This shouldn’t be such a hard decision. Bee has this at the top of her list of gifts she’d like for the holidays. Our hesitation isn’t because the toy oven has an age recommendation of 6 and up. No… wait, is it 7 and up? I’ll go look… hold on… holy cow, you aren’t going [...]

Any parent worth their salt probably practices this age old art with their kids, veggie resistant or not.

A friend of Mom’s got Bee a book for the holidays that she loves – it is a fairy cookbook. Here are some pics from our first attempt to make something from the book – I adapted it to be less sweet, easier, and to have only one flavor rather than a mix of them. [...]
