I will admit when I first had kids and started helping Santa with the stockings, I needed to learn a thing or two.

Do you ever remember playing in the kitchen while your mom or grandmother were baking? The wonderful smells and the fun conversations not to mention the amazing treats that came out of the oven!

You don’t have to be Irish to enjoy St. Patrick’s Day. Kids will revel in learning how snakes, leprechauns and four-leaf clovers are celebrated on this holiday.
Well, make that Birthday Season for everyone in my family BUT me.
I celebrated my special day last month – super great day! The kids made me pancakes and I didn’t have to run one errand all day long (now that’s a birthday).
So Spring is my time to focus on creating special days for my family.
