Adding the Final touch

Enjoying Life with the Kids

12:00 AM 0 Comments
In this day and age kids have so much to stimulate them yet sometimes the basic needs like playing outside fall to the wayside. My daughter only gets about 15 minutes of recess at school each day which totally floored me and I understand why when we walk home she runs most of the way because she has all this pent up energy...

I don't bake and it is the one thing I really fail miserable at. I rather go and buy something at the store. I try and it usually ends in a failure. I do have the cake ball maker which helps some but it is one of the skills I just can't master. I have been thinking of taking the cake class at the local craft store...
