Tasty treats made from nutritious ingredients
One of my favorite DIY projects is cooking with my daughter. Although Whole Foods and others offer tasty (and usually pricey), healthier treats for kids, I have found a number of recipes and tips that have enabled me to offer my daughter sweets she enjoys and that I feel good about giving her.

Two rookies hurtle into the unfamiliar
I’ve noticed lately that time is starting to pass more quickly than my brain can fully comprehend. I find myself stuttering every time I say, “Two thousand, uh, 10.” I frequently misrepresent my age, unintentionally subtracting a year or two.

If Holden Caulfield were in My Classroom, by Bernie Schein
by Lea Holland
If my stepdaughter didn’t attend The Paideia School, I’m not sure I would believe everything Bernie Schein writes in If Holden Caulfield were in My Classroom. Paideia is different from any public school, and probably from most private schools. The teachers work in unorthodox ways, and the students thrive because of it. Schein has taught […]

Sideshow performers take hobby to the stage
by Lea Holland
When Chris “Capt. Stab-Tuggo” Steele and Elaina “Maybelle” Steele began sideshow performing, they had to consider the effects it would have on their two girls, Payton and Ava.
