December 21, 2011 Yea, just in time! You'll need fun activities for the the kids home for winter break and friends and family in from out-of-town. Chester Bowl is OPEN to accommodate! Here's details on times and the cost.
December 19, 2011 My family always had a real tree. We use to go out on a friend's land in Holyoke and cut a fresh one down. Ah, family memories. According to Mail Online, experts are saying real trees could be the reason for sickness in your household.
December 16, 2011 It seems every few years new theories come out about the best way to raise children, some of which go against what was previously believed to be a best practice. I've never been a fan of letting kids "cry it out" at night, but that is because I don't have the strength to let my kids cry for me for very long before I want to comfort them. Now it looks as though some experts thinks it's best to provide that comfort.
If the link between parent and child is strong enough that kids can "catch" their parents' stress, it may stand to reason that babies crave the physical connection that comes with a cuddle.
December 9, 2011 My dad likes to gamble. It's his fun thing to do. He's been to Vegas many times, so many times that when I was lost in Vegas I called him and he gave me directions back to my hotel over the phone
December 6, 2011 My family LOVES Spritz cookies. My daughter, Kylee, LOVES Nutella, thanks to her Aunt Michaela. I can combine the two flavors together for a sweet holiday treat, thanks to Taste Of Home! My most difficult task will be trying to get the trees all the same size!!! Enjoy!
December 5, 2011 We're always told to remember the REAL spirit of the holidays. That would include helping your neighbors and those in need in our community. There are several ways to do this, through the Salvation Army. Not only will it be appreciated beyond words, but will leave you with an incredibly wonderful warm and fuzzy feeling of helping others. Here's some ideas for you and your family to choose from.
December 5, 2011
Yesterday was a bad day. Nothing went right and even simple things got horribly complicated. I had a few simple projects to do around the house and it ended up taking all day.
December 1, 2011 Cathy's daughter Kylee turns 18 today. Happy Birthday Ky! We called her today to wish her a happy birthday on the Breakfast Club and I shared a few things that she can do now. Here's the list I scribbled down.
November 30, 2011 Easy and delicious! I love recipes that LOOK hard, but are easy and taste like something from a gourmet kitchen. This Taste of Home recipe received 5 stars, thought your family would like it and I know you'll be happy with the easy instructions. Let me know how it goes and remember, key word here is, "moist"!
November 29, 2011 Berlin, the Polar Bear at the Lake Superior Zoo, couldn't have a more timely birthday. It's around the holiday, but still early enough for Santa to leave the elves in charge of making the toys and join the FUN at Berlin's Birthday Bash! It's this Saturday, December 3. Berlin hopes you can come celebrate and take a picture with Santa. Here's all the details.
November 21, 2011 To be honest, I have never cooked a full turkey. I've cooked a turducken, ONCE, which is a chicken stuffed in a duck, stuffed in a turkey. It's oven-baked for hours on a low temperature. It took forever and STILL wasn't done, we ended up microwaving it!!!!
If it's your first time to cook a turkey, I'm rooting for you and thought Taste of Home could help with the process. Here's their easy steps to take in Turkey Preparation, GOOD LUCK!
November 18, 2011 Once again, I realize it's a bit early for Thanksgiving, however, I remember my mom planning her menu days in advance. Watching the grocery store shopping list grow and watching her "time table" so she knew what had to be done in what order, so it would all be done at the same time. So, I figured you might appreciate some early Thanksgiving recipes. This is one from Taste of Home that sounds delicious! I've never had dressing made with sausage, but I imagine it adds great flavor!
