What is the greatest lesson your children have ever taught you?
Umm... no food-related question, this time. Get over it.
A blog full of recipes, photographs, memories and other fun stuff. Please add your thoughts, memories and sarcastic comments in the "comments" section of each recipe. Usually the story behind the recipe is way more interesting than the actual recipe.

No matter how ADORABLY you dressed them from age 5-9, they will insist you PURPOSELY Dressed Them to Look Like Dorks.
Don't tell your kid your ATM pin no. at the gas station in the rain in the dark when she’s in the 4th grade...cuz somehow she still remembers your pin # when she's in the 9th grade....and she knows how to use it!
Always listen to what a teenager tells you, no matter what her delivery style, because no matter HOW she says it, there is usually some brutal truth to be learned about yourself and your parenting/auntie/or grandparenting skills. If the message strikes a nerve, you better Listen To It and Learn From It—teenagers usually have a way of getting to the heart of a matter. Brutal Honesty is hard to hear, BUT IT IS A GIFT.
I don’t have it handy…but Kate wrote it on an award she rec’d at high school, a certificate that she let me keep, that I have hung in my office. It says something like “Have faith in me Mom, be patient, I know what I’m doing.” Kate was always my “Wild Child”…when I cleaned her room, weird things were tied and looped to weird other things—strange creations-- and well, I just didn’t know WHAT WAS UP WITH THIS CHILD, she was always creating things, “unusual” to say the least. Turns out this was Artistic Talent, which I didn’t “get” until she was in high school and she was singled out in high school as being extremely artistic. Now I just keep my mouth shut when she wakes up and says “I feel like building a giraffe out of wire today.”
