Fishful Thinking Friday

Good Morning all - if you are not familiar with the Fishful Thinking Site, you should be. It's a wonderful program/site created to help you, help your chidlren. Full of activities, insight, and much more!

You might ask...What is Fishful Thinking?

The Pepperidge Farm® Goldfish® brand continues its commitment to healthy lifestyles by partnering with Positive Psychology leader and mother of four, Dr. Karen Reivich, to create Fishful ThinkingSM. Fishful ThinkingSM is a program for parents that helps them to raise children who have a positive attitude and can confidently tackle life's challenges.

I use so many of the activities with my children and I will tell you 1st hand that they work!

I hope you will grab your cup of tea this morning (not a cofee drinker here) and check out the site!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
