My 3 Little Givers

Yesterday we went to our local Post Office and made our donation to the Toys for Tots. I like to do this around Thanksgiving each year in conjunction with our lesson on giving back and being thankful for what God has provided for us. Two of the post ladies were kind enough to come on out from behind their post and take pictures with the kids and watch them make their donation. Even little Sammie was able to push her gift into the box. We talked about why we do this each year and how they are so blessed to have all they have. The kids donated without hesitation! Proud of them!

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
