Jacks Garden by Henry Cole

We are in full swing to our April Gardening unit today.  I received a call from our library that Jacks Garden by Henry Cole had come in for me. Picked that baby right up today and started in!  What a great book....here is what we did today!

Hi Melissa,

Oh what a beautiful little girl you have there. Such wonderful memories! I had to laugh when I read your thoughts on when you found out you were having a girl. My first 2 are girls and my youngest is a boy. I remember thinking to myself, "how am I going to be a Mommy to a little boy?" I wouldn't have it any other way now, but at the time I was a nervous wreak. God knows what he is doing though. Thanks for sharing your beautiful memories!

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
