Wow! What a GREAT bundle! We would LOVE to win the second bundle for 1st-3rd grade. My daughter LOVES reading the Magic School Bus books on her own (she started reading at a young age and these books are just the right level for her). We only have a few and always asks for more. She has really enjoyed art with mom so having the art set would be a tremendous help around here and allow her to explore different art mediums. I would also LOVE to play the game as a family - we are always looking for ways to bring us together. Thank you for posting!!!!
God bless,
Tracey at Tot Play

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
