Kidzilla in the Kitchen
“Mamma, I want to help you cook.” At dinnertime on Monday night, Kidzilla was in the kitchen and ready to go to work. She pulled her chair over to the counter, climbed up, looked me in the eye and said, “So. What are we making?”

Five Minutes
It has been a very long week around here. Everyone is tired. We are all just a little bit cranky. My feet hurt. I have very little brain power available and I still have fifteen things to finish before I can even pretend to think about going to sleep. Is it Friday yet?
