I Heart Children's Books

I love reading children's books. Sometimes when I'm reading to my 3 year old cousin or my 1 year old niece, I realize that they are on the other side of the room and have long ago lost interest in what I'm reading and moved on to something else. And yet I keep reading because I want to know the ending even if they don't. I'm a kid like that :P But according to this article on the Rabbit Room by Jennifer Trafton, (author of "The Rise and Fall of Mount Majestic) it's perfectly ok to be childlike (not childish). It's a rather lengthy article but definitely worth your time. I hope you read it then go color, or read Moo Baa La La La, or play hide and go seek. :)

Child at heart,

Middle Child Syndrome

I'm a middle child. I go through phases. All you middle children out there know exactly what I mean. The baking blog phase didn't last very long. Sorry guys. However! Do not despair. This blog shan't be abandoned. I'm turning it into a "post about whatever I feel like today" blog. Ya know, the kind where you write about a really yummy meal you just had, or about some cool outing you went on, or share a picture that's fun/cute, or about something funny your cousin said...about the stupid good stuff of life...which will undoubtedly include some recipes from time to time. So having said that, I must go so I can eat my stupid good dinner...Pioneer Woman Mac n' Cheese. It's gonna be epic. Later ya'll!
