Wait!

If she’s a future foodie, the bread basket action play set might just be indispensable!

My grandbabies have loved their fake food, fake kitchen, fake shopping cart, fake pots & pans & plates … all of it. You have no idea! I’ve been fed more plastic broccoli, rubber cupcakes, and wooden pizza than you can shake a fake rolling pin at! It’s not just a foodie thing, it’s a nurturing thing, and a community thing! And the make-believe that happens with fake food during the wobbly years leads up to side-by-side REAL kitchen activities with grown-ups during the steady-enough-for-the-step-stool years. I promise.

AND WHEN IT RAINS FOR FIVE HUNDRED DAYS IN A ROW, YOU CAN HAVE FAKE FOOD PICNICS ON THE LIVING ROOM FLOOR!!

Please reconsider your position on the bread basket action play set!

This isn’t just read by folks in the same boat as you, but also by those of us who would probably never get the guts to do what you are doing. You make quite the pair sharing your adventure through your words and Nicole’s eyes. It’s kind of funny, I started out reading this religiously and then got away from it and this is the first one I read in a while. Must’ve been pretty cool to be on the other side of the “fanboy” experience.

Oh, and that mission statement wasn’t bad, be happy you can’t take credit for the song!

Not to call your blog fans cockroaches, but, you know, some of us may be a bit on the lurky side.

I always enjoy catching up here. And it’s not just because I’m gaga for babies.

Right now, I have some travel writing I’m doing for a travel site, but no foodiness as of yet…

In addition to the music writing, are you submitting any articles or reviews to foodie publications?

In Royal Oak, I had to keep a sitter on retainer for the older two just to ensure we’d get to birthing classes for the third kid. In hind sight I wish we had kept one on retainer for a regular date night. It’s something to consider, even if you just duck out for a long walk & talk to stay on budget.
