Character

Have you decided on any specific New Year’s resolutions yet? Maybe they would be easier to remember and apply if each resolution was connected to a certain character quality such as responsibility or truthfulness. Defining and recognizing good character is definitely a need at our time in history. A couple weeks ago, here at Nan […]

The dream of all gingerbread is to one day be a gingerbread house, set on a pedestal and admired by many a passerby. This season a fortunate  piece of gingerbread was bought and masterfully glued together with  icing into the shape of nothing less than a house! “Oh how exciting! It  actually happened to me! […]

This was a more challenging course than I had figured it would be! It takes a lot of creativity, patience, and time to really get the meat of what the course offers. Even though I was only able to meet about 75% of the assignments, it was well worth what I was able to get […]

Chocolate is a Fruit…

A friend of mine recently gave me the wonderful news that chocolate is a fruit! Why?
