My dear friend, Rachelle Doorley, the creative mind behind the kids' activity blog, TinkerLab, wrote a book that touches me deeply. We are all trying to raise children who can thrive in an uncertain world, but the big question is, "How do we do it?"

Rachelle's beautiful hands-on book gives children opportunities to think for themselves, problem-solve, innovate, and most importantly, believe they are all little creators. I think she's onto something...

Hi Everyone,

Check out my favorite parties added to our site this week...

A lovely pink and gold ballerina birthday party, an adorable spring kitten girl birthday party, a colorful art boy birthday party, and an amazing Alice in Wonderland birthday party for two little girls.

In these peach blueberry muffin tin pies, I knew I wanted to make something that incorporated all of the incredible summer fruit I'm seeing at the farmer's market.

But I didn't just want to make a big 'ol pie, I wanted to make mini pies I could bake in a muffin tin. I thought they'd be more portable and bite size, great for outdoor entertaining, plus aren't they darn cute?
