Healthy happy you.
Father's Day is the time to recognize your dad and all the great things he has done for you. For example my dad and I finished many of our father-daughter bonding sessions with a trip to the candy store. Furthermore, dad's love for Rocky Road ice cream on Sunday afternoons somehow became my love for Rocky Road ice cream on Sunday afternoon. In celebration of him opening my eyes to desserts the Read more

One of my former first-grade students gave me this board book as it was her "very favorite book Read more
