THE ABC’s OF PARENTHOOD, Debra Copaken & Randy Pulumbo A wise, warm, and witty gift for new (and gently used) parents seeking to raise positive, thoughtful children, this alphabet book brims with the advice only those who’ve been there can give.

It was our very first day of live streaming and Elizabeth, from Bradenton, Florida called in to let us know that she is very excited about our new format. She also shared a  Butternut Soup recipe.

Did you know that there is only one ‘true cinnamon’ of the four primary varieties. It’s Ceylon cinnamon and grown mostly in Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon).
