Everybody knows that kids say the darndest things. There was a TV show about it, right? Bill Cosby was the host and it was based on material from an old Art Linkletter show. You can YouTube that and get some good laughs. Our Kidzilla, of course, comes out with a few winners every now and…

Are Super Heroes Real?
Forgive me for jumping on the super hero bandwagon, but when I find myself inspired by circumstances around me, well, I follow that inspiration.

Writing Workshop: Worst Meal Ever
Today, I was horrified by inspired by Kitchen Witch’s story about Shipwreck Casserole – I have never heard of such a thing. Her story immediately brought to mind some of my least favorite childhood meals. So I decided to join MamaKat’s Writing Workshop this week and play along…
