It should come as no surprise to anyone, that after the invention of the teddy bear in 1902, it would become so popular, that eventually different bear species would be used to create other plush bears. The polar bear, the American black bear, and the panda bear, were some of the earliest bears used as models for stuffed bears. It was only a matter of time, before different sizes of stuffed bears were manufactured - big plush bears happen to be...more

Cooking with your kids, and teaching them how to cook using easy recipes, gives them freedom and self-confidence that will grow throughout their lifetimes. I learned this by accident when I was a kid. I was a picky eater, and my mom, God bless her, finally just gave up. I frustrated her so much, that she finally just threw up her hands saying, Fine, make your own food! (Now she didnt stick entirely to this decision, but I saw this as a challenge.) I got really good at making easy recipes for kids like peanut butter sandwiches, grilled cheese sandwiches, spaghetti, and the like. Eventually, I experimented and begin adding other easy recipes to my cookbook steadily getting to more complicated dishes. I believe that this early self-confidence led me down a road that added to my success pretty dramatically. For instance, when I went away to college, my best friend went to the same University, and I remember his mom pulling me aside while I was helping him pack and saying, Doug, you are so independent. I really worry about Greg. He doesnt even know how to do his laundry. Thats when it hit me that the things that I began to figure out when I was a kid helped me be more...more
