When many people think of dessert, they believe these foods should be rich, gooey, and decadent. These recipes are a bit different, but still delish!

SUMMER READING LISTS BIRTH TO GRADE 2-
Education K-12
I recently saw a funny meme that said, "It takes a library to raise a child." Here are some great book lists for kids from birth up to preschool and from Kindergarten to 2nd grade.
These lists were put together by a group that knows a lot about children's books. The librarians were busy for a while when they created these lists!
Check out some of these books from your local library! Read with your kids every day. Show them that books are fun and interesting. Let them see that you think books are important.
The best thing you can do to help your kids do well in school is to read to them every night. Kids start learning before they even get to school. That’s why we’ve included a list of books for the little ones.
If you teach them to love reading early on, they’ll have a much easier time doing well in school. Plus, it’s a great way to spend quality family time. Enjoy those special moments together!
With about 4 dozen books to choose from on this very diverse list, you are sure to please these rising readers!
SPRING CLEANING,
THE SPIRIT, AND ADHD-
Live Well
Many people focus on spring cleaning as a time to clean the house. Imagine if we could make it more than that? What if you make Spring a time for a spiritual clean up? What do I mean by that?
Think of it like giving your inner self a fresh start.
Your spirit, or your inner happiness, needs care and attention to grow strong and shine. Spend time doing things that make you feel good and help you relax—things you love, not just things you have to do. We often forget to make time for what makes us happy because we’re busy with daily routines. Make sure to set aside that special time for yourself, and don’t let anything get in the way unless it’s an emergency.
In school and life, we often focus on fixing the problems that come with ADHD attention challenges. But instead, think about the good parts. Your energy and creativity are things that make you special. The daydreaming or "being in your own world" side of attention difficulties can actually help you come up with unique ideas and solutions that others might not think of. Use that to your advantage and focus on the positive things you bring to the table with your ADHD.
