This week marks our 9th Wedding Anniversary and to celebrate, we went to Freeport, Maine this past weekend. We were actually guests of the Hilton Garden Inn in Downtown Freeport as part a trip for TravelingMom.com (I write as Rhode Island Traveling Mom). There is much to share about the hotel and I will write it in detail later this…
There is a fabulous website out there called ‘Kids Draw & Cook’ that you simply must check out. The entire premise is to have kids draw the recipe you are making. You can submit the photos/recipes on their site as long as the child is 16 or under. They are also having a book published…
