The truth about chestnuts
Yesterday, I talked about the way My Favorite Winks will work as a giveaway. Today I want to share with you one my favorite winks from September. On this particular day I was walking with Honey Bear when I came across a familiar brown nut. I was sooo excited to find chestnuts that I took them home & cooked them. Well first I grabbed my camera and encouraged my family to pick as many as they could carry. Back home I scored them, placed them in the pressure cooker, and waited.

What would your Mom do for a Unicorn?
I feel it’s essential that I set aside materials for the minions to make art, random sketches, or write books on a whim. However. I am a bit concerned… Last month I introduced the girls to an entertaining graphic novel, Phoebe and her Unicorn. Rosa found it too weird and not cute enough for her taste. Probably because we are homeschooled and a lot of the public school scenarios escape her. Lila absolutely loved it! So much that she was inspired to draw her own comic… She was very excited to share with me her work but left some of the comment balloons empty. I asked her what was going on… She…
