National Poetry Month Awesomeness: Blurring the Lines Between Prose and Poetry. April 2, 2014. Serendipitously, I’ve read three books in the past few weeks that I love and that I think most readers will love, too. All are unrhymed poetry and span various age ranges for what that’s worth, coming from an adult that prefers so-called kiddie novels above all other genres, and who reads children’s picture books to her kids for herself as much as for them. Inside Out and Back Again. Are you kidding me? That’s ...

Parties, arts and crafts, and other assorted ways we let our creativity out to play and amuse ourselves. Dinosaur (Paleontologist) Party Prep III: Dino Dig Cake! March 20, 2014. Finished product. Should've reserved some "dirt" crumbs to redust it with right before serving as the moistness from the bones seeped a bit. I had a vision for this cake pretty early on. The canyon-scene. So, a dino dig? I just had to find a way to get some cool looking dinosaur bones in there. Seemingly perfect for a dino cake?
