Practical Tips for Teaching Kids to Cook

July 11, 2011 By Dana White | 10 Comments

I've shared that one of my summer goals is to teach my boys to cook. Nothing fancy. No chef hats or complicated techniques. Just survival cooking.

Relieved by Rules

July 28, 2010 By Dana White | 3 Comments

As a mother, I am a leader. Sometimes I lead by force. Sometimes I lead by encouragement. But always, whether I like it or not . . . I lead by example. We have had a new addition to our home in the last month. My son, who is 8, bought a DS. If you don’t know what that is (like I didn’t a year ago), it’s a hand-held video game system. I … [Read more...]
