Image source: https://blog.elle.fr/ras-la-toque/tag/galette-des-rois/ “La Galette des Rois” Recipe “La Galette des Rois” is a traditional and extremely popular sweet cake eaten almost everywhere in France around the Epiphany Day (January 6th), the day when the Three Kings visited Baby Jesus. This cake is so good that everybody enjoys it, whatever their religion! As part of the tradition, a small china fève (favor) is hidden in the cake. The person who finds the fève in his or her slice becomes king or queen for the day and wears a paper crown. They can also choose someone to be his or her king or queen for the day. Usually the younger person of the party…

Natasha Daniels, Parenting Help for Your Anxious Toddler
Natasha Daniels was frustrated that parenting books about children were missing critical information and support for those who have anxiety. A child therapist for over 15 years and a mother of children who struggle with anxiety, she became a passionate advocate determined to fill in the missing gap. “Anxiety looks so different in young children – it is often misdiagnosed or missed completely.

Knott’s Berry Farm Offers Affordable Fun!
Yesterday our family spent the New Year’s Eve at Knott’s Berry Farm and had so much fun enjoying the sights and sounds that this family-friendly amusement park offers.

Here are some of our favorite things to do at the park: Visit…

Connecting with Loved Ones
I really like when my job pushes me to think about things – about life, relationships, and ourselves. This month as part of the Stonyfield YoGetters group I was asked to talk with my daughter about when she feels most loved by myself and my husband.
