This is the coolest site – Made With Happy. Not only do I know Alli as a friend and a supermom, but she is also creative, dedicated, and totally into providing fun educational activities for her family and you! Her site is wonderful for parents, teachers, and, like me, grandparents. This back-to-school theme is perfect for the new year!
I incorporated many of her ideas when teaching and with my grandkids. I especially appreciate how she incorporates themes into her activities. You can find fun things to do for every holiday and special occasion.
I'm Melinda Stevens and living the life of a beach bum was inevitable since my father was a lifeguard for the city of Los Angeles. My memories of growing up on John Street in Manhattan Beach, California were filled with joy, excitement and adventures; until my world, as I knew it, fell apart when we moved to Del Mar, California. My father was offered the position as Captain of the lifeguards and we started the slow migration to the small deserted stretch of beach in 1963. At twelve years old, this seemed like the end of my life. Remember, I’m writing with clear hindsight now, ok somewhat clearer… Little did I know this would be the beginning of a new journey and give a bit more clarity to many of the events that led me to this new cooking adventure.
