Karen Zemek Kaleidoscope Memories by Cindy Oldham, Vicky Ennis, Jenny Stees

I liked peeking in on this family with six kids. Parents could certainly learn some tips from these wonderful parents who were strict, but not mean and responsible but also fun loving. I especially liked the tales about the monster dog, the blanket trap, the family pets and napping with mama. Reading t… Continue

I constantly had my older children calling me up, asking me the infamous "Mom, how do you make this?" or "There's something missing, mom". As a thought, I had decided to put all the recipes that the kids were always asking… Continue
