February 28, 2012 by Jade Parker

Math was never my strong suit in school, so when I first heard of Pi Day, my mind went straight to a piping hot pie, fresh out of the oven with a flaky crust and the highly inappropriate amount of whipped cream that would obscure any sign of the pastry on my plate. I reveled in the thought of pumpkin spice traveling through my olfactory system as I sighed with contentment and a … [Read more...] about Fun Facts & Celebrations To Whet Your Appetite for “Pi Day”

Eyebrow Raising Lies Parents Tell Their Kids

February 9, 2012 by Jade Parker

I'll never forget it. It happened in one of those hazy cafes with the old brown drinking glasses and wooden seating booths. Tears streamed down my face as the seams of my heart snapped because I couldn't finish my Mickey Mouse pancakes. My sensitive four-year-old heart was falling apart because my mother told me if I didn't eat all my pancakes before we left, they would cry, … [Read more...] about Eyebrow Raising Lies Parents Tell Their Kids
