Last summer, I enjoyed Angie Smibert’s book Bone’s Gift. This summer, it was such a delight to read book #2, Lingering Echoes. WOW! It doesn’t happen often, but I actually enjoyed this book even more than the first one.

Three of us in the Savings in Seconds household own assorted Apple products, all of which require the lightning cable charger. Finding a charger, though, is like looking for the Holy Grail. We lose them so easily. I use iphone chargers as stocking stuffers! Since chargers can be pricey, I try to find them at discount. Here are my favorite retailers for affordable chargers.

I look forward to summer the way a desert traveler longs for an oasis. By the time summer finally rolls around each year, I’ve forgotten how ravenous my children become during the daylight hours. Mercy! It’s all I can do to keep them fed. Thanks to Welch’s Fruit Snacks and Sparkling Ice, we have plenty of tasty treats on hand for these hungry kids!

As I write this post, my teen daughter is preparing marinade for the stir-fry she plans to cook tonight. She’s not using a recipe. Instead, she’s experimenting with flavors that work well together, based on her experience in the kitchen. She pulled a bunch of ingredients out of the cabinets and just started playing around. It’s wonderful to see her gain confidence with her cooking! I know she’s going to be okay when she’s out on her own.
Her independence in the kitchen started when she was a child. She worked with me during meal prep. I watched her advance in skills and understanding over the years, and pushed her a little more when she was ready. She started with simple recipes that required almost no skill. Now she can cook better than most adults! My son is 10 years old and has shown interest in learning how to cook, so this summer I plan to work with him in the same way. We’ll start with the ideas in the new cookbook 20 Recipes Kids Should Know by teen sisters Esme and Calista Washburn.
