Parents — if you want a simple way to teach your kids about kindness and giving, Giving Tuesday is the perfect moment. I’ve gathered local nonprofits that your family can support together. I let each of my kids pick which one they wanted to support and then had them shop the Wishlist for that organization - I even put the links right in the article for you!

Opening this month’s Pampered Chef Kids’ Cooking Club box felt like unwrapping a whole new world of creativity.

Our home is very sensory-driven, so I’m always looking for activities that bring hands-on learning, calm engagement, and confidence-building to the kitchen. This kit checks every box.

Braylon’s face when he saw the tools? PURE JOY. And the way every piece is designed for little hands… 10/10.

We’re using this as a way to:
• build independence
• strengthen fine-motor skills
• practice following steps
• stay present + connected
• make the kitchen feel like a safe sensory space

If you’ve been searching for a way to get your kids excited about cooking (without chaos), and looking for a gift that keeps on giving, this series is a win. https://bit.ly/43MPMtA
