am not a homebody, and admit that I suffer from a bit of shpilkes on the weekends. I find myself constantly running around town trying to engage My Little Foodies with different activities. I thought My Little Foodies—particularly Big A—would be entertained by a behind the scenes tour of their (and almost every kid’s) most beloved treat! Continue reading »

Feeding Hungry Hippos at HippoHopp

Led by a professional chef and the cooking school’s assistants, the kids were outfitted in little aprons and dish towels like they were on the line at some Michelin 3-star restaurant for this “Dad and Me: In the Kitchen” class. The kitchen is every person’s dream, whether you cook or not: massive work spaces with gorgeous finishes, multiple top-of-the line ovens, and every kitchen tool you have pinned on “Dream Kitchen” for your Pinterest page.
