On S’mores and Solar Ovens
Who doesn’t like science projects? Tornadoes in a bottle, model solar systems, and of course the iconic baking soda volcanoes. I love science projects, and this one was a perfect way to spend a long pandemic day.
On a New Dog and the Old One
What do you do when you get an unresponsive rescue dog? Get another rescue dog, of course! Yep, we got another dog. And I have to say, I am liking it so far!
