Even kids who don't love to eat, love to cook.

And it's no wonder, the kitchen is a fantastic place for kids to flex their independence and learn in a real-life context.

This holiday season give the gift of bringing a family together in the kitchen to experience the fun of taking risks, getting creative,

and maybe even making a few mistakes together before enjoying a delicious well-earned meal.

there's so many ways to minimize the mess that might happen if kids are there. And I do think

that the payoffs are so great in the end that it is worth it.

to make my Christmas shopping list. Your photos. Yeah, do you do this? Whenever we're out shopping

with our kids and they want something and they can't have it right then, which is often,

we say, oh, would you like me to put that on your Christmas list? And we take a picture of it.
