One of the things I love about being a mom is sharing my childhood with my kids. Theo's favorite animal is a mouse, so I told him about one of my favorite stories... The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Cleary. I also loved all the Ramona books.

  

 I searched Youtube and found The Mouse & the Motorcycle movie.  Score!

 

Theo: "They look like squirrels, not mice." lol

 

The movie was sooo bootleg and dated but I left it on anyway. lol

I fell asleep about 15 minutes in but Theo seemed to enjoy it.

I also saw the whole book series is available on Amazon Kindle, so I added it our book list.

Good times!

What advice do you have for a woman who’s ready to turn her passion for cooking into a paycheck?

"My advice would be to follow your heart, believe in yourself and your dreams and always practice having faith over fear.  Also, garner thick skin because you’re definitely going need it but stay positive. Make great food, grind hard and it will all be worth it!"
