Gift Ideas for a Child’s First Birthday
by Rachel Paxton
As a mom of three small boys, we have gone through a lot of toys in the past five years. Because we have a large extended family who buys our kids presents for birthdays and Christmas, our boys have had the opportunity to try out a lot of neat toys. Of course they have played with some toys more than others, and some toys cost enough that you would like to know if your child would like them before you buy them so they don’t end up stuck in a box in a corner somewhere.









I still love to make homemade cookies, but you really can’t beat these cookies, especially if you don’t have very much time to bake. With three young children, and my entire house boxed up for the past two months anticipating a move that has yet to happen, I am more than not in the mood to dig out all my baking supplies.
