Seizing Unplanned Days for Teachable Moments
As the city editor of Being Savvy Washington DC, it is way too easy for me to get caught up in all the things there are to do in the area.

Cooking up some holiday memories in the kitchen
I come from a family that loves to cook. Holidays are an especially memorable time because of the favorite dishes that I've come to associate with each occasion and Christmas is all about cookies. Each year we made many different kinds of Christmas cookies that filled the house with the warmsmell of baking.
