Mess-Cipes: Inspiration for Early Childhood: HollyHock Dolls

Mess-Cipe Philosophy

When my youngest son, Sam was a toddler, he liked to push a chair up to the the kitchen counter to help me cook. Sometimes, I gave him his own bowl or pot, a mixing spoon and free rein of ingredients such as old ketchup, stale spices, etc and let him gleefully dump it all in and mix it up.

One day he came to me and asked "Mom, can we make another mess-cipe today?" And the idea for the title of a resource book was conceived. Sam is 18 now, so it's been a long gestation, but through this blog, I hope the birth of my first book will be here soon! Hope you enjoy following the creative process with me and the young ones in your life.

P.S. I am a messy person--(ask my sister, Marla who had to share a room with me growing up)--so I'm well-qualified to write this book. No worries, though. Messes are easily cleaned up and the experiences in-the moment are priceless!
