March was Maple Syrup Month

The maple tree's in Wisconsin are not quite flowing yet due to the cooler spring temperatures. Soon very soon I do hope the temperatures adjust to normal as we watch the snow disappear and can enjoy the fresh maple syrup.

Dr. Lucy's Cookies are amazing and celebrating Maple Syrup month with Maple Bliss cookies was priceless.

Here are some fun facts and statistics about maple syrup

• Maple syrup is produced from the sap collected from the Sugar Maple tree
• Sugar Maple trees are grown in the northern states of the US and in Canada
• It takes 30-50 gallons of sap to make one gallon of maple syrup
• Usually a maple tree is at least 30 years old and 12 inches in diameter before it is tapped
• Maple sap is clear, watery and contains only 2-4% sugar.
• The season for tapping the trees begins in late February and runs through March
• The sap begins to flow when temperatures begin to rise above freezing during the day but fall below freezing at night.
• The sap will run intermittently over the next 4-6 weeks until the weather warms and the buds begin to form on the trees.

One of the best ways to enjoy maple syrup this month is with Lucy’s Maple Bliss cookies – crunchy little pancakes full of maple flavor. http://drlucys.com/cookies/maplebliss

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program.

Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes.
