Last week, 12 ZomppaKids joined our Education Director Leanne for our inaugural Spring Break Workshop – and what a week it was!

Egg Noodle Soup on a Grey Sunday
I love Sundays, but it was a wet Sunday yesterday and I was in no mood to cook. But when I saw those cute faces up from their naps, I could not afford to be lazy. So to make sure that I indulge my laziness (I am sure I am allowed that sometime) yet feed [...]
