Favorite Books (Age 8 - 12)

This age range (8 - 12) is one of my favorite for my children.  During this stage, they get the most free time for reading and really develop their personal tastes for what books they like best.  One child will discover a love of fantasy while another will cherish the classics. 

Below you will find over 90 titles that will appeal to boys and girls alike.

Nanaimo Bar Recipe

 

Nanaimo bars are a no bake dessert consisting of a sweet creamy custard filling sandwiched between a chocolate graham cracker and coconut crust and a semi-sweet chocolate topping.

Unsure of the exact origin of the dessert, though many believe it originated in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada, these bars are an easy and wonderfully delicious dessert for any event.
