I was SO excited when I got my Mother's Day gift from Carsyn that she'd been making at Preschool. I submitted a recipe to her school a few weeks ago, but didn't really know what it was for. Well, now I know... the kids made a recipe book for their Mom's for Mother's Day and I LOVE it!

The cover is a series of questions the kids answered about their Mom and the inside is the recipes from the Moms. There's also a section that reads this, "What is your favorite meal that your Mom cooks for you and how does she prepare it?"

Prepare yourself for some funny kid answers, haha!

The week of Christmas, I had the pleasure of broadcasting live from the Owensboro Museum of Science and History. I hate to admit this, but in my six and a half years of living here, it was my very first time to visit the museum! Even though I didn't really know what to expect, I was very surprised at how many cool things the museum has to offer!

Here at WBKR, we are huge fans of local artist Aaron Kizer.  Personally speaking, I think Aaron is just amazing.  His talent is undeniable and people around the world have taken notice.  But, those of us who know him personally know that Aaron is much more than a guy with a paint brush.  He is an artist with a heart as pure and as beautiful as the creations he paints on canvas.  Because of this and his charitable commitments and offerings around the community, I just had a hunch I should jump on board his Black Print project.  Sure, it sounded a little ridiculous to spend $30 on a sheet of paper that was simply painted black.  But, I think everyone who bought a print knew that there was going to be something very impactful in doing so.  Turns out, there was!
