The Home Baking Association is a non-profit trade organization offering educational materials about…read morescratch baking for teachers, home educators and the general public. They've been in continuous operation in various forms since 1923. I first became aware of the organization during their annual Bake for Family Fun Month celebration held each February. They publish a great deal of free resources, activities and lesson plans about baking with kids. In addition, you'll find hundreds of recipes of their website as well. The organization participates in workshops, baking festivals, and other educational partnerships throughout the year. They've also published a plethora of DVDs, instructional manuals and cookbooks that can be found on their website. I particularly enjoy the children's cookbook Baking with Friends. If you are looking for a way to engage your kids or students in the kitchen, I'd suggest the Home Baking Association as a good place to start.

Pinned had a great deal over Memorial Day weekend on their custom signs and I'd ordered one. I…read morereceived a call yesterday letting me know it was in. I said I'd pick it up the following day. Well, I must not have listened to her recite the hours because I showed up at 10:50AM and realized they weren't open! I walked back to my car, planning on coming back. However, the proprietor rushed out and asked if I'd needed something. I explained I was there to pick up an order and she let me in to make my purchase. I was so impressed with her kindness and patience, letting me in WAY before opening! I definitely can't wait to return and work on a project there with friends and family. It's a very fun and creative space and the owner is very approachable and friendly.

Extremely disappointed with Keys of Joy in Lawrence…read more We experienced multiple issues with their scheduling and communication. On one occasion, our class was canceled with only 20 minutes' notice. Another time, we arrived to find the session had been double-booked. When we voiced our concerns, we were told make-up sessions could take weeks to schedule, and eventually, they told us they were too busy to continue providing service altogether. At this point, they still owe us three make-up sessions that were never honored. We've had great experiences with other kids' programs in Lawrence--gymnastics, soccer, karate, and art--but this was by far the most unprofessional. Unfortunately, I can't recommend Keys of Joy to other families.

On a warm afternoon visit, Topeka Cemetery felt like one of those quiet places where the city seems…read moreto pause for a moment. Founded in 1859, it carries that early Kansas semse of history with long rows of older stones and a layout that still reflects its 19th century roots. Two of the more interesting figures buried here are George Tobey Anthony who served as the seventh governor of Kansas after a career as a Civil War officer and newspaperman, and Frank P. MacLennan, the longtime editor and publisher of the Topeka State Journal who helped shape journalism in the region. Visiting their markers adds a little depth to the walk, especially when you enjoy connecting names to the broader story of Kansas. I also made it a point to see the Civil War memorial and it was pretty cool to see one on the Union side as I am usually traveling in the south. The statue has that classic soldier-at-rest look and stands out nicely against the older sections of the cemetery. It is a peaceful place overall, relatively easy to navigate, and worth a stop if you enjoy historic cemeteries or want a quiet moment in Topeka. [Review 797 of 2026 - 137 in Kansas - 25977 overall]

First is the Mausoleum Row, a cluster of about a dozen mausoleums all erected between 1880 and 1910ish that is listed on the National Historic Site index. They overlook downtown Topeka and the capitol to the west about 20 blocks away and it provides a nice serene vista. Vice President and Topeka's favorite son Charles Curtis is buried here - VP for Herbert Hoover 1929 -1933. The highest ranking Native American to serve the US government, ironically graves of those that fought against Native Americans in the Indian Wars are also buried nearby. Many Civil War soldiers and veterans are laid to rest here also.

Each week I was amazed at what was being taught in pre-k on top of the normal curriculum: chess tournaments, space week, music, animals and their habitats, etc. It was pretty amazing to have my 4yr old come home one day and tell me an elephant is an herbivore because "they only eat vegetables". We were in Topeka only temporarily and winded up extending our stay solely so that our daughter could finish pre-k and summer camp here. It was such a blessing to have found this school and are so thankful for the time our daughter was a student here. Thank you for all you guys do each and every day. We will miss y'all so much!
