What would Valentine’s Day be without a Heart shaped cookie made with love? 

The children at A House of Blessing Youngstown had an opportunity to use  their “sweet tooth” to ice and decorate large heart shaped sugar cookies.  They tasted as good as they looked, too.  Thank you to  Jean Berger, a Beatitude House friend, who baked over 4 dozen cookies and sent the colored icings and sprinkles to complete the job.

Learning to Tie a Tie

Posted on: February 3rd, 2012

 A few schools have special assemblies and events where male students are asked to wear dress ties for the occasion.  Since not too many moms know how to do, we asked one of our male volunteers to teach the skill to the boys.  The boys at A House of Blessing in Youngstown learned how to tie ties for  “dress up days”. 

It will take a little more practice but they at least have the knotting technique down.  Practice, practice, practice!!!
