Easy-Bake Oven

Little Homemakers As a little girl an Easy-Bake Oven was at the top of my Christmas list for years; finally, after years of patiently waiting, there it was underneath my Christmas tree. The epitome of Christmas gifts for little girls: an Easy-Bake Oven. Not once did I think I was gifted this by my parents because they wanted me to learn how to become a homemaker.

When you think of high power names in the workplace it's more often than not associated with men. In fact, statistics show that of the top corporate jobs in America only 15% are held by women. What’s even more startling is that of all the fortune 500 CEOs only twenty-one of them are women (Sandberg, 2013). These eye-opening statistics show that although women have made great strides in the workplace throughout the years one question remains; Why are there not more women in leadership positions? Sheryl

At a very young age, children are taught what their roles are through even the most subtle of media.

When a text is first being dissected it is important to walk in to the situation prepared. To be prepared you must go into the situation equipped with your own interpretation as to what constitutes literature. The definition of literature isn’t very concise.

Introduction Everyone can remember their favorite toys as a child. From Cabbage Patch Kids to Hot Wheels to Legos, one can reminisce fondly about sitting on the floor and playing with one of these.

Inari and I share one thing in common and that's setting things on fire by accident. I once had an easy bake oven and I wanted to make a cake, but I didn't want to wait that long for it to heat up.

Imagine this, you are sitting at your house babysitting your younger brother or sister and they are being really annoying and have nothing to do. Homemade playdough takes only a few easy steps and it doesn't take long to make. Your siblings will be quiet and have fun for hours on end.

Make sure you have a big enough bowl to mix all these

It is simple to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. All you need is five minutes, the ingredients, and someone to make it. However, there are ways you can take your sandwich to the next level.
