Lady and Bella's Alphabet Kitchen : A to Z Recipes for Kid Cooks

Author, publisher and women's retreat host, Annette Bridges is on a mission to help every woman realize her story is extraordinary, valuable and noteworthy. She publishes books, journals and coloring books that empower, encourage and entertain. Annette's retreats provide women an oasis to decompress, rediscover their inner child and learn what their hearts desire most. Before writing books, this former public school and homeschool educator spent a decade writing hundreds of helpful, instructive, and light-hearted columns published by Texas newspapers, parenting magazines, websites and bloggers. Writing aspirations began as a child with journal keeping, but Annette would not write her first published essay - a guest column in the Dallas Morning News - until she became an empty nester when her only child left for college. Annette went from a brand new empty nest mom wondering what in the heck she was going to do next in her life to a prolific writer. Annette lives on a cattle ranch with her husband John, dachshund Lady and lots of cows. She can drive a tractor but only if wearing a fresh coat of lipstick and it's not her pedicure day! You can learn more about Annette's books, blogs and videos as well as her women's retreats at www.annettebridges.com. She invites you to follow her and chat on Facebook at www.facebook.com/TexasAuthorAnnetteBridges. You're also welcome to join her Facebook groups "Anyone can do 10!" and "Have Lipstick, Will Travel."
