Chloe made an adorable little flower pot craft using a Pom Pom making tutorial she had seen on YouTube and her imagination. With a Pom Pom maker for another craft, she was able to create her own by recalling the video she had watched. Her Pom Pom was way better than the one made with the store bought maker! ~Chloe, 8 years old

Bryce has created his own business, "Jimmy Rocks"...which has recently been renamed "Ramsey Rocks." He got the idea from "Jimmy Bears," the wood carver in Mahwah who carves bears out of tree stumps that can be seen around town . Like, Jimmy's bears, Bryce brings a smile to people's faces, with the art he makes from nature. He spent many summer days "excavating" rocks from around his property in his wheelbarrow - some extremely large and very heavy! He cleans them up and then paints them with "happy" pictures-hearts, sunshine, rainbows, etc. He wants to deliver them to all of the neighbors on his street, to put a "smile on everyone's face when they see them." He plans on expanding his business by delivering Ramsey Rocks to his friends all over Ramsey once he's finished with all the houses on our street. He takes his work very seriously. Ramsey Rocks is a non-profit organization. ~Bryce, 5 years old
Violet goes home from school every day and cannot wait to head to her bedroom where there is a huge white board where she pretends she is a teacher and 'teaches her class (stuffed animals)' all about math or writing that she has done that day in school. She continually pushes herself to to learn things she has not been taught yet. "Mommy, my class is so smart today, look what they have learned." ~Violet, 7 years old
