I've always told my kids it's ok to make mistakes. We learn from our mistakes. As the age-old saying goes, "you never touch a hot stove twice." And so, I attempted to make a very easy Raisin Bread yesterday and failed miserably. The best part was that my kids watched me fail, get frustrated, and try again.
