Every Spring I try to find a way to celebrate the birthday of one of our favorite authors, Dr. Seuss. 
Dr. Seuss published over 60 books during his career, which have spawned numerous adaptations, including 11 television specials, four feature films, a Broadway musical, and four television series.
The reason I celebrate his birthday is to instill a love of reading in my kids. So every year on March 2nd we celebrate the silly author on the annual date for National Read Across America Day, an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association.
We started the celebrations with a visit to Barnes & Noble with friends Greyson and Remy for a Dr. Seuss themed story time.
Thing 1 and Thing 2. Thanks for the fun props Ms. Kathy. 
In the past we celebrated with breakfast, but with busy mornings and busy weekends we decided to change it up a little bit and host a Dr. Seuss brinner (breakfast for dinner) for his birthday. 
We kept the menu simple; green eggs, green cheese, hash browns and smoothies.
The cheese was Gouda pesto cheese from Trader Joe’s.
The green eggs were spinach, eggs, a splash of milk and salt and pepper.
The smoothies were spinach, peach, banana and a splash of milk. 
For dessert we used Sarah’s cake she made in baking class a few days before and even stuck a candle in it. 
I love celebrating life with my family and I like it even more when it involves learning and food.
See past celebrations below.
