SARA LAFOUNTAIN

Sara LaFountain is the Mom behind the blog Cookwith5kids.  Sara has been blogging since 2010. Sara studied at Boston University and earned two degrees in Education. Sara has worked as a Kindergarten teacher, a Nanny and a preschool teacher.  Sara left teaching and took a break from working while raising five awesome children. Sara has four boys in the almost tween to teenage age bracket and one little girl.  You can find her and the family cooking and playing board games in the house daily, sometimes even at the same time. Sara is married to Dan, the resident recipe taster, and helper to all things blog related.  Dan is also starting his own blog, Tips from Dad that will debut in Fall 2015. Sara’s oldest son is the Chef of the house. He loves to cook, teach the family cooking tips, and usually is the one who creates all the beautiful and delicious food you see on this blog.  The Chef says that the food must look beautiful because you eat with your eyes first.  Dinner is often cold while the chef creates a perfectly beautiful plate for each person. Two of the teens in Sara’s family have an illness called POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) and much of Sara’s time is devoted to helping them. The almost tween is the resident tech/blog guru. He knows coding better than most adults. He is in charge of all plugins, codes and blog posts. Any questions should be directed to him. The little girl of the house is the cruise director.  She is always organizing meals, setting the table with seat assignments, cooking the food, finding players for board games, and learning to play golf in her spare time. Sara and her family love to review products in the areas of technology, toys, apps, games, and of course anything to do with cooking!  Sara lives in the DC Metro area with an awesome dog named Molly.
