One thing I’ve learned about being pregnant… Everybody likes to give their opinion… …about labor… …about eating right… …about gaining weight… …about what I should and shouldn’t lift… And I find it a little funny. For the most part, I don’t really mind. But the other day, one of my co-workers was having a conversation [...]

I love perusing old church cookbooks. I own a few, and between them, there must be over 50 recipes for jello salad. Complete with pretzels and canned mushroom caps. Mmmmmm. Well, I come from a Lutheran family you know. And I hear that jello salad is served as the vegetable course in some households in [...]

A couple of weeks ago, Scott and I found ourselves working the day shift together for a full week and a half. And you know what that means? It means dinner together, every night. And do you know how rare that is? Very rare. So the Monday before it all began, we plotted out our [...]
