Just a stay-at-home mother of four writing about books, parenting, and life in general. I hope you enjoy the ride.
Picture it: Fall, 2018. I went to a party for a women’s group I’m in and there was bread sitting there cut into pieces on the appetizer table. I tried some and it was delicious! So, I asked around and finally found the girl who made it. “What is this…
