With a little more time at home these days, I’ve found myself reading more. While I know some of you are learning Italian and focusing on making that picture perfect sour dough loaf, I’ve fallen in love with characters from Milwaukee to Seattle. I’ve spent time in the 50’s and relived the 90’s. I have been able to forget our current situation for hours at…

Let’s talk about Dad…My dad to be exact. Growing up, my dad traveled a lot. This meant that those days he was home to watch MASH with us before dinner were special. On weekends, he would run errands on Saturday and often bring home deli for lunch. He was there, present, and not fazed by raising three strong women. Now, fast forward to 2020…I have not…

We tend to stick with the tried and true scrambled or…

For instance, we are not eating out like we usually do,…
