Home Sweet Home

I have had a few friends who got pregnant after they did various “detox” things.  I am not doing it to lose weight, just to try to get some junk out of my system that might [...]

I wish I was better…

I wish I was better at writing songs.  I really want to be an artist who writes.  I have written countless “parts” of songs, only 3 completed works.

But [...]

I am spoiled. 
My mom always made our strawberry jam and applesauce homemade.
I can’t eat store bought.
This weekend when we went home, my mom hooked us up with another jar. 
Mmm  hmmm.
