A real then and now thought

Last night while having dinner, I was watching my wife feed our son, and enjoying the slow cooker chicken and dumplings meal she’d started earlier that morning. (Now the picture makes a little more sense, doesn’t it?) It’s funny to see what he’d eat. His own plate of c&d, green beans, and applesauce. And the Read More…

Tried a New tasty
