Everyone in my family loved it, even our picky two-year-olds. (Of course they liked eating Christmas cookies more, but who wouldn’t?) It is the perfect breakfast casserole to make the night [...]

I wish I was crafty and able to make Christmas presents for my family and friends. But I’m not. I don’t have the skills or the patience. So instead, I buy local products or presents that benefit others.

There is nothing worse than when my daughter is sick. She is too little to understand why she doesn’t feel well, and I feel awful that I can’t make her feel better.
