play and play and play
I’ve been playing a lot lately. When Lucy is home, she mostly wants to play hide and seek with me. (And with her daddy when he is home. That’s a fine game.) Generally, she doesn’t quite…
Cookies
gluten-free soft molasses cookies
Every Christmas, my mother made batches of soft molasses cookies with sweet vanilla frosting on top. Talk about sugarplum fairies — these were the cookies of my dreams. You can make a chocolate chip cookie all…
