Being completely honest, before I go any further in this series I have to let you know that I do not remember everything perfectly. My first pregnancy was over ten years ago, and the good Lord granted me a certain degree of “amnesia” to help me deal with it. Otherwise, there is no way on His green earth that I...

The Future Queen & I: What Kate & I Have in Common (Part 3)

Entertaining: Cheese Display
Over the years, an interest in hospitality has led me down some very "Martha Stewart-ish" paths. I don't claim to have abilities anywhere near Dear Martha, but I enjoy experimenting with food, dabbling in catering from time to time, and collecting recipes from family, friends, and, of course, Pinterest.
