It was a very strange and ill-advised experiment. You can re-read that here. And even before that, I ate every single breakfast item… Read more →
As you guys know, Mother’s Day is coming up next Sunday. If you didn’t know, this is my reminder to you. Mother’s Day is a very important day to celebrate, because mothers are important people.
