Kid-o things
Some random thoughts 6 years later.
If you’ve lost a child to death, you will understand this. If you haven’t lost a child to death, you’ll think this is sad, but you won’t even begin to fathom what I am saying. You’d be better off trying to understand why time moves faster farther away from the earth. I’ve been struggling with […]
Amazing vegan strawberry ice cream
It is in the 90*s in March, and we are putting sod down in the back yard (because that is what responsible people do in the middle of an extreme drought), so we need something nourishing and refreshing, yet fun, to help us out. So I whipped up some ice cream quick, and it was […]
