Smucker’s Uncrustables
One of TJ’s favorite snacks is peanut butter and jelly. He’s not nuts about bread in general but he is nuts about peanut butter and jelly, as well as grilled cheese. The thing is, since CJ has Celiac Disease and I pretty much gave up bread after surgery, I don’t keep a lot of fresh [...]
Online Higher Education

My Ring Is Not Flawless But I Love It
