There is something sweet and very humbling to hear, “oh, my! that is better than momma’s!” ~ while very kind, I know this cannot be true ~ for it is the love of that momma that made the pie taste a little sweeter, the dumplings a little fluffier and those biscuits, light as air…

Here’s to all the mommas out there, pouring your hearts into those complicated, multi-course dinners, stirring your love into every glass of chocolate milk, spreading the joy of your soul into the simple peanut butter & jelly sandwiches.
