With Mother’s Day coming up in just a few days I thought this would be a good time to talk about mothers. And love. And my mom. And my love for her. As moms we do everything we can for our children.

I Am… A Dealer in Words
I saw a quote from Rudyard Kipling one night when I was watching a documentary. I think that it was on Hungry For Change, another food documentary I highly recommend watching.
