Bathtime is still fun. And lately, sometimes Anneliese will ask to play in the bathtub even without any water in it. Some mornings, when I open her door, she immediately goes into the bathroom to “Visit” her bath toys. She still doesn’t like when the water is running, or being washed. But the rest is…

I grew up with microwave popcorn, and now and then for fun, we’d make popcorn in the fire with our special fire-popping thingy. So I never learned, until very recently, how EASY it is to make popcorn on the stove. Y’all, it’s easy. Like EASY. I’ve been enjoying better-than-movie-theater buttery popcorn, and today I made…
