The show must go on

So I want to know who called the dislodging of the plug that’s been keeping the cervix closed “the show”. It’s hardly like a Broadway production. The curtains opened with much anticipation this morning but tonight it’s like the actual feature hasn’t even started yet. Quite frankly this name made me think it would be [...]

Check out my muffins

What better way to pass time than bake muffins on a Saturday night? And funnily enough I was barefoot while in the kitchen.
