Because I don't think I could share just one of these pictures from a visit to my grandmother's house, I'm sharing several. I think they are beautiful. They are beautiful to me because of the people in them. My grandmother is my best friend. And you know my mama's heart for my daughters.

I told them they were full of sugar and gluten. He said he'd eat one or two... I knew their ... Read More about The best chocolate chip cookies. Ever.
