Nana Goodness Gracious
Although it’s rainy and cold here in the Bay Area lately, I’ve been NEEDING nana ice cream (I mean seriously, summertime come through!).

Enjoy! With Love,

I Was Diagnosed: Part One

I knew in my heart it was the right thing to do, considering now at this point we’re unsure of what it is but not once thinking of the worst. Five o’clock in the morning on October 30th, 2017, my husband, Andrew, and I gathered ourselves to prepare for a long road ahead. It…
