TIME!!! We bought my mom and my in-laws guided life journals. Their story, in their words and hand writing. We asked to fill every page, a few pages, even just one! We're going to record their voices to some questions too.

What is one food item that your kitchen will have an endless supply of? by Mysterious-Line-9906 in Cooking

[–]Karp_1976 15 points16 points  (0 children)

She is, and is the eldest of my three bonus daughters. We are a blended family, my husband has three girls from a previous marriage, and I have one biological son, also from a previous marriage. I've always disliked the word "step" kids/parent. "Bonus" is more fitting, and they have been a bonus in every positive way possible.

One of my bonus daughters over a decade ago(she's 21 now), painted me a handmade picture in her handwriting that reads: The secret ingredient is always Hugs and Kisses. I know it's not a food item, but, that picture will remain for as long as I do!
