I'm Christi. Thanks for stopping by. This is my "other" blog, where you can sometimes find me when I am away from the oven. Things aren't quite as sugar coated here. This is life, the blogger behind the blog, the mama to two sweet girls, one with special needs that are a big part of our every day life. These are my rants and ramblings about anything and everything. Except chocolate & sprinkles. Thanks for stopping by.
