More times than not, when my mom asks what I’d like her to cook when she visits, I tell her that I would love to have a hot French dip sandwich. It is one of her famous recipes and it is absolutely amazing! The warm, crusty bread, thin cut meat, and gooey cheese slathered with …

Okay. I need you take a minute and watch this video. Literally—it’s 97 seconds long. I’ll wait. Oh, and make sure you have sound on. So. I have some thoughts.

“Why do you still let your 7 month old nurse?” “She’s too old.” “She’s just using you as a pacifier.” “You need to put her in her own bed.” *Sigh* Why is this still happening? Why are people still under the impression that they have any right to tell you what to do with your …
