Life In Pleasantville
Food, Travel, Life
Not a lot leaves me stumbling for an answer with my children. They’ve asked me some pretty uncomfortable things so far and even though on the inside I’m squirming, on the outside I’m the picture of cool, calm, composed mom. Until the other night that is.

Something you should know about me is that I’m a pie girl. Pie over cake any day. However, I am clearly outnumbered in my family as the only other pie aficionado is my youngest daughter. I do love my family very much though, so I bake them cakes, because no matter how hard I try …
