Growing up, we always had canned chicken noodle soup on hand. While I still do enjoy that soup, especially when I’m not feeling well, I love my Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup way more! Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I wanna say it’s...

I remember the moment I found out I was pregnant with my first baby (and each one after that as well)! I was excited, scared and had no idea what the future would hold for me. I had no idea I would love someone or want to protect them as much as I did....
