Kind Words from Jennifer H. Yates

How we met... Friend-of-a-friend introductions are the best! That's how I met Jennifer H. Yates, and I've been learning from her ever since.

How To Be Thankful With Your Neighbors

I got greedy at Thanksgiving. Not just for juicy slices of turkey and heaping piles of mashed potatoes, or my special cranberry salad - no, I'm ashamed to admit, I got greedy for my family.
