To which I say, "I'm looking in pantry, but I don't see them." Despite the fact that this little act happens often, Amy patiently comes to the pantry, glances in and… Continue

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.
