Chocolate Milk!!!
Chocolate Milk is my supreme comfort food, and I think it goes back to my days with Grandmom as a little girl. Whenever I was sick she would make me chocolate milk... once I remember her bringing some with her in her "pocketbook".
I can still clearly remember her explaining the process of chocolate milk to me, "the more chocolate, the better, honey". To this day I love treating myself to chocolate milk. Especially when I miss her. --Sarah

Getting Started
Okay so here's our shared blog to preserve our family memories and stories. Where to start?
1. POST - When you log in, you'll see an orange button that shows a pencil or the words "New Post". If you click it, you can start typing and blogging!
2. LABELS - in the right margin is a button that says "Labels"-- this can be used to organize posts. If it's about Grandmom, tag "Grandmom" or "Mommy" or "Emma", etc. If it's about World War 2, enter that label.
3. COMMENTS - You can comment on posts others have written to add your experiences to the story. You can also just open the post and change it if you want to.
4. PICTURES - Can be added by clicking on the little "mountain scene" in the top bar above the box. :)
I have no attachment to this blog or what we post, or how often we post, or anything! There are no rules here. If you change something, awesome! I think this will just be a fun ongoing project for us to collaborate and reminisce :)
I love you!
