Donating Pre-Loved Stuffed Animals

A stuffed animal menagerie lives in my daughter's room. Animals of all species and shapes which are lovingly jammed inside a wooden trunk at the end of her bed. Stuffed animals carry such significance for children - each with its own story and memory. There's the sad looking dog she won at a boardwalk game at the beach. There's the manatee her Miami-residing aunt sent her for a birthday present to remind her of Florida. There's the first animal her dad got her on the day she was born.

Alma's Chipotle Corn Salad

'Tis the season to eat corn but I, for one, like to cut mine off the cob because of some unpleasant memories involving corn and having braces at age thirteen.
