All Things Home and Garden with Scrumptious Wicks

For myself and millions others, the past couple weeks have been a roller coaster of emotions. Things were changing so rapidly and I was in a panic just like everyone else. However, now that I have somewhat settled into a new routine, I've found that one thing remains clear: taking care of myself is just as important as taking care of my family in these unprecedented times. I like to use the oxygen mask example; remember all those in-flight instructional videos? (I know... seems like eons ago that we were traveling via plane...) They always depict a parent putting their...

And what I often do is draw inspiration from my own childhood memories.  I was born and raised in the US, but as a kid, my mom would make it a point to take me to Mumbai, India every 2 years.
