Somebody stop me, please... ... next time I attempt to pack so many things into May-September... Please? Anyone? Just smack me and say STOP. ;) Summertime + gardening + finishing up cookbook edits + getting the new blog design ready (pssst! Do ya like it?) + launching a YouTube channel = Jill might have bit off more than she can chew.

(Please tell me I’m not the only one. Right....?)
