Kjirsti & Tom

Within the last week my feelings of love for my son have grown immensely. I know words cannot describe the intensity of emotion I feel, but for his sake I want to try. I’ve often gawked at the phrase pregnancy ” glow.” How can I glow each morning when I’m frustratedly trying to cover up…

So, I feel a little silly even admitting this, but with encouragement from so many of you, I think I am going to submit some of my comics to see if I can get them published. Deseret Book has a pretty easy process: I just send them in and wait to see what they say.…
