I am Nana to four grandbabies and a serious baker of gingerbread. Nothing delights me more than to share their joy at rolling, cutting, baking, frosting, and nibbling. The sounds and smells of home are deeply ingrained from my parents' Southern, extremely hospitable DNA. This, along with a gift of gab, is my rationale for being a qualitative researcher. There just aren't enough words in the day so let's capture as many as we can and make sense of them.
