A Little Something Sweet's greatest hits + some updates

I like: snow, yellow cake with chocolate frosting, and paper towels. I dislike: fake clinics, raisins. I’m semi-famous for my brownie recipe.
A Little Something Sweet is a newsletter for people who have abortions, like talking about feelings, and crave dessert (yes, there’s a lot of overlap there!).
