From Jennifer White:
I tend to write about topics that reflect my passions - women and children's interests, nutrition, breastfeeding advocacy, Christian studies, and genealogy. However, I have been known to delve into other topics that strike my fancy as well. In my (somewhat limited) spare time, I might be found tromping through cemeteries pulling my children along in a Radio Flyer Wagon. I volunteers my services as a cemetery transcriptionist and photographer as I seek to preserve histories of common everyday people.
