I’m 37, single, and it’s all my mom’s fault! She’s made my life a living nightmare. I was tired of her overbearing “care,” but the worst part? She ruined every single relationship I ever had. None of the guys were “good enough” for her. Then, Theo came into my life. I knew he was the…
Baking is my passion, and I often make cakes for family, sharing tips on my small Instagram account. I don’t usually ask for money, but I do accept small gestures of appreciation in return.
