                                G'Mourning. We've got a piping hot cup or information at the breakfast nook this morning. Today's episode is the second part to a tough conversation we had a few Mondays ago. Death can be hard to talk about, and it is inevitable. We chatted about the things you want to have ready for everyone else when you die... but now Brenna brings a list of things you want to consider in case someone else dies.

                                    Good Mournin'. Nicole brings a tale from Salt Lake City to the breakfast nook today. A story that hits a little close to home. This entire situation is nuts and shows what happens when you get away with too much for too long.

                                        Good Mourning, Beans. What kind of brew are you sipping on today? Something delicious we hope. This MoMuMonday is started around the breakfast nook with Royal coffee, and the tale of a teen that fell in love with a married man. Oh- don't get it twisted... he wasn't innocent either.
