Jennifer Grisdale Krieger’s What? No Spaghetti & Meatballs?!? isn’t just a collection of family anecdotes it’s a celebration of storytelling itself. Her work reminds us that every family, no matter how “ordinary,” has stories worth sharing.

Too often, we think our everyday experiences are too small or too messy to matter. Jennifer shows us that these very moments burned dinners, mispronounced words, unexpected laughter are what weave the fabric of family history.

Storytelling isn’t about perfection; it’s about connection. By capturing these memories, Jennifer preserves a rich, vibrant portrait of life in a culturally diverse family and invites readers to do the same in their own lives.

Whether you write them down, share them around the dinner table, or simply hold them close, your family’s stories are treasures. Jennifer’s book is the perfect inspiration to start cherishing and sharing yours.

After reading Jennifer’s musings, you might just be inspired to pick up a pen (or a phone) and capture your own beautiful, messy, unforgettable family moments.

In sharing our stories, we not only preserve our own family histories we invite others into the messy, marvelous journey of life, one heartfelt moment at a time.
