We just returned from a glorious trip around California. It started with my son and I in Northern CA where we visited my folks for a couple weeks, we then took the train down the coast of CA to the Santa Barbara area to visit my husband’s family. We took planes, trains and automobiles and… Continue reading The Harshest “Welcome Back” We’ve Ever Gotten

On Peyton Manning’s Retirement
I know I'm a few weeks late to the game posting this. I've had a major bout of writers block lately (which is just fantastic when you make a living writing). That seems to be lifting and I need to get these thoughts about Manning's retirement out there. First of all, I think I need… Continue reading On Peyton Manning’s Retirement

What I Can Eat!!
For Christmas this year my amazing in-laws wanted to bless me with a few days off from cooking. They weren't quite sure what I actually could eat so they asked me to email them a list.

Big changes coming (or maybe they’re super tiny???)
Those of you who have been around my blog for a while know that we've been working on getting out of debt for a while now. Unfortunately moving to the city we now live has been a hit.

My AIP Thanksgiving Meal Plan! (including leftover plans)
I have been on AIP for 5 months now and am seeing lots of great progress and healing. A couple months ago I began working with a nutritional therapist who has helped immensely.

Don’t Say His Name…
Every time there is a tragedy like the loss of life that occurred yesterday, I see my Facebook page light up with people asking the media to please not say "their" name. While I agree wholeheartedly that this is a horrible way to earn your 15 minutes of fame, and the media gives way too… Continue reading Don’t Say His Name…
