My latest adventure was in the hills of North Carolina. Jason found an event to take our MX5 called Miatas at the Gap. We’ve had the car for almost two years and it’s been fun driving it around Ohio and on road trips. This weekend, however, was unbelievable! Flying down the twisting winding roads of […]

I was hanging out with the women-folk in my family the other day when my sister commented on the fingerless gloves my aunt was wearing. The ones my aunt had were made from old wool sweaters that had been cut into strips and sewn together with a soft fleece lining. They were funky and totally […]

Last night, we were eating at a local restaurant when a magician came around to our table. The restaurant was loud and I think Lily had some trouble hearing what he was saying. She was playing shy and not really sure what to make of him. He asked her name and age and started through […]

Yesterday was a fantastic day. Not in the way that most would consider great. Old wounds torn open; emotions I haven’t experienced in a while came roaring to the surface.

I’m in this weird post-vacation place. You know, that place where you still feel really good and relaxed; you’re happy; you’re not stressing about what your schedule looks like. Yet, I’m up early, waking up kids, packing lunches, driving through the school drop-off line, and taking myself to work. This morning, as I walked through […]

Scars, we all have them – Physical, Emotional, Mental. Whether we can see them or not, they are there. They are part of who we are. They help shape our personality and our soul. Many of us spend years trying to fix or hide the damage that scars have created. I have many scars, but […]

Having an autoimmune disorder makes it nearly impossible to go out for Chinese. No MSG, no soy, no gluten – and not grains for that matter – no point!  I’ve been through a ton of recipes for various AIP stir fries and have finally come up with one that is my favorite. I typically use […]
