If I had to dream up the perfect day it would include sun and sand and a fruity drink and a book to read or maybe a warm cottage with a fire and wine and a book to read or even just a few hours in a coffee shop with a latte and a book […]
Could I be a throat puncher?
While at Blogher this summer I had the chance to meet all kinds of bloggers who I had chatted with online for years. I also had the chance to chat with bloggers in person who I had never talked to via the internet. I met one such blogger and the beginning of our conversation went […]
My favorite gluten free foods
I’ve been gluten free for at least five years now. I’d love to say that I’ve adjusted and don’t miss a good loaf of bread. But realistically I’d still hug a hot pretzel if my stomach wouldn’t feel the effects of it for a week. I miss all kinds of carb-filled foods but over time […]

Crazy Bus
It seems all members of my household are on some sort of never ending Crazybus ride. Let me give you a few “heard around our house this week” quotes to illustrate: Setting 1: Changing Sawyer on main floor, the Crazies are upstairs and quiet. Me- Guys… what are you doing? (If you don’t know it […]
A Hugging Confession
I am not a hugger. I believe this is one reason why I am somewhat addicted to blogging and can easily pour my heart out with every tippity-tap of a key. I can handle a virtual hug. I can vent about the ugliness of grief or the insanity of day-to-day life and take in each […]
