“To the rational mind, nothing is inexplicable, only unexplained.” Something very strange happened to me a couple of weeks ago and I can’t for the life of me figure it out.

If the Crown Fits – Tracking my Family Lineage

Our Favorite Vacation & Huli Huli Chicken
The other day I made something to die for – Huli Huli Chicken. This dish brought me right back to our favorite family vacation and today, I’m going to share it with you! I have mentioned it in a previous post (Deal with the Big Guy), so I won’t go into all the details, but…

Let me start with saying this: I am very open about my MS. I understand and respect those who keep their struggle with Multiple Sclerosis to themselves, however, I find that its therapeutic for me to share my story. I am writing about it with the hopes that I can shed some light on this…
