Rules I Live By & Low Carb Bagels
Throughout our lives, we’ve been given a hefty dose of advice and “words of wisdom” from our friends, family and anyone else who just feels like they should chime in and I have to admit, I’ve been one of those people. I mean, who hasn’t? Some of the advice is good but some of it…
World MS Day
I’ve been MIA the past 3 weeks because I have been dealing with a very painful relapse of my MS, but thanks to some heavy duty steroids and some much needed rest and relaxation, I am slowly recovering, and it seems fitting that I am back at it today. So today, in honor of World…

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…
Things that get my goat, drive me nuts, irritate me, grinds my gears!
eas•y•go•ing adj. Not easily worried or angered; relaxed and rather casual; calm. Unhurried. I consider myself mainly easy going and there’s not much that will make me lose my cool – ok, maybe that’s not really true, at least I was, up until a year or so ago. So, before I get this off my…
Traveling with a Chronic Illness
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…
