Well, we are 2 days away from a brand-new baby entering our family. Our oldest daughter is set to deliver by cesarean on Wednesday and I can’t help but be so excited and anxious about his arrival (that’s right, it’s a boy)! I’m not anxious in a nervous way, I am anxious in a “I…

Up, Up and Away!
I have spent the last week packing and unpacking my suitcase for a girls trip to Mexico. I’m sure I have twice as many clothes as I need, but at least I won’t have to go naked. I can’t tell you how excited I am for this trip with friends that I have known for over 40 years…..you…
Good or Not Good – that is the question & Garden Fresh Salsa

Life is Short
You never know when it is your time, but it sure doesn’t seem fair when someone is taken away far too early. You feel like you just aren’t finished with that person, there is so much left to do, to explore, times that you still need to laugh and cry with them. You question why? …

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…
Happy Anniversary

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…
It’s a New Year! Celebrate with this Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Bowl
Ahhh, another successful holiday season has come and gone! Now just to get things back to normal – whatever normal means. I love Christmas – decorating with all the twinkly lights, wrapping gifts that we choose so carefully for Christmas, baking yummy treats for the family gatherings, playing games, listening to Christmas music – all…
