I’ve been meaning to put this post together for some time now, and quite frankly my original goal was to get it up as a “back to school” post, but better late than never is my motto. We’ve now been living with my in-laws for close to 5 months, and packing these daily lunches for […]
Over the weekend, my dad told me that he had been diagnosed with pre-type 2 diabetes. As a preventative measure, his doctor was sending him to a nutrition class to help him take control of his health and take the necessary steps through diet, to help him lower his sugar levels. My brother’s reaction was, […]
My friend Miranda likes to say it all started with the placenta pills. Having for years been wound tight type A, with a penchant for organization, the birth of Hayden, and the resulting encapsulation of my placenta, led me down the path of free-spirit semi-hippie wannabe.

My first post in my first attempt at the 31 Days series, and I’ve already made a blunder, or two. I’m starting this a day late, and I’m making the promise to make the series affordable. Let me see if I can correct and clarify myself. I’ve been writing for someone else, and receiving compensation […]
