A wild life is worth living.
Admire your food before you eat it Holiday biscotti for the kids' teachers Summers in Houston were spent lounging in Grandma's pool and learning to cook in her kitchen. Living overseas, Grandma and Grandpa's ranch style house in Houston was home base, where we'd go for vacation and family time before heading home to Hong... Continue Reading →
Before I had kids, I worked in a bank doing customer service and sales. It was awful and I had a terrible flare that medication couldn't fix and ended up on disability leave, until eventually quitting when my leave ran out. I spent several years in college as a hostess, and about six months folding... Continue Reading →
A lot of people are getting ready to receive a nice check from the federal government to offset the hardship they are experiencing because of the pandemic. For some its a bonus, because they are essential and haven't lost their jobs. For others it's a bandaid on punctured hull, and it won't cover the month's... Continue Reading →

My husband and I chose to have children, and may someday choose to have even more children. We make sacrifices so I don't have to hold a job outside... Continue Reading →
Last weekend I got in a fight and ended up in the emergency room. The fight was not, as you might assume, with some bitches in a bar who didn't know their role. I had a fight with my guts and it seems I lost. I am recovering now, and managed to avoid surgery by... Continue Reading →
I have been thinking about all those articles that have been popping up the last few years listing things it's horrible to say to someone with a disease/grieving/without kids/with kids/single/allergic to strawberries, etc. The one I read years ago called "What Not To Say to Crohn's Patients" was great, because a lot of people are...
