I'm excited to start a new series called "Surviving Snowy Days". I think it speaks for itself but let me explain a little bit. I was raised in Northwest Indiana. To say the least I am so used to the snow. My senior year I actually had to go to school after commencement to make up the amount of days we missed that winter. I'm am used to snow days. Fast forward to 8 years later to me being a stay at View Post
Our Family Ritual: Guess what? I love you.
The conversation goes like this... Me to my first born: "Guess what?" My first born: "You love me." Me: "I love you." The words are simple. The conversation is short. Nothing profound comes from our mouths. Or does it? When did this family ritual begin exactly? How did it start? What does it mean? Not just the words, but the meaning behind the words. Where they came from... View Post
Homemade Pancakes Recipe With Cream Of Wheat
When I went away to college I would dream about all of the delicious foods I was missing out at home. When I came home for a visit I'd try to get as many home cooked meals in as I could!

Each time I try a new recipe I think, will I make this for years or is it a one View Post
Kansas City LEGOLAND And Sea Life Education Time
Ever since we went to the land of LEGO (clear back in April) we have heard about it nonstop from the 6 year old. I believe that the "when" questions began about a week after we got back home.

When are we going to View Post
Spreading The Flu… I Mean Birthday Cheer.
In my opinion the Prince song should have been titled "5", because that's the number in my family. "All 5 and we'll watch them fall." We've all slowly fallen to the dreaded influenza. No positive flu test needs to tell me what we have. We have it. The flu. I keep telling myself that it could be so much worse. All 5 of us were vaccinated against the flu a few months back and despite that View Post
The Smile Of A Melanoma Fighter
When you search "images of melanoma" you will find so many scary pictures. You'll see slide shows. Charts showing how to identify what is and what isn't. You'll see what I saw in community health classes in college. The ABC's of Melanoma. Textbook images. Painful images. The images of scars. So MANY scars. Images of the progression when left untreated. What going undiagnosed looks like. View Post
