Don't knock 'til you try it! I've been ranting up a storm, so I thought you guys might enjoy a break from my mopey, depressed gripe-fests. Let's talk food. In a desperate attempt to bring a little autumn into my life (have I mentioned that it's been 800 degrees and 1000% humidity in my neck … Continue reading Lentil Kale Soup – Sounds Meh, Tastes PHENOMENAL

Matcha Latte Review
I'll start with a brief review of the recipe for Matcha Orange Cardamon Latte: I was not a fan, as Piers often says when he doesn't like something. Still, I feel obliged to offer my dear readers a caveat. Shockers, but I didn't follow the recipe to a tee, so I'll have to give it … Continue reading Matcha Latte Review
Turmeric Smoothie
It's been awhile since I've blogged. Lots going on around here, but overall I'm feeling better. The Strattera must be working. I plan to write more soon, but I ran across this recipe and decided to post here, so I'll actually follow through and make it so I can write about it. In the meantime, … Continue reading Turmeric Smoothie

Mornings feel like war, and … Continue reading Balancing Mama-Care with Other-Care — Part 1
Summer Update
Summer has been busy! I've been doing better living in the moment than recording it, which seems to be a bit of a problem for me as a writer. I'm also adjusting to being with my children ALL day. I didn't think I had much time when they were in preschool for three hours, but … Continue reading Summer Update
Strattera Update
Day 21 and beyond: 60mg, taken in the morning -- on average, around 9am. This will be my last medication update for a while. I found it a little difficult and personally unhelpful to post every day. Plus, it was just a tough commitment to keep with everything else going on. However, I'm very interested … Continue reading Strattera Update
