Being brave for a friend who suffers the loss of a child, either through miscarriage or a stillbirth is holy work. How, though? How can we possibly help when we shy away from talking about this stomach-churning topic? As women, we are known for our love of discussing all the things. Yet, when the words …
Cancer. I profoundly hate that six letter word. It conjures fear, loss and uncertainty. There’s not one nice thing I can say about it. It devours monetary resources. It mocks future dreams and plans. It steals understanding of what the hell is happening to my body?! As of this writing, I am two-years and a …
I love making pork tenderloin because it’s so stinkin’ easy. Plus, all that tender, juicy, yumminess. Most of the time, I rub a bit of oil on it and either Garry smokes it on the pit or I slide it in the oven, but this time I wanted a little something different. Looky: Oh, momma…what …

My history of searching for relief: I’ve used lacrosse balls for relief (love me some lacrosse balls). I’ve used chair cushions for relief (I sit a large portion of the day). I’ve tried using a weirdo ball chair. …
Did y’all know that we homeschooled Boy, K-12 – back when homeschooling was quasi-illegal in Texas? REBELS! The understanding of the law surrounding homeschoolers was so precarious (we schooled during the years the deciding case was being argued before the Texas Supreme Court) that I carried the name and number of our lawyer everywhere we …
These drool-worthy oatmeal cookies are made exclusively with coconut palm sugar, which is touted as having a lower glycemic index than white sugar. Looky: Oh, momma! I figured if it has a better glycemic index, lower than white sugar (there’s controversy whether that is true or not), that’s a plus. It does have some nutrients …
