Mondays I traditionally post a new recipe, but today it’s a recipe for joy; today I offer food for the soul. In the midst of chemo treatments, on a day I was paying and organizing medical bills (yikes!), a note from my dearly departed grandmother literally fell into my lap. It was the calming balm …
I’m an organizer; I love it. Nothing better than a good list and solid plan to follow in order to get things done. Make the list. Do the list. Throw away checked-off completed list. Make new list. What follows contradicts everything I just said. In my busy gal defense, it happens. Not often, but when …

Sweet sweet E, that child does nothing but elicit smiles, squeally voices and happy dances from me. Ah, grandkiddos! About every six months I find myself updating what I’ve learned from that whippersnapper. About every six months I ask myself, too soon? Maybe I should just do a yearly update…BUT I CAN’T! Having an itty-bitty …
More cobbler, y’all! First there was this one, made with blueberries and strawberries. Today, there is peach…PEACH COBBLER! Nommy nom nom. Before we get started, I did use fresh peaches in this cobbler, unlike last time when I used frozen blueberries and strawberries. Fresh or frozen works, but because it’s summer and fruit is a’plenty, …
Being me is exhausting some days, even before breast cancer. Today, I’m fighting nausea and knowing I must try to eat in the face of understanding that when I do, I’ll feel worse. The feeling will pass in a few more days, just not soon enough for me or those around me. So, I’ll pretend …
Y’all know that I can find the funny in anything. Anything. The worse things are, the more I am compelled to laugh. It’s definitely my father’s DNA running through me and I’m grateful for it. Throughout my life, my ill-timed laughter has been misunderstood by a few, but I find it to be a normal …
I first reviewed the Omron Pain Relief Pro in February 2012. This has been a popular post and I thought y’all might like an update. Do I (we…Garry uses it too) still use the Omron? Yes. Am I still happy with the results? Yes. Would I recommend this product as one more tool in your …
Oh, mah babies. THIS. This cobbler came out of my oven smelling of sweet summer fruit and light cakey droolgoodness. I had to remind myself not to take a bite until it had cooled enough so it wouldn’t remove the skin from the roof of my mouth. THE TORTURE! As a good Southern gal, I …
Do you guys remember my Epsom Salt post and my quest to find a natural way to replenish my waning magnesium levels? If so, you’ll fully appreciate why I am loving the Himalayan Pink salt! Himalayan Pink salt is packed with the good stuff. Table salt, not so much. Himalayan salt contains the minerals that …
