I sat at the decorated table, adorned with colorful table cloth, themed centerpiece, cute paper plates with finger foods in various stages of nibbles, and MOPs (Mothers Of Preschoolers) literature for that month's meeting listening to the conversations of the other moms. I did not fit in. We were going to a church that was… Continue reading Thrive
First of all, it's not an egg. It's more rectangle in shape. Second of all, this is really not even a recipe ... more of a suggestion for how to put two delicious things together to make one incredibly delicious thing that you don't have to feel bad about eating while the rest of your… Continue reading Clean (paleo/Whole30ish) Reese’s Egg

About a week ago, I told you all that for my next trick, I would be drinking apple cider vinegar to my daily routine. I did some research and decided to drink 1 tablespoon per 8 ounce glass of water at least once a day. I anticipated it to be miserable, but that I could survive… Continue reading Apple Cider Vinegar UPDATE!
I've written about my two major MS attacks (here and here), but I thought I would write what a typical "good day" is like for me living with MS. I would say roughly 90% of my days are good... the bad come few and far between and my bad days are nothing compared to most...… Continue reading A (good) day in the life
