My son does competition trampoline and tumbling and is at the gym still late everyday during the week if he's not working out he coaching. He does not drive so I need ideas of things that are fast to cook. I use my crock pot a lot and this weekend it stopped working. W...
So those of you who have read my previous posts know that our adult daughter is medically disabled, receives SSI, cannot work or attend school. She is not cognitively or intellectually disabled, nor is she mobility-impaired. She has multiple medical diagnoses and s...
I recently published my first chapter book for children, A Girl’s Dream to Play Little League Baseball with Boys The themes of my memoir are grit, persistence, and tenacity in achieving your goals despite the boos, jeers, and name calling that can happen to you on your life’s journey.

So, I have suffered anxiety my entire life. I think I was born scared. Lol. I never knew what it was. But when I gave birth I got hit with insane panic attacks one after another. Unable to eat sleep anything. I literally thought I had lost my mind. I was put on Paxil. On...

Have any of you moms of older kids had teenagers whose food choices were extreme or limited? I've never been one to make food a battle ground in my house. My kids for the most part have different palates and cycle through preferences like everyone does, but we make it wo...
