This is the start of a blog series on traveling with accessibility issues. Let me start with lessons I learned with 4 different lodgings during… Continue reading Travel Tips part 1
Yummly Free App Review
(5/5 Gladiator shields) I recently needed to figure out what dinner I could make from what I already had in my kitchen. The dinner needed to appeal to everyone. I was drawing a blank. So, I downloaded several free recipe apps and ran them against a few searches and compared them to Google. The Yummly… Continue reading Yummly Free App Review
Not a Morning Person
I am not a morning person. I don't jump out of bed ready to join a party. I need to ease into the day. However, I have learned to embrace the early morning moments. When I had little kids I found my me time was when they were asleep - naps, bedtime, early mornings. Naps… Continue reading Not a Morning Person
My MS Story
I know I have tried to tell this before. I feel this is one story I will periodically need to retell in order to gain perspective and growth. Why again now? Today a picture came up in my FB feed from the beginning. Not the beginning of my MS, but the beginning of the back… Continue reading My MS Story

April Fools and Humor
Happy April Fools! Did you catch anyone? Did you add a little humor and fun? I was raised in a household that teased each other. Sometimes a member would go too far. I think we all know someone that can be counted on to go too far. The balance of staying just short of the… Continue reading April Fools and Humor
What can I make from my pantry?
In normal times I am used to doing grocery shopping about twice a week. I slipped into this frequency when my twins were young and I was so sleep deprived I would forget key items; family members would randomly devour key items; and I also shopped for my Dad. I can already hear you say… Continue reading What can I make from my pantry?
Cat, Snow, and Diet
Our cat "Tiny" has amped up his attempts of getting me out of bed earlier. As a non morning person, I feel it is now time to tell one of his weight stories. As I have told you earlier, Tiny has an ongoing weight reduction program. This is a story about a time he understood… Continue reading Cat, Snow, and Diet
