Mealtime Organization

OK, I have a lot of time on my hands. But this IS SO worth it. I saw the idea on Pinterest and have been dying to try.  Mealtime is a big deal around here. We're primarily gluten free, GMO free, low dairy, high protein (blood sugar issues) and NO SUGAR. So mealtime planning with… Continue reading Mealtime Organization

Color Therapy

Do you ever notice that color makes your heart jump? It does for me anyway. It can make you feel all warm, cozy, loving, or sad, empty, dark. There is actually such a thing as color therapy, and you'd better believe the best Advertisers in the world are intimately familiar with our reactions to certain… Continue reading Color Therapy

to Vaccinate, or not? yes, I’m going there.

OK, here's deal. I've been asked this question a lot lately. Mostly young mom's that want to do the right thing and are confused by the media, the controversy, their parents opinions, and their heart. SO here we go. THIS IS YOUR DECISION. This is a BIG decision. Don't let anyone guilt you, or make… Continue reading to Vaccinate, or not? yes, I’m going there.

Overwhelming Joy and Gratitude

Sometimes you need to slow down and give your self a reality check. Be grateful for the simple abundances of life, the things that go right, the simple joys.  I am so grateful that: I have had my last needle in the spine for the week. Yay! a friend I have only met once offered to… Continue reading Overwhelming Joy and Gratitude

Sunshine is the best medicine

It's kind of funny really. Although my mobility has been reduced to lying flat, (as in, no pillow flat) and my recovering brain only allows short spurts of thinking before a headache slows me down, I still make time for my rituals. I wake each morning, and the cool thing is, I've never had time… Continue reading Sunshine is the best medicine

CSF Leak, Bedrest and Grays Anatomy

Apparently the jokes on me. How many of you saw it coming? After carefully planning my polka dot drawers, I mustered up all of my self confidence, rolled into the Cath Lab, put on my gown... and was delicately informed that "panties must be removed so they can get to my femoral artery (in the… Continue reading CSF Leak, Bedrest and Grays Anatomy

Slowing Downnnn….and panties of the Year

  Well, nothing makes you slow down quite like a head injury. It's like a permanent acid trip (or so I'd imagine). But, it forces me to realize things that I haven't appreciated in a long time. The smell of the grass after it rains - not the quick sniff while getting in the car,… Continue reading Slowing Downnnn….and panties of the Year

Alternative Holistic Concussion Treatment

Ask and you shall receive. Why of course.  Thank you Universe. Shortly after my last post I found out about Bowen Work. A holistic, all natural, massage type approach to concussions.  In fact, I even found a website explaining how pro-soccer teams are now hiring Bowen Work Healers as their results are SO effective in… Continue reading Alternative Holistic Concussion Treatment

Suggestions for Concussion? Carotid? “ask the audience” card in effect

Hello my darlings. I'm stuck and don't know what to do. Sometimes when you don't know what to do, it's time to ask for help. I haven't posted much about the accident as obviously it's still an ongoing case and well... I just have no idea about the "rules" of such things. Plus, I detest… Continue reading Suggestions for Concussion? Carotid? “ask the audience” card in effect

Gluten Free, Potato Free, Preservative Free… Odor Free? Really?

So, we pack a lunch each day for my daughter. It's not easy. Gluten free, (mostly grain free but we do cheat with brown rice on occasion), preservative free, sugar free, nut free (school policy not mine). Plus she has blood sugar issues so has to have PLENTY of protein snacks that keep her going… Continue reading Gluten Free, Potato Free, Preservative Free… Odor Free? Really?
