If you asked me what my favorite comfort food is I wouldn’t even have to give it a second thought – a grilled cheese sandwich. There is just something so special, and nostalgic, about a grilled sandwich oozing with cheese….
I’m a reasonably healthy person. I eat well. I go to the gym several times a week. I don’t get sick often. I have good skin, good teeth and I’m not overweight. Some of this is a direct result of…
I have a four year old. We do crafts. Every single day. I’m not kidding. Walk into my living room at any given moment and the coffee table is covered in construction paper, pencil crayons, glue, string and glitter. Oh…
I am an adoptee. With red hair. I resemble absolutely nobody in my family. Growing up people were always asking me where my red hair came from. If they were strangers, which they usually were, I would just shrug and…

Some times it seems that the days go by so quickly that you blink and a year has passed. My little girl is going to be five this year. Five! I’m still struggling to wrap my head around that fact….
Just before Christmas we had a potluck lunch at work like we do every year. Last year I thought I would be different and make fresh rolls because who brings fresh rolls to an office potluck? Well I do and…
