Keeping a tidy home is important to me for many reasons. One of which is that I find it easier to be relaxed in a clean home. Keeping our home tidy and in a constant state of “picked up” allows me more time to work on projects, time to focus on hobbies, and time to […]

At 30 weeks doctors become concerned over something found in the ultrasound. This condition could have lead to a blood clot in our daughters lungs and as such, we were set to be induced early. We went in Sunday evening at 36 weeks with high hopes and, what we thought at the time were, realistic […]

One of my absolute favorite meals of all time is Pot Pie. My husband loves chicken pot pie, and I’ll take any kind you give me as long as it’s a pie. The current state of the world has been turned on its head, and our notion of normal is changing. Thanks to the Covid-19 […]

Getting worse at 18-19. My first lesion was found in an MRI brain scan at 17. I was diagnosed just after my 22nd birthday. My neurologist decided to wait until after my birthday to share the news.
