Now that my children have been in camp for one full week, I feel like I have a good idea of what is working for them as far as amount of food and snacks I am sending. I really dislike prepping lunches for school and camp but I realized the deconstructed approach I have taken …
I am embarrassed to say that Wildfork has been in my neighborhood for a little while now and I had not gone in until very recently. I blame this on my obsession with buying meat at Costco but I think will have to re-visit this strategy! The first thing I want to say is that …
I am finally starting to feel like the warmth is here to stay and in hopes that this is true, I am writing a very summery blog post. Avocados are now selling at $1 per fruit near me and that usually is the signal that they are in season since they can sell anywhere from …

Whether you are an extrovert who is constantly making new amazing friends or an introvert who has kept the same close small group since you were a child, I highly recommend taking …
I did not want to let February end without doing my usual blog post featuring an amazing Black female physician. Thank you 2024 for being a leap year and giving me an extra day!
