In case you have been living under a rock, the newest buzz in the health field is the microbiome. Your gut is home to trillions of microorganisms including bacteria, yeasts, and other things that are far beyond my comprehension. Collectively your Gut microbiome is nothing short of a microbial metropolis. Like any good city, it… Continue reading VARIETY matters.
If Cinderella had a wicked stepsister today, it wouldn’t be a person…it would be forever chemicals. Also known as PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), these compounds were designed to make life easier: stain-proof couches, nonstick pans, waterproof jackets. I mean as a mom who washes the slip covers, cooks and cleans pans, and does laundry… Continue reading Forever Chemicals…The Party Crasher That Never Leaves

We ventured out for our annual walk with close friends… Continue reading Osage Oranges

I just had a “milestone” birthday, although I am sticking to the story of Forever 21. My dad says the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and I am… Continue reading Party Time!
If not living under a rock, everyone knows it is sacrilegious to not put pumpkins on everything in October. So that is what I do, and that is ALL I do in October. I love October because it is my birthday, but the Grinch is to Christmas as I am to Halloween. So I do… Continue reading October Mantel
Eye candy, little bunnies, and hot chicks make me happy in the Spring. This has no relevance to Playboy bunnies. Not that kind of eye candy or chick. This kind… Let me be clear here, these bunnies are for decorating only. Unless they are from a trusted source, these cute little bunnies are LOADED… Continue reading Eye Candy, Bunnies, and Hot Chicks
A few people have reached out on how I care for orchids. I feel like this post is long overdue in response, considering it is not very complicated. I counted on the phone with my dear friend asking this question the other day…I have 27 orchids. 19 of them are flowering. By “flowering” I mean… Continue reading Easy Orchid Care for All
