If you’re a parent of 2 or more children, I am guessing that at least one of your children has allergies. Or asthma? Your kids have asthma, don’t they? Or at least, you know someone (or a lot of people) whose kids have allergies. I’m right, right? 🙂 I was dining out with 2 of … Read more
I am picky about where I buy my meat. Honestly, I do buy some meat at the grocery store, but only grass fed stuff from the local stores that I can trust. I never buy meat from the large chain stores. My ideal is to buy it from farms only. Or, even more ideally, someday, we’ll produce it … Read more
Around the holidays, I had to buy some store bought eggs so that we had enough to do some Christmas baking. I buy “cage free” eggs when I have to buy them at the store. That doesn’t mean anything, though. Neither does “free range.” So what. They have a 1 foot by 1 foot space … Read more

This meal doesn’t look very pretty, but it was very, very good. We have a hook over our fireplace for cooking with a cast iron pot. It swings out, and so the pot really sits kind of beside the fire rather than right over it, but it works well.
I ate these today, yesterday; and I plan to eat them tomorrow, too! I really like these. 🙂
I’ve written lots of encouragement 🙂 here for staying on the GAPS diet and doing everything “just right” (I’m a first born–a rule follower–a perfectionist). Today, I’m writing about how to let the perfection go when you can’t do everything “just right.” This is our second night with 4 precious new children in our home. … Read more
I am in love. Ok, first with my God, second with my husband, third with my kids, but fourth? Fourth with these lovely chocolates. 🙂 Have I mentioned that I love chocolate? And that we went 9 months or so on GAPS with NO chocolate because we thought we couldn’t have it on the diet?
