The articles I reference are the numbers of children going…
Create Every Day. May Calendar and activities Roundup “The world’s favorite season is the spring. All things seem possible in May.” ~ Edwin Way Teal If you go by the old saying “April showers bring may flowers” there should be flowers blooming all over the yard. April was a pretty wet month. I began to think were going to have to build an ark like Noah. Maybe that is why for some reason the ships radio call “May Day May Day” keeps popping into my head whenever I start typing about May first. I do wish I had taught my…

Hold On for One More Day There were moments when the darkness felt heavier than hope.When breathing through the day felt like an act of courage.In those times, one song whispered what Laurie needed to hear: Hold on for one more day.

A gluten free bread review for you When I first became diagnosed with #Celiac I posted about trouble finding hot dog and hamburger buns to replace the ones I was used to. You can find that post here.

Good day, Turmeric On Valentines Day, I was out and about running errands and stumbled upon a yummy supplement. There were 8 candies in there, about the size of a peanut M&M. They were a tasty way to get a turmeric supplement. I was really surprised at how good they tasted. Do you use turmeric for a dietary supplement? These were gluten-free so they were safe for me to eat and I don’t regret one bite of that candy-coated supplement. Are you a tea-drinker? I have been drinking more tea and less coffee lately. Here are a few…
A Quick mention: 5 of my favorite products I had a coupon given to me. I thought it was buy one get one for Pearls olives. When I looked at it closer it was for one free. No buying one needed. I looked at the choices and since I have been trying to incorporate more garlic in my diet I opted for the Pearls specialties garlic stuffed queen olives. I found them so good. Better than I had expected. Perfect combination in just one stuffed olive. I expected them to be overpowering but they were the perfect balance. If…
