Climate change…global warming…ice age…whatever you want to call it, it is the hot topic in the news right now. Spearheading the charge to combat climate change is a Nordic teenager who apparently sailed across the Atlantic in her bid to avoid heating the Earth anymore. Last week, thousands of teenagers, and younger children, walked out…

Friday I was talking about unfinished business, and how I realized that I was restless due to the fact that I had several outstanding projects, as so some others in my home. Step one for any problem is identifying that you have a problem, and my realization was huge. It was like a huge weight…

I have been feeling restless lately, and this morning I realised that it is due to several unfinished projects laying around.

These are the first two recipes I learned by heart, and the first two I was allowed to make unsupervised! That’s all for today…Little…

A good friend of mine sent me this article today, and I have to say, the author does such a great job articulating why it is that my family prepares for an unknown event. He uses math (MATH! I know!!!) to explain why preppers, specifically the gun preppers, are right for what they are doing.…

One of the fears Squatch and I have for Little Man is that he will fall down a set of stairs. Squatch’s parents have a set of stairs going to the basement that Little Man has been focused on since we got here at the beginning of the month. We brought our dinky little gate…

18 years later and it feels like yesterday. Walking into AP French, and hearing that a plane hit the World Trade Center in New York City. CNN’s website crashing. Hearing “Taliban” and “Osama bin Laden” for the first time and not knowing what they meant, just that it was bad. Hearing the Pentagon was hit,…
