On the fourth Thursday of November, families all over the U.S. will celebrate Thanksgiving. This typically means a big meal featuring a large bird, several carb filled sides, and a sweet treat to top it all of. Thanksgiving in...
I've determined over the past decade that it's a good thing I paid attention in math class all those years growing up. I use a lot of math doing sometimes complicated calculations on an almost daily basis. “Do you work in a...
The gift giving season is upon us! The time for ridiculous amounts of wrapping paper, holiday cards, food, and of course gifts! Along with it comes the stress of figuring out what you want to give and what you...
Food is a connector for me. Coming from a large family, get-together's almost always equal food, and I can't say that I'm mad about it. In my family Thanksgiving is the epicenter of good eats. Turkey, Cornbread dressing, Buttered...

When our little guy was five months, I felt ready for him to start solids. I had read all the books, done a mommy-and-me playdate to prepare a variety of purees, and knew that he had all the obvious...
To my wonderful husband,
You're lying in bed asleep and I can't stop crying. You are in the military and have been called to action and will be leaving us soon. While I have known about this for quite some...
When I was six, I convinced my little brother to join my club. For his contribution of nine dollars, he could be vice-president, while I was president, secretary, and treasurer. Even though I only contributed a dollar myself, as...
