Three months ago, in order to support my Viking on his diet I started making food changes myself. Every single time I’ve done this in the past of done something involving constant monitoring of what I ate and how much I was exercising which always spun into my life being controlled by this spiraling obsession …

Again with the Reflections on my Birthday
The first and only earthquake I ever felt was on my thirtieth birthday. It was a pretty clear signal my thirties were going to be fascinating. My thirty-first birthday was the first time my parents met the Viking, and I fell even more deeply in love with the man. I already knew he was my …

Merry Imperfect Christmas

My sister hosts the family get together because she and my bro-in-law are amazing, and they breed incredible children, but there are still things my parents and I do.
