When I was little, I used to suffer from frequent ear infections. I have vague memories of lying on the couch watching little bits of the Sound of Music or Anne of Green Gables while in extreme pain. They went away after age 8 or so, but I still get one every few years, and the pain is still so ... Read More »
So I first shared this with you about 5 years ago when I discovered it, and I have been using it every day since, so I figured it was worth a second post.

As we recently passed another International Women’s Day, I’ve been reminded about the importance of seeing women in media, literature, and politics. It’s something that I don’t always think about, being in a family with four boys, but it is still such an important topic. Women have come such a long ways, but there is still so much further to ...

I have been hearing more and more about the dangerous long-term effects of plastic in our world. We are so quick to buy plastic, use it, and throw it out, without a second thought. But that plastic never really goes away. It will never completely break down. And if we don’t each make a conscious effort to reduce our individual ... Read More »
As women, we have a lot of places to look for inspiration. Our mothers, grandmothers, daughters, and great women in history.
