Little High, Little Low {The Trials of a Sugar Addict}

Little High, Little Low {The Trials of a Sugar Addict}

The following post is a flashback, written shortly after I was diagnosed with Lyme and put on a restricted diet. Years later,  I’m still on it. I’m still dealing with Lyme. A true addict, I’m still craving the sweet stuff. A few things are essential to my happy survival. They are faith, hope, love and until […]

Smiling Yoga {with Cats}

Smiling Yoga {with Cats}

It’s been 29 days since we began practicing yoga daily at our house. The girls love it. The cats do too. For me, it has been nothing short of astounding. I swear, I’m not exaggerating one little bit. I’ll get to that in a minute… Daily yoga was not a New Year’s Resolution. It started […]

Fashion, Cats and Lyme – The Week in Chaos

Fashion, Cats and Lyme – The Week in Chaos

Let me start by saying…I feel like my mind trapped in a thick fog.  This makes writing in complete sentences a challenge.  I spend a fair amount of my time trying to determine if I’m suffering from a Lyme relapse or if I’m, you know, just getting old. Then I forget from day to day […]

The Night Lyme Disease Broke Me

The Night Lyme Disease Broke Me

My teen is on the couch, computer on her lap, researching Lyme Disease. She’s making a list of alternative therapies, supplements and herbal treatments that might help my recovery.  She’s trying to understand the nasty little spirochete, how it invades the body, hides from antibiotics and lays dormant in the nervous system until the coast […]

A Farewell to Meat – The Week in Chaos

A Farewell to Meat – The Week in Chaos

It’s that time of month again – no, not that time – it’s time to evaluate my progress in my war against the nasty little Lyme spirochetes.  There was no clear winner in this month’s battle. If there was, I’m pretty certain that it wasn’t me. I need to take drastic measures if I want […]

Lyme and Punishment

Chronic Lyme feels like… Falling off a cliff into a freezing pond and being fished out with a hook by  the skin of your side and being tossed overhead on your head on the rocks dizzy and confused foggy and forgetful you rise and stumble on You’ve been here before.   I didn’t fully admit […]

16 Hours in Lake Placid

16 Hours in Lake Placid

This is the story of  a wedding, a road trip and finding direction. We set out at the crack of dawn to drive north on a damp icky September morning. It was actually 9:30, but it felt earlier because it was Saturday. We were on our way to a wedding, in Lake Placid. ON Lake […]

7 Colleges for Homeschooled, Unschooled and Self-Directed Learners

7 Colleges for Homeschooled, Unschooled and Self-Directed Learners

  I began researching colleges last year, when my daughter began her Freshman year of homeschooling high school. Does that sound a bit early? I feel that the more I know about college requirements for homeschooled students, the more effectively I can prepare my daughter for the admissions process. I think as a homeschool parent, it’s essential to know all the options available. […]

Ancient Egyptian Paper Mache Pottery

Ancient Egyptian Paper Mache Pottery

My youngest daughter has always been fascinated with ancient Egypt. This unique part of history never seems to loose it’s lure.  Creating a paper mache bowl with an Egyptian flair was  a  fun way to explore her interests and  learn about hieroglyphs and Egyptian art. This was the first time (in 13 years of mothering) […]
