    Adventures of being owned by a cat.

    About 3 years ago my kids started asking for a cat. I did not want a cat. We settled on getting two cats…. Someone on Facebook had two rescue cats that had, had litters of kittens and they all needed homes. After looking at pictures, we picked the two we were going to get and…

    Adventures in singlish parenting.

    No, my husband didn’t leave me. Poor guy is stuck with me. Not just in this life but past the end of time. Sorry, not sorry Lover… As many of you know, we spent a glorious summer dragging our children on just about every mode of transportation known to man across 15 different countries. (I…

    What the heck I am doing and why.

    So to start I want to cover some of the basics. Once again, I am not a doctor or a dietitian. What’s right for me, might not be right for you. Talk to your doctor and listen to your body. Both my husband and I are partaking in this plan. While I might mention some…

    In search of something that works.

    Let’s start with the obvious. I am not a doctor or dietitian. I took one nutrition class in college and the only thing I remember about it was that my boyfriend at the time took me being in class as an opportunity to sleep with my roommate… That being said, everything you will read here…
