I found this on the Internet awhile back, tweaked it a little to suit our taste and make it gluten-free for me (minus the flour tortillas, of course!). Great on the stove or in a large foil pan on the grill. Enjoy! LW Chicken Fajitas Fajita Seasoning Ingredients: • 3 Tbsp. cornstarch • 2 Tbsp….
When our sons were very little, we did what every good parent does to try and prepare our children for the worst case scenario in a public place—they can’t find mommy or daddy. What we taught them to do is something I think every parent should consider. It wasn’t the easiest because it contradicted what…
Fostering good eating habits in our children has been the challenge of parenting since the dawn of time. Generation after generation has followed the same standard; “you will eat what I served because I said so” and “you will eat everything on your plate or else…” Today I challenge that standard of parenting and support…
Lately I’ve noticed that a lot of people in my life are amid some pretty major life changes. Big things like triple digit weight-loss goals, career changes, trying to find the right anti-depressant, trying to wean off anti-depressants, ending a long-term relationship. There is a common factor in all of these things that I believe very few…

There are a couple of great quotes that really made me laugh: Do you know what you call those who use towels…
Laila and Ryan met the first day of kindergarten. I wasn’t there, but apparently something just clicked. They again landed in the same class in first grade. By the middle of the year it was my understanding that girls were jealous of Ryan and boys were jealous of Laila because it was always “Ryan and…
Going back generations in my family, so many of my relatives and friends have served in every branch of the US Military. My father-in-law immigrated from Canada to serve in our military. He did Korea while enlisted, and Vietnam as a journalist. My father served in the Marines in Korea. I have such a deep…
Hospice care is THE SINGLE MOST AMAZING care I have ever seen in my life! I am coming to realize that there are many people eligible for it that have no idea. Medicare Covers Hospice at 100%. (from medicare.gov) We adore our nurse, Linda Dolan, our aid, Lori, our social worker, John Newland. From the…
My brother-in-law has been here for 3 weeks helping me care for his mom. His plane lifted off about an hour and a half ago. He’s going home to Nevada for 2 weeks to deal with his own life so that he can come back and help me for another 3 weeks. When you face…
