I would have to say the most famous person I have ever met was Wolfgang Puck. I was working as a server for a Spago event in San Francisco. It was a massive event and we had over 200 staff working on this event. My job for the event was to assist on a food… Continue reading The most famous person I have ever met.

I am a working wife and mother. I cook most of our meals from scratch. I firmly believe sharing a meal unites people. I learn languages for fun. I have Celiac Disease as well as a couple serious medical conditions. Life goes on and my blog is life through my eyes.
Medical Office Judging
I recently received a letter from my Primary Care Provider (PCP) that she was closing her office due to retirement. Was she a good doctor for me? Not really, but we had a mutual understanding and she kept my high blood pressure regulated. I go through the hassle of finding another provider. I have severe… Continue reading Medical Office Judging
Pennies on the Graves
Memorial Day is approaching and with that, a tradition we started 13 years ago will take place at the Sacramento National Veteran’s Cemetery, in Dixon, California. I will preface this by saying I am the daughter, niece, wife, and mother of Army veterans. My youngest daughter was just six years old when we started placing… Continue reading Pennies on the Graves
“It Can’t Rain All The Time”
Today’s daily writing prompt asked about a quote that I live my life by or think of often. There are a few quotes that come to mind, but the one I always think of, and it’s a quote from one of my favorite movies. The movie is “The Crow” and the line is “It can’t… Continue reading “It Can’t Rain All The Time”
My Favorite Holiday
The daily writing prompt was what’s your favorite holiday and why? I think Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. It’s a time to dress up, get candy, and just have fun. There aren’t any expectations, except maybe handing out some candy to the little princesses and goblins that make their way to your house.… Continue reading My Favorite Holiday
Cook With Your Kids
Cooking homecooked meals feels like it’s becoming a thing of the past. There are services that will bring you takeout, fast-food is basically everywhere, people are busier than ever, and cooking at home is not the norm anymore. As someone who grew up with a mom who couldn’t cook, I can appreciate how difficult or… Continue reading Cook With Your Kids
Which Me?
Which me will you get? It’s a valid question. There are some people who seem to have the same consistent personality. They can remain calm, smiling, and take everything in stride. On the flip side, there are people who react to everything in an over-the-top manner. Me? It depends on who you are as to… Continue reading Which Me?
Need A Little Black Dress?
My daughter just received this dress yesterday. She stands at just five feet tall. Yet, this dress looks phenomenal on her. It may not be the “little black dress” everyone thinks of when they hear that phrase, but ladies, this dress is a must have, in my opinion. Having to wear all black for her… Continue reading Need A Little Black Dress?
Busy Life
It’s not that I have been uninspired to write or share my great Amazon links, but life is busy. Some days, I’m running on caffeine and a couple hours of sleep. Ok, most days if I’m being honest. I deal with my chronic pain/disability daily. Add that to working full-time outside the home, being a… Continue reading Busy Life
Can It!
Several years ago, I reacquainted myself with the somewhat lost art of canning food. While I am definitely not an expert canner, I enjoy canning food for my family. When I first took up canning, it looked like I was a doomsday prepper or homesteader. I had jars of canned food everywhere. The entire top… Continue reading Can It!
