Got Wisdom Teeth Surgery? Get These Foods

So I’m guessing you can tell from the title of this post that Cait had her wisdom teeth out recently. Yep. All four. Nope. Not gonna show any videos or pics–though she was very funny.

And trying to feed this fussy eater–even when she has all her marbles and can chew–is always an adventure.

Today, let’s just talk about whoever thought it was a good idea to have to hit the home key twice to access the home screen. The lock screen is … Read More

Chop Wood, Carry Water

As my day begins in the hush of predawn darkness, as usual, I make my way outside with the dogs. Looking up at the stars, I listen to the muffled sounds of paws padding through dew-covered grass. And I think about how my life has changed over the years.

For someone looking from the outside in, the changes would appear fairly dramatic. So much so, that if assigned with the task of matching up my “then” with “now”, most people … Read More
