Filed Under: featured, just for mom

OK, so I guess it’s time to confess: I have 100% fallen off the detox  and health wagon for myself. The fact is, I’m completely demotivated. My kids are still on. We relaxed a bit with the stressful dieting but they are still more or less following through. But me? I’m a mess. I ate 2 – TWO – eclairs this week – TWICE. I haven’t been to

Filed Under: faith, featured, just for mom

Be A Stroke Hero: Sharing My Story

Filed Under: featured, just for mom

1999 was a scary year. I was a newlywed, trying to complete my degree and start a career in engineering, when something happened I did not expect. My legs felt…rubbery, although I had no trouble walking. I was tired and I rested. I did not want to go to my night class that evening – but it was Chemistry, which I hated, so I thought maybe this
