Siblings can have no more in common than their parents, sometimes – even twins. I know growing up, my brothers and I couldn’t have been more different from one another. Claire Adam’s Golden Child explores this theme. Peter and Paul, twins, are nothing alike. Peter is the “golden child” while Paul has always been a …
While I’m all for going to the doctor when needed, it’s good to know what remedies can help with which ailments.

The book is arranged by use – respiratory remedies, …
I love to travel. I don’t do it nearly enough at the moment, but hopefully that will change later this year. For Christmas, I got a couple of travel books for exploring Kansas, and I’m really excited to do that and write about where we go. Near the end of last year, I shared an …

It’s 2019 now, and we’re finishing out our winter break (It’s futile to attempt to homeschool while my 20-year-old is home visiting from college. It’s just …
Happy new year! May 2019 bring you great contentment! Wow, was 2018 a weird year for me. It started out ok; I finished the Wichita Run 12k, The Big Run 5k, and Urban ICT’s 10k. I made it four miles into the Titan 10k. I ran every day in July. I trained for the Air …
