Living with Vertigo – My Perfect Imperfect Christmas Eve
I like things to be “just so” and I’m a planner. I’d been planning for days so I’d be organized and all ready to go when it came time to entertain on Christmas Eve. My planning did pay off, but things were not “just so”. Preparation Planning food for my family has become an interesting challenge for us. My dad is a celiac and can’t have gluten.

Spring Has (Finally) Sprung!!!
Spring has finally arrived in Iowa!! I hope it’s here to stay. My post today is about four things that don’t warrant separate posts but all tie to it finally being spring. Seed Starter Update It’s been two weeks since my last update and overall, I’m happy to say I’ve had some success. Initially, things looked VERY good. Everything sprouted quickly.
