Neurodivergency and sports: what is the connection? (part one)

March 14, 2026

Neurodivergency is a concept that has been increasingly appearing in medical terminology over the past few years. For anyone unfamiliar with the term, and in my own words, it refers to someone who thinks and processes information differently than someone who is neurotypical, or, for lack of better terminology, ‘normal.’ Individuals who are neurodivergent are … More Neurodivergency and sports: what is the connection?

These are the best foods to eat when you’re sick (part two)

March 10, 2026

Since I apparently have the immune system of a plague-ridden, Renaissance-era Victorian child, I find myself rather ill with a hell of a bug, not even one month after overcoming a different sort of cold virus. It’s more annoying than anything, and also rather inconvenient, but seeing as it is that time of year for … More These are the best foods to eat when you’re sick (part two)

Why aren’t we worried about the future of farmland?

March 8, 2026

Being a farmer’s daughter, in combination with living and working on our family farm for most of my life, one could assert that I’m a little bit biased on the topic of agriculture, and I suppose they would be correct in their assertion. I’ve always been quite passionate about farming, and my background and experience … More Why aren’t we worried about the future of farmland?

Looking for some high-quality dog treats? Read this

March 6, 2026

My brother and sister-in-law were kind enough to include some gifts for our dog, Lenny, this past Christmas, when we exchanged gifts with one another. Blaine and I certainly weren’t expecting anything for Lenny, but the thoughtfulness of the gesture is sincerely appreciated, and one of the items for Lenny was a brand of dog … More Looking for some high-quality dog treats?

Let’s hear it for being left-handed (part two)

March 1, 2026

Seeing as left-handed people are such a minority, I figured it was only appropriate to extend this topic into two separate posts. I mean, I might be a wee bit biased, seeing as I am a leftie myself, but we’ll just pretend that didn’t sway today’s topic of choice. I genuinely enjoy being left-handed because … More Let’s hear it for being left-handed (part two)

Let’s talk about the cost of chronic illness

February 27, 2026

The recent passing of Eric Dane, an actor, has prompted quite a bit of discussion regarding chronic and serious illness and the astronomical care costs associated with both. Dane suffered from and succumbed to ALS, a horrific disease, and from what I have been seeing online, a lot of people are absolutely flabbergasted over the … More Let’s talk about the cost of chronic illness

How about a Pierogi and Meatball Skillet for dinner tonight?

February 26, 2026

While I might not identify as Polish, my love for pierogis suggests otherwise. You just can’t go wrong with a solid pierogi, and while I’ll eat just about any kind, my preference is cheese and/or bacon. This might be a hot take, but eating pierogis alongside apple sauce positively slaps. Try it if you don’t … More How about a Pierogi and Meatball Skillet for dinner tonight?

Have you seen season four, part one, of Bridgerton?

February 20, 2026

I will be entirely transparent and admit that when Bridgerton first premiered as a television show on Netflix, I absolutely assumed I would not like it, and therefore boycotted it for quite some time. It was a stupid assumption on my behalf, because I didn’t allow myself to investigate what the show is actually about; … More Have you seen season four, part one, of Bridgerton?

Are you familiar with these health hacks? (part three)

February 15, 2026

When I began this mini series, if you will, addressing helpful health hacks to share with all of you, I was not intending to extend the subject into three separate posts. But, because the material I’m referencing is, in fact, useful information, and not entirely abstract to our lives, I figured I would extend our … More Are you familiar with these health hacks? (part three)

Are you familiar with these health hacks? (part two)

February 14, 2026

Hacks, when relevant and applicable to someone or something, are some of life’s greatest gifts. I’ve come across a few over the years that I keep shelved in the archives of my mind because they really have made a positive difference for me in regard to the task or situation they apply to, and who … More Are you familiar with these health hacks? (part two)

Are you familiar with these health hacks? (part one)

February 13, 2026

I have never hid my love and appreciation for a solid hack, in any context, from any of you, and I’m not about to start; hacks, when applicable and relevant, can be absolute game changers in the realm of life, and their purpose is to essentially make a task simpler or less complicated. Hacks exist … More Are you familiar with these health hacks? (part one)
