Slipped Rib Syndrome: what you should know

Like I said in yesterday’s post, issues with ribs are anything but pleasant. The biggest issue with rib injuries and their associated pain is the fact that we use our ribs and their related muscles and tendons a hell of a lot more than we realize throughout a given day; once a rib, or several … More Slipped Rib Syndrome: what you should know

Serve this grilled shrimp and noodle salad at your next dinner party

I have always absolutely loved Asian cuisine and the incredible flavours that are often incorporated into dishes. There is something so deeply satisfying about indulging in a meal in which you can actually taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients, and Asian cuisine is no exception to this experience. Asian cuisine may be perceived … More Serve this grilled shrimp and noodle salad at your next dinner party

How about a Pierogi and Kielbasa Sheet Pan Dinner for supper tonight?

When it comes to cooking, the fewer dishes required, the better. I’ve conversed with a few different folks about how frustrating it is to consider how long it takes to prep and cook a meal, then clean up, versus how long it takes to actually consume it, and the realization is a wee bit disheartening … More How about a Pierogi and Kielbasa Sheet Pan Dinner for supper tonight?

Know your ghosts

When it comes to the paranormal realm, the term ‘paranormal’ itself is a blanket term. The word paranormal can refer to a plethora, and further, a wide range of entities and energies, and the term itself refers to anything that cannot be explained, or justified, with reasonable scientific understandings and observations. Most people, when they … More Know your ghosts

As it turns out, Easter history is quite interesting

When I wrote yesterday’s post about Easter, I was not, initially, anticipating dedicating a second post to the topic. Without sounding ignorant, I honestly did not realize just how much history there is to the holiday known as Easter, and because I was seriously lacking in my Easter knowledge, I figured there are plenty of … More As it turns out, Easter history is quite interesting

Wake up to some Easter Breakfast Casserole with this recipe

Easter is just around the corner, and whether or not you celebrate this holiday, I think it is fair to say that the food associated with Easter is worth savouring regardless. Perhaps you have an entire spread planned, or maybe you’re going with something lighter, like finger foods; whatever your plans are, however, you might … More Wake up to some Easter Breakfast Casserole with this recipe

Move over, Keurig: This should be your next coffee maker

As I explained in yesterday’s post, Keurig and I share a long, complicated history. I’ve been through a few, to say the least, and after the last one crashed and burned, I knew it was time to move on from Keurig and spread my wings in the coffee maker realm. My sister, bless her, was … More Move over, Keurig: This should be your next coffee maker

The importance of supporting imagination in children

A child’s imagination really is a thing of wonder. I like to believe that the reason children are able to construct such wild and creative creations in their minds is because they haven’t grown up and therefore haven’t had their minds corrupted by the plethora of unfortunate happenings in this world. I’m not alone in … More The importance of supporting imagination in children

Here’s how to introduce a kitten to an older cat (part two)

I mentioned in yesterday’s post that the cat situation in my and Blaine’s home could be better as of late. We rescued a feral kitten, Timmy, and despite Timmy’s best efforts to befriend our other, older cat, Lionel, Lionel is not having any of it, and the two of them haven’t necessarily gotten off to … More Here’s how to introduce a kitten to an older cat (part two)

Let’s explore somatic therapy methods

As I stated in yesterday’s post, today’s will provide some specific techniques through which somatic therapy is conducted. Yesterday’s post was a sort of introduction to the concept of somatic therapy as opposed to delving into the nitty gritty details of how exactly it is performed, so I thought I would address that in today’s … More Let’s explore somatic therapy methods

Let’s take a moment to talk about turtles

Whenever I do a mental regroup in an attempt to determine which animals I’ve already covered in posts, and successfully come up with an animal I haven’t written about yet, I’m almost always surprised I didn’t think of said animal in question sooner. In today’s case, it’s turtles; I love turtles, as most folks do, … More Let’s take a moment to talk about turtles
