OK, so mine is pretty DEAD from the incredible lack of rain, thank you very much. I was so excited this year to finally install a really nice garden for my family. It started out so nice too. I tilled much of it with my hands. It was a great project to work on while I was going through the harder days of chemotherapy. I would even just lie in the grass sometimes and take in the sun and fresh air.

My entire family loves granola. Who doesn't? Since my son, Robert (6), is a celiac, meaning he can't have gluten products (including oats), I've been working on a gluten-free granola recipe for what seems like forever! They always seem to turn out very nut-heavy, which doesn't really work for breakfast. Of course, I'd also like it to fit into my cancer-fighting list of foods. Well, I'm proud to

We went camping last week with the kids and had an amazing time. It was relaxing, rejuvinating and just plain fun. Our form of camping is slightly less primitive than the average Joe-camp-guy. We have a lovely trailer fully outfitted with kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, and most-importantly, air-conditioning. Well, at least we park it in a campground.My extra time was spent outside, under the trees

What a tremendous birthday I had yesterday! I so wish you ALL could have shared it with us. A dear friend came over and brought her two children - with my four we had a housefull to say the least. It was wonderful. All the energy and noise, laughing and playing - and the kids had a pretty good time too! :) Each birthday, I strive to make a delicious healthy dessert. This year I think I hit the

I was diagnosed with stage IIIC breast cancer in August 2008, and I'm nearly finished with my year of treatments. At this point, it's time for me to get more serious about my health than I've ever been - including nutrition, exercise, stress, and most importantly my spiritual walk with God.During the past 10 months, I've experienced the greatest love and deepest friendships of my life.
