I did not grow up in a family where many things were officially diagnosed. When we weren't feeling well there were usually 3 things that we were told to consider. Do you need to go to the bathroom?

A Tale of Two Tables

Sometimes it takes a little chaos to appreciate something beautiful.  Sometimes you have to step back from the everyday to realize how valuable it is.  And sometimes you decide to rip out your entire kitchen, spread all of its contents throughout your home, and live for a few weeks with 7 people and no stove. … Continue reading A Tale of Two Tables →
