One of the benefits of residency is that I get to uproot my life every few years, ditching the nagging responsibility of upholding friendships with even my closest friends. As an added bonus, this means I get to collect friends like I used to collect snow globes–the more, the merrier! Ah, the extrovert’s dream. One […]
We are five days into the new year already! Happy 2019! How are those resolutions coming along? All still roaring with the success of blind faith and optimism brought on by a sugar-induced holiday haze? I have to admit, my resolution right now is one-fold: function better than I have been since the onset of […]
It has been a couple weeks since the incident, so I think I can talk about it without crying. Here goes nothing. As all moms to toddlers within a five hour drive of their family know, sometimes you just need to take a road trip. Visiting family can be a much needed vacation from the […]
We all know the names Orville and Wilbur Wright, Thomas Edison, and Milton Hershey. Each talented inventor played a monumental role in establishing necessities of life as we know it.

Born on the eve of the September 7th, 2016 Apple Event announcing the iPhone 7, this research project was in fact the brain […]
I am a huge fan of diets. The stricter, the better. If you don’t believe me, check out one of my previous posts, The Water Diet: Lose That Baby Weight Fast! And that is not the only diet that has found its way into our house. This one is perfect for anyone in the busy medical […]
I’ll make this short and sweet, like my experience at the DMV. But my soul can’t rest until I share with my fellow moms my recommendation for the DMV as your next destination when you need a break. Consider this. When one of your oldest kids is sick, another is a threenager, and twins popped […]
***Spoiler Alert!*** The Bachelorette is widely accepted as one of the most wholesome and intellectually stimulating programs in television.
