Shoutin’ from the Rooftop

Thank you for every one’s note and emails. I am sorry that it is taking me so long to get back to the site. It looks like it is going to be a few more days. 
On a somewhat good note, Sydney seems to be doing some better. She still has a lot of itching which [...]

Sometimes life turns kind of crazy. I made it through my surgery fine. Had great hopes of posting a quick note later in the week when I was getting back on my feet. Then life turned crazy. Our weekend went downhill.
Long long story short. Friday night Sydney (our six year old) woke up in the [...]

For as long as I can remember there has been debate on artificial sweeteners. Stevia has been on the market for a little while but it has been pricey and sometimes hard to find.

Monday night I had to make a quick run to the store to pick up a prescription and some much needed fresh vegetables. Since I was kid-free for the trip, I decided to make a few quick trips down the isles to see if I saw any new finds.
I was in the breakfast food isle [...]

I think an easy way to handle this [...]
