    Edited to add: There is a TL;DR at the bottom of this post. I love animals. Everyone who knows me personally is aware of this. Those of you who have been reading this site for a while are also probably aware of it. And when it comes to donating money, I usually pick animal organizations.…

    I’m a worrier by nature. The female members of my family are Olympic gold medalists when it comes to worrying. There has always been a part of my brain hardwired for worry. I have always been a worrier. All my life, a worrier. But during my luteal phase, I hit the rock bottom of worry.…

    My kids have a lot of Thomas stuff. And over the years, people have commented about it. I always just shrug it off. At best, they’ll think my kids are lucky. At worst, they’ll assume my kids are spoiled brats with far too many Thomas trains. But there’s a story behind why we have so…

    I didn’t write about my infertility while it was happening and I wish I had because I know many of you could have helped me. Over the years, I’ve tried to go back and write about it, but that’s been difficult for me. Writing about it after the fact feels a bit disingenuous since I’m…

    Edited to add: Toby has informed me that he does NOT like these biscuits. Him: “I don’t know what you’re doing, but they are just weird. I do not approve.” Me: “Then why are you eating one?” Him: “Because I’m hungry.” Heh. Anyway, I’m going to leave it up, but maybe steer clear until I…

    I have been playing around with gluten-free baking lately. I am not gluten-free, but I know that many people are and I want to stay on top of things. One day I would like to become a full time baker and I feel I will be more marketable if I understand how gluten-free baking works.…

    It’s been a while since I came out with a new flavor and I’m SUPER excited about this one. They are toasted coconut and lemongrass. Thanks to Jon for the name suggestion; he won himself a free batch of lollipops for the help. Anyway here’s The Tom Yummy! Stop by my shop if you have time.…

    While I wouldn’t say I have a full-blown phobia of sewage, I have spent an uncomfortable amount of time thinking about it. There are just so many of us! What happens to all the poop once we flush the toilet? This thought bubbles up regularly and sometimes I just can’t stop thinking about it. This…

    This is Tinka the bear. Tinka was created and named by Em when he was just three years old. Before you say, “Awwwww!” He was never attached to Tinka. He has stuffies that he loves; Tinka was just an acquaintance. So this isn’t as bad as it looks. In fact, I find it quite funny.…
