Happy Holidays from Paradise; What I Learned this Fall
No, it’s not a private island in the Pacific or an exclusive mountain retreat. It’s just home. Fall has become winter somehow as I sat inside and missed most of the fall season color. We do get color in our part of California but you have to be outside to see it. I have learned…
A Note to Pregnant Moms Closer to Forty Than To Twenty
A friend of mine is pregnant with her first child. She’s my age – extremely close to forty and many years behind her since she was twenty. I have been thinking about the issues that older professional women face when they have children. I wrote her a letter with some of the thoughts below. ~~~~~…

Quinoa Pasta: A Review
I expect I am about to disappoint the entire celiac community with this review of quinoa pasta. People with Celiac’s Disease or wheat/gluten allergies cannot eat gluten and stay on the hunt for gluten-free replacements like these. Before you disappear, however, after my ho-hum review of these products, there are some very interesting grain-related resources…

Life After Depression
There really is life after depression. I am so excited by that point, in fact, that I neglect this blog and find fun/quirky projects to do with my family. We live in the Sequoia National Forest in a house (and former brothel) designed by Irving Gill.
