Why does your hair decide to behave the day of your haircut but not a day before?

Trying to find a way to get your family to eat more fiber? This chocolate pudding works in my house. And he doesn’t even like sweet potatoes.

This along with other high fiber food even kept every thing running smooth post surgery, when a lot of people struggle and need aids, if you know what I mean.

What tricks do you use to sneak in extra fiber?

Cutting up my new custom tee to make it more comfortable is today’s little creative project.

It feels just the way I hoped- loose and light! Perfect for our hot summer weather. Now to run mailing errands.

Do you cut up your tees or leave them with hems? What do you cut? I have more to do and would love ideas. 💡

I’m care taking this week. He’s doing remarkably well this first week post surgery. But, honestly, it’s exhausting.

I learned from a friend that recently went through this, to nap while he’s napping. It helps, but I’m not usually a napper.

So when I feel like I’m all caught up, I’m doing little creative projects. Like this one.

I’m dreaming of the beach in our 100+ desert heat and suddenly felt I needed a cowrie shell necklace. So I made one- actually two!

What little creative projects would you do?

Have you ever struggled to find tee shirts that feel like you? Me too.

So I did something fun and designed my own and the first two are here!

Being a summer season with muted colors- it’s hard to find my colors. So I’m embracing the DIY and having fun with vintage art and whimsy too.

There’s something that often happens when you show up for a friend during one of the most painful times of her life.

I found out yesterday that a dear friend of mine passed away. And I didn’t even know. We had lost touch — not because we wanted to. But because I knew too much.

We became fast friends — the kind you don’t find very often. We clicked immediately. For the first time in a long time I had a best friend.

Then her world fell apart. She discovered her husband had been unfaithful. And I became her shoulder. The tears. The questioning. The anger. The betrayal. The moments of devastation. I was there to listen.

It was not my place to tell her what to do so I encouraged her to seek professional guidance — to talk to someone who could help her navigate one of the most painful decisions of her life. I wanted her to think it through, not react out of pain.

Eventually they worked through it. I was happy for her because I knew her marriage was important to her and she deeply loved him but slowly I was pushed out.

He never liked me after that. And I understood why. I knew too much.

Years later she told me I was a good friend to her. That I helped her through one of the toughest times of her life. It meant everything.

But it wasn’t enough to keep us close.

I call it being the inconvenient witness. You didn’t do anything wrong. You just know too much. And you remind them of something they want to move past.

It hurts though.

They eventually went on to celebrate 37 years together then she fell ill. I wish I could have been there for her. I’m grieving her loss.

If you’ve ever been pushed out for knowing too much, just know it wasn’t your fault. You showed up. That matters.

Have you ever been an inconvenient witness? I’d love to hear your story in the comments.

Share in case someone you know doesn’t have words for this.

Getting told no by your doctor doesn’t always mean the conversation is over — especially when you know your own body.

This is for every woman who has ever left an appointment feeling dismissed, or stayed quiet because she didn’t want to be difficult.

You are allowed to advocate for yourself. You are allowed to keep asking.

How have you pushed for your own or family’s care? I’d love to hear your success stories.

Women speaking up for themselves, not taking no for an answer, becoming your own advocate, making sure you get the medical care you need

Ever try a dinner experiment that turns out so good, it will change the way you make something from here on out?

Tonight’s lentil bolognese got an upgrade with veggies that secretly upped the nutritional value but also made it more “meaty” and thick and tasty.

If you’re trying to sneak veggies into your meals (or someone else’s) save and try this one when you want something quick and hearty that everyone will love:

Ingredients:
1 box of pasta of choice- I used a gf Barilla penne
1 jar pasta sauce- Aldi’s has the best oil-free!
2 cups steamed lentils- or 1 Trader Joe’s package
1 15 ounce can tomato sauce
1 bag frozen cauliflower/broccoli riced
4 oz mushrooms, chopped
2 Tbsp minced garlic - or to taste
2 Tbsp Italian seasoning- we like Well Your World’s
2 cups water or to just cover pasta
Fresh chopped basil - small handful

Put it all in a pot -except basil.
You could sauté garlic a little first if you like- but I was going for quick.
Cook for time listed on pasta box. Stirring regularly.
Make sure pasta is al dente. Stir in the basil leaves.

Plate and serve. No one will know there are added veggies.

But you just made it a 50/50 plate with veggies and carbs, increased the protein and lowered the calorie density at the same time. 🙌

The veggies make it thick- sort of like a Chili Mac.
And I love that it’s all in one pot without having to pour out boiling water and clean two pots.

Let me know if you’re going to try. Or if you do something similar.

My dentist told me these 3 foods are the biggest culprits he sees for broken teeth and crowns. I learned the hard way with gummies. Save this before your next dental bill.

What do you think? Anything he forgot?
