As some of you know once a month I make dinner for my friend and her three children. Terri is waiting on a liver transplant and things just aren't looking good.

Oliver and I officially moved into the new house. (Yaaaay!) Every room is painted except two bathroom, the playroom, the foyer, and the edging in Oliver's room and the guest room. The fridge is in, I fixed the plumbing (by having a friend's husband do it), and the fake tint has, for the most… MORE

Yesterday marks the beginning of my favorite three months. Even in Texas, where it's still in the 100's I LOVE September, October, and November. I love the colors of fall, I love the leaves, and love the brisk mornings. I love Halloween and The Day of the Dead. I love Turkey Day and all it's… MORE

A very dear friend of mine has a rare genetic Liver disease and is on the transplant list.

She becomes tired… MORE

This has been a week of change.
