Obesity on the Rise in the U.S.

The F as in Fat Study came out today and to nobody's surprise it says obesity is rising in the United States. It is at this point in my blog post that you might expect me to get just a little bit snarky but I'm not doing it. It's hard but I'm taking this very seriously and if you read to the end, you'll find out why.

Cancer doesn't care if you're a food blogger or a mommy blogger or a craft blogger...

Remember when I used to blog about cancer a lot? No? Well that's ok, I almost can't remember that far back either. But it's true, I used to be a health blogger and I blogged about cancer several times a month. My feedreader was filled with women who were blogging about surviving cancer, blogging about loved ones who weren't surviving cancer, and blogging about how to prevent cancer. When I think about what caused me to stop blogging about cancer, I realize that I unsubscribed to most of the cancer bloggers I'd been following because it got to be too much. Yea.

Quirky kitchen requirements

Just when I thought it was safe to go back into the kitchen, I was reminded of just how differently TW and I view the kitchen... and some of the stuff in our kitchen. These differences were made apparent when we moved in together in the summer of 2002. Boy what a shock that was.
