Not just one rabbit, but two.
Oh, and two guinea pigs as well.
The cost of acquiring them was FREE: animals; cages; accessories; food pellets to start; everything. Another military family moving on. The animals needed a home, and we have a little girl who’s been wanting a pet rabbit for a very, very long time… He [...]

Absolutely beautiful day in Ohio. The humidity dropped exponentially overnight.
Just in time for our impending road trip to Kansas: Land of Heat and Humidity.

Great blog, eh?
Erin is a real-life friend of mine, the first kindred spirit I befriended after moving to Ohio two years ago. I like to say that I knew her “back in the day…” The day before she [...]

My cousin Hannah created an amazing blog, “Bellies in Bloom” that focuses on holistic health care, pregnancy, and natural childbirth. Recently she posted a series chronicling her personal, heartbreaking experience with an ectopic pregnancy. She’s been a massage therapist for several years and recently became a doula. (She lives in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area if [...]
