It has certainly been an interesting two weeks around here. After my last blog post, I got so many encouraging comments, on line and in person, and so much support. Thank you everyone! I feel as though I have caught up again and am in a much better headspace to keep moving forward with my…

Punch, Dip & Cake

No this isn’t some awesome new boxing combination, although I would be all over it if it was! I’m talking about the perfect trifecta for a party.
