Until recently, my sweet Selah had never had cereal in her short little life. Well, the other day we were out of eggs, so I just broke up a granola bar into pieces and poured milk in the bowl to serve for breakfast. Immediately, I hear..."MAMA, THIS IS COLD! WHAT'S IN MY MILK?!" Seriously, she flipped! And even though she loved it after I convinced her to give it a try, I think my little girl will always prefer her warm breakfasts of ...
A Glimpse Into the Graphic Reality of Childhood Cancer
I read something yesterday that said, "What if you woke up tomorrow and all that was left was what you had actually thanked the Lord for?" Yeah...it made me think that even though I have so many things in my reality to be thankful for, I need to spend more time actually thanking God and less time yelling at Him. Today was one of those days. I was reminded again of the reality we are actually in, and this time, it hit me quick! ...
A Birthday Celebration: “Jack in the Box” Breakfast Sandwich & Chocolate Cake

Breakfast : "Jack in the Box" Breakfast Sandwich Let me first explain the inspiration behind this creation! The other night we were watching television and ...
Bone Broth as an Alternative Therapy for Cancer
I believe that diet, alongside of other therapies, can play an extremely important role in healing the body of cancer. And more specifically, I believe that one of the more important parts of that diet should include bone broth. Let's think for a moment...what if your grandma was right?! Seriously, what if that chicken soup really WAS good for the soul? I know that it always made me feel better when I was sick. And to this day, people ...
Is Raw Milk Safe?
"Is Raw Milk Safe?" This is one of the most common question I receive from clients and friends, especially now when I talk about giving Kicker raw kefir, raw milk, raw butter and raw cheese. Our Oncologist even made sure to tell us, "No raw dairy, whatsoever!" But guess what I did?! I stood up, loudly cleared my throat, put on my super smart, sexy, reading glasses, whipped out my PowerPoint presentation and told him what's ...
Choosing Strength + Cancer Detox Remedies
"You don't know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have." I recently read this quote somewhere, and it speaks volumes to our journey! Prior to Kicker's Leukemia diagnosis on December 4th, 2013, I had only met one other person whose child had beat cancer. From my perspective, it was totally unheard of, and if anything, cancer was a death sentence, especially for children. Seriously, have you seen the ...
When Medicine Is Wrong
I am thankful for our Oncologist. She is kind, communicative and really cares about my son. I am thankful for the research that has gone into childhood cancer treatment. And I appreciate the ability to have the option of medicine when it is necessary. I am also very thankful for the technological advances in medicine. They played an integral part in diagnosing my son with cancer. However, if we had had a choice, I am not certain we would ...
