How to Prepare Meat During Your Child’s “Meat-Fickle” Phase

How to Prepare Meat During Your Child’s “Meat-Fickle” Phase

Something happens when a toddler approaches 1 ½ years old.  It happens to the best of us: your formerly fantastic eater who previously dined on chicken, beef, lamb, and fish suddenly starts rejecting certain foods—especially meat!  You may not have changed a thing about the way you’re preparing it.  This new development may not stop at meat.  The banana you served him yesterday brought tears of jo...

What Fitness Means to Me

You’ve seen them shuffling down the street. Fragile old men and women who need canes or walkers to help them move because they’re likely to tip over at any second.

Unlike nowadays, youth sports were limited but our high school ... Read More »

What It’s Really Like to Be a Flight Attendant

Being a flight attendant comes with some major perks: For one, you get to travel the world. But the job isn’t without its own challenges, too.

So what wins out: Homesickness, or love of travel? Turns out that’s just one of the q... Read More »

Sperm, Meet Egg!

Sperm, Meet Egg!

  It happens all the time and it pisses me off! People who don’t want to (or shouldn’t be allowed to) get pregnant, do, and those who want to get pregnant, can’t! Why! Why? WHY!? You see people who are unfit to be parents, juggling six kids they can’t afford, and it’s sickening. But yet an educated, mature, couple who are capable and ready to have a baby, can’t. Then there’s this scenario, th... Read More »

BlogU Baltimore Uncustomary | WIRL Project

BlogU in Baltimore

As a blogger, I’m constantly looking for ways to improve my corner of the internet. I do as much research as I can online, but I’m a much better learner in a teacher-student scenario. I’ve paid lots of money to attend blogging workshops and branding seminars, as well as purchasing plenty of one-on-one consultation services. I’ve learned something from each of these, for sure, but I really had no i... Read More »
