Our more focused health journey started with healthy cooking and the importance of quality fruits and vegetables and convenient, inexpensive ways to get and grow them. This had great health benefits, but some continuing digestive issues opened our eyes to the world of fermenting, which has been tremendously helpful. It is amazing how much powerContinue reading “Make Your Own Kombucha”

August Free Family Events (Cleveland, OH)
Tomorrow is the last day of the summer session at Tri-C. It has been a wonderful group of students, and while I am excited for the break, I will miss seeing them. They invested their summer and worked hard with a positive attitude. This is a reminder to me and to all of us. Don’tContinue reading “August Free Family Events (Cleveland, OH)”
July Free Family Events (Cleveland, OH)
Freedom! William Wallace made this final cry as he was killed in the movie Braveheart. Closer to home, countless soldiers have cried this same cry as they charged into battle and nearly certain death. The signers of our Declaration of Independence were crying out “Freedom!” as they boldly signed an act of high treason againstContinue reading “July Free Family Events (Cleveland, OH)”
June Free Family Events (Cleveland, OH)
The spring rains have brought the green of life to northeast Ohio. The birds are chirping, squirrels are scampering and I saw my first Monarch butterfly a few days ago (and the mosquitoes seem to still be sleeping!). What a wonderful time to just get out for a walk, a run, a ride, or aContinue reading “June Free Family Events (Cleveland, OH)”

May Free Family Events (Cleveland, OH)
Life!!! Just get outside or look out the window and you will see the yearly celebration of life. Today we planted a new apple tree. All winter we saw the one we plated last year. It looked small and dead, yet we knew it was alive. It was just doing what God made it toContinue reading “May Free Family Events (Cleveland, OH)”
April Free Family Events (Cleveland, OH)
“Christ Jesus, Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient toContinue reading “April Free Family Events (Cleveland, OH)”
March Free Family Events (Cleveland, OH)
We feel it has been a very mild winter (you may disagree :o). A few days of very cold, a few days of snow, but overall not bad (unless you were looking forward to more snow activities). Well March is here, so we may get a few more big snows yet, but any snow nowContinue reading “March Free Family Events (Cleveland, OH)”
February Free Family Events (Cleveland, OH)
Happy Chinese New Year!!! Chinese New Year is on the lunar calendar so moves around a bit on the western calendar (similar to Easter). Thousands of years of celebrating a holiday can develop quite a few traditions, and the traditions do make the holiday something to look forward to and help with remembering the holidayContinue reading “February Free Family Events (Cleveland, OH)”
