My journey of life while dying with Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer
Living with cancer is hard. Expected response: No duh! Tell me something I don't already know! Living with cancer is not easy. Every little ache, every little pain... is it the cancer?

Today, a photographer, Darren, drove up from Milwaukee to take pictures of me. The pictures are for the US News & World Report magazine, because of our shitty water in 2016.

"Bye, be safe! I love you!" This is the last thing I say to the hubs when he leaves for work on a weekday morning. I am completely amazed at the intelligence of the hubs. He is so smart, and sees things from the "other side" like I do. He comes up with alternatives to …
There’s been so much going on these past weeks, it’s hard to know where to start! WEDDING PLANNING Little One’s wedding planning is coming along, and before we know it, the end of September will be here. She got her “Say Yes to the Dress” experience, for which I am so thankful. Tie the Knot …
