Don’t forget to update your feed so you don’t miss any posts! HEB is a local Texas grocery store. There is a small, sad one near my house, but recently I started driving the 15 miles to the fancier one off I-1o, the HEB Bunker Hill. Oh, I love shopping at this store! It’s everything [...]

I live in the fourth largest city in America, but often Houston can seem quite small. There is a distinct lack of healthy grocery stores, for example. When I lived in Denver, there were four separate chains (Sunflower Market, Whole Foods, Wild Oats, Trader Joe’s) and a store was always nearby. Houston? Not so much. [...]

Mister X still isn’t talking well (he does say several words, but will only say half of the word). This summer, I checked out several signing DVDs from the library. His sisters love sign language, and even though X has good hearing, we are teaching him signs to help him communicate. I have run into [...]
