Is anyone on a low oxalate diet?
My mother is on a low oxalate diet to prevent kidney stones. She is also type 2 diabetic and hypertensive. Her diet is extremely restrictive. Just wondering if anyone else is also low oxalate, and if they could offer any advice or websites for information? I have found a few websites with meal plans for her, but any…

Looking for parents with no living children
My daughters, Abigail & Octavia, identical twins, were stillborn in December of 2014. It's been five months and sixteen days. My husband and I have made it through their due date (May 9th) and Mother's Day, and now just need to get through Father's Day. Hopefully we'll be ok for a little while. I'm looking for friends in…

Never surrender!
So, I'm driving into work this morning, listening to my iPod, when a song started playing that I'd only heard a couple of times. Now, the week's only just started, but I feel like I've had my fair share of stress already. This particular song picked me up, and I feel like I can keep going. Just wanted to share. When things…

Substitutes for butter?
Looking for tried and true swaps for replacing butter in recipes, particularly quick breads. I've used unsweetened applesauce to replace oil in recipes previously, with success. I may try this soon in my banana bread recipe, but wondered if anyone has actually tried it, and what the results were. Thank you!

Anyone else struggling with weight and fertility issues?
It's difficult for me to talk about. I'm not an overly emotional person by any stretch (I'm usually the dry-eyed one at funerals), but I can't talk about this subject with people face to face, it feels like everything will come bubbling out and I'll be a tear-soaked mess. My husband and I have been married for almost 12…

Does it smell like newbie in here?
OMG, it's me! *sprays air freshener* Good morning! I am a 36 year old working woman, married with no kids (except the 4-legged variety). My motivation for joining is to hold myself accountable for what I'm doing with my life. Basically, to get off my lazy bum and do something.
