United Healthcare Refuses to Cover My Prescriptions

I have two prescriptions. United Healthcare, our health insurance, refuses to cover either of them.

I take two monthly prescriptions. I take Pentasa for my Crohn’s Disease. I take hormonal contraception via the Patch to prevent pregnancy AND to help with my periods/cramps. Dan and I found out about a month ago that United Healthcare, the health insurance offered through his work, won’t cover the Patch. For the record, my… [Read More]

Thankful Thursday: I Love My In-Laws!

This Thursday, I'm thankful for my amazing in-laws!

Being sick is pretty awful. Being sick all by myself is worse. Being sick all by myself while prepping to move is the WORST. Last Thursday night was like Thanksgiving Weekend: the Sequel. Aka I was in agonizing pain, and I couldn’t stop vomiting and dry-heaving all night long. I took a sick day on… [Read More]

Easy Crock-Pot Beef Stew Recipe

I love slow cooker recipes! This recipe for beef stew is so easy to make.

Ever since I moved to Findlay almost a year ago, the highlight of my week has always been Game Night. While Dan and I celebrated Valentine’s Day this year by playing board games with our friends, Saturday Game Days are unusual. Usually our friend Chris hosts a potluck dinner on a weeknight, and we all… [Read More]

Top 10 Things I Love about Ohio

After living in Ohio for 2 1/2 years, these are the top 10 things I'll miss the most!

What I Wish I Knew Then

Looking back at the last 20 years, I wish I had known these things about life, love, and feminism.

Dear Brita, age 7: You are not dying. Shortly after your 8th birthday, a wonderful man named Dr. Clark will run some tests. They’ll be scary, but Mommy will be there. The nicest nurse you’ve ever known (“Miss” Denece) will hold your hand. Dr. Clark will tell you  and your parents that you have Crohn’s… [Read More]
