So, it’s been a year. A YEAR!!! Since we posted last, and yes last time we were in Europe. Wow! what a year it’s been. I wanted to give a little bit of an update, and by little bit, I mean the first edition of catching everyone up to what we’ve been up to and what’s changed. So, after we…

I was wondering if after all these *months* you’d like to meet. Hello. Can you hear me? Actually, I should ask, do you remember me? I know it’s been a hot minute since I posted last. Let’s just say that life got in the way. Now, I have a million and one ideas of things that I want to post…

I just looked back on our last published post… it was in the beginning of August. So, for that I apologize. That being said, I wanted to fill you in on things that have happened in the mean time.

Hey there waffle tribe, today’s post is an “in case you missed it” post. Last week I had the amazing opportunity to guest post over at Physician On Fire’s site. And let me tell you, it was an absolute honor. Physician On Fire was one of the first FIRE blogs that I started reading and I immediately became hooked. Even…

Whenever I mention any of my volunteer work, it never fails that I always get asked one question. How do you find placements or organizations to volunteer with? And I usually initially respond with “Do your research!” There are a lot of spammy volunteer organizations out there, so you definitely want to pick one that is reliable and trusted”,…

We have a tradition here in the Kingdom Of Waffles. We have this journal (See Above) that lives in our holiday decoration box, and every year, at the turn of the year, each of us write a new entry. First we read our entries from the previous year, then we write our new entries independently, only to be read 365…

My First Medical Mission I was nervous as I packed up the last bit of supplies into the duffel bag and zipped it shut. The bag was full of medical supplies, including gauze, syringes, tape, drains, among other items that I would be taking to Ayacucho, Peru to assist the team of medical professionals during our week of volunteering. …
