Welcome to yr Auntie's personal blog!
What happens when an Elder Millennial #GirlBoss turns 40, becomes disabled by a spinal cord injury and osteoarthritis, gets an AuDHD diagnosis, discovers a bunch of food allergies, and finds herself in perimenopause? I started this blog to document the process when I learned I needed a total hip replacement, and now we're finding out together!
2026 has been quite the year for major surgery - exactly eight months after that total hip replacement, Auntie is getting their uterus yoinked in a full hysterectomy. Amidst the surgery updates, Auntie is writing personal essays and updates on health and nutrition, natural (curly) hair growth and care, skincare and hygiene for a changing body, everyday spirituality, and all kinds of opinions and lore from someone who's lived a pretty interesting first half of their life.
This is, indeed, the yr Auntie of Auntie's Kitchen, the food blog with minimal content and maximal flavors that avoids many of the most common food allergens.
