Spoiler warning: This article contains spoilers from Outlander Season 6, Episode 8, finale, “I Am Not Alone.” The Outlander season 6 finale was spectacular. Exceptional in every way. And utterly stressful. “I Am Not Alone” was an hour-long feature film. It had action, love, anxiety, trauma, and an ending that left everyone in a panic: mainly Jamie, Claire, and me. Caitríona Balfe and Sam Heughan deliver performances that are as captivating, if not more, than they delivered in season one, proving yet again why it’s impossible not to watch these two....

My oldest son didn’t know what a sandwich was until he was three years old. I denied him cake at birthday parties and made him trade in his Halloween candy for cheap plastic toys. I did all of these things in the name of “health” because, at the time, our family followed a strict paleo diet. No grains. No sugar. No dairy. No beans. We were all in. My husband and I followed a paleo diet before we ever had children and, while we weren’t zealots, we stuck to the rules pretty closely....
