Get a Jump Start on Heart Disease Prevention With Your Little Ones
February is National Heart Month! To observe this very important month of awareness for heart disease, we would like to share a few ways to work to prevent Heart Disease before it is even a problem – in childhood! While heart disease is primarily a health issue in adults, and not children, many of the factors that cause heart disease begin in childhood. According to the CDC, one in every six children in the U.S. are considered obese, a statistic that concerns doctors and parents alike, as many of the unhealthy habits that contribute to childhood obesity can lead to...
The idea of taking a spin class has always intrigued me, but the thought of committing 45 minutes to a hard intense workout where you’re stuck on a bike made me nervous. I mean I don’t even know how to ride a real bike so that just adds to the anticipation of the pain I’d feel the next day. But the other day I took the plunge and I am now obsessed.

When my daughter was still a baby, a greeter at Wal-Mart chased me down to yell at me, “The keys! The keys! The baby has the keys! IN HER MOUTH!!!” My first reaction was a dumbfounded, “AND?” She looked at me exasperated, “Well, she’s not supposed to put them in her mouth!”

I’m not a germophobe.
Sure, I don’t want germs, but studies have shown that trying to avoid germs...
You've heard it before; it's so important for moms to take some "me time." That can be hard with small kids who rely on you for a majority of their needs. You may get lucky with a few date nights or girls nights here and there, but why not have "me time" more often? I like to take just a short amount of time on most nights after the kids go to sleep to do something for myself that I enjoy. Here is my list of short, relaxing things to do!
Take a bubble bath
Calming epsom salt, bubble bath, fizzy bath bombs, exfoliation scrub - all the things. Laid back with the soothing aromas, as the stress of the day...
