Ask any Baton Rouge mom what she wants for her children, and health + wellness will be one of her first responses. Whether it’s the mental health of her teenagers, how much screen time to allow her toddlers or struggling with breastfeeding, moms simply want the best outcome for their children’s overall health.
Hey Mommas, I'm just like you. I'm taking care of the kiddos, making sure they get everything they need and tending to my husband. Often that leaves very little time for Momma to take care of herself. Honestly, I get it! Yoga was the last thing I thought I could squeeze in to do for myself.
I have a full-time job, a part-time job doing business and digital media consulting, and another part- time job managing the nursing schedule for my son's care and running his personal care attendant agency. There is no time left for ME. But amidst the recent flood relief efforts and the taking care of everyone else, a sweet and wise friend reminded me that I...

A Proven Positive Approach for Children who Need to See an Orthodontist
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that a child is evaluated at age 7 by an Orthodontist. An Orthodontist is a dentist who has specialized training in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics for at least 2 years after becoming a dentist. Orthodontists not only create beautiful smiles, but also correct detrimental malocclusions. Orthodontic treatment may prevent periodontal issues, TMJ, and excessive tooth wear that may occur due to improperly fitting bites. They are specialists in straightening teeth, correcting bites, and obtaining optimal facial esthetic results.
Early Treatment by an Orthodontist
With many parents having concerns about why children are being treated by an...
For me a new year brings the urge to get healthy and fit not only for myself but for my family. With it came bootcamp three days a week, extra workouts in the evenings, and the desire to give our nutrition a serious edit. You see, this health and fitness driven desire I get usually gets into full swing right around Lent, and this year all liquid calories made the cut. So there I was, with the grand idea to consume water and nothing else -- and a long 40 days and 40 nights ahead of me.
A little back story on how much of a soda addict I am not: growing up, we never had sodas in the house....
It wasn't too long ago that I left my family. I told my husband “I’m leaving,” grabbed my purse and walked out. I got into my car and drove away. Now granted I only left for 8 minutes and just went around the block, but I had to. I needed to leave.
It had been a day of non-stop whining, demands, fighting from the kids. We are in the process of renovating our home so my husband has been over at the new place working during any free time he has. This leaves me home alone a lot with two children who need constant entertainment, through absolutely no fault of his or their own. This day was particularly hard for no...
This morning we had an appointment with our pediatrician. The baby (well, still a baby to me) was due for her 2-year well-visit, while the 5 year-old needed his ears re-checked for what feels like the 500th time. None of this by itself is particularly exciting, but what happened within the four walls of the exam room made my day.
Like many of our friends, and like many of you, we use anatomically correct words in our home on purpose AND by design. From the time our kids can talk, we use the words "penis" and "vagina" to describe those body parts. I will admit that it took my husband some getting used to, and he did push back a...
