Losing weight and getting healthy requires making a lifestyle change for the rest of your life. Diets don’t work – at least that’s my (un)professional opinion.

Sunburns happen to some of us every summer. But that doesn’t have to happen to you. You can prevent sunburns and if the worst happens, treat them so they heal quicker and better. The best sunburn prevention is to use sunscreen and that is no secret. But many of us do not use sunscreen properly. […] More
I don’t love the idea of taking my girls to the pediatrician for their vaccinations anymore than they like going and being forcibly held down and shot in the thigh. It’s not fun for me to hold them down while they scream and look at me with fear and confusion in their eyes. But…I do […] More
