Are you one of those people who loves to workout? I’m not. But I’m trying to get better at it! And I recently read an article that said that cardio alone won’t help you lose weight and get in better shape; that you also need strength training as well. Which is why I think that [...]

Cold season is here, and I already know (and am dreading) that my kids will all catch at least one cold this season. I hate giving them over-the-counter cough and cold medicines, especially because they hate taking it.

Quick! One of the kids fell and scrapped a knee! It’s bleeding, has dirt in it, and probably is going to need some antibiotic ointment, too. Where’s a bandage? Do we even have any cotton or gauze to clean it up? Yep. This was my first notable Mommy Fail.

My husband has a horrible habit: he bites his nails. It drives me totally crazy and I cannot stand it when he watches TV and mindlessly bites his nails. And the best part about this? My 3 year old son has started doing it too. So I was very glad to find Mavala Stop. Mavala [...]

I am a huge fan of organic products; whether it’s food, clothing, or bath and body products, I’m always willing to give them a shot. Now they don’t always work as well as products that are not organic or all natural, and sometimes they cost a significant amount more. Not the case with the erbaviva [...]

My kids are in early elementary school, and one of the things I’m starting to realize is that they do go through bouts of struggling with their self-confidence.

The first thing that popped into my head when I saw this picture above was Michael Jackson’s kids. Remember how he used to make them wear those veils or blankets over their heads? Weird. There’s no Jackson kid behind this product, but I’m sure the King of Pop would have endorsed this.

Do your kids have a flair for the dramatic when they’re mildly hurt? Mine are. I haven’t yet decided whether they were born this way or whether I raised a couple of wussies, but even the slightest scrape has them moaning and groaning, milking it for attention, wailing that nothing can make that tiny dot [...]
