I love Fall! I love Fall! I love Fall! Yesterday evening, as my husband was manning the grill, the kids were all jumping on the trampoline and I was sweeping the leaves that had fallen ALL OVER our back yard I commented that this is my favorite time of year. My husband responded, “have we lived in SoCal long enough now that we think there are seasons here?!”. Good point, Babe. And yes, we have. The air is getting {Read More}
image by r.nial.bradshaw I recently asked three different groups of people this question: “If you could cure one health issue or annoying symptom, what would it be?” In all three groups, the most common answer was headaches. It seems headaches have become, for many people, just a regular part of the week. But they don’t have to be. One of the hardest part of dealing with headaches is figuring out what’s causing them. There are many different types of {Read More}
When school starts back up for the year something in me immediately switches over into Fall mode. I suddenly want the weather to cool down and the leaves to change and the air to become crisp. I absolutely adore Fall. I love the idea of snuggling up with a hand-stitched quilt, a cup of tea, and a good book. I love the sound of a football game in the background and the sense of renewal and peacefulness that Fall {Read More}

Would they love to read, or sing, or dance? I imagined sweet, sleepy little infants who spent hours snuggling and cooing. What I didn’t spend time daydreaming about was reflux. I didn’t imagine myself sobbing in the furthest corner of the house holding a baby who had been screaming for hours {Read More}

Last night one of my children wrote all over our window sill with a marker. I’m not sure which child it was, because I left the room and when I came back one child was sprinting away from the table with 863 markers jammed in her tiny fat hands and another child immediately confessed “Mama! I colored on my sister! I know she’s not paper, but she looks nice now!” Oh boy. Never a dull moment around here, friends. Anyway, {Read More}

A couple of years ago my sister told me that she had successfully healed her receding gums by switching toothpaste. I was very intrigued, because I too have suffered from receding gums. She told me she had done some research and had learned that sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) damages gum tissue. Until then, I had assumed my issue was caused by brushing too hard. But what she said made sense, since the dangers of SLS were already on my radar. {Read More}
