The New Year means new beginnings right?  Everyone is drawn to the idea of starting fresh and moving forward in a new direction.  This is part of the beauty of our world, every day we choose….what to wear, what to eat for breakfast, should I go to spin class or yoga, who to carpool with, etc. Sometimes I get so busy thinking about …

Your kids have no problem lounging on the couch to watch TV.  In fact, it drives you crazy how often they want to do it.  You feel like there are so many things to do and you never have time to just sit and relax. Did you ever think that maybe your kids are on to something?  Why is it …

You have a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach because today is the day your son is supposed to stand up in front of the school and sing “Jingle Bells” with his 1st grade class.

This is something I hear too often!  As a mom of four daughters (ages 2, 4, 6, and 8) it seems the human instinct for fairness is a daily consideration in our house.  Whether it be same number of stories read to her, same number of underdog pushes on the swing or same amount of M&M treats for potty training …

These days it is hard not to hear about Genetically Modified Organisms, or GMOs. The label appears in nutrition books, blog articles, grocery store shelves and may even pop up on your child’s school lunch menu. So what is the deal with GMOs and where do we primarily find them? Corn and Soybeans are found in virtually every isle of …
