3 Must-Have Health Screening for Women

I received an email from Dede yesterday...and I had to write this post to all of you.  I went for my first routine colonoscopy when I turned 50…and a couple of years ago I had my second…they usually tell you to have one at age 50…and, if everything looks good, another ten years later.  I will tell you that the prep stuff I had to drink the night before the first time was yucky!  The prep…See More

"You're so right about that. I'm constantly teaching my daughter everywhere we go: the post office, the library, the park. Funny, but repetition is one of the ways to learn but it doesn't have to be boring and tedious."

Is Your Child Ready for Preschool?

Image via Wikipedia I speak with parents of preschoolers all the time. One of the questions that I hear very frequently is, “I want to send my child to preschool.  How do I know if he (or she) is ready?”There are several key indicators we can look at that will help us answer that question.  You need to observe your child…See More

Thanks Vivian!

I appreciate your post and have featured it. Someone encouraged me to write about what I went through and probably will. Four colonscopies in 3 months was not fun but I cannot imagine the alternative.

We tend to forget about taking care of our health, especially when we are feeling well. Hope to see you more here. I am trying to take more time here and fortunately now have a bit more time!

Enjoy your week and hope to chat soon:)
