Yesterday in our practice, I was intentionally focusing on all the good things going on. Due to the holiday this week, practice members’ schedules were all shuffled around, so I saw quite a few folks that don’t normally come in when I’m there.
Such a blessing.
At one point, our office was full of several wonderful families [...]
I don’t count calories.
I’m asked this question a LOT in our practice. Practice members will ask things like, “But how do you stay in good shape if you don’t know how many calories you’re consuming?”
I understand their well-intentioned concerns, but I don’t believe that calorie counting and physical fitness necessarily go hand-in-hand.
Let me clarify… of [...]
Yet again, the food industry has given us more reason NOT to trust them!
Check out this article detailing the specifics of a highly toxic, dangerous “protein” found in many of our commonly consumed foods. The main source of this specific problem appears to be China, but the US and Canada are not without fault.
It’s sad, [...]
Well, the season is fully upon us. No, I’m not talking about the holiday season… I’m talking about “Flu Season”! This season has become so aggressively promoted to the public with each passing year, I’m surprised we don’t have greeting cards for this as well!
So, what is a population to do? If the drug and [...]
There’s only one thing that has ever stopped a migraine in its tracks for me… that’s a Chiropractic adjustment. I’ve tried many other things, but none of them have worked.
Last night, right after dinner, I could feel that strange feeling you get right before a migraine begins. It had been months… no, more like a [...]
As I’ve been finalizing our family’s plans for Thanksgiving this year, I’ve come across several articles related to having a green Thanksgiving.
It’s nice – I like it! Lots of easy, yet meaningful tips and ideas.
It makes me wish we could “green up” everyday with such intention! All in due time, I suppose.
I’m including a couple [...]
In my own imaginary, ideal world, all the food would be “real” food and wouldn’t cause us any harm. Oh, and the big bosses in the food industry wouldn’t lie to us and feed us toxic garbage just to make a buck!
That’s my own little world, though!
Here’s yet another annoying, disturbing account of savvy marketing, [...]
A dear friend sent this story to me this week. She sent it out to several of her friends, so I don’t think she realized the personal connection it has for me in particular.
This week marks the one year anniversary of when I “lost” my best friend, my mom. This past year has been the [...]
Funny thing, that hind sight. It’s always right. It’s always consistent.
The other night, I re-read the post I had written about super moms and meltdowns. I was in a funk that day and was having a hard time regaining my balance. I had too many ‘plates spinning’ and was feeling overwhelmed. Any amount of sibling bickering [...]
Over the past several weeks, I’ve been a little surprised at some of the comments fellow moms have made to me after reading my posts on this site.
The part that’s so surprising is that I’ve apparently made the impression of being some kind of obnoxious “super mom”!
I’ve heard a similar string of comments made about [...]
Here in Michigan, we have the pleasure of experiencing 4 very distinct seasons. Ask me in February or March if I still consider it a “pleasure”! This fall, I’ve also been reminded that my exercise and fitness regime seems to have seasons as well!
For the past several weeks, my workouts have changed form. In the [...]
Yes, our kids both just went through some type of stomach virus last week. No, I won’t consider vaccinating them with the flu shot!
Unless, of course, I can read one truly scientific -unbiased- shred of evidence that can prove the safety and efficacy of the flu shot (or any other vaccine). Until then, no vaccine.
For [...]
