Pin It There was a time when fashion and maternity just didn't go together. Today that is a thing of the past with so many designers hopping on board the maternity train and giving us preggos gorgeous clothing choices. But it comes with a price tag. I don't want to wear sweats and baggy shirts every day and this is a time when your body is … [Read more...]
Meningococcal disease, also called meningitis, is a very serious disease that causes infection of the membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. My husband had Encephalitis as a child (which is similar to Meningitis) and it was incredibly scary. Meningitis can affect people of all ages, but it is especially serious in teens, children … [Read more...]
*scratch scratch* Those are words that no one ever wants to hear. Lice. When you do your immediate reaction is how? Where did they come from? Honestly with kids there is just no telling. In my own personal situation we either gave them to our family in Ohio or them to us. We have 2 in public schools, 2 in preschool, and an adventurous … [Read more...]

Yes, I know that is not the correct way to start a sentence, but humor me here :) This one time at Sears, when I was picking up my dad's eyeglasses, I started getting flushes. Really, really flushed. My dad has a hard time getting out … [Read more...]

You have to treat adult acne differently than you do the typical teenage variety. Unfortunately, most … [Read more...]
ADULT ACNE LASER TREATMENT Written by Kiersten, contributor When I was a teenager, I had perfect skin. I used to babysit for a woman who would ooh and ahh over it and ask me what I used to get such a flawless complexion. It was a little bit creepy and I didn't quite know how to answer because, really? I didn't do much. My secret … [Read more...]
I am so mad I can hardly see straight right now. Mad for my husband, mad at his doctor. About two years ago, he found a doctor he really likes. She listened well, had a caring side, and seemed genuinely nice. She is also the same doctor that my dad also sees, and he loves her. My hubby had some blood work done awhile back and it was … [Read more...]

Restless Legs Syndrome I am sure you have all heard of Restless Legs Syndrome by now...the commercials have brought awareness to this horrible, creepy thing. I have been plagued by RLS for many, many years now, but until recently there was not a name for it - at least not a name that I knew about. When I saw the commercials I let out a big … [Read more...]
