One of my friends from high school recently had her first baby. I follow her posts and noticed that she had mentioned cord blood banking. I wish I had done that with my babies, but didn’t have as much knowledge about it then as we do now. Thanks to LifebankUSA, parents can have the peace […]...

For the last few years I’ve slowly transitioned into a runner. Do I love to run? No. Well, not when I’m running, but I like the feeling of accomplishment when I’m done. Typically, I try to run a few times a week usually completing 3-mile runs. But running tends to get boring. That’s why I […]...

Do you shop at Tobacco-Free Retailers? I definitely make an effort to do so. So why should you shop Tobacco-Free? What’s the cost of not shopping Tobacco-Free? Tobacco not only has health costs, but also financial costs. I was shocked by how much cigarettes cost in stores now. Some are as much as $8.00 a […]...

I’m still trying to catch up on my hiking posts from the past few months. Finding the time, as I’m sure we all can attest to, seems harder and harder as the kids get older with all of their extracurricular activities…but I’ll save that for future posts because I digress and need to stay focused […]...

Growing up, I was surrounded by smoke. One set of my parents smoked on a regular basis around me. They smoked in the car and in the backyard, but not in the house. However, I was constantly in the midst of smoke. I did not like it at all, but as a kid, what could […]...

Last year I wrote about “Living with Multiple Sclerosis” and I left off needing to go in for more tests. Well, these last 12 months have been an emotional and physical roller coaster for me.

When we get a cut or scrape, typically we clean it and put a bandage on it. Well, that bandage will only work if it stays on, right? Swimming, dirt and sweat often causes bandages to loosen, allowing dirt and germs to get into the wound. Not with the Nexcare Waterproof Bandages. See how Nexcare […]...
