Raising Strong Girls Together
By: Tara Alley. When we begin to think of the responsibility in feeding our daughters and not only meeting their nutritional needs and boosting their health but also helping them to enjoy and appreciate a variety of healthy foods, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. But, the good news is that with today’s information and variety, [...]
By: Mia Redrick. As women, we often feel that we have to take care of everyone, but the simple fact of the matter is that we can’t take care of others very well if we do not take care of ourselves. Self-care is not selfish, but rather a necessary part of caring for our family. [...]
By: Linda Brodsky, M.D. I am guilty! Yes, in my office sometimes I forget myself when I meet a new female patient, almost always a child. As I try to establish a rapport (with the child and family) sometimes I will slip and tell the 5 year old in a pink (my favorite color after [...]

The trick is to streamline your to-do’s so you can feel calmer [...]

I’ve had my fair share of groovin’ to The Wiggles, Disney Classics, and Kool & The Gang (yep, my daughters are 70′s/80′s music freaks just like their mama).
