So, here we go again. What does your list consist of this year? If being interviewed by Barbara Walters, we may all weep openly and say we want nothing more than achieving a radiant state of pure zen enlightenment and world peace. Secretly, however, vowing to attend spin class three times a week and losing those pesky 15 pounds probably ranks a little higher on the list. So why are these same goals,... 12/27/2015 10:00:00 PM

What Is Your Toddler Really Thinking?
by Paul Hollinger
About Me View My Posts
Kids may say the darndest things—but toddlers seem to have the market cornered on defiant expressions of opinion. Your once sweet—but inarticulate—baby turns into a fountain of “No!” Sometimes, it may sound as if your two-year-old doesn’t like you much anymore: “No.” “Go Away!” “Mine!” “Stop!” But toddlers aren’t looking to make you mad. They’re just not yet fully fluent—at 24 months they only have... 12/24/2015 8:00:00 AM

by Steven Wright
About Me View My Posts
What if today’s common “healthy habits” are actually hurting you? Because as history shows us it has happened many times before. Did you know in the 1920’s cigarettes were considered healthy? Lucky Strike was the biggest brand back then and their advertising campaigns featured doctors. If you did, I doubt you knew that throughout the 1930’s and 1940’s serious medical journals like “The New England... 12/19/2015 10:00:00 PM

About Me View My Posts
The hustle and bustle of the holidays is upon us and the parties, family gatherings and the like are keeping us pretty busy. We feel the coolness in the air, and the beauty of nature this time of year. It seems like a rebirth of sorts, as the earth prepares for the slumber of winter and the birth of spring. We even notice that people seem friendlier, and we somehow forget the frustration we have with... 12/12/2015 8:00:00 AM

Tired of the Same Old Holiday Gifts? (Try These Ideas)
by David Pollock
About Me View My Posts
Is it just me or does it get more and more difficult every year to find those special gifts that stand apart from the traditional mall fodder as unique or original?A candle even for a candle lover seems predictable, overdone and just plain blah after so many seasons of giving. The same can be said for bath sets, food baskets, calendars, etc. For many of us the decision to "keep it modest this year"... 12/2/2015 8:00:00 AM

The presents are all open. The living room is a wreck. The new trike is on its side in the hall. The tree is dropping pine needles on the wrapping that hasn't been picked up. Two toys are already broken. Dad's sweater is too scratchy. You've come to grips with the fact that your MasterCard bill totals four house payments. Your oldest daughter likes none of her new clothes. The whole family is exhausted... 12/1/2015 8:00:00 AM

About Me View My Posts
People talk about the ‘Freshman 15’ – which is the weight gain associated with starting college -- but what about the ‘Holiday 10?’ I am talking about the potential pounds you can gain from overindulging during holiday celebrations. From the stuffing and pies at Thanksgiving, to the Christmas cookies and New Year’s Eve buffets and cocktails, the holidays are full of potential land mines designed to... 11/28/2015 10:00:00 PM

​Don’t be SAD or Depressed This Holiday Season
by Clark Bartram
About Me View My Posts
It's that time of year. Halloween has just passed, the once abundant supply of Snickers bars, lollipops and Tootsie Rolls now nothing more than empty wrappers and the eclectic mixture of smells in a pillowcase. Now we have Thanksgiving, Christmas and a season's worth of birthdays to contend with as we try to navigate our way to a healthier body. However, lurking under all of these obvious triggers... 11/25/2015 8:00:00 AM
