This is a sponsored post. It goes without saying you should take precautions bringing ANY baby home, but after having two babies in the NICU, I'm pretty much in the handwashing groove. I actually hate the smell of surgical soap. Not that I think you should wash your hands with surgical soap at home, but there are lots of simple steps you can take to help keep your baby, and the rest of your … [Read more...]
Last week I had lunch with my fabulous contact at AT&T. In addition to a great lunch we talked about what we could do for you all, my readers! One of the things that came up was new years resolutions to get fit, and the tools available to help people get and stay on track. Fitbit is the simplest way to get more fit during your busy life, whether you’re looking to lose weight, continue your … [Read more...]
We always think about handrails, doorknobs and shaking hands during the flu season. But did you know that viruses are known to live on inanimate objects like phones. Yes. Your phone. That thing glued to your ear.You know how you let your co-worker use it earlier today? Guess what, they have the flu and now their flu germs are on your phone. Pretty gross right? So how do you help … [Read more...]
I don’t know about you, but I have good intentions of living well. You know, drinking those 8 glasses of water a day, getting my fruits and vegetables, vitamins and making sure I get enough exercise.

It said "Please wash your hands before touching mine." It was unbelievable the amount of people who would read the sign, comment on what a good idea it was and then REACH IN TO TOUCH QUINCY. … [Read more...]

It's so compact it's easy to store. I love love love it for figuring out weights of ingredients. It's way easier than getting out a calculator and trying to figure out volume vs. grams. Did I mention math is NOT my strong … [Read more...]
Be honest... Do you? What about mouthwash? Did you know but brushing alone misses the germs in 75% of your mouth! 75%!! Seems like a pretty good reason to incorporate flossing and a therapeutic mouthwash to your daily routine, doesn't it? In order to get my son to brush his teeth, we sing a silly song and use a flavored toothpaste. Sometimes it's a battle and sometimes its not. My … [Read more...]
Let's talk braces. As in, 1980's braces. The ones I had for 4 years. Complete with headgear and ill fitting retainer. FOUR YEARS. Have I mentioned my teeth aren't straight? The thing is, even as an adult, it's not too late for braces, but what's even better is that now there are companies like Damon Braces that have new systems that are far more attractive (if braces could be attractive) … [Read more...]
