He's 5 today

Happy Birthday to my baby boy!! How can he be 5 already?? It seems like just yesterday he was born. I still think of him as my "baby" but clearly he is not. He's moved on from baby, toddler, preschooler and in the fall he'll be a Kindergartener. Time flies by too quickly. I just want to slow it down.

Just like the song, you are my sunshine.

I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day! Happy Birthday Sweet Boy.

I have 2 posts for WEGO health:


1. Check out my interview with Peanut Free Mama! You can find it HERE. And leave me a comment and let me know what you think. Or if you are a health activist and would like to be interviewed, let me know that too.

2. WEGO Health has a Twitter Power Tools Webinar at 8 pm EST on July 9th. It's free and open to all health activists. I attended the webinar last month and I highly recommend it if you use Twitter or are thinking of using Twitter. The presenter, Shwen Gwee is excellent (@shwen). It's 45 minutes long with 15 minutes for Q and A at the end.

(This will be a sticky post until July 9th. Scroll down for new posts)

Just checking in

Yes, I'm still here. I'm feeling much better, just busy!

Older Boy is at Scout Camp this week and I had to work it on Monday. Otherwise I'm just trying to get caught up on things.

The Little Man's birthday is tomorrow and even though his party isn't until Tuesday, I still need to do a "family party" tomorrow night. I've been getting that together and still planning for the party on Tuesday.

You can find me at Everyday Health today.

And I just want to remind you that if you are a health activist (which I know many of you are) and you Twitter or are looking at getting into Twitter, WEGO Health is putting on a free Twitter webinar tomorrow at 8 pm EST. You can find out more information and how to registar HERE. Don't forget it's FREE! So sign up. You know you want to. All the cool kids are doing it....

That's all for now. The kids are asking for lunch :)

Happy Fourth of July

This blog has been interrupted by the stomach flu. I've been struggling with it all week and finally just gave up and crawled into bed on Thursday. So while everyone else is outside enjoying fireworks and BBQ, I'll be in bed enjoying DIY Networks sizzling summer weekend and ginger ale. The good news is that I think I can now refurb our bathroom and build an outdoor kitchen.

Dear Landscapers...

Whatever you get paid. It's not enough. You all deserve a raise.

My bushes are trimmed, things are mostly cleaned up, but I TOTALLY DIDN'T ENJOY DOING IT. In fact, at one point, I thought I might die (not literally, but it sure felt like it). And if the King of Dirt is ever in the Cleveland area and in need of some pro bono work, please feel free to stop by. There's much more to do.

Happy Monday :)

Allergy to insect stings: a summer time hazard

Luckily, no one in our family has a severe or anaphylactic reaction to insect stings. My mother says she does, but I've never seen it and I suspect that she has localized allergic reactions like I do (or I'm sure that someone would have given her epinephrine to carry at some point in her life).

Signs of anaphylaxis from a stinging insect are: Difficulty breathing, dizziness, shortness of breath, fainting, swelling of the mouth or tongue, difficulty speaking. These symptoms can be deadly. It's i… Continue

The future of healthcare - letting the doctors weigh in

While surfing around my bloglines (blog reader) and Twitter and news sources this morning I couldn't help but notice a theme. Healthcare and the White House seem to be making a comeback as a hot topic. But instead of just finding out what is happening with healthcare reform in terms of what the White House is doing, it seems that more and more people are publishing views from the doctors perspective.

The first post that I read was from Suture for a Living… Continue

It's National Dairy Alternative Month

Why am I up all night?

For over a year now, I haven't been sleeping very well. It has reminded me of when my sons were first born. Only they aren't getting up all night. I am. I'll be forty in December and the doctor thinks that I could be experiencing symptoms of perimenopause. Thanks to fluctuating hormones, my sleep patterns seem to be off and you can read more about it here at Meno Pause Time. So what are some things you can d… Continue

Thanks! I have always wanted to write a book but haven't the slightest clue how to go about doing that, so I thought I would start another blog. I get a lot of good feedback when I go off topic from migraines ....we'll see what happens. At a minimum it's a good outlet.

Thanks Janeen. I feel very poorly this year as a result of seasonal hayfever and it is having a very negative impact on every aspect of my life. I'm here looking for suggestions by other who are suffering to this degree. Thanks!
