The popularity of acupuncture is increasing in the United States. As more insurance policies cover acupuncture treatment and more doctors refer patients to acupuncturists for complementary care, this can be seen. Acupuncture is a traditional therapy that has been used for thousands of years. It can be used as a standalone treatment or in conjunction […]
Holiday weekends are always hard to say goodbye to. I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s missing family time, stress-free days, late game nights, and an endless supply of delicious leftovers. It’s nice knowing that we only have a couple more weeks before Christmas (which I get to spend with my entire family for […]
By now I would guess that most of you are back in school-mode, whether for yourself, spouse, or kids. It sure doesn’t seem like fall is insight here with crazy humidity, hot temperatures and AC that doesn’t work. Oh, and our ice maker is broken too. I think these last weeks of summer are out […]
Being pregnant with baby #2 has brought back a lot of memories of my first few months with Johnny. My life has never changed so drastically as it did in those couple months. I experienced love, happiness, and exhaustion on completely new levels. I also experienced breastfeeding for the first time. I loved my experience […]
My poor little guy is sick with his first ear infection. We finally visited the doctor yesterday and he’s on antibiotics now so I’m hoping he’s on the mend! Winter is rough, especially for little kids. I try hard to keep germs away but I can only do so much. I’ve been thinking a lot […]
When we first got married I made bruschetta chicken all the time. And every time I made it we loved every bite. Fast forward a few years and add the stress of a kid, a cross-country move, and a husband in dental school and you’ll find that some things got lost along the way. Our […]
There are so many diets right now that it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, discouraged, or even bombarded with conflicting information. Not to mention all the health trends that can leave you feeling like your diet must be awful if you aren’t drinking bone broth or eating kale at every meal. For those of you who […]
Does anyone else feel super guilty tossing out old veggies that never got eaten? I always have incredible intentions to use veggies throughout the week but somehow always end up throwing a handful out because we didn’t get to them in time. Please tell me I’m not the only mom/dietitian with this problem!! A few weeks ago […]
This week I’ve been thinking (procrastinating) about baking some goodies for a few families who go to our church. I want to make something delicious and seasonal but am hesitant to bake an unhealthy holiday treat. I’m the first to admit that most of my favorite, traditional holiday recipes fall in the unhealthy category. Being […]
34 weeks down and 6 to go! Time sure flies when you’re having fun… or at least making preparations for bringing another human being into your family to take care of for the rest of your life. Same thing right? I wish I could snap my fingers and have this baby in my arms right now, […]
