Hairstyles for Girls
Do you have a daughter with long hair? I took my daughter in for a trim the other day, and I was surprised at how thick soft her hair looked after the stylist was done. She tends to have thin hair, and since we live in hot, steamy Florida, we don’t typically use a hairdryer, […]
Baby Names: Choosing the Perfect One for Your Baby
When you’re pregnant, you hear a lot of questions. “When are you due?” “Do you know if it’s a boy or a girl?” “Where are you delivering?” Probably one of the most asked, though, is “have you picked out names yet?” Some parents-to-be share their chosen names with the world, and others keep it mum […]

Sometimes I do like watching the cake-decorating challenges on the cooking channels, though, and occasionally […]
Taking Care of You on National Doctor’s Day

According to Holiday Insights, the day began back in 1933 when Eudora Brown Almond created the holiday to commemorate the anniversary of the usage of general anesthesia in surgery. Nowadays, we take many of our current medical advances for granted, but of […]

Spring Cleaning Safety Tips
It’s that time of year again… time to open the windows and beat the dirt, grime and dust of winter out of the house, a practice commonly known as “spring cleaning.” Actually, spring cleaning used to be very important in the “old days,” when people had stoves for heat that tended to make everything sooty.
