The Tooth Story

Sorry if this grosses anybody out. I’ve been through it this week and feel the need to share. Last summer, my dentist told me I needed a root canal in my top right bicuspid. I talked with Dr P about it, because he has always maintained that root canals are bad, bad news. Apparently there [...]

Swine Flu Vaccine

Watch this. It’s a 60 Minutes documentary on the effects of the Swine Flu vaccine in 1976. It was aired one time and never again. Any of this sound familiar? Often, people who are anti-vaccination are accused of being fearful, using fear to persuade people of their opinions. That’s true in some cases. However, watch [...]

The Last Resort

Staci referred me to this website. People often ask me about where to start to get healthy, or how to feed their family right. This article has the steps – the place to start. The author is very no-nonsense, and he doesn’t really tolerate whining. I’ve only read a couple of articles on the website [...]

Circadian Rhythm

I found this article very interesting today. It gives tons of info and then says our bodies are made to sleep from 10pm to 6am. It also says to sleep in a pitch black room. I’ve heard these things before, but in light of the fact that Nick and I often go to bed late [...]

Each of my kids has only been on antibiotics once in their lives because of this stuff. There are many people who say it’s dangerous and they refuse to use [...]

Diet for moms

Betcha thought this post was about how to lose weight. Well, it’s not. Kim at Starry Sky Ranch posted a series a while back about Home Management Notebooks. This, I have found, is a secret of moms with lotsa kids. They don’t keep it all in their heads – they write out everything they know. [...]

It’s cloudy outside

And Hannah’s watching Elmo. Again. I have to teach a piano lesson today. Just the one. The only one I’ve taught in three weeks. Nobody wants to take lessons during the summer. We all have runny noses. It’s clear, so hopefully it won’t be a big deal. (I’m sorry, was that more than you wanted [...]
