Cold and flu season is in full swing, and with H1N1 running around all over the place, taking a few extra precautions to keep germs at bay is never a bad thing. I'm not saying you need to bathe yourself and your kids in hand sanitizer every few minutes. Washing your...
I recently picked up a copy of The Complete Book of Herbs by Lesley Bremness because I'm really interested in developing an herb garden. Actually, it will be sprawling container garden along with some things planted in our garden just because there are so many great...
Those of you who know me well and congratulated me last Thursday (or close to it) about my birthday, thank you once again. You're all too kind. Although this was one of those milestone birthdays when you enter a new decade, we did not decide to have a big party. Part...
I have so much to say these days, but my laptop has been standing in the way of my blogging progress. It's also been hampering a lot of work I need to do with my laptop. It's just not that easy to keep Mackenzie out of trouble in my office, and I can hardly move my PC...

They say deaths come in threes. But rarely have they all been such well-known celebrities like the last three: Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. Ed McMahon was an institution on the television when I was growing up. Always there beside Johnny Carson, the...
I think one of the biggest things that holds people back from working out is a lack of time. But if you go by the standard that just 15 minutes a day is enough to make an impact, don't you think you should be able to work that little block of time in somewhere?...
