It just seems like yesterday when I used to rock Mr. Man four in the morning and Kate and me were so sleep deprived that we couldn’t see or think straight. It also seems like yesterday when I could hold him in the palms of my hands. Unbelievably, he is now almost 30 lbs and…

Have you ever noticed when your four-legged best friend gets up from a good long nap, it yawns and stretches out? Well, there is a name for that, it is called pandiculation. Pandiculation is a way your Fido instinctively resets his muscles after being still for a long time. So how does that help…

It seems to me, from the reading I have done so far, that equestrian sports are far more demanding than first meets the eye.

It has been week 12 of my IF experiment; boy, the time has flown by. During the last three months a few momentous things have occurred: My 9 month-old baby boy has gone from wearing 12 months clothing to 18 months. Kate’s weight has dropped down to 111lbs from chasing Mr. Man (Christopher) around the…

Ever since I made the change to one “clean” meal and a nightly carb-up, I’ve been falling asleep after my evening meal like Goldilocks. My redheaded intern has been suffering from the same food coma (some call it a “carb coma”) phenomenon himself. I knew part of the reason we’ve been going into a comatose…
