I recently shared my shock at discovering that one in six children, in my own state of Nebraska, are considered food insecure. Nationally, more than sixteen million American kids, (under the age of eighteen), are unable to consistently access adequate amounts of nutritious food necessary for a healthy life. Does that not blow your mind?!!? [...]
What does it mean to be food insecure? In simple terms, those who are food insecure have no idea when, or from where, there next meal is coming. They don’t have consistent access to the nutritious food which is necessary to maintain a healthy lifestyle. As difficult as things have become in our current economy, [...]
Our family loves to host movie nights with our friends and their families! We especially enjoy when the movie is something that old and young, alike, can enjoy together. Cars 2 fits that description perfectly! Combine that with some great gifts and educational material from Crest and Oral B and you have the makings of [...]
Well, it’s official. It’s winter. We had our first heavy snow, this week, hand-in-hand with the first head colds and sore throats of the season. Dry furnace air and having the house closed up through cold winter months always seems to bring on all the uncomfortable symptoms of the common cold. I have my favorite [...]
You’ve probably seen the TV commercials, just like me. Proactiv has been around for years, now, and testimonials from faces we all recognize make it clear that the results can be pretty amazing. While my issues have never been severe, it seems like flareups always manage to happen at the most inconvenient times and products [...]
I’m sure you all remember that I have been testing Arm and Hammer’s Spinbrush Pro Clean electric toothbrush. After four weeks, using the battery operated toothbrush, I’m sold. As a matter of fact, I went out and bought these toothbrushes for every member of our family. That’s huge! We don’t just spend money on every [...]
As much as I love cooking and baking, my husband enjoys eating what I make. Because of lactose intolerance and digestive problems, that hasn’t been as easy for him over the last few years. Eating the foods he loves most, often results in terrible pain and discomfort, even preventing him from being able to sleep. [...]
Good dental habits can save your family time and money, in the long run. Instilling these good habits in your children will provide them a lifetime of good oral health AND set them on a common sense frugal path, as well. Electric toothbrushes are a good value over time. They prevent brushing “too hard” which [...]
If you have anyone in your family with digestive problems and/or lactose intolerance, you will understand when I say that those things can have a huge impact on your every day life. Foods that are healthy and able to be tolerated by thousands of other people, without even a second thought, can set you or [...]
Stop to consider the plastics that touch your family’s mouths and food every day — plastic bottles with water, soda, juices, sippy cups, baby bottles, plastic dinnerware, serving bowls, cereal bowls, drinking cups, coffee mugs, the containers we buy food in at the store. If those items all have a measure of BPA and the [...]
