Parenting :: Tips for Celebrating Mini-Milestones
As we get older, milestones are few and far between. Landing our dream job, getting married, having a baby. But kids, on the other hand, are just starting to reach large and mini-milestones! From bringing home their first pet to going to their first high school dance, frame-worthy moments go far beyond the baby book. I still can remember the first day of high school like it was yesterday – and even what I wore! Many of these mini-milestones stick with you for years to come. Like my first dance in junior high. I went with one of the cutest boys in school (at least I thought so… and most of the girls did too). …

Tips from “The Sleep Doctor” Dr. Breus to Help Children Sleep
When my daughter was little, I was very anxious about her getting her daily naps. I knew that if she didn’t get that time she would be over tired and thus cranky (who wouldn’t be?) and usually meant she would go to bed too early and wake up too early. Not a fun schedule to be on! But sometimes children don’t want to get on a sleep schedule which can make for a difficult time for already tired parents. Here are some tips from Clinical psychologist Dr. Michael Breus, one of the nation’s top sleep experts, who offers some advice to parents! Tips On Helping Children Sleep …

SafeFARE Aims to Make Dining Out Safer for those with Food Allergies
When my daughter was six months old, she started to get really bad eczema on her neck down to her thighs. It was so bad I would get looks from other moms who I imagined were thinking what was I doing or not doing to help her! It took months to figure out what her allergens were, so I know firsthand how frustrating it can be trying to figure out what foods one has avoid. We ended up going to see Dr. Weinand of Neurowaves after her pediatrician, Dr. Bob Sears, recommended we give his alternative treatment a chance. And I must say it worked!

Today, with over 120…
