The Happiest Little Elf
It’s that time of year again. With what feels like the blink of an eye, we’re back to celebrating the holiday season. It seems that with each passing year, as the kids get older, this special time of year seems to roll around faster and faster. I don’t know about you, but I dread the day when the kiddies no longer scamper down the stairs on Christmas morning and squeal with delight at the sight of presents under the tree. I never want the magic to end! Somewhere around mid-December of last year, my family was ready for Christmas, but it wasn’t quite ready for us. The tree has been…

The daily activities that were scheduled for the young and old (well, more like middle aged) alike kept us all hopping.

Just Call Me “Fish Killer”
By: Michele Kelly MS, RD, CDE My daughter Ava, took home a guppy from kindergarten before summer vacation. We named her Molly. She was the third fish we received, the first two died (turns out you have to be a biochemist to keep a fish alive!) So, our one little fish, Molly was placed in her tank on the counter in the kitchen near the sink, with her cute Sponge Bob decorations. Let me tell you, this was one hungry guppy. She would literally stare at me while I was doing the dishes begging for food. After I fed her she would peck at the bottom looking for scraps.…
