Well, I am super excited to see that Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament in Buena Park, they think all moms are special. That’s why Mom is free* for…

What’s For Dinner? Spinach, Cheese and Bacon Frittata
This is my go-to meal when I am not sure what to make for dinner. It is really easy to put together and you probably already have the ingredients in your refridgerator so no need for an extra trip to the grocery store! That’s always a plus in my book! You can use a pie crust if you are looking for a more hearty meal but I prefer the crustless frittata since you are tasting the eggs, spinach and bacon more without the crust. But both are great meals for a special day such as Mother’s Day and easy enough for the kids to help out with. Enjoy! …

The Teen Hearing Loss Epidemic
Hearing loss in teens is becoming an epidemic in this country, with 1 in 5 teenagers measured as experiencing some form of hearing loss in 2010 (the date of the most recent study). My guess is that the numbers are much higher today given the ubiquitous use of earbuds and the frequent exposure that children have to loud noise at parties, movies and other venues. This is of tremendous concern to me because I have an adult-onset genetic hearing loss, and I worry that I may have passed it onto my two children. We won’t know for 15 years or so, but I require my children to protect their…
