The first step in settling all of these emotions is acknowledging them and then taking action. It’s essential to listen to the demands of your body: take a nap when you need to, nourish yourself with a variety of whole colorful foods, and possibly take some supplements to keep you strong and healthy. 1. Keep Hydrated This is extremely important, especially if you are nursing, as approximately 90% of breast milk is water and dehydration may lead to fatigue, poor concentration, constipation…

Ideas for a Dragon-themed Party!
A few years back when the previews were showing for the new How to Train Your Dragon movie my daughter and I couldn’t wait to see it! We even hosted a dragon-themed birthday party the year the first movie came out and have some fun ideas you can use for your next party. This past month, Netflix aired their original series Dragons: Race to the Edge and introduces some of the most exciting dragons yet, each with its own amazing abilities — shock waves, cannon balls and fire blasts, just to name a few. With the magical Dragon Eye, an artifact Hiccup finds aboard an abandoned ship, Hiccup learns there is more outside the confines of Berk, and that…

Health :: Finding the Fountain of Youth
A few weeks back I was having lunch with a good friend and she was talking about how she was trying to get her son to drink less soda. He was having some health issues and I mentioned to her about a book that I was required to read in my Masters in Human Nutrition program called Your Body’s Many Cries for Water, and suggested that he try to replace a soda a day with more water – replace one soda can with one more glass of water. This really is one of the best health books you can read concerning your health and I can’t say enough of how it…

I cannot imagine a day without artmaking, a day without color. This is how I unwind and de-stress. I often end my day with drawing, coloring and painting in my art journal. Have fun with this page! Use any materials you like,…
