Tips for Raising a Good Dog
I’ve mentioned that I grew up with pets my whole life. There were always a few cats and dogs, with a couple goldfish around the house and one year we had around 15 animals in our home. Yikes right?! Our Standard Poodle, Heidi, had some puppies so our house was pretty hectic. But I wouldn’t change any of that chaos as to this day I adore my furry family and really do look at them as part of our family. But just like raising good kids, we need to make sure we take the time to teach our pets, especially dogs, to be a good family member. I have studied dog trainer…

Years back, I was talking with a friend and we started talking about one of my favorite quotes “Nothing is more important than your health.” We had a long discussion about how we tend to take…

Prevention Key In Fight Against Breast Cancer – Part 1
Prevention is really the answer to winning the war on breast cancer. What you are about to read are the scientifically proven methods of dramatically reducing your risk of breast cancer. Recent studies have identified a superstar of breast cancer prevention – vitamin D. Women with higher levels of vitamin D have a reduced cancer risk of 50% or more for most cancers including breast. Vitamin D protects against cancer by helping the body regain control over genes that regulate cellular proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis (death of defective cells).

Fitness :: Exercise Regimes for a Healthy Lifestyle
As moms sometimes there is not enough time to fit in an exercise regime. Becoming a parent doesn’t put a halt to the complexities of life. There are the regular responsibilities of shopping, working, and cleaning. That alone can make fitting in daily or weekly exercise a hassle, but then there’s the parent responsibilities that you love and at times kind of don’t love that seem to suck away the rest of your time. By the time you get a free moment, you might not feel like exercising that time away. Unfortunately exercise should be considered just as vital to you as feeding the kids or cleaning the house.
