Keeping track of medical information for each household member is a daunting task. When you have family members who are under the care of a general practitioner or pediatrician, as well as specialty doctors, it gets even more complicated. Between appointments, medications and other documents, you have a lot of records. Multiply that by the […]
Road Trip Time!
This weekend we are heading to Jacksonville, Florida for my father-in-law’s wedding. This will be all of the kids’ first official trip to Florida (although Aubrey was in my belly the very first time!) We will be driving (no, not my idea at all!) and 3 out of 4 kids have been or are sick. […]

National Depression Screening Day October 11
Most Americans are familiar with depression and do not attach a stigma to seeking treatment for it from a therapist. In fact, most Americans believe that depression is treatable and go so far as to say it would not affect their vote in a presidential election if they heard that a candidate had consulted a […]

Potential for Iowa Tornadoes This Weekend
Well, it’s not the typical time for this type of storm in Iowa but when Reed Timmer says he’s coming your way, you take all things into consideration. Then again, living in Iowa, I should know you can be wearing flip flops one day and a parka the next. I was tagged on Facebook today […]
When Mommy’s sick…
When Mommy’s sick the house turns to chaos. “Go lay down, you’re sick and you need rest.” “I NEED HELP!” Appointments need scheduled, Mommy’s got work to do. And right now I’m as useful as a bump on a log. I need to get over sick FAST. Excuse me while I go crawl into a […]

The Value of a Tummy Tuck
Becoming a mother is probably the single most beautiful thing you can do in life; nothing else opens the windows of your soul to all that matters quite like it. But, you are still a woman and owe it to yourself to keep some of the attention focused on the self. Although your entire focus […]

The words no mother wants to hear.
Today Lucas had his first orthotics appointment for cranial band treatment for plagiocephaly. I walked in worried to begin with and I left terrified and in tears. We have hit a hard road with my health and the closest location for treatment 45/60 minutes away. Appointments for the first month appear to be every week […]

Does your Family get the Flu Shot?
More and more, I think we’ve all heard the controversy both ways when it comes to vaccinating our children. While my children get all of their regular well-child vaccines (some delayed so they aren’t in overload), I have found myself questioning more and more some of the “yearly vaccines”. I used to regularly get flu […]
We Will Never Forget…
11 years ago. I first heard of what was happening in my 9th Grade Spanish class. It didn’t seem real. The typical jokers were making comments until it all became real. This was no small plane that hit the World Trade Centers. Many lost their lives on September 11th, 2001. And it is a day […]
