From summer reading lists to summer activities for the kids to summer wardrobe essentials for us, there sure are a lot of must haves. While it would be nice to build that fort, or read that book, or wear that dress, it’s not always possible. (As if summer break actually means take a break for moms). Fortunately for me, however, (and now you!), I’ve teamed up with a new app that is a health and safety must-have that’s easy for anyone to get and use. LiveHealth Online is an app that offers a safe, fast and easy way for moms to talk face-to-face with a doctor to get a diagnosis and ...Read More

A few days before the New Year, I asked Peter if he had any resolutions. He was silent. “Babe, any? Any resolutions this year?” “Nope,” he yawned. “I’m good. You?” Ha. Of course he had none. He’s a guy and  well, “perfect.” Me?
