Thoughts on Health… Our Lower Extremity joints: Hip, Knee and Ankle

Feelings are much like waves. We can’t stop them from coming, but we can choose which ones to surf. – Martensson Basically, I like to think of lower extremity pain and joint issues as standing on a surf board. You can’t move very far in any direction, you are limited by this surf board you are standing on. You aren’t walking, you are just standing your ground. Yet your life is moving forward, ever forward, on a big huge wave of energy. You don’t need to be mobile to realize that you are still gaining momentum and moving forward in […]

Family hiking trip

My daughter immediately rolled down the windows and soaked in the cool air, the first second we entered the mountains. My son loved the solitude of the woods, and was a master at following the markers and trail blazing the way. I promised I’d share some pictures from our recent family trip up to the NC mountains. We had one of our best trips ever. Something about the cool fresh air was so delightful, it was actually hard to come home. And that is one of the first times I’ve every really felt that way, because I am naturally a

My Favorite Thing… In My Daughter’s Room

My daughter is going to be turning 9 in two weeks… 9! Almost to the double digits, but luckily I get one more year before I have to face that. What she wants most this year is to re-do her bedroom… making it earthy and organic and painting the walls light brown, putting up a huge mural of a tree on one wall and a big fluffy bean bag chair in the corner. So, in preparation for her new room, I’m painting it this week. She picked the color… it’s Interactive Cream from Sherwin Williams, low-VOC paint. I was pushing

Natural Body Products and Tea… with a Give-a-way!

I first met Connie through a local natural mothers group here in Charleston. I tried her tea and I have not stopped drinking it since… years later, I can say without a doubt her teas are my favorite… ever! And the more I’ve gotten to know Connie, the more I love her… teas or not. She is just, absolutely an honest, true, dear soul, and I really respect everything she does. She homeschools two of her precious children (and one on the way! Congrats Connie!) and fills her days with creating equisite teas, delectable salt scrubs and moisturizers, doedarants, bath

Thoughts on Health… Loving my Daughter, Loving Myself

These preteen years are uncharted waters for me as a parent. I find that they bring up lots of intense emotions for me, and I wonder why. I am finding that loving my daughter, truly loving her, even in her angry pre-teen moments when she thinks she isn’t lovable, brings me a deep satisfaction and often moves me to tears. Don’t get me wrong… when I speak of my daughter being emotional I’m talking about a 15 minute spell of her feeling irritable and stand-offish… understandable when I take a look at her pre-teen body and all the changes that

Chocolate Chip cookie recipe… My Favorite Thing… in my Stomach?!?!

My two menfolk love cookies, especially chocolate chip. But my daughter… not so much. In fact, she won’t eat cookies in general. I thought all kids were supposed to love cookies… but guess she got some of this from me… I typically don’t like cake and ice cream. Even as a kid. So it became my mission to find a cookie that I could bake and have my *whole family* enjoy… my daughter included. Finally, after months of excruciating testing (not that my son or husband were complaining) I found a cookie that my daughter loves too! But in these
