The third Thursday in October is National Get Smart About Credit Day. Super exciting stuff, right?! Maybe to those of us that get super nerdy about money and numbers. But to most people, credit is a big, bad, scary...

I will never forget the words the doctor said – “I’m so sorry, we can’t find a heartbeat.” I was 8 weeks pregnant with our first child and having my first prenatal appointment.  The doctors estimated that our fetus had stopped...

Have you considered getting the breast cancer tests?  I am not talking about mammograms.  You know the tests I'm talking about - BRCA1 and BRCA2.  Those are some pretty scary letters.  When you think of the testing that those...

October is here and we are gearing up for Halloween! This rundown will be full of spooky (or not so spooky) events! I said last month that the weather would be cooling off; that was obviously incorrect information! Hopefully...

When thinking about our own health it is important to remember that health comes from the inside out. The “perfect body” is an evolving image. When I was in my teens it was a flat Britney Spears stomach you obtained by a “fat...
