For almost a month now we've been talking about ways to water our bodies and feed our souls -- but when it comes to water, do we really know how much we need? The age-old standard is to drink eight 8-oz glasses of fluids a day, but that's just a guideline for an average adult living in a temperate climate. The actual number depends on quite a few factors, including weight, activity level, the climate in which you live, whether you're pregnant or breastfeeding, and so on. Check out this hydration...

Living Positively
Three weeks ago I turned thirty-nine. I'm not one of those people who dreads turning forty (that's one good thing about having a husband who's fourteen years your senior -- you never feel old), and though there's a lot I still want to do in life, I don't feel like I missed out on so many things in my youth that I need to make up for it with a midlife crisis. But milestone birthdays are always a great excuse for me to take stock of my life and see what needs changing. So I'm using the advent of...

When my twins were little we used to joke about how they needed to be "let out" to run around and get their wiggles out, every single day, rain or shine, as if they were puppies. The day was just not complete until they had a chance to get outside and play. We don't live near a park, so on cold days I was only too happy to open the door...
Staying Well with Walgreens this Winter
This is a compensated review from BlogHer and Walgreens.
We've just come back from a 3-day ski trip at Tahoe, and it's amazing how much stuff you need to pack just for 3 days. Part of it, of course is all the extra gear and paraphernalia you need when you go out in the snow, and another part of it is traveling with a fussy Englishman who refuses to give up his endless daily cups of tea. But there's the stuff you can't really avoid, like clothes and shoes and toiletries and medicines -- and given...
Morning Rituals
This is sponsored content by BlogHer and Kelloggs.Morning rituals can be soothing, like a cup of coffee. They can be energizing, like a sunrise yoga session or a morning run. They can be loving, like my son tiptoeing into our bedroom to snuggle under the covers with mom and dad. They can be ordinary, like the bowl of cereal my kids eat every single day. And they can even be super, out-of-this-world scary... and fun.
One of my favorite annual events is the Halloween Breakfast that the kids' school...
Are You Ready for Halloween?
This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Pop-Tarts.
I can't believe Halloween is less than a week away. It's scary how time flies! But I think we're ready: house is decorated, the candy has been purchased, and most important of all, we have their costumes put together.
Costumes are my favorite part of Halloween. I guess I'm just a big kid at...
Goodness Comes in a Bowl
This is sponsored content by BlogHer and Kelloggs.We recently bought a new dishwasher, and one of the things I like best about it is that it has plenty of space for bowls. It's surprising how many bowls we go though during the day. When I cook, I like to put my ingredients in neat little bowls, like they do on all the cooking shows. I use bowls to mix, microwave, serve and store our food. Oh, and we eat from bowls too!When the kids were younger, they used bowls exclusively; the sides of the...
Halloween Fun with Choc-O-Lantern Pop-Tarts
This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Pop-Tarts.
When Pop-Tarts and BlogHer asked me to create a recipe using Limited Edition Choc-o-Lantern Pop-Tarts, they had no idea what kind of monster they were unleashing. Halloween happens to be my thing, and every year I enjoy cooking up a fun Halloween showpiece for our annual Halloween party.
To get started, I thought about which Halloween icon Pop-Tarts most resembled, and the answer was easy: a tombstone! However, Pop-Tarts is one step ahead...
The Secret to a Great Breakfast
This is sponsored content by BlogHer and Kelloggs.We eat 365 breakfasts every year, and about 300 of them involve cereal and milk. At that rate, you'd think we'd be sick of cereal and milk by now. The truth is, we can't get enough of cereal and milk! We have a huge assortment of cereals in our cupboard so everyone has a wide variety to choose from...
