November is all about the Smiles

Recently, wherever we go, my family has noticed that people are just not smiling. So I am dedicating the month of November to Smiles. We need more of them. They are contagious.

They have a massive campaign to change one light on your house. I strongly object to this campaign and called Wal-Mart directly with my objections to it. (not going in to my full objections here because that is not the point of this post. If anyone wants to discuss it with me directly just let me know. I'm happy to talk about it just not blog about it.). I have never felt more dismissed by anyone ever. My call was met with an OK by the perso

POWER FOODS ON THE ROAD * This past summer we logged thousands of miles moving kids to college, attending weddings, visiting relatives and just general commuting. The word "diet" was not even allowed this summer. It was hard enough to keep up with the calendar of events let alone think about what to eat or not to eat. But when you have a family to think about (several people with several different food preferences and allergies) you have to think about power foods to keep you energized through every adventure. Here are 5 tips I learned from our summer on the road to keep yourself healthy 1. KEEP IT SIMPLE Planning ahead can really help you keep it simple. I have had a love a
