Dental health is important not only for adults but also for kids. In fact, starting good dental health habits early on plays an important role in overall health and wellbeing. Parents can learn how to teach toddlers and preschoolers about brushing their teeth and having healthy teeth in this two-part interview with Dr. Rhea Haugseth, [...]
I received the Ouch Pouch in the mail at the perfect time. The Ouch Pouch is a clever pouch designed to hold your first aid items when you are away from home. It comes in cute, trendy fabrics and is available to order from the Ouch Pouch site. My house is in chaos, due to [...]
I hate drug commercials – the kind that try to convince you that you need a pill for something with a list of side effects often sounding worse than the whatever-you-got-itis the magic pill was supposed to cure in the first place. But today I saw a commercial that surely took the cake. Enter Latisse. [...]
I think this lingering cough my children have is actually whooping cough. At least that’s what it sounds like in Evan especially – Brianna’s cough is less severe which makes sense as she is still nursing. And I know well and good they got it from the Dr’s office. I HATE taking my kids to [...]
We went to the doctor’s today because his cough got worse last night (i.e.4:30 in the am!!) and started sounding wheezy this morning. We all drug ourselves out of bed about 7:30 after an extremely restless and fitful night and bundle up and went straight our ped in McAlester, about 45 minutes away. After waiting [...]

Of course when she woke up Friday perfectly happy and content EVAN woke up at 2am crying and [...]
So Tuesday we celebrated Evan’s second birthday with a trip to Chuck E Cheese in Fort Smith with the Bellisario family. We went at 11:30 on a Tuesday afternoon….we had the place to ourselves practically! So much fun. Evan had a blast and got some nice presents from his Aunties and Uncles, including a bit [...]
Autism may be linked to mercury laden vaccines afterall: http://releases.usnewswire.com/GetRelease.asp?id=61781 A real shocker to anyone who’s done any reading on the subject at all. *wry grin*
Today has been a much happier day. Doctor listened to him over the phone and then told me I didn’t need to come in…that I could taper the breathing treatments off from every 4 hours to every 4-6 hours AS NEEDED and not overnight while he’s sleeping. YEAH! Much better! Obviously not still one hundred [...]
OK, so Saturday afternoon Evan begins a little cough, cough routine…not unlike when I took him to the doctor about a month and half ago and it was just a head cold and nothing to worry about. By Sunday night it’s a full blown hacking and coughing every couple of minutes. Sidney and I say [...]
