I know. You've out grown cartoons. That's kid stuff. But I have news for you, the modern…

If your kids aren't headed off to summer camp this year, you might be stumped as to what to possibly do to keep them entertained and keep you sane. And unfortunately where I live, fun, cultural and educational activities are rare jewels, so we typically have to venture off at least an hour to enjoy ourselves. But don't be discouraged if you live in Small Town, NC like me; North Carolina is chock full of other destinations that are well worth the travel time. I've…

I'm not a breakfast person. I generally hate eggs, and usually anything I eat early in the morning disagrees with my tummy. I have found, though, that smoothies work well for me in the morning.

Whether or not your child is destined to be the next Michael Phelps, learning to swim is an important part of summer safety. Consider these sobering statistics:

• I in 5 people who drown are children under the age of 14. For every 1 child who drowns, 4 more are treated for submersion injuries and many result in permanent brain…

I was a bill collector in my former life. Well, not really in my former life, but just a few months ago.

I remember sitting in my cubicle, calling and awaiting calls, day in and day out, wondering how I got myself into this rut. I fought back tears every time I left my house to commute to work, knowing I'd be missing out on almost every important part of…
