I’m relaxing in our “outdoor living room” in the backyard with a glass of Viognier. Seth is putting the baby down. It was hot today, but now it’s pleasantly cool. I can smell someone barbecuing in the distance.
Tonight’s dinner will be easy. I got a dozen fresh scallops at the farmer’s market today. So fresh, [...]

And Aspberger’s, ADD, and ADHD!
On my morning walk with Kate, I listened to the most fascinating and moving lecture by Dr. Mary Megson, MD. She is a pediatrician who has been working with autistic children and seeing absolutely miraculous results with nutrition.
I was literally moved to tears listening to this woman speak. And [...]

I woke up with a sore throat this morning. A friend with a cold came over yesterday. She figured she was past being contagious but I guess not.
It could have been her, it could have been someone else I caught it from. Doesn’t matter. This is a sign though that I need to get healthier.
The [...]

This whole series (videos 1-6) is worth watching. They are talking about nutrition for autistic kids… but it is important information for all of us.
Did you know that fermenting foods increases the nutrition hundreds of times? Isn't that exciting?
Did you know that serotonin is manufactured in the [...]

I read Jenny McCarthy's book, “Louder Than Words” last night.
It totally blew me away.
So moving and absolutely gripping. What I love about Jenny McCarthy is how forthright and honest she is. She calls it like she sees it. And she's not afraid to be herself. I really love and admire that in a person.
What she [...]
