I was recently given a copy of Green Babies, Sage Moms as a baby gift.

I’d heard great things about this book, and while I was turned off by the Anne Geddes-esque infant posing as a pea pod on the cover, I delved further… and am glad that I did. Ironically, I read the chapter called [...]

Sometimes after a few beers, my husband prefers to pee off the porch rather than make the tumultuous trek all the way inside to the bathroom. “Guys are lucky,” I would remark (after a thorough verbal beatdown). “You can go anywhere.”
Well, there’s a new product out that allows active women to take aim. That’s right, [...]

When I used to punch the clock in Cubicleland, I would dread the nine-hour stretches I’d have to spend under fluorescent lights on a beautiful day. So now that I work from home, why not just take it outside? I didn’t think I could, until I saw a woman last week on the deck at [...]

Soles4Souls, an international shoe charity, has reached out to its friends in the media (including yours truly) and challenged us to go barefoot for at least four consecutive hours during their annual Barefoot Week celebration (June 1-7), and report to you on its effects.

For the past four years, Breathe’s own Martha Evans has put on the Earth Day Reggae 5k in Black Mountain, NC. I had the pleasure of helping out at this year’s race on April 25. I didn’t run, but I was a good little helper: passing out cups and leis as runners danced across the [...]

It would be weird to wheel my way from the garage through the bedroom to my office (I work from home), but for those of you who have a slightly longer commute, consider two-wheel transportation during May, which is Bike-to-Work Month. More specifically, next week is Bike-to-Work Week, and Friday, May 15, is Bike-to-Work Day. [...]

Affectionate and loyal, your dog loves being with you, and you love being with her. So why force her to shack up with strangers while you go romping all over the country?

Our feature stories for the summer are all about food and family. I’m always thinking about food, and with a baby on the way (our first!), family’s definitely been in the forefront of everything I do. Will I be a good mom? Am I getting enough exercise? Is there such a thing as an affordable, [...]

Sure, you could take the kids to another amusement park this summer, or to grandma’s house—again. Or you could give them a vacation they’ll never forget.

Do you know the letter and number for every candy bar in your office vending machine? Can you name the drive-thrus with the best French fries in town? Maybe you are the Queen of Healthy Eating in your own kitchen, who turns into the Burger Queen when you’re starving and stranded while out running errands [...]
