We spend a lot of time making sure that our children’s teeth are brushed and flossed so that when we take them in for their…

My parents weren’t big on enforcing dental health when I was growing up.  Because of that I was kind of lax in the whole brushing…

Approximately 8,000 children are treated at emergency rooms each day for sports-related injuries.  We often think of broken arms or concussions when we hear statistics…

Being a blogger and tied to my computer for most of the day, I do a lot of sitting.  Not just for that, but of course in the car, in front of the TV, at the kitchen table….sit.sit.sit.  And there’s nothing worse than having to sit in an uncomfortable chair.  Am I right?

Sometimes chairs that look really comfortable, aren’t at all!  And other times those really fancy looking chairs that look like they’d be torture to sit in, well they’re actually quite comfy!  Funny how that is.

It’s been nearly three months since we’ve moved, and our new house is finally starting to feel like home.  I officially unpacked the last two boxes a couple of days ago.  It kind of makes me go hmmm…that even with how much stuff we gave away and tossed before we moved that we still have so much.

The CDC estimates that 1 in 6 people get sick, are hospitalized or die from food poisoning every year in the United States.  I know I stayed away from cantaloupe last week, and you know it’s an issue when it makes its way into TV shows, like it listeria did on a recent episode of The Good Wife.

We travel quite a bit here on Three Different Directions and just with our last vacation to Alaska in August we were commenting on how things have changed from leisurely to stressful.  In 2001 we traveled to Disneyworld less than a month after 9/11, and the heightened security everywhere we went was just the beginning.  I found this infographic very interesting about Osama vs Travel – The post 9/11 effect on travel.

Our daughter just started her sophomore year of high school.  That means applying for colleges is right around the corner.  She’s pretty bright and has been writing the ACT with high scores since she was 12, but the price tag of college has our hearts beating just a bit faster every month that passes.
