Posted on April 18, 2009 by Tentative Equinox North

Take a look at this. Although it’s not a large number of people involved in this study, I think these findings are really eye-opening. Laughter was more effective than medication in reducing cholesterol levels. By a lot. 26% compared to 3% improvement?! … Continue reading →

Posted on January 1, 2009 by Tentative Equinox North

Whew! Is he gone? I didn’t want to say anything bad about 2008 while he was still in the room, but like, WOAH! Where did that year COME from? AND a leap year to boot so we got to enjoy his company … Continue reading →

Posted on October 29, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North

I had an appointment with a nutritionist at my naturopath’s office yesterday. I took Griffin (four and a third years old) with me. He was sure he wouldn’t need his little bag of cars to entertain himself. Big mistake. I should have … Continue reading →

Opposites

Posted on October 20, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North

The 4-year-old has a cold. Not a bad one. But just bad enough that he’s got that flypaper nose. You moms know the one I’m talking about–he’s constantly leaking a sticky fluid from his nose that then adheres to his … Continue reading →

Goals? Where? RUN!

Posted on October 19, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North

DOH!

Posted on September 29, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North

Last week I learned that food poisoning sucks. Thus, no staggering posts of insightful genius or even a small giggle-inducing post. The Saga of the Honey-Roasted Almonds I decided that dough-free month began on Monday. I went by the health food store … Continue reading →

No-dough month update

nO(c)-dough-ber

Posted on September 21, 2008 by Tentative Equinox North
