I am so frustrated. How did it get to be April already? It seems like I was just recovering from Christmas and all the January birthdays, and all of a sudden I’m making the office schedule for July and frantically looking for summer vacation…
I’m back! Last week, my husband and I went to Breckenridge, Colorado for a ski trip. I am exhausted. What? I just had a week away from work, kids, home and everything that is the normal rat race of life, and I’m still wiped…

I’ve been conducting a science experiment. On myself. Before anyone gets alarmed, let me say this is a nutrition experiment. I’m not taking any medications or new supplements. But I’ve radically changed my current diet recently to see how my body would respond to…
