A Tribute to the Man who Invented the Alarm Clock

2E60397F-C86E-4985-8BA6-F8A0768E43C2

We all know the names Orville and Wilbur Wright, Thomas Edison, and Milton Hershey. Each talented inventor played a monumental role in establishing necessities of life as we know it. But could any of us name the man who invented the beautiful bell that wakes us up every morning? Just this week my husband neglected […]

Intermittent Fasting: The Diet for Doctors

75E275CF-12C1-45BA-A449-7EF3448000A4

I am a huge fan of diets. The stricter, the better. If you don’t believe me, check out one of my previous posts, The Water Diet: Lose That Baby Weight Fast! And that is not the only diet that has found its way into our house. This one is perfect for anyone in the busy medical […]

Mama’s Day Out at the DMV

F4FFA2D6-CEC8-40E7-B955-3977479E5FC7

I’ll make this short and sweet, like my experience at the DMV. But my soul can’t rest until I share with my fellow moms my recommendation for the DMV as your next destination when you need a break. Consider this. When one of your oldest kids is sick, another is a threenager, and twins popped […]

After the Final Rose: 6 Ways The Bachelorette is Like Medical Life

C5BCFC93-77E1-4C13-9F50-6634E5C34295

***Spoiler Alert!*** The Bachelorette is widely accepted as one of the most wholesome and intellectually stimulating programs in television. Unfortunately, I spent most of my life ignorantly opposing it, as if I had any better way to spend my time. It wasn’t until medical school, in the depths of my total loneliness, that I stumbled […]

Yoga: How to Get Started…and Stop

2D50E319-2AC9-48A0-AC46-F09511EA3799

It all started with a poorly timed gym membership renewal. Coming off of Christmas break, I felt like the laziest of all hibernating creatures. Candy canes. Fudge. Cinnamon popcorn. Pumpkin everything. Chocolate in all its original flavors, but made more appealing because of it’s festive shapes–bells with crunchy mint specks and christmas trees stuffed with […]

The Cheerleader’s Guide to Hosting a Super Bowl Party

15440A47-590D-4DF7-8FD3-EC9F3AD0266D

Cheerleader’s are the world’s worst sports fans. They shout, “Go team!”–implying that they aren’t 100% sure what the name or mascot of their team actually is. They face the fans rather than the players for most of the game, and don’t mind. If you were to ask every person leaving the stadium after the national […]

Do It All, Then Do More

1F5DC3A4-D302-4ED2-970D-ED8B98F243A3

At a recent girls’ night, the question was posed: Which character from Inside Out is the most dominant in YOUR head? It sparked a lively conversation, so I want to know what you think! Which character has the most control over your mental switchboard? Let me know in the comments! It took me a little […]

What’s Your Sneeze Personality?

D3B4685A-8FAF-46C6-B9A1-E2F49ACD8BEB

How much do you really know about sneezing? Not anatomically, of course. I leave scientific matters to my husband. I am far more interested in the cultural background of the sneeze. Let’s start with this Sneeze Personality quiz I put together! What’s Your Sneeze Personality? Now that you’ve identified your Sneeze Personality, let’s dive right […]

You vs. Snowmageddon

8D3FCA95-27DE-4CA0-AC69-1EDC44228CDA

Snow! Sorry, pardon my French. But really, what are your feelings? I’ll give you your choices: you either hate snow, love snow, or are unfaithful in your loyalties. If you and your ancestors deliberately settled in a place like Arizona for the sole purpose of avoiding that fluffy white stuff, and you have never once […]

I Fought a Vacuum Cleaner…and Lost

410F3E8A-4EA2-4B36-B63E-2C74B7ED0D13

I can only assume that most of us have had days that feel like we’ve sleep walked into the center of an active volcano, set up a lounge chair, and turned on the world’s most poorly made movie to pass the time while we wait for molten lava to melt us feet first. The demolition […]
