I’ve never been to a palm reader or a psychic, or thought much about Chakras or my aura, so maybe I’m not the best person to write about a book titled, Reading Baby Toes: What Your Baby’s Toes Know That You Don’t (Cosimo, 2009) by Imre and Margriet Somogyi. Imra writes in chapter three, “We [...]
I tried to act calm. Eli seemed to be rolling unflappably with the unexpected event. Meanwhile I started texting everyone I knew with my pithy, yet painful observations about time’s fleeting passage.
Two unmarried college students, a 30-something couple trying to conceive and a pair of near empty-nesters share the stage for a musical called “Baby” at Arizona Broadway Theatre in Peoria. Lynn Trimble saw the show with her daughter Lizabeth, and describes it as both “charming” and “sweet.”

The news came out yesterday that more than 1.7 million babies were born to unwed mothers in 2007. That translates into nearly 40% of all US births. Frankly, that’s an astounding figure. Now I consider myself to be a highly evolved feminist. I have little doubt that had I not found a man I wanted [...]
If you weren’t shocked by this week’s announcement from the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine about one-fifth of American 4-year-olds being obese, I’m not sure what it would take to freak you out. How about the fact that obese kids are developing type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease and musculoskeletal problems (their tiny bodies [...]
