Do Good Moms Have Teens That Use Drugs? We try so hard to be the best moms we can be. But does that guarantee us drug free kids? Unfortunately, not.
I know moms who seemed to do everything right, and their teen still started drinking or doing drugs. Most parents think it could never happen to their child, but it does. So, would you know if your teen was doing drugs? What should you do?
With the value of a dollar going down, and gas prices going up, the ability to make healthy food choices is getting more and more costly.

As a health and wellness CE, I talk a lot about healthy eating and healthy living. But lately I'm starting to feel like there is a conspiracy against sick people in this country. Well, maybe "conspiracy" is too strong of a word. Let's say...discrimination. With so much focus on the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, being unhealthy has quite a stigma attached to it. And it's even crossed over into politics, turning judgment into a pundit pass-time.
