I love holiday weekends – they always include some fun in the sun with family and friends.  Where I live now it also means pool, lake or beach get-togethers.  All great, with one big, big request and that is to PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THE SUN.  While the sun is our friend, the National Institute of Health (NIH) reports that reducing unprotected exposure to the sun and artificial light from tanning beds, tanning booths, and sun lamps can lower the risk of skin cancer.  Read more >

As many of you know, I am also posting on ModernMom.com.  My latest post is:  Getting Ready for Baby:  What to Buy.  In preparing for the birth of a new baby, moms-to-be want to know what they need to ensure that they are ready to welcome the baby home. Parents want to be prepared with the essential items to help ensure a safe and comfortable environment when they come from the hospital, such as a sturdy crib, stroller and car seat, soft bedding and enough blankets.  Read more >

It seems as if finding a significant other online is the way of the present.  I remember when women and men used to lower their voice to a whisper when telling you they are dating or in love with someone they met online.  It was deemed, at first, that they were somehow desperate if that is how they met the love of their life.  There was a certain level of skepticism about the reality that the person was actually who they said they were.  Importantly, there was concern about safety.  All of those were and are legitimate.    Read more >

On April 18, 2012, I posted a blog on ModernMom.com about breastfeeding titled:  Not Every Mother Can Breastfeed, But All Parents Can Bond.  With all the discussion about breastfeeding, prompted by the recent Time Magazine cover showing a rather grown toddler breastfeeding, I thought I would share the ModernMom post on BlogHer.com.  I copied part of the post below, the whole article can be found on ModernMom using the link at the bottom of the page:  Read more >

About Me: 

I am a registered nurse women’s health care expert who spends a lot of professional time answering health related questions from a variety of professionals and product users – consumers.  Also, I am the one everyone in my realm contacts when they have health questions.  Even when I don’t know the facts, I can research them and then relate them in a way that is more understandable than just reading the medical literature.  Love being helpful in that way!  That is one of the reasons that Tampax, Always and beinggirl.com have asked me to be one of its women's health experts. 

 

It isn’t a matter of telling anyone what to do – far from it.  It is about providing factual information about health so decisions about how to manage it for one’s self, is made using the best information possible. 

 

I decided to post on blogher.com because it is a place where women and teens go to ask questions about puberty, periods, menstrual health and menopause and to talk to each other about their questions and concerns.  If anyone has any questions about that, please feel free to ask away!
