11 Things To Do with Your Kids Inside
I cannot actually recommend staying indoors in the winter, but I really do hate the cold. Getting outdoors more often will improve your mood and boost your immune system. That being said, when I took my kids to school today it was 18 degrees, which I can only stand for about an hour. When you’re […]
The Screen Time is Changing Him
I never thought I’d say it, but I can’t wait for spring sports to start. With no basketball players, avid skiers or hockey players, I love winter because the schedules are lighter, the driving load is less, and we can hunker down, curl up and spend more time together as a family. For years, everyone bought […]

V Day Gift for the Guy in your Life
I recently tried this, and it is the perfect Valentine’s gift for the man you love, OR the whiskey-loving woman you love. (Hint, hint, Larry…) 8 Ball Chocolate whiskey is smooth, delicious and is the perfect combo of booze and chocolate — which are two of my favorite things. I’m not alone on that, right? They […]

How is the New Year’s Resolution to lose weight going for you? You’re not alone. It is hard! Studies show that when we have some accountability, someone to work out with or just support us, healthy habit change is easier and more effective. That’s why I LOVE Valley’s latest initiative. They partnered with the Mayors […]
The Valentine’s Gift You Give Yourself
Enough! Really. I just have to say it. We have got to stop. Living with someone who is mean to you all the time is really hard. It poisons everything, even the happiest of moments. We have only this one life to live. As women, how much of it are we going to spend beating […]
I Joined the Ridgewood Y. Here is Y you should too.
I know I need to work out, I know I feel and look better when I work out, and as a doctor, I fully understand the health benefits of exercise … yet, sweating really just isn’t my jam. Every year, I vow that I will start an exercise routine, and every year, I struggle to follow the […]

A friend called me last night with a question about a skin rash. I made a couple of treatment suggestions, and she didn’t have any of it on hand, which meant she had to go to the drug store with a rash on her face. There are certain things every medicine cabinet should have on […]
Our Temperature has evolved
A recent study showed that the normal body temperature of humans has dropped. Established as the norm, based on the temperatures of 25,000 people about 150 years ago, we all think of 37 degrees Celsius or 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit as our basal body temperature. Men now run at an average of 36.6 C (97.9 F) and […]
