Books About the Genealogy of the First Ladies

Posted on by

This is an election year, and we have been hearing a lot of news that talks about the genealogy of various candidates and political figures. What we don’t hear as much about is the family tree, or genealogy, of the women who are, or were, a First Lady. There are plenty of books out, right now, that will tell you more about the lives of these important women. Michelle Obama is the current First Lady. You probably have heard about her efforts to get children to eat healthier, and to engage in more frequent physical activity. Genealogists might be interested … Continue reading →

How many calories do I burn blogging?

Like many of you, I often feel that exercise does not fit into my daily routine. I’m a mom to four children, wife, dog parent, blogger and writer. My day begins with a yawn and very often ends with a yawn. In between all of that, I find my eating habits suffer or are nonexistent. One can hardly call grabbing a bagel or a protein bar in the midst of chaos an eating habit as it is more like an eating disaster. So, between chasing kids, writing articles and eating on a semi regular basis while only dreaming of that … Continue reading →

Steven Page Leaves Barenaked Ladies and LAPD Investigates Rihanna Photo Leak

In August 2008, I blogged about Barenaked Ladies lead singer Steven Page. He was arrested in July for possession of a controlled substance. The arrest caused the band to cancel an appearance at the Disney Music Block Party in New York. The charges against Page were eventually reduced to a misdemeanor in October 2008. Today, it was announced on the band’s web page that by mutual agreement, Page was leaving the band. Page released a statement saying, “These guys are my brothers. We’ve grown up together over the past twenty years. I love them and wish them all the best … Continue reading →

Barenaked Ladies Singer Survives Crash

It has been a long, hard summer for the Barenaked Ladies. First, singer/songwriter Steven Page was arrested on July 11 for possession of a controlled substance. The police were checking out a suspiciously parked car near the home of Christine Benedicto, Page’s girlfriend, whom he was visiting that night. Through the window, the police saw Page and another resident of the apartment, Stephanie Ford. Page and Ford covered up the table when they saw the police, but it was too late. What the officers found on the kitchen table was cocaine. When the police searched Page’s car, more cocaine was … Continue reading →

Ask a Baby Blogger: C-Sections and Bonding After Birth

Question: Do mothers who have c-sections not bond as well with their babies? This is not a question someone e-mailed me, but rather something that was being discussed in the forums. It’s a very sensitive issue and frankly, I think there has been made much ado about nothing. Bonding is NOT a one time event. It is not this little narrow window of opportunity that once is lost, is gone forever. It is a process and to be honest, I think a lot of people don’t understand what exactly is meant by bonding when they talk about it. What is … Continue reading →
