You’re a mom with teenage kids, and you won’t believe the following: teenagers are very, very happy.
I’ve never been a gardener that is until recently. Even so, my husband has the expert green thumb in our family. I am what you would call a novice. I’m still learning. 
The other day I saw this viral video on YouTube recorded by a Texan dad reporting from his lawn chair. He vents for five minutes about his teenage daughter who condemned him as a parent on her Facebook wall. Then he goes about teaching her a lesson in a way she’ll NEVER FORGET. Watch it! We posted a link to the video at the end of this blog.
The first organ that we develop is the heart; before we breathe, think, digest or suck our thumb, we must have that initial spark that makes our heart beat. 
For children, the answer is a resounding, “yes!” Children’s natural inclination towards play makes play therapy the preferred method of psychotherapy for children struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, oppositional defiance, attention deficit disorder, social problems, trauma, divorce, and grief, to name a few. 
I used to make resolutions. They were always things that were good for me. Like, “this year I am going to floss my teeth.” Or “this year I’m going to go to the gym regularly for sure.” At some point, (after years of making them) I realized that no matter how great my enthusiasm come January 1st, by the time March rolled around I had all but forgot my resolution.
The Holidays are all about giving, especially about material giving. It's a time when credit cards get stretched, and when we worry about running out of money. And let's not forget the stress about finding the right gift for someone. 
That festive time of year is upon us! So are the pounds. The Holidays are friends and family time, and as soon as we get to celebrate good times, we start munching and drinking away.
Europe has banned the use of X-ray body scanners in airports, because they cause cancer. The EU set a new regulation on November 12, 2011, that the scanners are too dangerous for use on the general public. The United States has over 250 of these body scanners in use and the federal security agency TSA plans to increase deployment everywhere.
WellWise tries to stay away from politics as much as we can, but when Congress starts touching our food in an unhealthy way, then we have no other option.
