It has been Saturday in the Laricchia household for nearly a decade.
The family's three teenagers, Michael, Lissy and Joseph, have known nothing of alarm clocks, races for the school bus, arguments over homework or report-card angst since their parents started “unschooling” them in 2002.
The small but growing movement the Laricchias have joined is...

Go grab a bottle of Lysol or Windex and you tell me just how many “ingredients” on the back of that thing you know, or can even pronounce. Here’s just a few from the back of a well known “KILLS 99.9% OF GERMS” product:
N-alkyl (1% C8, 1% C10, 67% C12, 25% C14, 7% C16, 1% C18)Dimethyl Benzyl ammonium chloride 0.08%N-Alkyl (AGAIN?) (40% C12, 50% C14, 10% C16)Dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride 0.2%

Breastfeeding is all the rage - or it certainly seems to be before we have our babies. But after they are born and we are met with the unexpected challenges that come along with breastfeeding, many mothers resort to using formula.
We hear it’s just as good. We hear it may be even better for our children than breast milk. But how true are these claims?
As I wrestled with the clasp on my breastfeeding in a mall one day, a bottle feeding mother rolled her eyes and...

Turn the “One Minute Man” into a One Hour Man
You're there; she's there. You're sharing a moment. You are both moving in a mind blowing rhythm and then there it is - yes, Yes, YES - ah, and that's a wrap! You smile to yourself and then look at your partner’s face, only to see a look of... wait, just what IS that look? Disappointment? Frustration? Hate?

Most of us have been here: though we don’t know where these feelings come from, we suddenly feel inspired to "get fit" and get back in to shape (usually it’s because of some woman we’re trying to impress – admit it). We tell our friends of our lofty plans to join a gym, go once a day for 2 hours at a time and brag about how much weight we are going to lose in the next month.
Two days later, we're sitting on the couch with a bag of pork rinds, watching football and...

The itching, the burning, the dry skin… for eczema sufferers, this pain and annoyance becomes a way of life. Many people who suffer from eczema are not even sure of what the cause is, and many physicians seem to be at a loss when it comes to this common condition as well.
When I suffered from an eczema outbreak, a steroid ointment was given to me as a “temporary” solution. But I wanted a safe, healthy LONG TERM solution. I soon discovered that natural eczema...

Though some of the supplements that are on the market today offer you a product of little substance, there is one specific nutrient that one should look for when checking out when on the hunt for a quality nutritional supplement: l-carnitine.

I’m always surrounded by friends who prattle on endlessly about needing to shed pounds and make half-hearted promises to go to the gym each and every New Year. 3 weeks in, and they’re staring down at their failure in the bottom of a French fry packet.
These ladies come up with some crazy weight loss ideas, but drinking milk seemed to be the least plausible of them all. “There’s vitamin B12 in milk,” a friend of mine explained. “Vitamin B12 kinda jumpstarts your...

Lubrication: a word that makes men giggle and women squirm in their seats. Whether you’ll fess up to it or not, each one of us needs lubrication at ONE point in our lives (come on, ladies… none of us are always moist every time we hop into the sack). Finding a good personal lubricant is essential for sexual pleasure, but not all of them are as good as the other. Let’s first talk about where you can buy lube and just how good the lube is that they’re offering:

(NaturalNews) If you're in the beef business, what do you do with all the extra cow parts and trimmings that have traditionally been sold off for use in pet food? You scrape them together into a pink mass, inject them with a chemical to kill the e.coli, and sell them to fast food restaurants to make into hamburgers.

It’s only Good for So Long!
I’m going to set this straight off the bat: YES! YOU CAN GET PREGNANT WHILE STILL BREASTFEEDING!
Even if you haven’t seen a period.
Even if your baby is exclusively breastfeeding.
Even if you are getting up every 2-4 hours every night to breastfeed your child.
Let me first say this: if the only thing that is going into your baby’s mouth is either your boob (or the mother of your...

As I sit here with my taut globe of a belly stretched a foot in front of me, I cannot help but lament the fact that I’m sitting in a coffee shop and unable to partake in a frothy, deliciously sweet cappuccino.
Ahh, one of the many “joys” of pregnancy.
A few months ago, I believed that my lack of tuna and merlot consumption would end at 40 weeks. But all hopes turned to disgruntled disappointment when I discovered that there were still diet limitations if you...
