Happy Holidays!
The craziest holiday month is upon us but that doesn't mean you can't have fun and stay healthy at the same time! The key to success this month is moderation and remembering that eating always needs to be balanced with movement. If we remember that and teach that to our kids, we'll all be healthier day to day and get through these high-party crunch times! [Read more December PediaNewz]

This is truly the holiday calm before the storm! Thanksgiving is around the corner and before you know it the crazy month of winter holidays. The best aspect of Thanksgiving for me is the family focus - just a day to hang, mingle and eat without any present pressure or obligations. Ok, there may be a few football games to juggle but that comes with the territory and is what makes the holiday so fun! In fact, get everyone into the football action this year and get a game going between courses to burn off those extra calories! [Read more November PediaNewz]

Wow! Where did the summer go! Harry Potter mania is upon us and back to school beckons...well, is at least close at hand. But, it isn't here yet! There is still a great deal of summer fun to be had. August is really a time of transitions. You'll find they will sneak up on you slowly but surely as Labor Day approaches but until then enjoy the month and stay cool! [Read more August PediaNewz]

Wow! The final week(s) of school. What a crazy time of year with more events per day then our calendars can accomodate combined with quite the roller coaster of emotions. Before long the new pace of summer will set in happily but parting ways with a routine that has become second nature is no easy task for all of us.[Read more June Pedianewz]
May 2007
I love May. While the shortest in name of all the months, it is the most complicated in essense, and one of the healthiest (just ignore the pollen!). During this one month, we celebrate hard work, people, and accomplishments.[Read more May Pedianewz]

Spring has sprung - finally. And, so has spring youth sports season. If only youth sports today were as rejuvenating as spring itself but so much of it needs fixing. This month's column hits the highlights and gives you some food for thought by some of the country's top youth sports experts. But, thankfully, with spring comes the conclusion of the flu season!
