  • My husband has Crohn's Disease. Since his diagnosis I have really studied up on how diets effect the whole digestive system. He and I now eat a Gluten-free, dairy-free, specific carb diet.

I also put bread and butter on the…
  • My 2009 new years resolution was to stop and do as many pushups and sit ups and I could for 1 minute each, three times a day. I cannot tell you how the combined six minutes a day has made me stronger and more fit. I've always worked out (strength and cardio, 3 times a week), but this just really gave me and extra push.…
