Four Tips towards …Aaahhh

July 26, 2011 By Tabitha Paculba 6 Comments

Aaahhh… Every now and then we need to decompress.  By definition, to decompress is to return to a condition of normal atmospheric pressure gradually from a condition of increased pressure.  For divers this is equalizing on the ascent towards the water’s surface and the time spent between dives.  For everyone else, decompression could be thought […]

After watching the video, below, by SodaSucks.org I thought, “Is this what is happening?” Did you know that “215,000 people younger than 20 years have diabetes”? Did you know that stroke is […]

Red, White and…where’s the Green?

July 7, 2011 By Tabitha Paculba 2 Comments

This past weekend, I celebrated Independence Day with my Fiance’s family in Minnesota. It was my first time visiting and the weather, location and company was absolutely perfect!  We explored back country woods on ATVs, shot sporting clay, whipped around the lake on a jet ski and checked each other for ticks.  Did I mention […]

Three Lessons from a Picky Eater

June 7, 2011 By Tabitha Paculba 8 Comments

  Last week my younger niece, Isa Bella, stayed with us for four nights.  I know she enjoyed her stay and playing with Uncle Luke (sometimes pronounced “look”).  Yet, I sometimes struggle with what to feed her. Okay, I tend to obsess about it. When it comes to nutrition I tend to offer different foods […]

May 24, 2011 By Tabitha Paculba 4 Comments

To me the continental breakfast has always been a joke.  It never seems to be enough. A few croissants, jam, fruit, milk and coffee?  Where’s the protein?  It turns out everyone has a different idea of what constitutes a continental breakfast.
