If I had known signing up for Zumba would be so humiliating for my daughter, I would have done it months ago. I have such fond memories of clenching my butt cheeks alongside my unitard-clad mother to Jane Fonda videos in our living room, so I honestly thought my teenager might want to take the [...]
Do you suffer from a lack of restful sleep? Are you a parent? Are you an adult with responsibilities? If you are, you have probably experienced bouts of insomnia. It’s either trouble falling asleep–due to the ever-growing list that lights up your wall as you try to turn off your brain at night–or trouble staying [...]
My wife wants me to take supplements because apparently I’m not quite the stallion I once was.
Flu season is upon us. Still, there is no reason why we can’t take this dreaded season and find the fun in it. Right? As someone who is writing this post while enjoying a good battle with influenza, I thought I would share some fabulously fun activities to keep you occupied while you recuperate. Please [...]

If you’re anything like, oh, everyone else besides Martha Stewart and Mrs. Claus, then at some point over the holidays you lost your mojo.

I am here to help, girlfriend! Why deprive yourself of food or get all sweaty when there are so many super simple [...]
You always remember your first. I was in Italy and was nervous, but a friend told me about her first time and I felt better. So, I opened up my Tampax tampon, put it in and went on my way. I spent the next several hours on a bus traveling through the Italian alps and every bump was like a punch in [...]
Did you know that certain brands of bread prevent cancer? Or that untold nutritional benefit can be reaped from the same plant that brought us rope? Or that seaweed and parsnips are not disgusting after all? Yeah — me, neither. These delicious revelations were cooked and served up by my wife Kate. Kate is a [...]
