All About the Apgar Score
The Apgar score, the very first test given to a newborn, occurs in the delivery room immediately after the delivery of the baby. It is a simple and painless rating system to evaluate your newborn’s health. In 1952, Virginia Apgar first developed the test to standardize assessment of newborns after anesthesia was administered to mothers….
Write About It!
Spring Break (or any vacation/special activity) provides a new opportunity for you to practice storytelling with your child. Whether or not you went on an exotic vacation, she’ll surely have something to share about a fun activity she did during break. You can do this together. If your little one’s too young to write, have…

Why Tipp City, OH Rocks!
Tipp City is appropriately named since it really tips the hat of Dayton just north off 75. This town makes it perfect for those that want their own little town that has everything you need within a stone’s throw yet isn’t too far from Dayton to enjoy the sports games, colleges, and festivals.

And pets come with a LOT of stuff: cages, food, treats, beds, litter, brushes, cleaning supplies, medications, toys, leashes, collars… the list goes on!Like anything…
Advanced Breast Screening is Saving Lives
“Everyone’s cancer story is different. But when cancer goes undetected, the end of the story is always the same,” says Dayton-area native, Rachel Blackburn. Unfortunately, Rachel knows all too well the toll cancer can take. “I lost my mom in June 2016 to Large B-cell Lymphoma,” says Rachel. “My father passed away in 2001 from…
Worth the Drive: Reds Hall of Fame and Museum
Some of my favorite childhood memories are when my dad coached my t-ball team. I was 6, it was a co-ed team wherein I was the only girl, and I relished the bonding time with my dad. My husband has similar stories about his dad; and, in fact, baseball was a comforting constant throughout his…
Reading Effectively to Newborns
Do newborn babies really benefit from being read to? Even though you probably hear all of the time that reading to newborn babies is crucial to their development, it does seem a little counterintuitive. I mean, c’mon, brand new babies are barely ever awake, and even when they are, they don’t really seem like the…
HANDBAG ORGANIZATION
How many handbags do you have? How many do you actually love and use? Like clothing, we only use about 20% of the handbags we own. Some people are constantly looking for the “perfect” bag, some are addicted to handbags (the never ending colors, shapes, sizes are as intoxicating as shoes!) and some impulse buy any bag…
