Antibacterial Hand Soap Spoils Mom

I wash my hands a bajillion times a day.  Between H1N1 fears, diaper changes and subway funk, I always feel like I need to soap up. Whenever a company pitches me, "we've got a new hand soap..."

It's 40 degrees in NYC--time for soup! We've been apple picking with the kids 2x this fall. I went in search of inspiration in Dr.Weil's cookbook and found an incredible soup recipe. It's so simple, insanely healthy, and tasty enough to make you want seconds and thirds.

Mommy Time Monday: Investigating Laser Treatments

When Skin Laser & Surgery Specialists approached me about advertising on Momtrends, part of the deal was that I needed to visit the NYC location and do some research. My reputation and my readers mean the world to me and I didn't want to advocate anything that made moms feel anything less than fabulous. So I booked an appointment with Dr. David Goldberg to do my investigating.
