People who walked for 2+ hours every day had a 24% lower risk of developing chronic lower back pain than people who walked less than 78 minutes. The study was conducted in Europe, of course. It's not easy to find 11,000 adults in the U.S. who walk even 78 minutes per day.

I hope they tackle unnecessary screen time in schools next. My child received a laptop from school when she started kindergarten. Now they have at least 2 hrs of daily screen time, AND they turn on the TV during lunchtime in one of the best elementary schools in NJ @RepSherrill

My 3-year-old lost her gloves on the playground, and we bought her new ones. Several days later, my 6-year-old, who had complained that she didn't get new gloves, coincidentally lost her old gloves at school.

A crying baby, especially a newborn, needs comfort. It doesn't know if you are in another room or disappeared from the face of the earth and left them alone to die. I tried CIO with my first child, lasted 10 minutes, and couldn't help but hold my baby in my arms.

Why do insurance companies cover fentanyl-containing epidural anesthesia for vaginal delivery but do not cover doulas for women who prefer drug-free pain relief?

Living in Europe before having kids is a life hack. Gives you a full cultural immersion, extensive travel, valuable international experience, connections, and language skills. No need to forgo unconditional love, leaving a legacy, and a home full of smiles and laughter.
