If you’re raising children while also caring for aging parents, you’re part of what is sometimes referred to as “the sandwich generation.” The sandwich generation isn’t another generation based on birth year like Gen X or Millennials; instead, it’s made up of adults (typically between the ages of 40-50) who are balancing the responsibilities of parenthood and being a primary caregiver. It’s a role filled with love, but also one that can feel emotionally and physically exhausting. Balancing the needs of your kids and your parents—while still taking care of yourself—takes planning, patience, and lots of support. Understanding the Challenges Caring for children and aging parents at the same time can bring unique stresses.You might find yoursel…

If you’ve ever gotten the dreaded “head lice” notice from your child’s school, you know how the panic can set in. Lice are a common problem among school-aged children, and they can spread quickly in group settings. Take a deep breath! While they may be unsettling and cause itching, they’re not dangerous. They’re also not a reflection of cleanliness or your parenting. You can tackle lice effectively and avoid future outbreaks with these simple strategies. How Head Lice Spread Head lice are tiny insects that live close to the scalp and feed on small amounts of blood. They can’t jump or fly and instead move by crawling. This is why they primarily spread through direct head-to-head or contact. Children, who tend to sit or play close together, h…

Your pelvic floor muscles do a lot of underappreciated work in your body. They support your bladder, uterus, and bowels, and they help control your ability to go to the bathroom, maintain comfort during intimacy, and stabilize your core. During pregnancy and childbirth, these muscles can stretch or weaken significantly. And yet, they’re rarely a focus of postpartum recovery—leaving many women to deal silently with discomfort, leaks, or pressure. Why Pelvic Floor Health Matters After giving birth, you may notice urinary leakage when coughing or sneezing, a heavy or pressured feeling in the pelvis, or trouble with bowel movements. After the recommended six-week waiting period, you may also feel pain during intercourse. These are all signs tha…

Good posture is much more than just “sitting up straight.” It supports healthy spine development, helps muscles grow strong, and can even improve breathing and concentration. As your child grows, poor posture—like slumping or leaning forward—can set the stage for back or neck pain, reduced flexibility, or fatigue. Because children’s bodies are actively developing, encouraging good posture now helps prevent issues later in life. How to Recognize Slumping or Strain Poor posture habits can lead to signs like rounded shoulders, slouched back, or forward-leaning head. Your child might also complain about discomfort after sitting at school or experience early fatigue during sports or activities. Kids can also tend to sink into furniture, like cou…
