Just letting you know you can check out my latest article on Huffington Post in response to a “Relationship Expert” who says he has a “Cure” for Divorce.

“Is There a Cure for Divorce?”

I’m sick.  And I didn’t even know it.

According to an article by Dr. David Wygant on Huffington Post, divorce can be as preventable as the common cold, and Dr. Wygant, relationship therapist and dating expert, has the “cure.”

Well, having been in a 12 year long marriage, I can relate to Dr. Wygant’s basic theory that couples can get into a “You-don’t-do-anything-for-me-so-I-won’t-do-anything-for-you” downward spiral. I myself was the queen of it. In fact, I reigned supreme. But I believe his theory over-simplifies the complexities involved in the decision to divorce.

His basic hypothesis suggests that if two people can come together, they can stay together. But what he doesn’t examine is whether or not they should stay together.

His article presumes that all people come together because they are mature, emotionally sound and ready to take “the plunge” (I’m sorry…I’m trying not to laugh…).

But what if two people come together for the wrong reasons?

Got Lice?

Want to know how to get rid of lice?

Well, you’re in luck.  I don’t know why, but somehow I’ve been dubbed the Lice Expert Mom and seem to have written on the subject quite a few times.  I wrote about it on Divine Caroline, I wrote about it on Mommy LITE, and now…I’ve written about the best places to get rid of it in LA on CBS LosAngeles.com.  (Why so many times?  I guess because we’ve had it 3 times and if there’s one thing I know – it’s how to get rid of it.  Apparently my problem is avoiding it altogether…)

I hope you don’t ever need this, but if you find yourself in the situation of having this icky infestation, the CBS Los Angeles article should be the first resource you go to get rid of it.

Good luck!
