Listen to Radio Podcast

To listen to my radio debut on Healthy Wealthy Wow on Grapevine Radio click this podcast link. I think it went really well. Click on today’s date (3rd one down). It was pretty fun too.

Talk Radio Interview

I’ll be on the Healthy Wealthy Wow radio program on the Grapevine Talk Radio Network on Thursday at 1:29 CST. I won a radio contest (which I wasn’t even listening to)for the Law of Attraction Action Pack and now I get to go on the radio program and chat about how it’s effected me. It’s […]

Girly Trains

For the life of me I can not tell you why it never, not once, occurred to me to buy Ainsley a train set. I’ve been shopping for Zack’s 2nd birthday and realized there is a host of toy options for boys that I never considered for my daughter. Of course, she would’ve enjoyed a […]

Ainsley Shook President's Hand

by Tracee Sioux Ainsley and I got to shake Bill Clinton’s hand! Seriously. She got to meet Bill Clinton, I think he said something like thanks for coming or good to see you or something. I was too busy recording the moment to really live it. I don’t really know if she understands the significance […]

Ainsley's 1st Political Rally

I’m taking the kids to see their first former-President/future first-gentleman (is that the male derivative of First Lady?) today! Yes, that would be Bill Clinton! It is thrilling to me that I will have the opportunity to vote for the first female Presidential Candidate. Taking the daughter out of school for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. What […]

Be My Mr. Good Enough!

Do you think I should get you a Valentine? I’m going to be seriously upset if you spend money on roses that die and please remember I hate the creams. In fact we don’t need chocolate, there’s still some from Christmas. I was talking to her not you, my sweet husband pointed to our six-year-old […]

Mom's World

To understand where we’re going it’s helpful to understand where we’ve been. Check out this flickr photoset called Mom’s World. It’s a photo-essay of a woman, Dotty, in the 1950s who documented her life. It’s beautiful and fascinating. Watch it with your daughter, she’ll be equally transfixed.

HPV Vaccine Reconsideration

by Tracee Sioux About a year ago I took a stance that all girls should have access to the HPV (human papillomavirus virus) in my article HPV Vaccine, Right of All Girls To Health. While I stand by my original logic, I’ve come across two bits of information that have me reconsidering the benefits of […]

CCFC PG-13 Film Restrictions

I am sick to death of inappropriate commercials popping up during family or kids programing. Here’s the thing – We’re a captive audience during commercials. I shouldn’t have to spend so much time hollering “Ainsley close your eyes!” while watching television. The FCC is a literal joke. They will take zero action ever. Well, they’ll […]

RealAge Healthy Kids Test

by Tracee Sioux Have you seen that show Honey We’re Killing the Kids? The show you a family with terrible eating habits, fast forward what they’ll look like when they’re 40 and predict their life expectancy? Of course they pick families with such terrible habits you can walk away feeling like you’re doing a super […]

Zero Existence

by Tracee Sioux I was thin as a young woman. Just the other day my sister-in-law said to me, I saw some pictures of you and you were so thin. A friend of mine who knew me about 7 years ago also recently said, You were so tiny back then. I was always “the thin […]
