Food & Drink > Fast Food Fast food restaurants serving the unhealthiest food

12 of 30

I think this is a sad claim and a smear campaign against fast food restaurants, yet again. Fast food restaurants have come a very long way since I was a child and now offer their nutritional information slapped onto the wrappers, on their websites and even in the stores. Most are offering healthier choices for children and a... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > Pregnancy Top five things I wish I knew before I was pregnant

7 of 14

Writing this at 37 weeks, I might be able to add a couple more later, but for now, the top 5 things I wish I knew before are: 1) Not to continue buying pre-pregnancy sizes after about 28 weeks. Since I was tired constantly, I decided to fore-go trying clothes on after about 25 weeks and just kept following the advice of the ... More..

Travel > Travel Planning & Advice What you need to know when traveling to Mexico

3 of 5

Contrary to most, I do recommend wandering around Mexico via automobile. If you're planning a trip to one of the coastal towns, such as Cozymel or Puerta Vallarta then you're not really planning a trip to Mexico. You're planning a trip to the American Mexico. I highly recommend hopping in one of the family vehicles and drivi... More..

Food & Drink > Coffee Does filtered water improve the taste of coffee and tea?

26 of 36

After recently moving from Arkansas to the Dallas, Texas area, I have to argue for filtered water in my tea and coffee. I have never been the snooty, bottled water guru, but now I have a filtered water pitcher and a filter on my faucet and I won't touch the faucet filth from a restaurant glass. The water here is of very low ... More..

Health & Fitness > Medical Ethics When its ok for a woman to end a pregnancy

5 of 6

Unfortunately, I am always drawn to such topics as this one. Abortion is a topic that will never have a clear decision on whether it is right or wrong and it will be debated in some form or fashion for decades, maybe centuries to come. My stance on this is that there is no such thing as justification for abortion. WAIT peopl... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > After School Should parents raise their children without television?

258 of 306

I think that parents should raise their children WITH television, if anything. The television is not the problem in today's society, but rather the parents/responsible party are the problems with television. To say that children should not watch television because only sex, drugs and violence are on the screen, is an absolut... More..

Food & Drink > Cocktails Drink recipes: Margarita

13 of 14

As an avid margarita drinker, when I started bartending, I couldn't wait to start experimenting with the citrus goodness. It's very difficult to experiment with margarita recipes unless you have your own personal stocked bar at home or know the bartender at the local pub. I found the best margarita really is made with the be... More..

Travel > Travel Planning & Advice Best places to travel on a $500 budget

4 of 4

I think the best place to travel on any sort of a budget is to a state/national park. You could stay in your own state or travel to another one via car and still stay under a $500 budget easily, even with a family of four. Of course, staying in a state/national park does require a tent or KOA with Kabins or a park with cabin... More..

Food & Drink > Restaurant Reviews Restaurant reviews: Texas Roadhouse in Colorado

2 of 2

I have to agree that Texas Roadhouse is a step above the rest of the chain steakhouses. I worked as a server/bartender in one a little over a year ago and I have to say that I was so surprised at the this restaurant. I'm not biased because of my employment, oh no! I left on bad terms, but I was hired before it opened, so I g... More..

Food & Drink > Cocktails Drink recipes: Agua de Valencia

2 of 2

This is a fabulous drink for a hot day, or a cold one, or a rainy one. Really, this drink recipe from the Valencia region of Spain is perfect for any day. In a pitcher, mix the following: 1 bottle of Cava (Cava is a sparkling Spanish wine, but not a Spanish champagne. Champagne can be substituted though, if Cava is not avail... More..
