Lice Lice Baby

licepost

I have been a parent now for 9 years tomorrow and in that time, I have heard endless times about lice scares. Did you hear? LICE is going around. Did you hear?! Someone has lice in the class! So much so that the question really is – when is lice NOT going around?

What’s a mom to do? Well, a germaphobe like me goes into complete phantom head itching panic. And I don’t think I am alone. The thought of it makes my skin crawl.

Both of my girls were recently exposed, and I of course, freaked out. I ended up calling an Orange County lice treatment business, OC Hair Police, to ask them what to do.

After I talked to her, I felt so much better. Neither of my girls got lice, but I just felt better having the FACTS. Which of course, always inspires a blog post.

So here are the questions I asked Frances Ward of OC Hair Police, who is a professional technician and lice consultant (PTLC).

It’s Time to Talk About Mental Health

pediatric mental health

Last month I attended a press conference at CHOC Children’s Hospital on their new Mental Health Initiative and learned some very eye-opening facts about pediatric mental illness.

The topic is an important one to me yet I have never written about it on my blog. For my entire life I have struggled with anxiety, starting as early as age 4.

But I have never really opened up about my struggles on my blog.

Are you one of the 69% of parents at risk?

If you are one of the 69% of OC parents, your kids are at serious risk, and they don’t have to be.

When my oldest son was born, it was almost 2 years before my husband and I spent a night away from him. Even then, we wrote out pages of instructions on how to care for him. We listed his favorite foods, his nighttime routine, which books he liked (and which voices we used) – all for one night.

If you are one of the 69% of parents who hasn’t named guardians for your minor children, you risk leaving your children forever without the ultimate set of “babysitter” instructions.

See if this sounds familiar – You are a parent of minor children and you have thought about naming guardians and “getting a will” as one of the to-do items on a long list “hafta get it done.” And yet, it keeps slipping your mind. Maybe a celebrity death re-awakens the thoughts, but it’s hard to know where to start.

I CAN HELP.
