For years, we have been told that using extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) at a high heat was causing it to lose its anti-oxidant properties. I recently found 2 studies showing that olive oil is safe to fry with and can be much healthier than any other frying choice, even coconut oil.

We had the incredible opportunity to float the Grand Canyon this past week.  280 miles of incredible scenery, sheer cliffs, slot canyons, water falls, rainbows, and even an eclipse.

I was on a road trip with my 2 daughters last weekend.  They were arguing and fighting off and on, and I was getting frustrated.  I launched into some lecture about how they new better than that, and they should look for the good...blah-blah-blah (I know Dracula, you don't say blah blah blah).  In the middle of the blah-blah-blahing, I realized I was in the middle of doing some awesome Shame Parenting.
