Walking in a Winter Wonderland
Pristine snow encapsulates the driveway and the surrounding yards, while more snowflakes descend with brilliant tranquility. My dog Milly immediately adds some yellow hues to this picturesque scene, highlighting the flower bed beside our front door. After relieving herself, she enthusiastically tugs me back inside the warm house. Milly is not what you would call a "snow dog."

The Wolf Conservation Center Cries out for Understanding and the Wolf's Importance to the Environment
The Grey with Liam Neeson is a very entertaining film in which a group of plane crash survivors find themselves stranded in the territorial hunting grounds of a large, ferocious wolf pack. Ruthlessly and mindfully stalked, only Liam Neeson remains as the human alpha to face a canine counterpart that puts species supremacy above its own survival. Leaving the viewer looking into the determined eyes of the two combatants, the lack of an onscreen outcome still amounts to pure movie magic. But the reality of the entire scenario is as likely as a great white shark jumping on a boat to eat its aggressors. More troubling, this type of broad misconception leaves Maggie Howell of the Wolf Conservation Center in South Salem with her work cut out with her.

Children Over the Holidays
There is something to be said about spending the holidays with family. There is something to be said about visiting distant relatives and watching your children open presents. There is something to be said about time with grandparents and letting your child be a little spoiled because, after all, it is the holidays.

Nature's Healthiest Hair Remedies. Top Story - January 2018.
For the majority of women, we've all known, at one time or another, what it feels like to have dry, brittle, lifeless hair with split ends. Whether it's from bad weather, inadequate products, a bad diet, or heating accessories that damage the hair, we've all been there, trying to bring out the best in our 'do—trying to test and find the perfect hair product to bring our hair back to life and heal our split ends. Our hair can get unhealthy, from the sulfates in our shampoos to the 345 degree heat frying our hair coming from our straightener, and the point is that it sucks. Not only do the majority of average quality shampoos have sulfates in them, which dries out our hair, but let's admit it, not every hair product that's advertised works as good as it would all natural. The more natural the product and remedy, the better it will heal the structure of your hair. Feeding our hair naturally is as essential as feeding our body naturally.

Post Natal Depression
It’s funny, I always wondered why mums had post natal depression. You have a beautiful new baby, some women would give their right arm for a child, so what is there to be depressed about? You come home from hospital with your bundle of joy and the house is full of flowers and visitors and Dad is home on paternity, the grandparents practically move in and the neighbours drop in a casserole. Your 4 year old is whipped away to McDonald’s so you can have some peace and your reassured the school runs are taken care of for the week. Bliss! Then a fortnight later everyone stops calling, Dad's back at work and you can’t wait to get back to “normal.” Except normal isn’t normal anymore because now there’s another person in the mix. A person who needs you 24/7. Which is fine except your 4 year old needs you too. At first you carry on as you already know how, your well placed routine, but that doesn’t work anymore, but you know you can do this. Next door does it, umpteen mums at the school do this hell the woman opposite has nine children this will be a breeze!
