Paige and I now have three teens between us. *Sigh* Aside from the fact they have grown up way too fast, we are now faced with the MOST difficult stage of parenting (our opinion). I liken it to the end of a long race. We are in the home stretch and either you kick it into high gear, or you lose. Problem is, we’re TIRED! And, we don’t see a lot of other parents of teens offering much advice. I think they are too busy trying to win the race to blog about it! Seems like there could be more commiserating out there!

Asthma Tip of the Day! Have you completed your TRACK test yet! TRACK is a simple tool caregivers can use to help determine if their child’s breathing problems are under control. Remember TRACK is for all young kids with frequent respiratory problems, not just those who have been formally diagnosed with asthma. If a child scores 80 or less on TRACK then their breathing problems may not be under control. Try it out at www.asthmaTRACKtest.com and talk to your child’s doctor about the results.

Today’s Asthma Tip: Although 80 percent of children with asthma demonstrate symptoms before age 5, there are limitations to objective lung function tests for children in this age group, making it difficult to asses respiratory and asthma control in young children. Now parents can use the simple TRACK test to help determine if their child’s breathing problems are under control. Download TRACK at www.AsthmaTRACKtest.com.

I had the chance to see Julie and Julia recently, and I LOVED it! It was warm, charming and very entertaining. Kudos to Meryl Streep! She is amazing. I smell an Oscar nomination! I would highly recommend it and hope that the guys won’t be scared off! My husband loved it too! Let us know what you think when you see it!
