Nice to meet you...

I totally believe the more you know, the less you worry (present day economy excluded).

That is certainly true of medicine. It's true of parenting. It's true of cooking, starting a business, buying a car and lots of other things we do.

I'm writing this blog so that all of us can ultimately know more and worry less. This blog is a reflection of my passions, my concerns, my loves... so you can count on posts about medicine, parenting, baking (not cooking, just baking), books, shopping, business and Gossip Girl (I know!) being a part of it.

First post. How about a little background please... Briefly, this is my story.

Girl (this is me) from Missouri grows up to be a nurse.

Boy (this would be Luke, my husband and partner) from Wyoming grows up to be a doctor.

Girl meets boy in Colorado, falls in love with boy and boy falls in love with girl.

Boy moves to Chicago. After months of long distance love, girl moves to Chicago.

Boy and girl get married and have baby.

Boy, girl and baby move to Milwaukee.

Baby chokes one day at lunch. Girl freaks out in her own head for a second then regains presence of mind and saves baby.

Girl worries what would have happened if baby was with someone else, would they have known what to do, would baby be alive?

Girl and boy create baby MEDBASICS so other boys and girls don't have to worry about knowing what to do if their baby chokes.

Boy, girl and baby move to NYC .

Girl and boy have one more baby whom on a daily basis tests his own ability to stuff large amounts of food in his mouth, kind of chew it, gag and finally swallow it.

Girl and boy are very happy and relieved they have a baby MEDBASICS home pack in the kitchen and a travel pack on their stroller so no matter who is taking care of baby, they will know what to do.

See how this works?

You can now worry less because you know that with

baby MEDBASICS you too can save your baby's life.
