You may or may not know this, but I love journaling, and have been an almost daily journaler since 2016. I'd love to say it's for the neural benefits that are delineated in this short video, but really it's to justify my obsession with stationery. Also I just love the satisfaction of using up all the ink in my pen, or completing a notebook.

But really, there are so many benefits to journaling for self care, neural plasticity, emotional regulation, and stress reduction that makes me want to share this little joy with you. I hope you try out this fun hobby/habit! If you do, let me know! I love hearing the different styles of journaling and the different preferred supplies! Currently I use 3... One agenda and record keeping, one for lecture or reading notes, and one for jotting down things about Edison and zinnia that I want to remember. What do you do? What do you want to try?

Have you ever felt mentally cluttered — full of thoughts, yet unable to focus? You scroll endlessly, drift between tabs, and struggle to form a single clear ...

From crushing 300lb barbell lifts to struggling with simple movements like carrying her dog 🐾 or bending over… lower back pain had taken over Leigh Ann's active lifestyle.

Ever notice how just adjusting your camera angle makes a huge difference? The same goes for your posture.

Slouching doesn’t just look uncomfortable, it actually signals stress to your brain. Standing tall? That tells your body “confidence, calm, and focus.” 🧠✨

Everyday habits like tech neck and desk slouching can sneakily drain your energy and mood. But the good news is: small shifts, mindful breaks, and quick stretches can completely reset both your body and your brain.

So next time you catch yourself fixing your camera angle… don’t forget to fix your posture too. 😉🙌

Happy birthday to me!! My husband built me this planting box as my birthday present 🎁 and this weekend we decided to plant seeds with the kids! Edison chose wild flowers 🌹🌺 for our pollinators and on Zinnia's side we put some rainbow carrots 🌈 🥕... Will they turn out?? We will see in a few weeks! It's really fun to get our hands dirty, and try to turn these red thumbs green...

Bonus-- the kids look forward to checking the seeds every day (multiple times a day) and are learning about life cycles of plants as well as understanding the importance of tending to the plants' needs. Me being me, I relate it to them. "Does the plant need box juice or does it need water? Do you need box juice or do you need water?" Etc.

Ps. I recognize I look a mess but... U kno... Unfiltered life haha!

As September is Safety Baby month and today is Spinal Cord Awareness Day, it is a reminder of just how important spinal health is, even from the very start of life.

👉 Did you know that over 80% of infants experience some form of spinal stress or misalignment during birth? Whether it’s from a long or fast labor, a breech position, or interventions like forceps or vacuum extraction, the birthing process places a lot of pressure on a baby’s delicate spine and nervous system.

When these misalignments are left uncorrected, they may contribute to challenges such as:
> Colic or constant fussiness
> Difficulty turning the head or favoring one side while feeding
> Breastfeeding challenges
> Digestive discomfort (gas, reflux, constipation)

💡 This is where gentle pediatric chiropractic care can make a big difference. Early chiropractic adjustments are safe, specific, and tailored to babies to relieve spinal stress, restore proper movement, and support healthy growth and development.

Dr. Zhu is passionate about giving your child the best start possible. Early intervention means addressing potential issues before they grow into bigger concerns later in life.

This September, let’s raise awareness together! For safer, healthier babies and a brighter future for our little ones. 💕
