Being the day after the Emmy Awards I wonder how many celebrities woke up with a headache this morning? I know I did but it wasn't from celebrating a big Emmy win and imbibing in champagne...it was because I went to bed late and was tired from a long weekend!

Have you been outside yet? It's a real scorcher today and temps are supposed to reach the 90s. If you think you're hot, how do you think your furry, four-legged friend feels? Make sure you keep your cats and dogs cool and hydrated every day, but especially on days like today. Here are some other vet-approved tips for keeping your pet healthy.

Labor Day weekend will be here before you know it, and that means you have one more excuse to fire up that backyard grill.

When it comes to cooking, sewing, housekeeping, and other domestic activities, I find myself to be pretty darn good. I am a regular old Suzy Homemaker except for when it comes to getting my hands dirty in the garden. Growing up my mom always had the biggest garden on the block. She grew cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, cantaloupe, green onions, string beans and I got to reap the rewards of all those yummy eats. I also did my share of work in the garden not because I wanted to (I would have much rather been playing with Barbie) but because I had to. Unlike my mom, I wasn't a huge fan of the snakes, worms, and other critters I would find in the garden.

Just because you're on a diet doesn't mean you have to starve yourself. The best way to adopt a healthier lifestyle is to eat healthier foods.
