Special Diets
When my son was three I asked my pediatrician if I should take my son off milk or gluten. He said no need since there was no evidence of milk causing any issues of autism. My son loved icecream and that was the only food he craved for. He loved those little debbie zebra cakes…

Trails
Off late we have been crazy about walking on trails. What began as a 10,000 steps a day has transformed into 5k walks. So, where can we enjoy these 5k walks. Of course on a trail! The Montour connects to other rails-to-trails in western Pennsylvania and beyond: the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) and the C&O…
