I was live today! Here are some fun events happening for families if you live on the South Shore.

Life is full of adventures, whether we want it to be or not. Some adventures can be fun, like meeting new friends and finding out about their interests. Claire Kroft has written "Adventures of German Shepherd and Egret". It is a story about a German shepherd who meets Adam the Egret. Together they meet animals who are doing what they can to help the world. The story shows that adventures can happen at any time and you don't need to perform a large task to help the planet.

"Inscribed" by Celia Bray tells you what you need to know about your body and what it is trying to tell you. The book goes beyond the general meanings of anxiety and helps you tune in to the messages and how you can live a better life by decoding those messages.

Routines bore us, but rituals can ground us. Everyone has rituals that can help them through their day. Melanie Lane Durham's book, "Every Day Magic" helps Edie find the magic and rituals in her everyday life.

He-Man and the heroes of Eternia will be on the big screen starting June 5. As someone who loved playing with the action figures and watching the cartoon, I'm excited for this. There was a He-Man movie that came out in the 1980's. It wasn't terrible IMHO.

Surrogacy is getting a lot of press recently, but some coverage can get a few key facts wrong. From who chooses to become a surrogate to how compensation works, there’s a lot of outdated information that can shape one’s opinion.Here are the 7 myths we’re asked about most, and experience-based answers for each.

A lot of people like to laugh. Some people need to laugh after a tough day at work or school. Some are grumpy and don’t want to laugh. Laughing is good for you. James Croft knows this and he wants to share a story that will make you and your child laugh. It makes you feel better. What could be better than to find out the funniest thing people can do? And what was it that made the hyena laugh his pants off? I’ll give you a hint: There’s an elephant sleeping under the tree.

You hear a lot of talk about the environment, especially with the Amazon Rainforest. Andrew Keith Slayton has written a book about a boy who needs to rescue his dog from a land developer who is capturing exotic animals for a one-of-a-kind zoo. He wants to ask his father for help, but his father is also involved in shady business practices in what is called "The Lungs of the Earth". Thankfully, there are native tribes deep within the Rainforest who might be able to help Oliver and Scratch.

There’s a lot that goes into a good night’s sleep. You may not realize this, because you’re just focused on surviving the day and making it to Dreamland. Thankfully, there are people whose business it is to make sure you get a good night’s sleep so you can face the day when it’s time to say, “Good morning, Starshine.”Some of these people come from iSense. These good people are aware of the struggles I face from sun-up to sundown, so they wanted to send me something to make it easier for me to answer the shrill of my alarm that disturbs me in the midst of my slumber. For my pain and weariness, they sent me their FlexiCool Adjustable Pillow.

No matter what you're doing, it's important to stay hydrated. If you haven't tried Wonder Juice, you're missing out on healthy drinks that taste great. Are you getting enough fluids? It's important, especially during cold and flu season.

Did your grandparents give you advice when you were younger? Did anyone give you any knowledge? I remember some of the things my grandfather told me when I was growing up, and Dominic Gentile has a thing or two he would like to share with his grandchildren. Dominic would like to share some of his wisdom with you with his book "Live Boldly: 65 Lessons for a Life of Meaning, Grit, and Grace".

Are you a woman struggling with intimacy? Dr. Danielle Armour wants to help you with her book "Awaken Your Body, Awaken Your Desire". This book looks at the root of your problems and focuses on how to heal stress and reclaim your sexual vitality. You are not the problem, and it is not in your head. It is a real issue that can be treated and help you if you suffer from sexual dysfunction.

The Holidays are here! If you're looking for some great wines for your celebration with family and friends, you might be surprised to know that Israel is the source for those wines. You knew Israel played an important part in the source of the Holidays, now you know it's a great source for something to celebrate the Holidays with!

Everyone wishes they learned financial literacy sooner. We try to pass on what we wish we knew to our children. Melissa Cox has written a great book about learning to be smart with money. You can pass these lessons to your children. If you're having trouble starting that conversation, check out what's inside.

The little guy who loved playing baseball and trying to catch frogs walked down the aisle recently. The family was there for the happy occasion. Let me tell you a little about my baby cousin.
