Too lofty a goal to keep kids in a loft safe and still make it beautiful?  Our interior design man, Randy Florke, tackles the challenge and makes you wish you were under the age of 25.  Just one thing, he didn't say anything about being 6 feet tall.  Now there's a lofty challenge...

Menopause. 

Interesting that the word, for both men and women, should have a "pause," in it.

Why?

Because in the event you are in it or confronting it, you should do just that.

Pause.

Take a beat.  Examine your lives.  Your coupleship. 

Ever insightful, relationship expert Nyiri Grigorian finds the silver lining.

A Little Help Goes a Long Way.

While there might not be a Beatles' song in there, many of us that remember the Beatles just might be

"in there..."

In where, you might ask?

"The heat bubble."

Menopause.  Hot flash central.

Change of Life.

Sex expert Miriam Baker is here with the upside and the theory.  "A little help goes a long way."

A life lesson....  

Yes. Pregnancy can be a hot topic, but what to do when the pregnancy occurs in the toilet and....it's not a baby but a brain!

Good thing it's just a dream.

Lauri Loewenberg, Bedtime Network's dream expert, is here to make sense of it all.  

Hint: Giving birth.  Yes.  It may just be a metaphor.

What are you doing when you're sleeping?

Hopefully, you're in bed dreaming, but if you're walking around (or painting, like artist Ed Hadwin), 

you're not alone.

Sleepwalking.  There are operas written about this stuff (think: Bellini's "La Sonnambula.") A somnabulist aka: sleepwalker.

If you're one of these, be sure to wear comfy shoes to bed.

Hormones.  They might as well be called, "her moans."  In the first part of life, it's the period that may make you groan.  In the next stage, it's the hot flashes.  One way or the other, your sleep is likely to be affected and that's when the grrrs and arrrghs really start.

Gayle Reichler, our resident nutritionist and author of Active Wellness, takes on the challenge.  To supplement or not to?  

That may be the question.
