Men and the Balancing Act: How Today’s Dads are Doing it All
The balancing act. For years (if not decades), the term connotes the image of an often-harried mom trying to juggle and balance it all: a job, family obligations, spending time with her significant other/kids/in-laws … while seamlessly managing hearth and home. But more and more,…
You + Your Hairdresser: It’s Complicated

The New World Now: Fresh Looks at America’s Oldest City
I fell in love with St. Augustine while pedaling a sea foam beach cruiser bike around the old city and out Highway A1A to the Atlantic. I ate Florida “honeybell” tangelos from my backpack and gazed into a campfire after long days of adventuring. I…
Silly Adult: Camps are for Everyone!
The summer before sixth grade, my two best friends and I went to Girl Scout sleepaway camp and had the best time ever. I still remember most of the lyrics to the songs we sang, the names of our 19-year-old counselors (who seemed so old…
Papa’s Got a Brand-New Bag: How two local guys changed fatherhood forever

Sativa Health Products: Is CBD the next wonder drug?
It all started with a storm and a frightened dog. Cynthia Groff first discovered the power of cannabidiol (CBD) when Hurricane Matthew blew through Hilton Head Island in October of 2016. Having safely evacuated the island and settled into an inland hotel, Groff got a…
What's New in Disney's Hollywood Studios
