Are you a student? And a mom. And a wife. And a daughter. And an employee. And a volunteer. And, well, simply exhausted?

Far too often we put everyone and everything else first in our lives. We put even our simplest needs on the backburner: sleep, enough water, enough veggies, enough exercise.

We have a new blog for you that is going to help put you first.

We want to welcome blogger Christine Cioppa. Christine is a long-time health columnist and now works as a stay-at-home mom and wife who is balancing family and freelance writing.

She will report on health issues for Salute to Spouses and focus on how working moms who are heading back to school can stay healthy and happy through the entire year.

Christine's Blog, Be Healthy, can be found on our page every Thursday morning.

Check in with her, take a deep breath and learn what small changes you can make to ease those hectic, stress-filled days and make your health a priority. Every Thursday our focus is you!
