Hilary, the creator from Pulling Curls is a nurse.  She’s worked in several areas including pediatrics, geriatrics and hospice, as well as labor and delivery.

As always please take the advice of your provider over the advice of anything on this blog.

Strep throat is something that plagues many families.  As are bladder infections, the stomach flu and ear infections.

My love of family health coincides with my love of Disney.  I’ve shared how to take care of your feet there, as well as how to go to Disney after quarantine.

I also share tips on things like shaving during pregnancy, pinworms, lice what medicine to have on hand for families.

I am big on the judicious use of the healthcare dollar.  I am the member of a healthshare, and I use essential oils when indicated (but clearly, as a nurse I use the hospital as well).

First aid supplies are general things most families keep on hand for emergencies. They aren't going to cover EVERY emergency, but most of them. As an RN for 20 years I have a good idea of what to keep on hand.
