Duck Duck Goose

It was great to meet so many mamas at Duck Duck Goose last week. We were delighted that the LittleRockMamas reusable grocery totes were so popular. We'll plan to have them at future events. Go here to find out if you won one of more than a dozen great prizes we collected for the event.

"If you're being chased by a lion, is it a good time to reproduce?  I dare say 'No', and your mind and body would agree," says Dr. Eva Selhub, a clinical instructor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School and a senior staff physician at the Benson Institute at Massachusetts General Hospital. "When the mind perceives that you are fearful and in stress, stress hormones like cortisol and adrenalin (among others) are produced. As these stress hormones move into circulation, they begin turning off the systems that are not needed during time of fear and stress, when survival of the species is in danger, like your digestive and reproductive systems."
