Over a week ago I injured my back — spasms! Spectacular! — just a few days before I was due to leave for a family reunion/Dad’s birthday/Cardinals spring training trip in Florida. Thankfully, Dr. Dolly came to my rescue with some good advice and a visit to help me get on the mend as fast as possible. I’m still healing, 10 days later but I did make the trip and hobbled around like an old lady. I don’t think I would have been able to get on that plane on Wednesday if it hadn’t been for Dolly (so thank you again!).

This was the first time I had ever hurt my back this way and I was shocked by the number of you who told me on Twitter,  that you had experienced a similar injury. Thank you to everyone for the thoughts, wishes and good advice. I’ll be a lot more careful in the future so I don’t hurt myself again!

Dr. Dolly offers up really helpful and practical parenting tips on Traveling with Baby especially her Tuesday Travelers series, with this post covering travel in central Florida and this awesome post for all you moms gone green — a comparative review of cloth diapers!

If you are a new mom or a mom-to-be, Dr. Dolly is a must-read. Even though I’m well past that stage, one of these days (YEARS, PLEASE — KIDS, ARE YOU LISTENING?!) I may just have a grandbaby and all this information is going to come mighty handy. (I sure hope I’m well on my way to fifty before that happens.)

I’m happy to say that Dr. Dolly is another in-real-life friend right here in Charlottesville, Va.
