DANIAL AND I booked a staycation for our 6-month wedding anniversary. But what is a getaway without family and friends? So we had our cousins, niece and nephews over in the afternoon.

THIS INITIATIVE caught me eyes when watching the news today! I especially liked how they incorporated a wheelchair-friendly dental chair to allow wheelchair-users to remain in the wheelchair during dental treatment. It is also heartening to hear the advocacy for specialty dentists trained to serve the elderly and those with special needs. Another step forwards towards universal […]
