Warm greetings on a cold day to all of you House of Buckle blog readers! I hope your 2020 is off to a great start and those New Year Resolutions you made a month ago are still going strong!

April is Irritable Bowel Syndrome month. Bet you didn’t know that. What is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)? IBS is a common intestinal disorder that affects the large intestine. It is also known by the terms spastic colitis, mucus colits and /or nervous colon.

Its April and that means SPRING TIME!!!! Spring is one of my favorite seasons as the birds start to come back from their winter migrations, flowers start to bloom, grass starts to look green, the air has that extra freshness to it and the temperatures start warming up.

With April being Alcohol Awareness month I thought would be a great time to just take a moment and hit upon this really important subject. Now I know many of you are probably rolling your eyes right now and getting ready to close the blog but just hear me out!

You probably didn’t know this, but March 25 is National Sleep Day here in the US! Who doesn’t like sleep? Bed time is one of my favorite times of the day! I think most people will admit that. When you are laying in bed at night, before you fall asleep its dark, peaceful and there is a certain comfort that settles over you. Further, nobody expects anything from you at that point in time.

Yeo! How’s the craic? Yup, its March and that means Irish eyes are smilin’ because it’s St. Patrick’s Day, boyo! While many of you are making your list for ingredients for Irish Stew and going over your green wardrobe options, you may not realize that Ireland and especially the Celtic people have a rich history in herbalism as traditional Irish medicine is based on such.

The keto diet is extremely popular right now. And for those of you still grinding out that “New Year/New You” resolution you made (Congrats!!!), this one is for you.

With the month of February comes Valentine’s Day. This romantic holiday is celebrated by millions of people all over the world with people giving their significant other the usual assortment of flowers, candy, stuffed animals and dinner for two. With chocolate sales spiking this time of year we thought it would be great to take a second and highlight the health benefits of dark chocolate!
