Technology!

Is technology becoming ridiculous!? Are we creating needs unintentionally! Who really needs the IPad right now? I can bet you we will create a need for it and soon people will not be able to live without it! We did that with radio, then casset tapes, then CD's and then MP3 Players also with Plays, to Radio, to TV, to VHS to DVD to DVR to (blue ray maybe... hasnt really caught on yet) There are so many other things as well. What is next? What will we need?

Why is it so hard!?

Why is it so hard for me to take a day to myself and not feel the need to be productive! I feel guilty even thinking about asking for someone to watch my kids without a reason, "i just need alone time" is so hard to get out. Well i finally did it and my mom watched my little ones for a whole day for me! I got to watch TV (the shows i wanted to watch ) Go to the grocery store childless, do a pole aerobics lesson, go to Lowes with a friend. It was nice! I highly recommend taking some me time.THANK YOU MOM

Mother's Day

I had a GREAT Mother's Day surrounded by family and friends! I really hope you all did as well!
It is so important to remind all of the mothers in your life that they are here for a reason and are doing a great job and motivate them, not just for one day but every day! (of course this is if they are truly doing a good job)
Life throws a lot of curve balls our way and we need the reminders!

Food Revolution

I think the show is shedding some VERY MUCH NEEDED light on the subject. Childhood obesity and diabetes rates are SKY HIGH we need to be so much more cautious about what we are feeding out children and ourselves. Weight is not genetic.... why then are the children who are overweight have overweight parents? Children learn from watching us and by us taking the easy way out and handing them an unhealthy salty snack we are teaching them to crave salty things as snacks. There are so many options out there that are easy and cheap that are so much healthier. For example; raisins, unsalted trail mix (or making your own), natural granola bars, fruit leathers, berries, fruit, fiber bars, lunch meat, cheese.
Another HUGE problem is potion control and a way to minimize this is if you know there is extra food put it away and in the fridge before you serve dinner, accept the veggies they can eat their fill of those. you don't need to cut out any food groups as a diet just learn how to eat it in the best possible way and the correct amount. We all know about the food pyramid but do we ever use it?
I hope this helps someone and if you have any suggestions or comments feel free to post away!

High Heels of Little Girls?

is it wrong to put high heals on little girls. The media has eaten up that celebs are putting their little girls in matching styles as themselves all the way down to the high heels they are wearing.
I believe wearing high heels is a right of passage into being a young woman. But after seeing what they do to women's feet (bunions, deformities, injuries) why would you want to start this at a younger age. Do i think that you are a bad mom for letting your little girl wear heels? No i do not but i dont think it is the smartest choice.
What do you think?

The Bright Side

When you are stuck in a situation that you cannot change why dwell in all of the negativity? As of today i am making a vow to you as my readers and to my family to look at the bright side of situations. Of course there is a time to mourn and a time to be sad or angry but i am talking about after that, do not stay there. Look for the beauty and the lighter things in life and talk to people and surround yourself with people that are positive
