Real Food Matters

Posted on by

How well does your family eat? Sometimes, it can seem like the easiest solution to dinner is the best choice, especially when busy families are balancing after-school activities, homework, and everything else. Fast food is quick, but generally not the healthiest way to go. Instead, families should change their lifestyle to include real food. Don’t worry if you feel that learning about real food, how to cook it, and where to buy it, seems overwhelming. There is a fantastic website that can teach you everything you need to know. BantingWarehouse understands that real food matters. They provide information for people … Continue reading →

Mercedes-Benz Disses Freemasonry?

Oh, that crazy Super Bowl XLVII!  First, Beyonce flashes a little diamond sign and before the game is over, the Internet is abuzz about how she and hubby Jay-Z must be a part of the Illuminati, that secret group trying to rule the world. And, speaking of secret groups trying to rule the world, there was another Super Bowl controversy you may not have heard about.  There was a Mercedes-Benz ad, which featured Willem Defoe as a character who appeared to be the devil. I watched the ad and honestly, I paid so little attention that I didn’t even know … Continue reading →

What To Expect From The What To Expect Movie

If you are pregnant, there’s a good chance that you are aware that one of the most popular pregnancy books out there has been turned into a movie. “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” has helped many women (and men) to understand what goes on during pregnancy. I have read the book, and have found it to be a great resource that I referred to often during both of my pregnancies. When I heard that the book was headed for the big screen, I began to wonder how a movie about being pregnant would do in theaters. While I have … Continue reading →

She Ate What?????

After you give birth to your baby, you give birth to the placenta that nourished your newborn during his time in utero. A growing number of women are having their placenta processed into pills that they take during the postpartum period. Why on earth would anyone want to ingest their placenta? A placenta is very rich in nutrients – it is the means by which nutrition from the food that a mother eats during her pregnancy is transmitted to her growing baby. Research has shown that consuming encapsulated placenta can ward off postpartum depression and give new moms an energy … Continue reading →

Postpartum Hair Loss

Since you are pregnant, you may be wondering about what happens after the baby is born.

There are also other things that happen too, and you may not know about them until they happen because they are not really things that people talk about that much. One of those things is postpartum hair loss. Of course, no one is going to say “wow, you’re pregnant – … Continue reading →

Things You May Not Know About C Sections

Whether you are planning a c – section or not, there is always the possibility that you could end up delivering that way. My second son, Blake, arrived via c – section after he began to show signs of stress during delivery. I had not been planning a c – section and knew next to nothing about it. There was no real time to anticipate it or become afraid, because I was moved out of my room and into the operating room with barely any time to think. Fortunately, the operation went well and both Blake and I recovered quickly. … Continue reading →

A Better Grocery Shopping Experience

Grocery shopping is not my strong suit, I’m never organized. I usually stop at the store on the way home from work and pick up a few things. When I do decide that I need to go grocery shopping I usually wander up and down every aisle, picking up whatever catches my fancy, no method to my madness. Once I get it home, unpacked and put away I realize that although I’ve spent my entire grocery budget for the month, I don’t have everything I need to make meals. Maybe I have the stuff to make Alfredo sauce but no … Continue reading →

When Everything Is In Disarray

In my last blog I introduced myself to you and gave a general idea of the topics I would like to cover in housekeeping. I think that before we can even get into products or tools that will help; we need to address a common issue. That is, the state of your home may be in such disarray that you really don’t know where to start. When things look impossible, we tend to put it off. But the more you put it off, the worse it becomes and the harder it becomes to do something about it. So today you … Continue reading →
