Instead of holding your child’s next birthday bash at a fast-food chain, try this nutritious spread at home instead. A nutrition-filled spread guaranteed not to spoil the fun at kiddie’s parties.

In the aged of fast-food, kids are overexposed to burger, French fries, hotdogs, fried chicken, chips, and loads of sweet desserts. It is important for kids to get proper nutrients every day. Offering them healthier alternatives is a great first step to healthy eating habits.

Main Course:

Burgers in fast-food chains usually contain a lot of preservatives and are highly greasy. Instead of bringing your child to a fast-food chain the next time she wants burgers and fries.  Why not prepare them yourself at home? Burgers can be made healthier by using lean parts and by grilling instead of frying them. There more alternatives to beef; you can use minced chicken, tuna, tofu, or veggie meat. Baked potato wedges are healthier substitute to French fries.

Desserts:

Instead of sugar-and-fat-loaded desserts like cookies, ice cream, and candies, serves fresh-fruit skewers or other fried chips, why not start serving baked versions or replacing them with homemade trail mix? Get your kids involved by putting up a snack counter where they can make their own trail mix.

Drinks: 

Opt for serving fresh fruit juice. Stick with real fruit juice and water and limit the intake of packed drinks that contain a lot of preservatives and sugar. Remember that the word “drink” (i.e. “orange juice-drink”) on the packaging is not 100% fruit juices are have additives.

Making food for your children ensures you of the ingredients that go into the food that they eat. Children may not be accustomed to these kinds of food, but they will enjoy it once they become familiar to the unique taste and flavor.

Trimony 18 - a rare genetic disorder were Former PA Senator Rick Santorum's daughter suffered and is putting his campaign on hold right now as he has a bigger battle to handle he has planned to spend time with his hospitalized daughter. "Rick and his wife Karen are admitting their daughter Bella to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Saturday evening. 

Santorum had been scheduled to appear on NBC's "Meet the Press" and attend church in Miami. Officials did not cancel Sunday's afternoon events in Sarasota and Punta Gorda.

In October, he missed one of Bella's surgeries to participate in a debate and told the audience that he planned to take an all-night flight home from Las Vegas to be with her. "I look at the simplicity and love she emits," Santorum said in a web video his campaign released after his scheduling drew questions, "and it's clear to me we're the disabled ones."

 His daughter Bella suffers from Trisomy 18 (also known as Edwards Syndrome),a rare genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of an extra 18th chromosome. Yesterday, Rick Santorum's daughter (just 3 years old) was admitted to CHOP.

Infants born with Trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome) may have kidney malformations, structural heart defects at birth, intestines protruding outside the body (omphalocele), esophageal atresia, mental retardation, growth deficiency, feeding difficulties, breathing difficulties, and suffer from many other abnormalities. Many children born with this disease don't survive beyond one year. In fact, many fetuses die before being born. And, when children are born with Trisomy 18, many die due to just one problem popping up and depleting the immune system further. Then more problems compound from there.

Bella Santorum's condition is so deadly that even a common cold can result in death.For the first time in three decades, Mumia Abu Jamal will not be secluded on death row. He has been moved to general population inside the Mahoney facility at the Frackville Prison in Schuylkill County.

Sports are the best method of recreation. Everyone plays one or another game in his free time. Sports help us to relieve our burden and set aside our worries. Sports help us to remain fit and in shape throughout life.

When we talk about the importance of sports in the life of a child, it is beyond price. Sports help a child grow in a healthy manner. They build confidence in him. Children learn teamwork as well as competition spirit when they play. Children learn to work and hard to win and in this way they realize the importance of winning. They also learn to follow rules and regulations and discover how to make a good strategy for winning any competition.

Sports help children to grow fast and get strength. Sports person are much tougher than others. Sports create resistance power in children for fighting with germs. Sports help children in their all around development-physical, social, emotional, ethical, and mental aspects. They will gain knowledge of controlling their emotions while playing games. Sometimes their friends are on the opposite side; at these moments children learn the bitter fact that no one is a permanent enemy or friend in this life.

The couples need to speak, listen, share, sing, get dressed up, write things down, or do whatever else it takes to express the feelings in your hearts. Best known for her plain talk about human sexuality, I encourages setting time aside each week to read and discuss one of the lesson written. Do this together weekly for a full year, and it could make a world of difference in your relationship.

Here is a sampling of the valuable tips and advice you’ll read about:

DO tell your partner how you feel and what your needs are, but choose your words carefully and express them at the right time. Be sure what you are saying is what you want him or her to hear.

DON’T wait until you are blind-sided by sudden crisis, tragedy, or anger to express your feeling.

DO unplug the TV, put away the to-do lists, turn off the computer screen playing in your mind, and find some quiet time alone to be with each other.

DON’T focus on old grudges or make promises you can’t keep. Apologize if you need to or accept your partner’s apology; then move on.

DO close the blinds, lights some candles, listen to your favorite songs, and take time to reconnect if you’ve been apart.

DON’T expect to find an instant soul mate. New love needs time to grow, but when both people work at it, the rewards can be incredible.

DO deviate from routine. Be spontaneous. Plan something unexpected. Boredom is one of the leading killers of intimacy.

DON’T miss any opportunity to touch. No matter how fleeting the moments may be, make every hug count.

ABOVE ALL…..DO keep the conversation flowing…it will strengthen the bonds between you and keep you connected with the one you love.. 

How do I choose a unique baby name that doesn’t sound too strange?

Ø                 From Celebrities to Things in Your House:

Combine two names that you love, names of parents and other significant relatives, or spell some names backward to come up with a unique one. You can name your child after celebrities, cities, street names, landmarks, or even things that you find inside your house. But remember not to overdo it. After all, your child will be the one using it for a lifetime!

 Watch for Possible Jokes

Choose a name that goes with your surname and middle name. It also helps if you know the meaning of your child’s name so it wouldn’t be the topic of jokes. For example, I failed to notice that Paco sounds like pako or nail in Filipino. So, when people heard the name some said, “when he’s little child his name in thumbtacks”.

Ø     Link it With you Baby:

Choose a name that reflects your beliefs, ideals, hopes, and wishes for your child, the circumstances of your pregnancy or conception, or an unforgettable event when you gave birth to your child. But make sure your child won’t have difficulty saying, spelling, or writing his own name.

The Daily reported last week that Paula Deen would soon be coming clean with her type 2 diabetes diagnosis, and today that's exactly what she did. Today she launched a new diabetes-drug site and hit this morning, opened up to USA Today. And she's been trying to keep it a secret — until now.  Deen "is about to come and confess that she can’t eat her own dishes not anymore because she diagnosed has diabetes." Reported in the National Inquirer the same story , but now the Daily says Deen is poised to come out with the news because she's worked out the deal to be the spokeswoman for a pharmaceutical company" that will see her pushing the Novartis diabetes medication she takes. 

Deen tells USA Today about her decision not to say something sooner: "I felt like I had nothing to offer anybody other than the announcement. I wasn't armed with enough knowledge. I knew when it was time; it would be in God's time."Neither Deen, nor her team, is talking, but sources familiar with the situation confirm the diagnosis rumors for Grub Street. It makes sense: Deen made a mountain of money peddling her butter-soaked food, and now she's poised to make even more dealing with the aftereffects.

Deen's kitchen has a reputation for the fatty, the buttery and the over-the-top pointed out that just a few notorious recipes have included fried stuffing on a stick, ribs casserole and red velvet cake. But will the diagnosis change the way she cooks? Some believe she has a responsibility to model healthier behaviors for her viewers.

Some days you may push love aside, other times love may push you around. Just make certain in your heart and in your head that you are working in unison when creating your canvas of love.

Since, you “fall” in love; many people treat love as if it were some strange beast over which they have no control. But you have more say over your emotions than you think. Put a sad movie on the VCR and you’ll cry. Dance to your favorite pop tune and your spirits will pick-up. You can have a similar effect on the setting of your love dial.

While love can be overwhelming at times, or so subtle you can’t tell it’s there, that doesn’t absolve you from honing your skills as a lover. The best lovers have the most control, not least.

Even if you’re head over heels in love, you should keep some control, or you risk driving away the person you adore. These are times to go overboard and other times to bank that excess love.

And at the other extreme, it your schedule is crammed twenty-four hours a day, you can’t forget that you have a partner who has needs that must be met. Sure, there are days when you can take out a loan that you promise to pay back with interest, but you can also overextend that type of credit and wind up bankrupt. You don’t need any special skills to be an artist at love. You just need to always aware that you are a lover at heart.

Just like painter mixes colors to come up with various shades. You must do the same because even love can be boring if it becomes too monotone. So some days, even if you’re not feeling overly romantic, turn up the heat. Shout “I love you” across the room. Put a little more oomph into that hug. Not only will your partner appreciate your use of the brighter colors in your palette, but it will probably change your mood as well.

It’s okay to have a few secrets

There’s nothing wrong with having secrets. Your fantasies may be better left unexplored. Once revealed they may cause jealousy. Locked away they can’t do any harm. But too many secrets may create walls that block the feelings you may you meant to share. The trick is deciding what to reveal and what to keep behind the evil.

Have you given you lover an all-access pass to your past? Or are there areas remain off-limits?

If a revelation will, make you uncomfortable, then your partner may feel the same. Since you don’t want to cause pain, maybe that secret should remain hidden. This is particularly true when it comes to information about former partners. What you did in private with anyone else probably should remain private. Jealousy can be a hard beast to master, but particularly so when it’s being well-fed-by images dragged up from the past.

But if you’re hiding information to maintain control, then your love, too, is being held back. You want your partner to know who is he or she loves. If you keep almost everything about your past and many things about your present, too, off-limits, then you’re asking someone to love only your shadow and not the real you.

The dividing line can be gloomy and deciding what to reveal difficult. Look into your heart to find the answer. Then make sure you follow its directions.

TIPS:

Before you reveal a secret, put yourself in the place of the person to whom you are about to offer it. See if you can feel how they will react. If you think that person will be hurt, then stop those words right in their tracks.

It’s obvious to any woman who has spent more than five minutes talking to a man that the two sexes are not wired the same way. And over the past decade or so, studies have helped psychologist understand exactly why male and female brains process things in such desperate-often opposing-ways. One of the most surprising discoveries undercuts the traditional notions that mean are naturally better at managing money than women are.

Women have the temperature not only to set financial goals but also to achieve them. Here’s how you can harness your inborn tendencies and use them to your cash-accruing advantage:

Beat into Your Caretaking Instinct

When someone’s down for the count with a nasty cold or nursing a broken heart, the person standing at the door with warm chicken soup or cold Chardonnay is like to be a woman. You can trace those loving tendencies to our ancestors: Men were the hunters, women the nurturers. Fast-forward millions of years and today’s women feel just as responsible-for husbands, kids, friends and aging parents. “When it comes to saving, women don’t just think about themselves,” Savings, for many women, often working toward a goal that will benefit loved ones in significant ways.

Ask for Directions

Remember who it was before GPS? You and your guy driving around clearly lost. You’d want to pull into a gas station and ask for help; he’d insist he could rely on his inner compass. Chances are, you deal with finances in much the same way. Research shows that women are aware of their lack of financial knowledge-which may suggest they’re more willing to ask for advice. Women are less likely than men to make poor financial decisions as a result of overconfidence. “Men tend to view asking for help as a sign of weakness. But women view it as a rational thing to do. As a result they gain critical info and often make smarter decisions.

Let your Mediator Head Exist

Women take fewer financial risks than men do, but not because we’re wusses. Both sexes produce the hormones oxytocin in stressful situations, but women produce more of it, which helps us stay soother. “When it comes to the stock market, a man might fear missing out on a hot tip,” There are times a cautious nature can work against you. Single women were more likely than single men to choose conservative asset allocations-CD, money market funds, etc.-for retirement accounts, which means they may not have been makings as much from their savings as they should have been.

Act All Grown Up

It’s exactly a big surprise that women mature easier than men do. As a result, they tend to display better judgment, particularly when it comes to money. This difference, say experts, can help women get off financial footing at an earlier age- and that’s huge advantage, because the simple fact is, the earlier you start to save and invest, the more time your money has to work for you.  

We were all so excited everyone in our family,

Getting together to decorates our Christmas tree.

Our tree was decorated with lots of twinkling lights

Different colors of Christmas balls all hung just right.

Popcorn carefully strung together by us all

Caramel apples made by Mom. We were having a ball.

It was Christmas Eve and we couldn’t wait for Daddy to see,

How we had decorated the Christmas tree.

Suddenly there came a loud knock on the front door,

It was very loud one you could not ignore.

Mom opened the front door and a policeman was there.

Why he was at our house we all soon became aware.

There had been an accident you see,

Our daddy had flipped his truck hitting a tree.

The policeman said the front seat was filled with lots of gifts.

The ones he was bringing home to give our little hearts a lift.

A wife and a mother suddenly left all alone,

With five little children to raise now that Daddy was gone

How was our sweet Mother suppose to get by,

None of us really knew what to do

All we could do was just cry.

 How do you replace someone as special as this?

How were we supposed to get from him a hug and a kiss?

We don’t really care now about the presents anymore,

Please, God just let our Daddy come walking through the door.

Please have the policeman come back and say,

 “I’m sorry I had the wrong house. I’ve had a long day.”

Our Daddy would never be coming home anymore,

We would never again get to see him walk in the front door.

Please don’t wait to show your Dad all of your love,

Just give him a big hug and say, “I love you and I’m so glad, you are the one I get to call Dad.”

Women believe we have to do it all, all the time. But taking time out gives you renewed energy and focus.
The world won’t come to a screeching stop the progress of if you relaxed off for a day. Read on to find out why you need to decompress from time to time, and then check out our divine suggestions for doing absolutely nada-your health and happiness depends on.

Women believe we have to do it all, all the time. But taking time out gives you renewed energy and focus. More people are over scheduled today than even before,” We’re overloaded with so many TV channels and Web site- with so much at our disposal, we feel guilty if we want to do things.”

For most women, taking a complete time-out even temporarily in unthinkable-but that’s exactly we desperately need. Because women are encouraged to fill up their lives-and are naturally good at doing many things at once-they may not realize when they’re near the breaking point, “The problem is that it’s easy to forget to take any time to stop and recharged, which is absolutely necessary to rejuvenate your body and soul. “ While the urge to accomplish and achieve is admirable, it’s bound to backfire it you don’t allow yourself the occasional break. As we’ll explain, a little bit of nothing goes a long way, and if you laze a bit every now and then, you’ll fell less stressed instantly, more creative, and happier to boot. Here’s how to embrace the let-to-go mind-set.

The Reasons Women Multitask
Blame it on your fierce female mind. “Women’s brains are hardwiring to do numerous things at once, whereas guys are better at focusing on one thing. Studied have shown that he area of the brain shuttles information from one side to the other is bigger in women that is in men, enabling us to process more info at once. And it’s a skill that gets put to use like never before in these stimulating high-tech times. “Technology not only enables us to work more hours and from more locations, but it also allows us to do many things at once-like read e-mails and listen voice mail while typing a text message into a cell phone, “So we think because it’s possible, it’s preferable-we should do more because we can.”

Why We Deny Ourselves Downtime
As a society we told to keep busy and get ahead, so the idea of doing nothing sees wasteful and selfish. Couple that with fact that this generation is incorrectly perceived as lazy, and it’s easy to feel like if you take time out, someone will scream “Slacker!” The workplace maybe the biggest guilt inducer. In this lagging economy, letting on that you’re not a workaholic can seem like a risky career move. And when they’re finally officially off the clock, many women bring their workaholic ways to their personal lives. “Single women realize they aren’t going to meet the man of their dreams while sitting at home. It starts to seem like if you skip one party, you could miss meeting The One. Women feel like they have to be at every social event or there’s a whether its juicy gossip or a new job connection.

Beware! “Healthy-looking” come-ons and attractive packaging can unconsciously get you eating and drinking more than you think you should. Here’s what to watch out for.

So you want to lose weight but do you take time to really read the labels? These days, you’ll find cans of soda or bottled tea or juices meant to serve two or three, not just one; or “family-size” packs that have you eating the whole bag yourself.

We’re not saying you should avoid these products like you do shoulder pads and high hair. But a little consumer vigilance on your part can help make sure you don’t wreck your diet with these snacks and condiments.

TIPS:

Ø The food will always be there:

“But while this new, healthy you are here, it won’t hurt to let go of the chips for a while.”

Ø Look at exercise as fun:

“Don’t be insulted when someone suggested that you go the gym. It’s something you can enjoy.”

Ø Acknowledge it:

“Tell yourself ‘I need to lose weight.’ Then embrace the support you’ll get from your family and friends.”

Eat more fruits and green leafy vegetables to nourish you body. Leafy vegetables are low in calories and fat but are high in fiber, which keeps you light but satisfied. Fruits have soluble fiber, which makes food digest slower and lowers your cholesterol. Try to pick water-based fruits like watermelon, melon, pear and apple to make you feel fuller but keep the calories low.

The freedom to show their emotions. I believe this is the source of our strength-if we cannot freely express ourselves, we will be forced to take on a facade that ultimately becomes the source of their weakness.

As a woman, they love that they don’t have any society pressure to become president of some hoity-toity corporation, marry a trophy wife and afford a fully furnished home with 2.5 kids and a dog. I love that our gender is still being constantly defined, and how that process of definition is really up to the woman that and make up.

The freedom to show their emotions. I believe this is the source of our strength-if we cannot freely express ourselves, we will be forced to take on a façade that ultimately becomes the source of their weakness.

The challenges of making it in a man’s world. The ability to handle multiple tasks, having less facial hair, and …men, clothes, multiple orgasms stilettos!

That they have PMS to blame for their mood swing an emotional outburst. They love how we have infinitely more fashion options than men and how we have the ability to drive men with just one look.

Having a women’s body-a naked body is a sight to behold, its beautiful! But a man’s body? They’re pretty scary naked!

Having a wider scope of emotions makes them more instinctive. They can do anything I set my mind on yet not be embarrassed or afraid to ask for help if I need it. They love that they can be strong, smart, be playful, have long hair and get away with I. getting away with murder just by smiling.

That they can be one of the boy’s even if they’re completing opposite! They can act like a kid, laugh and cry unabashedly without looking like a fool. And of course, fashion. For being able to use my femininity to get what I want while at the same time being pampered and pursued.

That charm that’s innate in every woman. Its’ like having instant power over men. Beauty and strength bottled into one body-that’s woman. The bond women share-the bond between girlfriends, mothers, and daughters, sister and how men are at our beck and call.

The innate ability to be anything they want to be. The freedom! They can be strong, vulnerable, stoic or emotional. They can wear many masks and don many hats. It’s all part and parcel of being a woman! They have so much power and if used properly it can enable us to achieve so much!

Rudyard Kipling once said. “The female of the species is more deadly than men…” I agree!

There’s no sexual high as amazing as the passionate, emotionally charged lovemaking you have after a big row. But it is possible to recreate those feelings without tempers flaring. There probably isn’t a woman anywhere who hasn’t the high of break- up’ sex.

 You’ve just had a screaming row with your boyfriend who has left you shaken, hoarse and tearful. After the argument, you both say sorry and, before you know it, a comforting cuddle turns into a passionate kiss, which, in turn, leads to fantastic, loving sex. You have an orgasm so intense that, as you lie there afterwards, sexually satisfied and more in love than ever, a voice at the back of your mind saying, ‘wish it could be like that every time.’ So, a week later, you pick another fight- it’s traumatic but you know what it will lead to will be so delicious, you can’t resist.

To get the kind of sex you want, you need to recreate the emotional intensity that, until now, you’ve only achieved after confrontation. It is possible, says psycho sexual therapist Paula Hall of Relate, a relationship counseling service, but you have to do your emotional homework first. “You need to bring out protective, passionate feelings in each other. Make-up sex is about reinforcing the fact that you’re in love, but there are other ways to do that.”

One of the attractions of post-argument sex is the risk factor: Emotions are high and you both feel exposed and vulnerable. Capture these butterflies-in- your- tummy by sharing fantastic and erotic talk. “Fantasies are, by definition, thrilling. By sharing them, we can live on the edge of our sexual boundaries without crossing them and hurting our partner.

And, if you’re still feeling there’s certain edge lacking, have fun with the pillow fight- it’s physically harm. If a pillow fight doesn’t appeal to you, gets your adrenalin high by renting a scary video or going wall climbing. No, really. Anything that increases your adrenalin levels will lead to great sex.

The way you make you love is as important as the mood you’re in. “Post-argument sex is very different from day-to-day’ lovemaking,’ “It’s hungrier, more urgent and original. We’re using our bodies to express what we can’t say and undo the words we did. So kisses tend to be deeper, there’s more skin-to-skin contact and we use our entire bodies to make love to each other.”

Beyond Injury: Preventing Common Causes of Infant Morality

National Statistics Office was indicated that infant mortality rates in the Philippines involve 35 deaths per 1,000 live births. Here are the lists of common causes of infants’ death during their first months of life:

Perinatal Conditions

This is the period around childbirth, especially the five months before and one month after birth. Most infant deaths result from the following:

·         Poor maternal health and nutrition

·         Insufficient care during pregnancy and delivery

·         Inadequate care for the newborn baby

·         Infections

·         Birth injury

·         Aspiration syndromes

·         Problems relating to premature births and congenital heart diseases

“It is crucial that the risk of infection on babies is prevented through a mother’s regular pre-natal checkups and good nutrition’s.”

Pneumonia

This can be prevented by keeping baby in an environment that is neither too cold nor hot, and by avoiding contact with people who have respiratory infections. “Prevent overcrowding in the house and have your baby immunized with the pneumococcal vaccine.

Stomach and Intestinal Inflammation

Characterized by inflammation of the stomach lining of the intestines, gastroenteritis carries other symptoms such as headache, nausea, virus and diarrhea. Diarrhea which disables absorption of nutrients and leads to dehydration is known to be a major cause of infant mortality worldwide. If a baby bottled-feed, make sure to do antiseptic preparation of milk and other feeding paraphernalia.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)

This phenomenon of seemingly healthy infants’ unexplained deaths that is associated with sleep has puzzled doctors and researchers in previous years. The risk can be prevented by letting baby sleep in the lying on back position to avoid suffocation. Moreover, let baby sleep on a firm matters, not on a pillow or any soft surface.
