<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="line-height: 29.187px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN"><span style="line-height: 29.187px;">My wife, Lisa, and I never started out with the goal of being lightning rods in the national debate over autism and vaccines in the United States. We just wanted to understand what happened to our 2-month-old son Jamison and how we could help him.</span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="line-height: 29.187px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN"><span style="line-height: 29.187px;">The year was 2002. After Jamison received six separate vaccines, his health deteriorated and he never rebounded. He developed eczema all over his body. He didn’t sleep for more than 20 minutes at a time. He developed dark circles under his eyes. His stomach became distended, and he looked skinny and frail. He sweated profusely at night. </span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="line-height: 29.187px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN"><span style="line-height: 29.187px;">By the time he was 18 months old, Jamison was sick, needy, rarely sleeping and his behavior was changing. His speech regressed. Lisa and I decided to have him tested and he was diagnosed with autism. </span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="line-height: 29.187px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN"><span style="line-height: 29.187px;">As time went by, we absorbed the grief but decided we needed to know more about autism and vaccines. The more research we did, the more we realized that the medical community was split into two camps. One believed autism was a genetic condition, sort of like Down’s Syndrome. If a child had autism, he always would. They believed parents should accept their child’s fate. The second camp believed autism was an environmental illness, mostly (but not only) caused by the recent massive uptick in the number of vaccines given to kids.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

We were fortunate to find Dr. Lynn Mielke, who was a member of a group called “Defeat Autism Now,” known as “DAN!” </span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="line-height: 29.187px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN"><span style="line-height: 29.187px;">Dr. Mielke, a graduate of Indiana University’s medical school, had completed her psychiatry residency at UCLA. She had been a practicing psychologist until she watched her son disappear into autism after his vaccine appointments, just like our son. Her research led her to the DAN! movement. Her son’s symptoms improved, so she opened a clinic to help other children. </span></span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

The regimen flattened Jamison’s belly, and he stopped leaning on furniture to alleviate his gut pain. He started to have more eye contact with us, and the dark circles under his eyes were going away. We could tell he was more aware of the world around him. Although not cured, he was clearly much better.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

How do you not want to tell others? How do you not want to do all the research you possibly can so you can help not only your child but others who may be in the same boat? </span></span></span></span></span></div>

There are tests available that can determine which children should not receive which vaccines. Plus, there are other factors that should be taken into consideration like if the child has been sick prior to getting a vaccination.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

I would ask our critics to follow the money – who is benefitting from all these additional vaccinations? The revenue for big pharmaceutical companies went from $170 million in the early 1980’s to more than $60 billion today. In 1986, the US government granted vaccine makers blanket indemnity. So the more vaccines they can come up with – and the more of their existing vaccines they can make mandatory for children – the more money they make. </span></span></span></span></span></div>

Lisa and I have learned more in the last 15 years on this subject than we ever thought we would learn about anything. But the bottom line for us is our son and his well-being and helping others in a similar situation. Every minute that we have devoted to finding out the truth about autism is dedicated to him. And if that makes us a target for those who want unlimited vaccinations on children without comprehensive oversight about the possible dangers and without screening for our most vulnerable children, that is a price we are gladly willing to pay.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

<br />
Easter was a great time had by all. The girls enjoyed coming down that morning and looking to see what their Easter baskets had in them. I really enjoy doing things like that for the holidays. Surprises are fun and exciting. The girls never know what to expect. My oldest has figured out about it but she still goes along with it for her sisters. She is the most sweetest child I know. However besides the gifts and all, they do know what the day is all about. What about you? How does your family view the Easter Holiday?<br />

If you are interested in what company I went with. It's a company called <a href="http://www.giftsforyounow.com/" target="_blank">Gifts for You Now</a>. They provided me with three personalized stuffed rabbits with my daughter's names. The quality was amazing and they are super soft and plushy. If not Easter you are shopping for, they do have other awesome products available. If you go now to the site you can subscribe and save 5 dollars on your first order.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With disrupted sleep, throat irritation, body aches, a runny, stuffy nose and more, it’s easy to see why cough and cold season is no fun. While there's a lot you can do to help manage symptoms, staving them off in the first place is even better. There's no surefire way to completely prevent a cough or cold, but strengthening your immune system can be a powerful step in the right direction.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Eat a Healthy Diet</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To help protect yourself and quench your appetite at the same time, look into healthier food choices. Try replacing heavily processed, fatty and sugary items such as fast food and sodas, with whole foods. Foods like fruits, vegetables, legumes/beans and whole grains contain phytochemicals and antioxidants, which are associated with a lower risk for disease. Yogurt containing “live and active cultures” may help, too. In fact, studies have shown that eating a daily serving of common yogurt containing probiotics for eight or 12 weeks lowered the risk of the common cold in elderly people by two to six percent by stimulating the immune system.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You already know the drill: as your immune system works hard, you’ve got to support it by getting enough rest and sleep. That can be challenging when there’s always another errand to run, meeting to attend or social gathering. Defend your need for rest by committing to only what you can manage without increasing your stress levels or sacrificing sleep. While people's needs vary, the National Sleep Foundation has found that adults typically need 7 to 9 hours of snoozing per night. Depending on their age, kids usually need 8 to 11 sleep hours.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 6pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: super; white-space: pre-wrap;">1</span></div>

Routine moderate exercise like walking, biking or swimming, may help reduce the risk of infections. However, you shouldn’t go overboard because intense physical training can have the opposite effect, making colds and other infections more likely. For overall health and to help boost your immune system, you should get at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio exercise five days per week, or 25 minutes of intense exercise at least three days per week.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 6pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: super; white-space: pre-wrap;">2</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Getting more than 300 minutes of moderately-intense cardio per week (without overdoing it) can invite even greater health benefits.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 6pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: super; white-space: pre-wrap;">3</span></div>

When symptoms arise, take steps to ease them. Start by taking an over-the-counter medication to alleviate your symptoms, using the product as directed and if symptoms persist, stop use and ask a doctor. Remember to stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of water, broth or by eating foods with high water content like oranges (another plus: oranges are high in vitamin C content). To help relieve a nagging cough or dry throat, invest in a humidifier to moisten the air you breathe in.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Covering a cough or sneeze is one of the best ways to prevent the millions of germs that come sailing out, from coming in contact with someone else. There are two good methods: Cough into a tissue placed over your mouth and nose, or turn your head and cough into an elbow. And turn away from others whenever possible. </span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Use disinfectant wipes as directed to go over commonly touched surfaces like doorknobs, counters, tabletops and favorite toys at home. Don’t allow your kids to share cups or utensils when one of them is sick, and consider washing communal hand towels more often or using disposable paper towels. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Another way to minimize the spread of cough-related germs is through frequent hand-washing. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention likens hand-washing to a sort of "do-it-yourself" vaccine, saying it as one of the best ways to remove germs, prevent their spread and avoid getting sick. When your family is in the midst of the cold or flu, consider switching to paper towels rather than sharing a cloth towel to prevent the spread of germs. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Single-Sex Camp: Girls-only or boys-only camps can remove distraction, the urge to impress the opposite sex, and make kids feel more comfortable to be themselves and try new things. </span></div>

Consider those that match their interests, but camp also offers an opportunity to challenge them to try new things. Consider activities your child enjoys, ones that foster skills that will help them improve at certain disciplines (acting, cooking, art, sports, etc.), as well learn new things that will make them more well-rounded people. </span></div>

Many camps offer an Open House for parents and kids to see the grounds and meet instructors and fellow campers. This is the best way to get an actual feel for what the camp will be like. This is also your opportunity to ask any final questions you have about the camp (daily schedule, sleeping arrangements, emergency procedures, etc.) and its instructors (how they are trained, vetted, etc.).</span></div>

Plus, it can be a great opportunity for parents to enjoy some relaxation and the chance to reconnect without kids around. </span></div>

Pali is different from other specialty camps because their specialties are so accessible. The programs are encouraging and supportive of all ability levels. They love to see campers explore activities they have only dreamed about; Pali tailors an experience to each camper. Specialties are loosely grouped into four broad categories - Adventure, Creativity, Performance and Leadership. </span><a href="https://paliadventures.com/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #0563c1; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">https://paliadventures.com</span></a><span style="font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13766717084623941832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4835235355340773216.post-62454583876063760472018-02-22T15:47:00.000-05:002018-02-22T15:47:05.403-05:00Aches and Pains#sponsored<br />
<br />
It's no new thing to any of us veteran moms about muscle pain. It can happen at any moment. You may be starting out great. Then after lugging babies on hips and car seats, fighting battles between siblings, who has time to rest?!<br />
<br />
That's why I suggest you skip all the tylenol or motrin and try out a more topical approach. The brand is Salonpas and they have added a new product to the lineup. They added a rollon topical with lidocaine. I swear by their product line for joint pain and muscle pain. They have a lotion and a roll on one. It's well worth giving them a shot.<br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> “Young children have the capacity at a very young age to be academically challenged, and we need to educate them strongly during those years instead of waiting until they are older,” says Alise McGregor, founder of Little Newtons (<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://www.littlenewtons.com&source=gmail&ust=1517461103804000&usg=AFQjCNGC78M2ai32CNKhUkGwc1K6_Q5jbg" href="http://www.littlenewtons.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">www.littlenewtons.com</a>), an early education center with locations in Minnesota and Illinois.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">“Children’s minds are like sponges when they are very young. Under age 5 is the most important time for development and our best opportunity to set up children for success. If we strongly educate children at a very young age, while their brains are so pliable, by the time they reach kindergarten, their brain capacity is much higher.”</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Recent research confirms that the first five years of life are particularly important for the development of the child's brain. Harvard University’s Center on the Developing Child reports that in the first few years, more than 1 million new neural connections are formed every second, building the brain’s architecture. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">This growth of the brain’s network establishes a fertile foundation for learning, thus an opportunity to be better prepared for grade school and beyond, experts say. One analysis of several studies, “Impacts of Early Childhood Education on Medium- and Long-term Education,” showed that children exposed to high-quality pre-kindergarten education performed better academically in later years. Early education also led to higher graduation rates, fewer special education placements and less grade retention.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">McGregor suggests five reasons parents should consider ramping up their pre-K child’s education:</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>• Socialization</strong>. Socialization with people other than the child’s family in a safe environment is an essential foundational element. “It’s important to introduce our children to other children and support their transition into their own friendship groups, and the earlier we do this, it helps children overcome shyness and gain self-confidence,” McGregor says. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>• Personal experiences</strong>. These assist the brain’s organizational development and functioning in many situations, helping children develop learning skills as well as social and emotional abilities. “A good early-education center creates an environment where imagination, love and innovation all come together for a daily adventure,” McGregor says. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>• Enthusiasm for Learning.</strong> Lessons can be given in a fun and exciting way that will encourage children to be effective learners. “Feeling inspired and excited to learn takes root in preschool,” McGregor says, “and can last a lifetime.”</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>• Learning respect for others.</strong> A fundamental building block for happiness, friendships and success in life starts early by learning how to share, cooperate, take turns and be nice. “By carrying on conversations, following rules, listening, accepting consequences of actions, the child learns early how to start getting along in the world,” McGregor says. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>• Resilience.</strong> It’s important that early childhood educators and parents work together to develop resilience in children as early as possible. “By creating a consistent and stable environment with clear expectations and predictable consequences, children can develop skills in managing themselves and their emotions,” McGregor says. “They may experience bumps, bruises or losing a game, but this is the foundation for building coping strategies for greater challenges in life.”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">“The first five years of life are the most critical,” McGregor says. “It is far easier to train a child than it is to fix a broken adult.”</span></span></div>

With the holidays fast approaching and your looking for new or unique gift ideas, I have one for you. It's called the <a href="https://www.airospapillow.com/" target="_blank">Airospa Pillow</a> and its ideal for the people in you life who just need to relax. I really love mine. You can adjust the pillow to whatever firmness or softness you need. You just place your head face down into the opening of the pillow and have the fan turned on to blow the essential oils through. It gives you a calming smell to whatever essential oil you should choose to use. Don't worry about feeling suffocated because there is vent ports on the side. Storage is a breeze, you just deflate the pillow. Setting up is also easy to. You blow it up, insert batteries and sponge with oils on it and place into the pillow.<br />

Hi everyone, I am back with another interesting gift to add to your possible shopping list for Christmas. Or it doesn't have to be for Christmas. Most moms have sports fanatics in their homes. So why not buy them something with their favorite sports team on it? Plus it comes with yummy treat inside!<br />
<br />
I partnered up again with <a href="http://www.gourmetgiftbaskets.com/" target="_blank">Gourmet Gift Baskets</a> to show off one of their new items. It's a popcorn tin, with three delicious flavors of popcorn inside a collectible tin with your choice of team on it. I find that it is the perfect size to last a while plus the tin is very well made with vivid colors. My popcorn tin had Kettle corn, Caramel and cheddar. I just can't get over how very much I love this product from Gourmet Gift Baskets. They never do disappoint me with any of their items.<br />
<br />
Now on to the best part. I get to host a Giveaway to win one a <a href="https://search.gourmetgiftbaskets.com/search?w=popcorn%20tins" target="_blank">sports tin</a> of your choice. Please be advised that I will be needing your information to pass along to the company for shipping purposes. Also Facebook and other social media are not affiliated with this giveaway.<br />

I just love gift baskets, don't you?! I partnered up with Gourmet Gift baskets to tell you about their giveaway for being in business for 15 years. They provided me a lovely basket for my time. So all thoughts and opinions of my basket is strictly my own.</div>

I was sent a new unique item they have up for this time of year. It's a seasonal beer basket. Handful of mouth watering snacks that the flavors go well with the beer. The beers are very wonderful. Most are only made for this time of year to be sent off for Oktoberfest. You get six bottles in total in a very nice bucket secured in place. I find that this is perfect for football season or maybe for the brew man in your life who enjoys a high quality beer.</div>

Beautiful and thoughtful is what each of their items will show. Maybe you have a office space and want to create your own unique calendar, or just a simple mouse pad with your own flare? Or here is a cute idea. Does Grandma keep hounding you for a picture of the grandkids? Well, why not choose a lovely photo of your kids and have it made on to a nice sized canvas.<br />
<br />
I just placed my order for a large canvas of my girls spring photos! I am super excited to get it back because I know it will be perfect.<br />
<br />
The prices are just right on the items.

School is back in session moms. Once you have finished checking off all of the items on your supply list, I have one to add. As you know before long there will be book reports, graphs and etc needed to be typed up. So why not buy from a trusted source called <a href="http://www.softwarekeep.com/" target="_blank">Softwarekeep</a> and get the Microsoft office programs you need.<br />
<br />
I have personally went through the check out process myself. Of course I was provided free product to review, however all of my opinions are honest. I only want what's best for my readers. So as I was saying, the checkout was a breeze. Easily scroll through and find the office program or other software you need and add it to your cart. Everything is secure and once you submit you are good to go.<br />
<br />
They email your invoice and then provide separate email with your register key and download link. I was amazed at how simple it was. Plus for any reason a key doesn't work or any other issue. The support team will quickly get you taken care of!<br />
<br />
Right now they are running a back to school sale of 20% off any software bundle you purchase. Just add the code <b>BACK2SCHOOL</b> in the cart.Who doesn't like saving money!Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13766717084623941832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4835235355340773216.post-85480333828997652962017-09-05T22:12:00.001-04:002017-09-05T22:12:30.367-04:00Snacking for the coffee lover<div>

The brand is called <a href="https://www.funkychunkyinc.com/products" target="_blank">Funky Chunky</a> and is a coffee flavored popcorn snack. The flavors are mouth watering and is great to snack on with your coffee. It's gourmet style that just taste too good share. However, I did give my kids a taste and they loved it as well. I received three bags of different flavors. All of which, I can not choose a favorite.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The bags are resealable so I find that a plus. Everything is clearly labor so no guess work about ingredients and such. As for the snack and what it looks like, it is good sized clusters with mounds of goodness. All made by hand!</div>

<br />
It's that time of year again where we battle the long extensive school supply list. However there is one item on the list that should be included. That would be called Lice prevention. If shopping isn't stressful enough, we now are battling the epidemic spread of lice. We all hate it, especially if you have three girls like I do with thick long hair!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU9wkAk1PdcwR2DycJ1p2hReJoe0Pxe6oskZUecxZi2PTiieCsyjGllaTOxw1QLFnRh2TKcY-Kf9xrgKY8dX9Td_VbG6LHo0fZ0pVjUR9H07-m5QXHMBb-nd36tdZ7rg_iI1P5zk8IrIH3/s1600/IMAG0469.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU9wkAk1PdcwR2DycJ1p2hReJoe0Pxe6oskZUecxZi2PTiieCsyjGllaTOxw1QLFnRh2TKcY-Kf9xrgKY8dX9Td_VbG6LHo0fZ0pVjUR9H07-m5QXHMBb-nd36tdZ7rg_iI1P5zk8IrIH3/s400/IMAG0469.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
So what should you do you ask to help keep the lice away? I suggest products from <a href="https://fairytaleshaircare.com/all-products/rosemary-repel-lice-prevention/" target="_blank">Fairy Tales</a>. They have a complete line of hair care products that have natural ingredients with essential oils. The oils are great at keeping the creepy crawlies away. I'm sorry if the mentioned word lice immediately causes you to flinch or start scratching. Trust me I do it too.<br />
<br />
The hair care line has Rosemary, Citronella and tea tree oil. These naturally repel the Lice. Plus it does not involve toxic ingredients! On top of that it cleanses and nourishes the hair. I really love this brand and what they stand for. The Shampoo, conditioner plus the detangler spray all help protect the head. While leaving your child's hair clean, soft and manageable. The scent is a bit strong at first from the essential oils but after the hair dries it's barely noticeable. If by some in earthly reason your child does catch head lice, they have a non toxic lice treatment kit too!<br />
<br />
If you are interested in any of the products, you can find it on the company site or any other retailer.<br />

It's very personal and has effecting me badly over a couple of years. They always tell you to never say this won't happen or could happen to me. Well I was really wrong, it did happen to me. A few years ago I met a guy online who at first seemed really great. We spent many hours on the phone just talking and getting to know each other. He lived in another state not far from mine so it took some time before we decided to meet. It had been months of talking and us growing really attached to each other. I had noticed a couple of things I was not to sure about but I mainly blamed it on his age. He was still in that party stage.<br />
<br />
One summer we decided to meet finally and spend a week together here at my house. Considering the fact I had children I knew I couldn't just up and leave for that long. We had a great week together when he was here, nothing out of the ordinary. We decided that he could move down here and find him a job. I had already checked him out before making this decision. Yes he had somewhat of a rough past because of growing up homeless but nothing that would harm my children. Things were going great for awhile but then it turned for the worse. He was having trouble finding work due to his past record. Which led him to drinking. The kind of drinking that he didn't stop til I was helping him to bed or fetching a trash can because he was sick. At first it started with small things like fussing with me. But I just told myself he needed to sleep it off. Things will be better in the morning and we can go about our day. Well it did until something else happened and he drank again.<br />
<br />
Finally things hit rock bottom for us and I knew it would probably not get better. The small arguments turned into him insulting me. Putting me down to the point I felt like I was a piece of dirt. I was called worthless and other terrible names that I will not dare type them out. From those arguments it finally reached to the point of him putting his hands on me and shoving me. Or hitting me with a belt across my arms that would have hit my face if I would not have blocked. I have been pinned to the bed and mouth covered to where I can't breathe. Or chocked for a brief moment then he stop. No my children never witnessed these things but sadly they could hear us fighting with words. They knew that mommy was sad and not happy like she use to be.<br />
<br />
Then the worst fight of all happened. He was really drunk and I should have just left. Instead I said something that really set him off. I was chased up stairs and him blocking me from leaving. He had my phone and would not let me have it. I was scared really scared this time. This time I couldn't run to the bathroom and lock myself in away from him. He had me cornered like a caged animal that was fearing from death. I could see the anger in his eyes and I was trying to tell him anything and everything that he would want to hear just to calm him down. But it wouldn't work this time. He snapped and grabbed me and threw me down on the bed. I was punched multiple times to the side of the face and head thrown against my dresser. Finally he ended up wrapping his hands around my throat and squeezing to the point that I blacked out for a moment. I was fighting for my life and all I could think about was prying his hands off and living for another day for my kids.<br />
<br />
He finally stopped when he realized what he was doing. I managed to get us out of the house to make him think we was going to go do what he wanted. I called the cops and they came after he had done left where we was at. They could see the scratch marks on my neck from me fighting him off. I already had bruising popping up on the side of my face. They didn't catch him til a few days later when he finally got tired of hiding and turned himself in. I was a wreck, a emotional wreck. Of course he ended up coming back because I was stupid at the time. I felt like I was stuck with him. And he tried to make it out to be like there was something wrong with me. He tore me apart to where I felt like I was nothing and no one would want me. But God saved me one day when some other issues happened and he was forced to leave. It was from that day I could finally regain myself.<br />
<br />
To this day I still question why I did what I did. Why did I put up with it for so long. I still suffer some nights and days thinking he will come back. Yes he did jail time for the assault. But I still live scared. When you are in a abusive relationship you are torn down to feel like you can't leave. Like you can't make it without them. I understand fully now of how these women feel. I thank God everyday for letting me make it out alive to see another day. So please, just know it can happen to anyone. Just do whatever you can to get out before it turns bad. Don't ignore the flags that are before you. If you know anyone that is going through this give them that strength to leave.Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13766717084623941832noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4835235355340773216.post-54445222893393216612017-07-26T00:13:00.000-04:002017-07-26T00:13:28.288-04:00Brownies with Pistachios & Nocciolata<div class="recipetitle" style="background-color: white; color: #c9a853; font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-size: 28px;">

I have a exciting site you need to check out and it's called Groupon Coupons. As most people are aware of Groupon and the many exciting deals you can buy so that you can save money. However if you don't want to go that route then you should check out their free coupon page. Where there is many stores and sites to choose from. That gives you codes to save on a variety of items. One in particular that I am excited over is <a href="https://www.groupon.com/coupons/stores/booking.com" target="_blank">Booking.com</a>. Groupon Coupon has them listed with many choices to save on your next vacation!<br />

If you are anything like me and are trying to unwind before summer ends then you should totally check the page out and see what fun offers you can find. If you are not interested in travel at this time and are concerned with school shopping. They have stores listed like Amazon as well. Overall it is a great site to check out to save you some major cash no matter the time of year! I know it will help me considering I am heading off Gatlinburg, TN that I booked off of booking.com!<br />

<br/>
It's easy to lose track of kids during a big holiday party, that's why I wanted to share pool safety tips to keep everyone safe this summer.<br/>
<br/>
A child can accidentally drown in 20 seconds and unlike what you see in the movies, kids don't yell for help. That's why every pool party should have a designated water watcher while kids are in the pool, and layered safety barriers to keep kids out when parents aren't around.<br/>
<br/>
<a href='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-D76m39KupY4/WVqv9IpuYsI/AAAAAAAAPRg/tkPHxXPXhTYqZa5ftRpFk4cR3ThJMoQHQCHMYCw/s2560/%255BUNSET%255D' onblur='try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}'><img border='0' src='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-D76m39KupY4/WVqv9IpuYsI/AAAAAAAAPRg/tkPHxXPXhTYqZa5ftRpFk4cR3ThJMoQHQCHMYCw/s640/%255BUNSET%255D' style='display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;'/></a><br/>
<br/>
Rules for water watchers:<br/>
<br/>
Sit close to the edge of pool<br/>
<br/>
Do a regular headcount of swimmers<br/>
<br/>
Step in when play gets too wild<br/>
<br/>
No texting, reading or watching videos<br/>
<br/>
Don't leave the pool area without a replacement<br/>
<br/>
Kids never want the party to end, which is why Life Saver Pool Fence also advocates installing multiple barriers to keep kids from entering the pool when parents aren't around. It's especially important for toddlers who don't understand the danger. <br/>
