Home Appliances are counted as the basic necessities of every home. Refrigerator, microwave oven, washing machine, air conditioner, water heater and much more are considered as the essential home appliances you need to have in your home. If you have missing one or two of these basic home appliances, then you must search for the store or market from where you get your desired products at discounted rates. To get a high-quality product at a competitive rate, you need a little bit research. We are doing this difficult task for you and making your ways straight to the savings. Here are the top five tips that will surely help you save money on home appliances.

Know Your Needs

Appliances are progressively tech-oriented, offering digital reveals, "smart" technology, and a host of other attractive (and unnecessary) features like Samsung's tablet fridge and much more. These innovations radically increase the cost of appliances significantly while providing no basic performance benefit. So, study up on all the available models and makes to identify what you exactly need. Keep in mind, while LED lighting will lessen your overall energy bill, digital displays and several different options for ice will only raise the purchase price.

Negotiate

Like many highly-priced items, there is often twist room in the price. According to General Consumer Reports, only 34 percent of surveyed buyers negotiated on big appliance deals. The remaining percent of those hagglers received an average discount of $100. Local appliance retailers may offer a discount for cash payers, while big-box stores may reduce the price of a store model. If the sales associate or manager is incompetent to lower the price, he or she may offer free delivery and installation or free haul away, which is an incredible saving. In the end, you never know unless you ask!

Track, Compare, and Match

Big appliance retailers such as Sears, Home Depot, Lowe's and BestBuy will price-match identical items, with Home Depot and Lowes offering 10 to 20 percent off competitor prices. BestBuy also matches their online prices with competitors like Amazon. Once you find the appliance you want, use a barcode-scanning app to compare prices among local retailers easily. Seasons, promotions, and product life-cycles all are counted as a factor to price fluctuations, that is why tracking costs are essential even after purchase.

Check for Coupons and Deals

Nowadays, almost every shopper understands the value of coupons regarding savings. You should also keep in mind the importance of coupons and deals before you make your purchase. Online shopping stores like Overstock, Sears, Amazon and similar major stores offer coupons and discount for their customers. You should also look for Overstock coupons and Sears Promotions to make your purchase little bit more inexpensive. There are dozens of online websites available on the internet from where you can get coupon codes for these online stores. EzCouponSearch and PerkyCoupons are the great examples of coupons site. You can easily get your desired store's coupons from them.

Wait for Holiday Sales

Appliances are one of the favorites of holiday sales and promotions, so hold on until Black Friday and Labor Day for seasonal specials. Most appliances are inexpensively priced in September and October when manufacturers release new models, making older models a real deal. Freezers are the one exception since the new stock is introduced in June; making early spring is the better time to buy. Keep in mind; year-to-year promotions are typically limited to features and style, so buying last year's model of the freezer will not put you at some functional disadvantage.
 Here you can get 7 Surprising Causes of Dry Skin tag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2017-02-21:988554:BlogPost:1759197 2017-02-21T12:13:50.000Z Kelly Everson http://www.mombloggersclub.com/profile/KellyEverson

Women often struggle to achieve beauty, including beautiful skin, because they tend to judge themselves based on the harsh and stringent standards set by the society. What they fail to understand is that being beautiful only counts their own, personal perception of themselves. Style star Coco Chanel said so earlier, "Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself."

The 7 surprising causes of dry skin.

Healthy, youthful looking skin is the product of many factors but, most obviously, that of bare naked, beautiful skin. While it's easy to come to that conclusion, it's almost never that easy to achieve this ideal state of skin — not oily, not dry skin.

Below, let's deep dive into the causes of dry skin and what is in your power to do to correct this condition:

Poor diet and lack of exercise.

If you feed your body garbage, you see garbage. Of all the organs in your body, you see manifestations of poor health on your skin first. The state of your skin is often a prelude to some imbalance happening inside your body. So, when you notice getting more acne breakouts, dark under eye circles, enlarged pores and more irregularities in your skin complexion and texture, chances are you have an unhealthy condition beginning to unfold.

Stress and lack of sleep.

Notice how your skin becomes drier and duller the morning after spending the previous night out late dating or partying or finishing up an important monthly sales report. Staying up late to your skin means having less time available to repair damaged skin cells and rejuvenate your overall complexion.

When stress is chronic, it becomes more of a burden that an advantage. Stress and lack of sleep leave your pores wide open, allowing moisture to escape into the air around you as it leaves your skin with much less the level of hydration it needs to feel and look healthy.

Diseases and medications.

Some people are born with congenital skin condition like eczema which leaves skin dry and severely irritated. If you have this condition, you have a chronic tendency to have poorly constructed outer protective layer of skin which easily breaks but takes more time than normal to be rebuilt.

Acne and skin ageing treatments can have drying effect on the skin. So too do hypertension medications like Simvastatin. Other diseases, including diabetes, can leave skin dry and prone to inflammation. In which cases, you need to seek out professional advice for a possible medication replacement while some skin diseases may need prescription only drugs.

Harsh ingredients.

Skin, though it may seem highly impenetrable, is prone to irritation and inflammation. Most of the time, people claim that they have sensitive skin but, according to the American Academy of Dermatology, people often have hypersensitive reactions to harsh ingredients which their skin products are commonly laden with, most especially alcohols and fragrances.

Make it a habit to check the labels. Learn about ingredients to look for and to avoid so you can better understand what's written on the package.

Extremely hot and cold environments.

Whether indoors or outdoors, extreme weather conditions can suck out the moisture from your skin. When outdoors, your best shield is layering protective clothing. Use the proper gears and clothes when you're going out into the snowy winter surroundings or, if you're expecting to soak in the sun longer than usual such as when diving or surfing.

When indoors, you have the liberty of adjusting the temp to a more forgivable level and even install a humidifier to keep the moisture content of surrounding air at a high level.

Too much washing.

Too much cleansing, most especially with water that is too hot or too cold, can easily dry skin. Keep to a twice daily cleanse. A third wash may be excused after you sweat from a workout. When you do cleanse, make sure to use only a mild cleanser and a lukewarm water to avoid damaging your skin.

Unnecessary sun exposure.

Protect your skin from the biggest culprit of dry and aging skin: the sun's UV. Too much sunlight can permanently damage your skin's ability to capture and retain moisture over long periods. Sunscreen is a good idea but the best solution is to stay in the shade when you don't have anything important to do under the sun.

CONCLUSION.

It's time to say goodbye to dry skin. Stick to the tips above and you'll be on your way to beautiful, well hydrated skin in no time.

Whitening your smile is one of the easiest ways to gain instant self confidence and you can't help but feel like a million bucks. People get their teeth whitened for a number of different occasions from weddings to senior pictures.

Unfortunately, most teeth whitening procedures cost a pretty penny. No need to worry, I have created a list of three easy ways to whiten your teeth at home that won't break the bank.

Hydrogen Peroxide and Baking Soda Teeth Whitener (Toothpaste)

Here is what you will need:

Hydrogen Peroxide (Walgreens Hydrogen Peroxide 3% First Aid Antiseptic)

Baking Soda (Arm & Hammer Pure Baking Soda)

Toothbrush

Water

Small bowl

How To:

1. Wet your toothbrush.

2. Pour one ounce of the hydrogen peroxide on your toothbrush.

3. Pour about half an ounce of the baking soda into a small bowl then dip your toothbrush in the baking soda.

4. Brush your teeth like you normally would for two minutes. The hydrogen peroxide and baking soda mixture should have a reaction to the water on your toothbrush, creating a gritty paste. Pay more attention to the teeth that show when you smile and make sure you do not swallow the mixture.

5. Rinse your mouth out with warm water and thoroughly rinse off your toothbrush.

6. Repeat this process only once every four months. The hydrogen peroxide/baking soda mixture is too abrasive on your teeth to use more frequently.

The total cost for this whitening treatment is only $1.99 for about 16 uses, which equals $0.12 per use.

Lemon and Salt Teeth Whitener (Toothpaste)

Here is what you will need:

One teaspoon of lemon juice (Realemon 100% Lemon Juice from Concentrate)

One teaspoon of table salt (Morton Iodized Salt)

Toothbrush

Water

Small bowl

How To:

1. Pour one teaspoon of the lemon juice and one teaspoon of table salt into a small bowl and mix them together.

2. Wet your toothbrush and dip it into the bowl with the mixture.

3. Using your toothbrush like you normally would, brush your teeth with the mixture for two minutes. Pay more attention to the teeth that show when you smile and avoid swallowing the mixture.

4. Rinse your mouth out with warm water and thoroughly rinse your toothbrush.

The total cost of this whitening treatment is $2.45 for about 27 uses, which amounts to $0.09 per use.

Lemon and Salt Teeth Whitener (Mouthwash)

Here is what you will need:

One teaspoon of lemon juice (Realemon 100% Lemon Juice from Concentrate)

One and a half teaspoons of table salt (Morton Iodized Salt)

Small cup

Water

How To:

1. Pour one ounce of lemon juice and one and a half ounces of salt into a small cup and mix thoroughly.

2. Swish the mixture around in your mouth for about 30 seconds, like you would with regular mouthwash, then spit it out. Do not swallow the mixture.

3. Rinse your mouth out with water.

The total cost for this whitening treatment is $2.45 for about four uses, which equals $0.61 per use.

Now you have three inexpensive ways to get that bright white smile you've always wanted. Make sure you keep your smile this way by brushing and flossing your teeth daily, avoiding food and drinks that stain your teeth, and scheduling regular appointments with your dentist.

 How to Choose the best scooter for your kid? tag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2017-02-21:988554:BlogPost:1759186 2017-02-21T04:29:31.000Z Karen Cole http://www.mombloggersclub.com/profile/KarenCole

As soon as your baby learns how to stand and walk, he/she wants to play games and the demand for toys will increase. For many kids, they would ask for a bike while a larger percentage of the pro-active kids would request for a scooter. Shopping for a scooter needs one to do a lot of research and ensure that what he gets for the baby is comfortable. With so many scooters in the market, making the right choice is often difficult.

As soon as your baby learns how to stand and walk, he/she wants to play games and the demand for toys will increase. For many kids, they would ask for a bike while a larger percentage of the pro-active kids would request for a scooter. Shopping for a scooter needs one to do a lot of research and ensure that what he gets for the baby is comfortable. With so many scooters in the market, making the right choice is often difficult. Some of the factors that should be considered are:

Stability.

Unlike an adult, a kid needs to learn how to best ride the scooter and you should put the stability as one of the major considerations. Normally, scooters for kids have more than two wheels in order to ensure the stability. The older the baby, the less wheels that may be required for stability, you will get advise on the best scooter for the kid in a certain age bracket. As they get older, you ought to consider buying for them some scooter models that are more advanced.

The height of your kid.

When shopping for a scooter, it would be advisable that you should go with your kid in the scooter shop. Ensure that the kid tries different scooters in order to check what height would best suit him. Check your child position while on the scooter. Even if you are shopping for a fascol mini folding scooter online, you can get the right height for your kid from a store and get the right height before you can buy the scooter. For the right height, the handle bar should be at the level of the chest of your kid.

Consider the material used to make the scooters.

The scooters designed for the kids are usually made of plastic and/or metal. The plastic ones are usually light in weight. For the plastic materials, these are specifically for the children who are lss than two years. If your kid is older than 2 years, it is recommended that you should buy a metal scooter. These will not only serve the intended service but they are also durable.

The scooters that are made of aluminum are generally light in weight and if you want something that is more durable, you should consider buying a scooter that comprises a mixture of both steel and aluminum.

The handle bar.

Due to the high growing rate of the babies, it would be advisable to go for a handle bar that is adjustable. Also, ensure that there are grips in order to prevent the hands from slipping. The best handle bars are made of rubber in order to absorb the sweat as well as avoid friction that could otherwise cause blisters on your kid.

I like to listen to my son talk about his plans for the future. They include him working as an engineer in NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, yet somehow living next door to me so he can help me cook sometimes. These plans also include him being a marine biologist on the weekends.

 When he tells me all about his future, we talk about the type of salary he would be making and how that money would go to pay for all that traveling he is going to do as the JPL is nowhere near our home state.

"You mean you are not going to give me an allowance anymore?" he asks.

 And it is a good question, because a lot of parents are still giving their children allowances, even after they have graduated from college. Of course, it isn't really called an allowance at that point, but more like rent help.

 I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with getting a parent's help or that I never received rent help before: My Mother was kind enough to pay my first month's rent when I got my first job (thanks, Mom!). However, I think it is a shame that young people who are trying to break into fields where their passions lie (especially the artistic ones) make such little money that they have to rely on their parents until they are further along in their careers.

 It must be hard to feel like a full-fledged adult when you still need some financial support from Mom and Dad.

 Do you give your children an allowance? How much per child? Tell me in the comments.

At the growing stage of life, your little baby needs much care in every aspect. Especially when their teeth are coming out then they need special treatment. Here we are talking about teething necklaces that are specially designed to assist kids during teething phase.

 You might know Lauren Lake well from the hit courtroom show Lauren Lake's Paternity Court, but did you know that she is also an ardent, all-around go-getter and believer in limitless living? In a recent conversation with Lake, we learned that she believes wholeheartedly in not getting in a box or even living in a box and she believes in life without limits. Those are the two undisputed keys, we learned, to Lakes' success. And, her successes are many. Lake recently celebrated 500 episodes of Lauren Lake's Paternity Count, is a featured celebrity judge on Centric's new entrepreneurial show, Queen Boss, and is slated to launch her Limitless Living Conference in Atlanta later this year. Not only that, she is a sought after legal analyst and expert for show like Access Hollywood, The Today Show, and the Wendy Williams Show. She does all of these things because she does not believe in living a life with constraints.

Lauren Lake believes that all women should live the lives they want and deserve and there are no reasons she feels why women can't have it all and credits her late mother and father with the freedom to be herself.

"I am able to be those things because my parents allowed me the room to grow and to discover," said Lake. "I owe this to them because they gave me that room. I never felt there was something I couldn't try or even to experience."

Lake believes more women should adopt that philosophy in their lives and that is one of the reasons she is launching her upcoming conference to discuss limitless living. The Limited Living Conference runs from October 20 - 21 and is intended for multi-cultural, working women and mothers.

"It's time for us to have a gathering place where we come together and we figure out how to get to that next level of living," Lake said. "It doesn't matter where we are in life. You're always thinking about that next level and how to get there."

Lake also co-founded the Women in Entertainment Empowerment Network (WEEN) that helps to empower women of color to see the possibilities of a career in entertainment.

"We started out doing events all over the country and then we started an academy for women between ages 18 to 26. We wanted women to understand that there are women behind the camera. There are a myriad of things that have nothing to do with just being in front of the camera."

Lake is also contributing her expertise to Centric's Queen Boss, a show that was recently described by Forbes as the Shark Tank for women of color. It allows black women and other women of color to put their businesses and innovative ideas in front of women who have created multi-million dollar businesses and brands themselves. A tough, but practical judge on Queen Boss, Lake asks tough questions of all the entrepreneurs who are vying for $25,000 in seed money. When Lake hears a pitch that is well thought out and makes sense to move forward she is their biggest champion in the conference room, but she is also quick to point out flaws that can be improved.

"Let's be honest, as women of color we do not have the same amount of resources to further our businesses, or even the knowledge," Lake mention when discussing Queen Boss. "And we are managing so many things in our lives: motherhood, being wives, heads of the households, and managing other careers. It highlights the women who often don't get the shine they deserve."

With all that Lake has going on, she won't be slowing down or settling down anytime soon. We were impressed by how positive and empowering Lauren Lake is for women everywhere. She owns her future and is very smart about it. By taking a few pages out of her book we can live a better, more fulfilled life.

New and expecting parents are a difficult breed to buy gifts for. There is so much that they need and could use, but then again having a baby is an extremely personal experience. You don't want to step your boundaries or take away any magic of baby shopping.

Before we proceed to our suggestions, we have a quick tip. Make your gift into a themed basket. Add matching accessories to your main gift and preferably a personal message from you. With that in mind, here are our ideas on some of the best gifts you can buy for expecting parents.

A Baby Bath Tub

While most parents will eventually buy one, a baby bath tub is a great gift for expecting parents. Like we discussed, customize the gift with some accessories. Add some bath time toys with the bath tub, a cute towel hoodie, and maybe even some scented candles. The candles are of course for the parents not really the baby.

As a gift, we recommend you got for a padded product that comes with soft inner cushioning that keeps the baby safe during the bath. Other features include a baby sling, built-in thermometers, extendable sizes, and positioners. Choose a good baby bath tub for the recipients of your amazing gift.

Baby Food Makers

Many health-conscious parents are weary when it comes to feeding their babies products bought off a shelf. They want to be involved in the food making process as their baby grows older. Baby food makers help them with this phase.

Again, add some baby recipe books, some personal humor, and maybe even some cute baby bottles to assemble your gift basket. One fun product you may want to add is a baby food dispensing spoon. It is simply a squeezable soft bottle with a spoon at the end. The parents fill up the bottle with baby food and as they squeeze if fills up the spoon which they can use to feed the child.

Rocking Chair / Comfy Sofa for the Nursery

What many expecting parents do not expect is the heavy amount of time they spend soothing and rocking their newborn. Soothing while standing is exhausting and while sitting is uncomfortable and limits motion. A rocking chair is a perfect solution for young parents. Of course this is one of the bigger items on our idea list but it is one of the best ones.

You can customize the covering or cushions of the chair/sofa to be baby friendly and present it as your gift to these new parents.

Baby Equipment Like Baby Bouncer, Baby Walker or Baby Jumper

If case you want to be more creative and present the expecting mom something that will be highly effective for the baby, a baby jumper, bay walker or baby bouncer will be great as a gift. These are super helpful equipment for the parents to take great care of their babies.

Baby Grooming Kit

The expecting parents will buy oils, moisturizers, shampoos, soaps, and what not for the baby. You can surprise them early by gifting them a baby grooming kit. Do not buy one off the shelf but assemble it yourself. It is best to include organic oils and other organic products which are best for babies.

To make this personal, cute, and amazing, add the cutest parts of the grooming kit. A cute baby hairbrush, sweet little nail clippers, thermometer, maybe even some tips on how to style babies. My personal favorite is adding an empty photo album to encourage parents to capture the best looking moments of their baby and keep the memories forever.

For the Parents

There are so many gifts and products for babies that most of the essentials will already be covered by parents themselves. In such times, parents often lose sight of themselves. That is where you step in with the perfect gifts.

Food Delivery Maps and Vouchers

New parents will be overwhelmed and tired. As their dear friend, you may want to construct a helpful list of their favorite food places that offer delivery. If possible, buy some long-lasting vouchers or coupons for those places. For the first week, you may even offer food delivery services for all three meals! Set up a meal prep and delivery plan.

Good Soft Music

Ahhh! Soft melody not only soothes a baby but also parents. Buy them a collection of the best music and maybe even a small portable device to play it on. Believe me, it will one of the best gifts that they will thank you for, for years to come.

New Camera

If they do not already own one, get the parents a good camera. Let them record the precious moments of their infant. Of course, you will be bombarded with dozens of these cute pictures every day, but that's okay.

The life that kids lead today is way different than the life that kids led few years back. We cannot deny the fact that this is the age of science and technology and kids have different kinds of gadgets and devices in their access. With phones, tablets, and computers within easy access, the kids prefer staying glued to them and refrain from indulging in any kind of physical activity, which includes outdoor sports activities. Until and unless kids participate in physical activities and sports, their overall development will be hampered. If your residential area lacks open spaces and playgrounds, where kids can go and play games, try and get them admitted to some martial art classes. This art form has many benefits and can contribute greatly towards the physical and mental development of your kid successfully:

Reasons how martial arts workout will be beneficial for your kid:

Finding focus and concentration

Lack of focus and concentration is a common problem from which most kids suffer nowadays. They are not able to gather their mind at one place and do some task sincerely for a long time as concentration is hampered. Practicing martial arts will help in increasing focus and concentration in the kids greatly as the movements in this art form need immense attention. The moment you lose your attention, the opponent gets better of you and you can be hit. This quality is of great help in general life as well as in academics.

Increases activity and fitness levels

If you want that your kid leaves the couch and gets into some real activity, getting him/her into martial arts school is an excellent idea. You might be happy to know that before starting with the martial art exercises, other kinds of warm up exercises are done so that the body becomes ready for the rigorous martial art fitness training. Practicing martial arts regularly help in increasing activity and fitness levels in the body greatly. All the systems in the body, particularly the circulatory system, gets a great boost with these exercises and functions properly. All the muscles in the body are involved in these exercises and help in maintaining highly fitness levels.

Martial arts teach resilience!

Life is not a bed of roses. There are ups and downs in life and this is hard core reality. Kids who learn martial arts develop the skills of taking life's blows and disappointments successfully. They can cope up with the losses in life easily and move forward with greater grit and determination. The art of resilience is learnt as a part of martial art training. You are bound to be hit in life or otherwise, but you should not give up. Get up and hit back harder and for this you need mental and physical strength, which martial art forms teach in a great way.

Improved breathing techniques

Breathing is probably the most important voluntary activity that we do. While learning martial arts, the kids are taught great breathing techniques, which make life better in all ways. You might be surprised to know that there are different breathing techniques which affect our health and mind. Infact with proper breathing exercises, we can relax in high-tension situations. Breathe better and give your mind and body the much-needed boost.

Instills attributes of self-confidence and self-respect

Self-respect and self-confidence are two very important attributes that every human being should have. And when these qualities are inculcated in a child, they remain with him/her all throughout life. Martial arts help in seeking self-knowledge. And this is directly related to self-respect and self-confidence. With such qualities imbibed in the kid, he/she will be ready to face all kinds of odd situations in life without problems.

Participation in martial arts will do great benefits to your kid without doubt. Find the best martial art school near you and get him/her admitted just to see him/her grow into a confident, smart and fit boy/girl.

My husband and I try to have lunch together at least once a week. He and I are fortunate enough to work only a few blocks apart, and that Tuesday lunch is a treat. It is wonderful to see him in the middle of a busy working day.

But we can't always make that lunch date. There have been many times when one of us has to cancel and it is really hard to reschedule it (Sorry, Honey!).

 The important point is that we try to carve out additional couple time, which researchers say is increasingly difficult to do. Researchers tracked couples' time spent together (exclusively) and with their children across the U.S., Spain and France and the results are mixed. Parents in France and Spain are spending more time with their partners, and parents in Spain and the U.S. are spending more family time together.

 While the study didn't make direct correlations, it did indicate that factors like working outside of the home and the cultural norms of the country influenced the time differences. Families in France and Spain, for example, spend about 80 minutes on a meal together. (I don't think I spend that much time on a meal if you include all the time it takes to cook, eat and clean up afterward.)

 While this is all great to know, it doesn't provide me with any tips of how to spend more time with my wonderful husband. So, I guess he and I will have to put our heads together over a Tuesday lunch sometime soon and work that out together.

 How do you carve out time for your spouse? Tell me in the comments.
 Choosing the best breast implant placement option. tag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2017-02-17:988554:BlogPost:1758590 2017-02-17T06:12:09.000Z Karen Cole http://www.mombloggersclub.com/profile/KarenCole

Breast implantsare fabricated by different organizations in many varieties of content (or filler), base width (distance across), volume, shape and surface texture to suit your individual needs. Picking the correct implant and producer is along these lines key to a fruitful breast enhancement surgery. As part of the pre-operative consultation process our surgeon will utilize his broad experience and cosmetic masterfulness to help you choose the ideal implant. The following elements will help in the decision making process:

Capsular Contracture

In light of clinical trials, it is felt that setting the implant either partially or totally underneath the chest muscle can significantly decrease the rate of capsular contracture or shrinking and tightening of the scar tissue. This is thought to be an improvement placement of the implant on top of the muscle. Be that as it may, given current findings, it is not guaranteed that any certain placement will prevent capsular contracture. Another recommendation has been the utilization of textured implants. While these implants may reduce Capsular Contracture, they have been found to prompt to rippling on skin of the breast. Few doctors would argue that the main cause of skin rippling is because of failure to properly fill the implant with saline. To peruse more on implants, both textured and smooth, please see All about Breast Implants.

Ripple Effect

To avoid the unnatural ripple effect of your breasts post surgery, your doctor may recommend the breast implants to be placed either over the chest muscle or behind the muscle (less chance of rippling effect). This is particularly valid if you have minimal breast tissue going into surgery. Utilizing the chest muscle gives some padding to use with the existing breast tissue to cover the real implant and give all more natural appearance and reduce the possibility of a ripple effect on the skin's surface.

Mammograms and Implants

Regardless of having a breast augmentation, you will at still need to have general mammograms as part of your routine yearly examinations. However improved technology advances with time, many doctors still recommend that breast implants be placed either partially or fully beneath the chest muscle leaving the breast tissue clear to fully read mammography results.

Sagging after Implants

Many doctors concur that implants will sag as you age. This is due to the skin elasticity and general ageing process. By putting the implant partially into or fully behind the chest muscle, the breast implant may have more support which would result in less sagging of the breast and implant as time passes by. However, this is not guaranteed and sagging may still occur regardless of the implant placement.

Appearance

The following is only a guideline assist you with discuss topics at your consultation with yout surgeon:

*Placement over the chest muscle is possible if you currently have enough tissue to totally cover the implant. A natural look is still possible. For more data, make certain to visit Choosing Breast Implant Size.

*If you need adequate breast tissue or yearning to be bigger than your natural breast size, it is best to have the implants placed either partially in or fully behind the chest muscle to have a more natural look.

*Women who are keen on bodying build may experience implant distortion or animation particularly with implants that have been placed behind the chest muscle.

* If you are currently encountering sagging or hanging of your natural breasts, it would be most beneficial to have a breast lift or mastopexy at the same time as your breast augmentation surgery. See which Breast Procedure is right for me? If you forgo the breast lift, the implant will align with the chest divider rather than the breast tissue and you will have what is called a 'Snoopy Boob' with the majority of your breast tissue sitting below the implant.

* If you are currently encountering breast ptosis (sagging), and you do not want to have mastopexy, it is recommended that you place your implants on top of the chest muscle or opt of teardrop shaped implants. However, depending on the severity of sagging, a breast lift may not be optional.
 Chicken and Dumplings Recipe from a Real Southerner tag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2017-02-17:988554:BlogPost:1758819 2017-02-17T05:57:55.000Z TY Watson http://www.mombloggersclub.com/profile/TYWatson

What do you do when you have a fresh batch of chicken stock, some leftover chicken, and three hungry kids? Make chicken and dumplings!

Now, despite my abiding love for it, chicken and dumplings is not a part of my culinary tradition. As with other Southern dishes like shrimp and grits, Brunswick stew, and pulled pork, it's a dish I've made with varying degrees of success over the years. This year, though, I finally decided to just get it right once and for all.

This a tried and true recipe from my friend (Mama of 3 Munckins fame) who lives in the South. I'm passing it along with her permission so that you, too, can achieve chicken and dumplings success!

She starts the recipe assuming you've already cooked your chicken in water or broth. (I just put a whole cut-up chicken into a pot with enough colder water to cover by an inch or two. I add in some peppercorns, onion, garlic, and a couple bay leaves that I tie-up into a cheese cloth and huck into the pot. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a bare simmer, skimming any foam or impurities as needed. Chicken will be cooked through/falling off the bone in about an hour.)

Note: As a short cut I use a chicken carcass from a roast chicken and make the soup/broth ahead of time (I always have a batch in my freezer) and then buy a rotisserie chicken to shred into my chicken and dumplings.

Make your dumplings. These are light and fluffy—sort of a cross between a gnocchi and a noodle.

Dumplings:

2c. all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

3 TB shortening (I use Earth Balance sticks)

3/4 buttermilk (a MUST)

Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the shortening. Add the buttermilk, stirring with fork until moistened. Knead the dough 4 to 5 times, and pat to 1/2-inch pieces and drop into boiling broth (I don't pat out, just pinch off pieces -- do same thing with biscuits most of the time). Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Take chicken out of broth and bring broth to a boil. Add pepper. Add thyme—I use about 1 tbsp fresh or 1/2 tbsp dried. (Lisa says thyme is a must.) I also add carrots and celery and sometimes peas, but Lisa says southerners don't add veggies. Stir in chicken (I take off bone and leave in big chunks), heat through, and serve.

If you want to thicken more, use a little bit of flour that you've stirred in milk.(I find that the dumplings thicken enough.)

Enjoy!

It is an unfortunate circumstance that parents who were abused as children often end up repeating that abusive behavior with their own kids. Most parents don't abuse their children intentionally, but they may lose control and lash out. Afterwards, they are not sure how to correctly resolve or repair the situation, so it remains a lasting trauma for the child that carries into adulthood. Parents are also very likely to emulate the disciplinary style of their parents and think that it was good even when it was actually destructive and abusive. Breaking this behavior cycle is critical to the healthy development of current children and all future children.

Understand the Real Causes of Abuse

 There are many reasons a parent may abuse his or her child. Most often, this abuse is the result of the parent's own unresolved trauma. According to Psychology Today, parents must deal with their own traumas, pain and past experiences if they are to avoid repeating that trauma pattern with their own children.

 This means realizing that one's own parents were real people, they weren't perfect and they didn't always treat you the right way. Instead of just creating blame, this process allows an adult to face the facts of their upbringing and identify patterns they liked and didn't like. Only with this honest understanding and analysis can they view their own behavior objectively.

Learning Self Control

 When a parent abuses their child, it is usually because the parent has become emotional or triggered. Young children don't present a real physical threat, so violence toward them is both unnecessary and damaging. Parents may think that physical discipline is effective at control. The reality is that it instills only fear and mistrust between parent and child. There are far better ways to control children than through fear of pain.

 Control also begins with the parent. There will certainly be times when a child triggers a parent, whether it be through annoyance or defiance. The best thing a parent can do is learn to recognize when they are triggered, what behaviors cause that trigger and have a plan for how they will release that emotion. This could mean going to separate room and hitting a pillow or stepping outside to be alone. Whatever the plan, it is important that it redirects the negative emotion away from the child. Then, when the parent is calm they can come back and provide effective, positive discipline to correct the child's behavior.

Mentoring Children and Repairing Relationships

 Children that have gone through abuse can strongly benefit from a mentoring relationship with a caring adult. Abuse has damaged that child's ability to form healthy attachments and create positive relationships. If that damage is not repaired, it will carry over into adulthood and taint all future relationships.

 Children mentoring programs give children an opportunity to experience a healthy relationship with an adult. This relationship serves them in many ways, including as a model for other relationships and as an emotional support when their trauma surfaces again. Big Brothers Big Sister is one example of such a program. Having a big brother big sister is one way to create positive relationships for children who may not have healthy options within their own families.

 Mentors don't have to be trained counselors. All they need to do is provide a correct relationship for the child so the child feels comfortable, loved and respected. A close mentoring relationship may allow the child to discuss or work through their traumas, and a mentor may be able to direct an older child toward professional services that could help them.

 When parents face their own pain and realize the true cause of their behaviors toward their kids, they can correct these behaviors. This makes them better parents and builds a better relationship between them and their children. Intervention from supportive adults can also help to teach abused children how real and healthy relationships work and break the cycles of abuse that are perpetuated generation after generation.

Historically, this is a holiday that roots back to ancient Rome as a festival of Lupercalia, a fertility celebration commemorated annually on February 15.

Hey Moms,

So, today is the day when much of the U S of A is "showing love" because it is Valentine's Day. Historically, this is a holiday that roots back to ancient Rome as a festival of Lupercalia, a fertility celebration commemorated annually on February 15. Pope Gelasius I recast this pagan festival as a Christian feast day circa 496, declaring February 14 to be St. Valentine's Day. (Wikipedia). Interesting isn't it? Well, what today is now...in real life...is me staying up way too late last night, finishing all my daughter's Valentine's Day cards for her class party today.

So what do we want to teach our kids on today?

I don't know about you, but after becoming a mom, I reassessed my participation in holidays and how exactly they play out in real life for my kids. I guess, once I became the "teacher" to my children about traditions and family practices, I had to personally reflect on whether I'm "all in" on things or not. I can't really guide them in a direction I'm not totally feeling myself, right?

I'm currently leading a re-education of sugar in my family - wait for the post on that soon. Needless to say, I have had to downsize the amount of daily sugar intake and stop purchasing things that aren't good for us as a family. Bye-bye pop-tarts and candy.

What I do love is that the schools have downsized the amount of sugar they allow in the classrooms for birthdays and festivities. That certain helps my life a bit. I don't anticipate my children coming home today with lots of candy, if any at all.

Even in church this month, my kids are learning about love - but in the spiritual sense. They are learning what love looks like and how to live lovingly. There isn't any association with Valentine's Day, but the topic of love is being discussed.

Love is truly in the air, I guess.

So, all this got me thinking, about this holiday thing...and some alternative ways to show love with my kids today, without sugar or spending money. Here are a few that I discovered that I'd love to share:

#1 - List of Why I Love You (idea from Parentcue.org)

For every day of the month, write down something you love about your kid on separate pieces of paper. For example, 28 things for the month of February. You can write things like their laugh, to the way they help around the house to singing - get creative. Then, every night, affix your "love note" to the outside of your kid's bedroom door or wall. This month, when they wake up each morning, make sure they see the new addition. Talk about how important it is to celebrate what we love about ourselves and about others.

#2 - Write notes of encouragement and leave them on car windows (idea from Parentcue.org)

Talk to your kids about the importance of speaking kind words and spending their lives being generous to others. When out and about, write random notes of encouragement and leave them on the windows of parked cars that you see.

#3 - End Your days with a recap of Proud Moments (something I came up with!)

I noticed parenting is a lot like managing people at work. And just like feedback is a gift at work, it's so important for our kids to receive words of affirmation from us too. Not too long ago, I would find myself going through days without stopping and telling my kids what they were doing right. But you better believe they heard what they needed to work on. Probably very similar to what a manager might feel, more constructive feedback than anything else. So, I made it a point to end our days, not with just prayers, but our Proud Moments. I usually list 3 proud moments I've observed, followed by one thing they are working on and a thumbs up for good work. We end the exercise with a high-five and special handshake. And LET ME TELL YOU - they LOVE it!!! They will NOT let me skip out on this end-of-day routine.

Okay, now your turn! What great ways do you show and teach love to your kids without sugar or spending money? I'd love to hear from you.

In this delightful children's book we join Fearne Fairy as she is wakened by the dawn chorus in Whimsy Wood on a marvellous May morning.

Fearne is a lovely kind fairy, but she has a terrible voice, so when she asks to join in the chorus the woodland birds don't want to hurt her feelings, after all why make someone unhappy if it isn't necessary? Instead, they divert her thoughts by asking how her best friend Mustard the Magpie Moth Caterpillar is.

Racing down stairs she finds Mustard happily sleeping soundly in his little leaf basket by the stove. Fearne loves her friend so much that she decides to make him a special breakfast, and sets off for the Woodland Store. However, although like other fairies Fearne can fly, her landings are not so good, and on her return she crashes. Startled awake, Mustard suggests that she needs to get some help perfecting her landings, and she agrees.

Thus begins a magical adventure, as we join Fearne and Mustard in their search for Bristle Bumblebee and Dewberry Dragonfly, flying experts who Mustard thinks will be able to help her.

After breakfast, with picnic packed, they set off on their quest to find Bristle and Dewberry.

The woods are wonderful, and most of the creatures are having fun, and enjoying the lovely May weather, but then they come across Bromley the Badger, and his friend, who is a very sad Hedgehog called Humbug.

However, when Fearne discovers the cause of Humbugs unhappiness she realises that it is within her powers to make him happy again, and so she waves her magic wand, and says a special spell, making things right.

Pleased to see his friend happy again, Bromley tells them that Bristle and Dewberry have opened a Flying School down by the purple orchid patch, to help the May bugs and stag beetles who are having problems learning to fly. So off Fearne and Mustard go in search of Bristle and Dewberry's Flying School.

But will they find it?

And, if they do, will Bristle and Dewberry be able to help Fearne improve her landing, after all, she isn't a May bug or stag beetle?

Well you will have to read the story to find out the answers to these questions, but the only thing I can say is that practice really does make perfect…

The wonderful way this magical children's story is told, and the way its beautiful illustrations compliment the story makes this not just a book, but a prized possession, the type of book which will be handed down from child to child, through generation.

I would liken it to the famous The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame, and think it definitely deserves a place on every child's bookshelf.

About the Author:

Warning! This may be a little long, but it did take FOREVER for this little girl to grace us with her presence. And she was worth every bit of agony I went through.

My due date was November 12th, 2003. From the very beginning of my pregnancy, knowing my due date, I had hoped my first baby would share her birthday with my Dad's birthday, November 14th. So, I never got that "itchy" feeling as I neared the end. I was so hopeful that as the 14th came, I began to feel contractions. Since this was going to be the first grandbaby in my family and everyone was very excited, I called them.

They all showed up, (my sisters, my brother, my parents) and proceeded to watch me closely for two days straight. With bated breath, ready to rush to the hospital at any moment. I tried everything I could think of over that weekend to get labor going. I have never felt more like a zoo animal in my entire life. But things did not go as I had hoped, and everyone headed home to Milwaukee. It was at that point I should have realized this kid had her own plan.

The Plan

I should preface this by saying that my goal was to have no unnecessary medical interventions during my pregnancy or labor. My husband and I had spent 12 weeks in Bradley classes diligently preparing to have a natural childbirth. We were equipped with our two-page birth plan detailing everything the nurses, midwives, and doctors needed to know once we arrived at the hospital. I am certain they appreciated my instructions. And with most people telling me I was crazy and would never be able to do it, I was more determined than ever.

Needless to say, I did not want to be induced, and over the course of the next week I once again tried every trick in the book to get labor going. Unfortunately, nothing worked. As the following weekend approached, now 9 days overdue, I was scheduled to be monitored just to make sure the baby was still doing okay. I was having some contractions that Friday morning, and I decided that at my appointment, I would ask the midwife to strip my membranes in the hopes that it would help things along.

Early Labor

Since I was contracting, I was told to meet the midwife at the hospital so I could have my appointment in triage (just in case.) I was put on the monitor and checked. Baby looked good, I was almost completely effaced, but I was barely beginning to dilate. It was confirmed that I was most likely in the very early stages of labor. The midwife agreed to strip my membranes and then sent me home.

On the walk to the parking ramp, my contractions began to increase in intensity, though they were still too irregular and too far apart. Besides, I was resolved to labor at home as long as possible to avoid any embarrassing send homes from triage. The next time I was sent home from the hospital it would be with a baby in my arms.

On the way home, I stopped off at Walgreens to purchase a bottle of castor oil. This would be my "last case scenario" effort to induce labor if things did not proceed quick enough. I did not want to drink it, but I would if necessary.

My contractions continued throughout the day, but they still weren't painful enough to warrant action. I was trying to stay on my feet as much as possible, going for walks, vacuuming, cleaning the house, in order to keep labor progressing. As the evening approached, my contractions became more uncomfortable. I was having to stop and breath through them. So, around 10PM we made a trip back to triage.

With bags in hand, I was sure I would be staying this time. I was checked, and was only dilated 2-3cm. I was told to walk the halls for an hour or so, and come back for a recheck. I walked and walked and walked, but when I was rechecked, I had not changed enough to be admitted. Much to my dismay, I was once again sent home.

I did not sleep a wink from Friday into Saturday. My contractions were much stronger at this point. I was doing a lot of leaning on walls and swaying. I even tried a bath to relieve the pain. After 8-10 hours of pretty regular, painful contracting, I finally decided to head back to triage Saturday morning. Just my husband and I this time, since we didn't want to bother anymore people with needless trips.

Finally Admitted

At last I was worthy of admission! Though I was a little disappointed to hear that after all those hours of contractions, I was still only 4cm dilated. Once I was settled in my room, we made the calls to family. This time they could come; we had been admitted. There would finally be a baby at some point.

After a couple hours of laboring in the hospital, I was checked again. Not much progress. At this point, we discussed breaking my water to move things along. My husband and I decided this would be a minimally invasive intervention which could hopefully send me sailing towards birth. So, we did it.

Once my water was broken, it was apparent that meconium was present. I was now 10 days overdue after all. This led to more interventions I had originally not wanted. Namely, continuous monitoring. I was strapped to a machine and basically confined to my room.

At this point, my memory gets a little jumbled. I had a lot of visitors throughout the day, since the entire family had returned to see this baby born. I was in a lot of pain, so the movies I brought to distract myself basically served no purpose. And every time I was checked, I became more frustrated because I was just barely progressing. The baby was occipital posterior, which means she was face-up, the opposite of optimal for delivery. It also means her skull was basically grinding against my lower back with every contraction.

Because of her position, she was not moving down fast enough. She was not putting enough pressure on my cervix to dilate it. And I was having horrible back labor. Just to relieve the pain slightly, my husband was having to put all his weight into pushing on my low back during contractions.

Not In The Right Position

At some point in the evening, nearing 24 hours in labor, we agreed to a low level of Pitocin. We were hoping to make each contraction more productive, in doctor speak. It was also at this point, we decided to try an internal version. This is basically where the midwife puts her entire hand into my vaginal canal, and attempts to grab the baby's head in an effort to flip her into the correct position. Mind you, I had not had any pain meds at this point.

I was told to get on all fours on the top of the bed. My husband and one of the midwives held opposite ends of a bed sheet that was positioned cradling the base of my belly. They were told to pull up (basically to disengage the baby from my pelvis) while the other midwife reached in to turn her. No kidding, I still cringe when I think of this. To this day, this is the most painful thing I have ever experienced in my life. The entire birthing floor heard my scream. My family thought I was giving birth the scream was so loud.

And despite my extreme efforts, the baby would not turn.

I was now reaching my limit. I was going on roughly 30 hours with no sleep. I was only 7cm dilated, I had just experienced the worst pain of my life, and I had no idea when the end would come. I needed to rest. The midwives feared that at the rate I was going, I would not have the energy to push once I reached that point. In addition, the baby's heart rate was beginning to concern the them.

Sweet Relief

Things were definitely not going according to plan. My husband and I discussed our options with the midwives. We decided it would be best to get an epidural. That way I could rest. They could increase the Pitocin, and hopefully by morning, I would be ready to deliver the baby.

The most difficult part of getting the epidural was having to stay completely still through my contractions. But it was worth it! Sweet, sweet relief! I could finally relax for a few hours. But without the pain to distract me, my emotions slammed into gear. The slight disappointment of things not going as planned combined with lack of sleep and anxiety about what was next finally hit me. I will never forget the wonderful nurse that sat with me, listened to me cry, and gave me her words of encouragement. She definitely helped me get through the night.

When morning came, roughly 5 or 6AM, I was rechecked. And our prayers were answered; I was finally 10cm! It was time to push. The midwives decided it would be a good idea to turn the epidural down a bit so I could better feel the contractions. BIG MISTAKE! When the pain was incrementally increased over a long period of time, I was able to handle it. But take that extreme pain away for several hours, and then bring it back? No fucking way!!

Time To Push

After an argument with the anesthesiologist, the epidural was increased. And after some instructions from the midwife and nurses, I was pushing effectively. Though, that also meant I emptied my bowels (much to my husband's dismay.) I pushed and pushed and pushed, for roughly four hours.

Although her head could be seen with each push, she was not coming out. The doctors thought she could use a little assistance. Plus, I had already been laboring for more than 40 hours and pushing for 4 hours, and they were not sure how much more I or the baby could handle. They wanted to get her out as soon as possible.

We decided to try a vacuum assisted delivery. Once everything was set up, they attached they suction cup to her head, and with the next push, they pulled. The vacuum popped off. So, they tried again. And it popped off again.

At this point, I knew where we were heading. I had tried everything. I was tired. I was ready to meet my baby, and I was prepared to do what it took to get her out. I signed the consent for a Caesarean section. I talked to my family, who had been waiting for nearly two days in the waiting room, and they reassured me. And with that, I was rolled towards the operating room.

A C-Section It Is

Once in the OR, things moved pretty quick. They got me prepped, and then it was time to test whether the epidural was sufficient for surgery. It was not. I could just barely feel the sharp prick on my abdomen. I needed to be put under. I would not be awake to see my baby born, and my husband had to leave the room as well. It seemed throughout this experience I could not catch a single break.

Of course, I do not remember anything past this point, though I am grateful for the video my midwife was able to get of the event. Yet, I do recall the first moments as I was coming out of anesthesia. I distinctly heard someone say, "It's a girl!" I was beyond ecstatic. And when I was in recovery, and at long last got to hold my baby, it was all worth it.

The St. Francis School District's tax levy for the 2008-09 school year depends on whether a $14.9 million referendum passes this fall.
A $5.07 million tax levy, applicable if the Nov. 4 referendum fails, was approved Sept. 8. The tax rate would be $7.59 per $1,000 of equalized property value.
Business Manager Julie Kelly said the board will certify two levies in October to meet state deadlines. The second levy will be calculated after the board approves a referendum resolution later this month.
For 2008-09, officials expect less state aid due to a slight rise in property values and declining resident enrollment.
Kelly said the district has worked to pay off additional principal on outstanding debt, and is taking on additional debt to address some building issues through the referendum.
"If we move forward with the referendum, we're able to fill that drop while keeping the tax rate as consistent as it has been while adding about $14 million worth of debt to our structure," she said.
But if the referendum fizzles, the district's tax rate will decrease. That old debt is still removed but no new debt would be taken on.
"The important thing with the referendum is that if it does not get passed this year, it will be very harsh for all of us to watch taxes go down and then go all the way back up to where we are now," Kelly said. "That's why we are in a position that we are to be able to (go) out for almost $15 million."
Board President Jacqueline Hemmer said a $14.9 million referendum, which would allow for basic improvements, would have minimal impact on taxpayers.
The district's operating budget is projected at $13.5 million.
The rise in the tax levy does not indicate a proportional rise in spending, Kelly said.
The expected loss of state aid means the levy has to go up, but state-imposed revenue limits and other mandates force the district to trim expenses. Cuts were made to some areas of the budget so staff benefits and salaries could be kept at appropriate levels, she said.
Besides the outcome of the referendum, other factors also could affect the district's budget. School officials are waiting for the state to release the final revenue limit and the district's actual aid amount. After the Nov. 4 election, the board will present the district's tax levy to the city, Kelly said.
Chantel Balzell can be reached at (262) 446-6602.
Proposed budget
• 41.9 percent from the state
• 34.1 percent from taxpayers
• 17.2 percent from Open Enrollment, tuition
• 4.2 percent from federal sources
• 2 percent from student fees, other local sources
• 0.6percent from miscellaneous revenue sources
• 76.4 percent for salaries and benefits
• 15.7 percent for personnel services
• 5.5 percent for supplies and equipment
• 1.8 percent for debt retirement/other
• 0.6 percent for district insurance

What was your top marketing moment of 2013? For me, Burger King's "Fries King" promo, Gmail tabs, and VMA tweets come to mind. This was a year when Twitter and Instagram made just as many headlines as Facebook, and brands found new ways to make a splash through viral images and videos shared across social networks.
We chose some social media and marketing moments for a year-end infographic to rehash some of the high points that marketers will remember. Some of them infamous and some of them still ambiguous (like Jeff Bezos' acquisition of The Washington Post), these milestones take us back through an interesting year in marketing.

The arrival of Antonio Conte at Juventus will not cause Milos Krasic any problems, his agent has insisted.
"He is perfect for the tactics of Conte," Vlado Borozan told TMW. "I never thought that Krasic could leave this summer."
Siena boss Conte is expected to replace Gigi Del Neri on the Juve bench at the end of the season.
Conte, a 4-4-2 and 4-2-4 man, should be able to make use of Krasic on the right-hand side of midfield.
The Serbian winger arrived in Turin last summer from CSKA Moscow in a €15m deal.
Krasic enjoyed a promising start to the season, but he has struggled in the second half of the campaign.
The midfielder has played in 32 League games this term, for a total of 2539 minutes, scoring six goals.
Keep up to date with the latest news and action from Spain's Primera Division with Football Espana - from the team behind Football Italia. [11]
