<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><b>Bonnie Hart has 40+ years experience caring for and riding horses. She offers this camp each year. Last year my son was fortunate enough to attend one of her camps. He had a blast and learned a lot about horses. I was truly impressed with the knowledge he gained and how much fun he had caring for and riding the horses. He is very excited to attend again this year. I highly recommend this camp to anyone that is an animal lover, but especially a horse lover! It will be an experience they will never forget.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">First off, I want to make sure that everyone knows that Valentine's Day is spelt with an N. There is no M, and it is NOT Valentimes Day! Ok just had to get that out. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Anyway....I was just reading up on the history of Valentine's Day. I honestly wasn't sure what the real story behind the holiday was, and now I know why. Did you know that even historians don't know for sure?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">There a couple of theories behind how it all began. Someone performing marriages when it was illegal? Someone writing love letters to a lover while imprisoned? And as with many modern day holidays, it actually began as one holiday that was transformed into a more appropriate, less pagan one. Seriously, who wants to be slapped with goat skin dipped in blood before dating a stranger for a year? Fascinating things to learn about with this holiday! </span><br />

Ready-made cards were an easy way for people to express their emotions in a time when direct expression of one's feelings was discouraged. Cheaper postage rates also contributed to an increase in the popularity of sending Valentine's Day greetings.<br /><br />Americans probably began exchanging hand-made valentines in the early 1700s. In the 1840s, Esther A. Howland began selling the first mass-produced valentines in America. Howland, known as the “Mother of the Valentine,” made elaborate creations with real lace, ribbons and colorful pictures known as "scrap."

What is Cancer?</h2>
Cancer is unregulated growth of a particular cell type . It usually starts out in one location, usually in a particular organ. If it spreads to other organs or to the bones it is called metastatic cancer.<br /><h2 style="color: #660033; font: normal normal bold 36px/normal Sunshiney; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; position: relative;">

What Causes Cancer?</h2>
Cancer is usually caused by damage to DNA. DNA is the body’s template of instructions to let the cell know which proteins to make. The genes are contained within the DNA. If critical DNA is damaged certain cells can multiply without the normal restraints that would keep them limited. These cancer cells are different from other cells. They do not recognize or communicate normally biochemically with other cells. They can multiply beyond control.<br /><h2 style="color: #660033; font: normal normal bold 36px/normal Sunshiney; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; position: relative;">
What is the Role of Genetics in Cancer Development?</h2>
There are certain genes that seem to run in families that seem to increase a persons risk for developing certain cancers. It has been estimated that approximately 5-10% of all cancers are the result of a mutation(alteration) in a particular gene. These genes have certain names but can generally be called “susceptibility genes”. It is very important to recognize that having a susceptibility gene does not mean that a person will definitely develop cancer. It means that that person is at higher risk of developing a certain cancer than someone the same age without the gene.<br /><strong><a class="kLink" href="http://changingtheworldpebblebypebble.blogspot.com/2012/11/proactive-cancer-prevention_1.html#" id="KonaLink1" style="background-attachment: initial !important;

Approximately, 5% to 10% of BCs are hereditary and 15% to 20% occur in family clusters. In the latter case, environmental and cultural factors may coexist with genetic factors, inducing higher rates of BC in women of the same family. BC may occur in men, although with a very low incidence rate.

If breast cancer seems to be running in a family women in that family can be tested for that gene. There is always an interaction of the genes with the conditions in the body and the things that a person is exposed to.<br />It has been recently been discovered that the risk of breast cancer for women who harbor mutations in the BRCA1 gene is significantly reduced among those who have breast-fed for a cumulative total of more than 12 months. The protective effects of breast-feeding seem to be much greater for BRCA1 mutation carriers than for women in general population. The breast feeding reduction in cancer frisk was recently reported in Reuters Health in an interview with Dr. Steven A. Narod from the Centre for Research in Women’s Health in Toronto told Reuters Health.<br /><strong>Genes are Not the Whole Story</strong><br />Genes can start acting up in relation to triggering substances or conditions that may cause them to become active. They can be dormant for a long time or never become active if they are not exposed to certain conditions.<br /><h2 style="color: #660033; font: normal normal bold 36px/normal Sunshiney; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; position: relative;">
Cancer and Aging</h2>
Cancer risk increases as people age. There are many reasons for this. The cumulative exposure to chemicals and metals increases with age. A person's immune system which has a role in surveillance of the DNA for defects becomes less effective with age.<br />If a person develops cancer when they are over the age of 40 they can age very quickly. Part of managing and slowing the aging process is taking steps to decrease your risk of developing cancer. These will be discussed in the latter half of this article.<br /><h2 style="color: #660033; font: normal normal bold 36px/normal Sunshiney; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; position: relative;">
Environmental and Chemical Exposures</h2>
There are many things that might cause cancer and they are usually related to exposure to toxins in the form of certain chemicals, heavy metals, pollutants in the air and water and radiation. Exposure to certain bacteria and viruses can also predispose to cancer. The biochemical milieu of the cells is also very important and may be quite related to hormones and other internal cellular exposures that a persons body is producing. Cancers linked to environmental causes make up at least 80 percent of all cancer cases, according to a second new report by the <a class="kLink" href="http://changingtheworldpebblebypebble.blogspot.com/2012/11/proactive-cancer-prevention_1.html#" id="KonaLink4" style="background-attachment: initial !important; background-clip: initial !important; background-color: transparent !important; background-image: none !important; background-origin: initial !important; background-position: initial initial !important; background-repeat: initial initial !important; border-bottom-color: transparent !important; border-bottom-style: none !important; border-bottom-width: 0px !important; border-left-color: transparent !important; border-left-style: none !important; border-left-width: 0px !important; border-right-color: transparent !important; border-right-style: none !important; border-right-width: 0px !important; border-top-color: transparent !important; border-top-style: none !important; border-top-width: 0px !important; bottom: 0px; color: blue !important; cursor: pointer; display: inline !important; font-family: inherit !important; font-size: inherit !important; font-variant: normal; font-weight: inherit !important; left: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important; position: static; right: 0px; text-decoration: underline !important; text-transform: none !important; top: 0px;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit !important; font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: inherit !important; position: static;"><span class="kLink" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: initial !important; border-left-style: none !important; border-left-width: 0px !important; border-right-color: initial !important; border-right-style: none !important; border-right-width: 0px !important; border-top-color: initial !important; border-top-style: none !important; border-top-width: 0px !important; color: blue !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-family: inherit !important; font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: inherit !important; padding-bottom: 1px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important; position: static; width: auto !important;">National </span><span class="kLink" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: initial !important; border-left-style: none !important; border-left-width: 0px !important; border-right-color: initial !important; border-right-style: none !important; border-right-width: 0px !important; border-top-color: initial !important; border-top-style: none !important; border-top-width: 0px !important; color: blue !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-family: inherit !important; font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: inherit !important; padding-bottom: 1px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important; position: static; width: auto !important;">Cancer </span><span class="kLink" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: initial !important; border-left-style: none !important; border-left-width: 0px !important; border-right-color: initial !important; border-right-style: none !important; border-right-width: 0px !important; border-top-color: initial !important; border-top-style: none !important; border-top-width: 0px !important; color: blue !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-family: inherit !important; font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: inherit !important; padding-bottom: 1px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important; position: static; width: auto !important;">Institute</span></span></a>, this one published with the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in the US.

Preventing Cancer</h2>
You can be proactive and take a number of actions to prevent cancer.<br /><strong>Action #1: </strong>Stop smoking if you are a smoker. Smoking greatly increases a persons risk for lung and other cancers as well as increases the risk for heart disease. If you are a smoker seek the help of your physician to get into a program to stop your unhealthy habit.<br /><strong>Action #2: </strong>Exercise aerobically 5-6 days a week according to the Truestar guidelines for exercise. Aerobic <a class="kLink" href="http://changingtheworldpebblebypebble.blogspot.com/2012/11/proactive-cancer-prevention_1.html#" id="KonaLink5" style="background-attachment: initial !important; background-clip: initial !important; background-color: transparent !important; background-image: none !important; background-origin: initial !important; background-position: initial initial !important; background-repeat: initial initial !important; border-bottom-color: transparent !important; border-bottom-style: none !important; border-bottom-width: 0px !important; border-left-color: transparent !important; border-left-style: none !important; border-left-width: 0px !important; border-right-color: transparent !important; border-right-style: none !important; border-right-width: 0px !important; border-top-color: transparent !important; border-top-style: none !important; border-top-width: 0px !important; bottom: 0px; color: blue !important; cursor: pointer; display: inline !important; font-family: inherit !important; font-size: inherit !important; font-variant: normal; font-weight: inherit !important; left: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important; position: static; right: 0px; text-decoration: underline !important; text-transform: none !important; top: 0px;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit !important; font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: inherit !important; position: static;"><span class="kLink" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: initial !important; border-left-style: none !important; border-left-width: 0px !important; border-right-color: initial !important; border-right-style: none !important; border-right-width: 0px !important; border-top-color: initial !important; border-top-style: none !important; border-top-width: 0px !important; color: blue !important; display: inline !important; float: none !important; font-family: inherit !important; font-size: inherit !important; font-weight: inherit !important; padding-bottom: 1px !important; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important; padding-top: 0px !important; position: static; width: auto !important;">exercise</span></span></a> done 5-6 days per week for 30 minutes in your training heart rate zone has been shown to decrease risk for certain cancers but especially cancer of the colon.<br /><strong>Action #3: </strong>Do the cancer screening behaviors suggested by your doctor. This includes pap smears, mammograms and breast self exams for women and testicular self exams for men. Both men and women should do screening for Colon Cancer. This includes stool exams and fiber optic scopes of the colon. Virtual colonoscopies can be done to screen for cancer and genetic tests that can be run on the bowel movements are becoming more cost effective and more available.<br /><strong>Action #4: </strong>Choose organic foods. Organic foods are less likely to have heavy metal and pesticide contamination. They also will likely be tastier and have more mineral content. Do this by the following suggestions:<br /><ol>
<li style="margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Choose organic fruits and vegetables when possible.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Choose free range eggs and chicken when possible.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Choose grass fed, free range beef when choosing beef.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Avoid nonorganic strawberries as they have the highest content of pesticides of any fruit</li>
</ol>
<strong>Action #5: </strong>Eat from a variety of colors of fruits and vegetables every day. The phytochemicals in colorful (green, orange, red, purple, etc.) fruits and vegetables have may beneficial properties.<br /><strong>Action #6: </strong>Try and eat daily from the cruciferous family (broccoli, cauliflower, kale, brussel sprout or cabbage) as these veggies have special biochemical(phytochemicals that help decrease damage to DNA.<br /><strong>Action #7: </strong>Limit your intake of plastics. Try to avoid using thin plastic clear bottles as the plastic may leach out into the water. Do not leave plastic food containers in a hot car. Do not microwave with plastic.<br /><strong>Action #8: </strong>Limit your use of perfumes and makeup. If you like these than go to a health food store to see which brand is considered the healthiest of makeup. Limit products that have sodium lauryl sulfate. Avoid antiperspirant as there is aluminum in it.<br /><strong>Action #9: </strong>Avoid mercury amalgam fillings. Mercury has toxic properties which vary from person to person but in general it should be avoided.<br /><strong>Action #10: </strong>Avoid exposures to pesticides, herbicides, on your own property and others properties including golf courses. Buy environmentally safe materials to clean your home and to wash clothes with.<br /><strong>Action #11: </strong>Do green remodeling or move into a green built home with special features for indoor air quality. Use low VOC paints , sealants etc. to avoid exposure to toxins in the air that can adversely affect your lungs and immune system.<br /><strong>Action #12: </strong>Avoid food additives and colorings whenever possible. Avoid Nitrates and Nitrites in lunch meats.<br />Preventing cancer is very important for your health, quality of life and longevity. You can be involved on a personal level as indicated in this article and you can also get interested in the quality and regulation of the food air and water supply, fertilizers, and environmental waste disposal in your community and country. Making small changes each week can make the actions more manageable.<br /><strong>References</strong>1.

Quick, Easy, Cost Effective tips on what I did to help my immune system after I nearly kicked the bucket. Perfect for the average mom (and everyone else). <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Last winter I became very ill and was hospitalized for over a week. It took 3 full months to recover from a nearly deathly case of pneumonia. I have had pneumonia every year for the past 10 years and each year I become more and more sickly. I have a host of medical conditions including a thyroid disease which limits my immune system's ability to function properly. After last year's battle and scare my Drs. said I needed to start thinking outside of the box to try to get myself healthier. We had tried all the conventional methods, so we began looking for more natural ways to get myself healthier. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I made some changes that, so far. has kept me from getting sick since then!!!! I know that everyone is different, but I wanted to share some of the simple changes that have made a profound effect on my and my family's health. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Multivitamins:</b> Yup, this simple daily routine has had one of the biggest benefits. I had tried taking vitamins before, but they either made me sick, or made me dizzy. I also can't swallow pills, so I was really limited at times. I made it my mission to find anything that would work. After a little trial and error I found that I could take a specific women's gummy vitamin. It didn't have iron, so it didn't make me sick. It was also lower in B vitamins, so I didn't get as dizzy and out of breath as I did on others high in B vitamins. I will note that I did continue to have dizzy spells. I found they happened a couple hours after I took them, so I tried taking them at night. BINGO! No more dizzy spells. Now I know vitamins can be expensive, but they are worth it. Just think about how much you spend on Dr. visits and medicines when you are sick, not to mention pay lost on sick days. You can score great BOGO (Buy one get one free) deals on vitamins. Check the sales adds for stores like CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aide and even Target. </span><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Vitamin D:</b> Next I had my vitamin D levels checked. I was feeling super tired even though I was napping and sleeping 10+ hours at night. Apparently I was extremely deficient. I did some research and learned that not only is vitamin D crucial to your immune system, but over 70% of Americans are vitamin D deficient and don't know it. I tried a few over the counter vitamin D supplements per Dr.'s orders but they weren't affecting my levels. I even tried a prescription that didn't work. One day I was talking with my chiropractor about my issues, and he said he had some that he recommended and sold, and that he'd give me a bottle to try for free. (He really wasn't trying to sell me something, he was genuinely trying to help out.) I started using it and within a couple weeks my numbers started to rise! After a few months I was within healthy normal ranges. Consider getting your vitamin D levels checked out. It's a simple blood draw. It does take 2 weeks to get the results, but then you will know if you need it. I would not recommend loading up on vitamin D without checking your levels first. Vitamin D is one of the few vitamins that can build up in your system and can cause issues if you have too much. Here is the Vitamin D I have been using: <a href="http://www.innatechoice.com/dsufficiency.cfm" target="_blank">http://www.innatechoice.com/dsufficiency.cfm </a> </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Probiotics:</b> Probiotics work by adding good bacteria to your system that helps fight off bad bacteria and helps your digestive system work more efficiently. In effect, it helps your body fight things off easier. I had tried probiotics here and there and they always gave me the worst cramps. On a whim I decided to try a newer probiotic I found at my local Target. It had a different form of good bacteria in it, so I thought why not. I began by taking 1 gummy (normally adults take 2). I didn't cramp, but was still worried. I took them once a week, then added more days until I was taking 1 a night every night. I was so surprised how much better I felt! For the first time in my life not only was I regular (sorry for the TMI lol), but I also have had less episodes of irritable bowel syndrome. In fact I have only had two episodes and both were when I ran out of probiotics to take. I also normally have major issues when I travel and drink the local water (I won't go into details, but let's just say it isn't good), but this year it was dramatically decreased. I barely got sick! Here is the probiotics I have been taking and giving to my kids as well. It does come in pill form too. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Local Honey:</b> Because a lot of my health issues when I get sick are respiratory centered, my Drs. suggested I start using local honey. A lot of the "honey" in stores are not real honey! It's colored and flavored high fructose corn syrup and other sweeteners. Look at the ingredients and make sure it says honey and nothing else. Take an extra step to find local honey. Honey from your home state is better, but the closer to where you are the better. Eating honey that is produced close to where you live helps to ease allergies and even has natural antibacterial qualities. Fun fact: during the American Civil War Drs. would apply honey to wounds to help keep them clean and fight infection. You can find locally produced honey at places like Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Earth Fare and even your local Kroger or super market. Just look and see where is was produced. If it doesn't say, it's probably not local. I like to add my honey to tea, bbq sauce, yogurt, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and even bananas. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Coconut Oil:</b> I was researching ways to help my daughter's dry skin when I discovered a bunch of info regarding coconut oil and it's uses. One of the things that struck me was that it can be used to help thyroid function! I also discovered that it is a natural anti-fungal. There are literally 100s of uses for coconut oil. Our faves are: lotion replacement, lip balm, hair conditioning treatment, eye salve, cooking oil, teeth cleaning and diaper rash healer. (It can even be used to naturally kill lice) Here is a great article listing all the uses and benefits of coconut oil: <a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/11/18/coconut-oil-uses.aspx">http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/11/18/coconut-oil-uses.aspx</a></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Stay Active and Physical: </b>Notice I didn't say exercise. Now don't get me wrong. Exercising is great and has it's benefits, so if you like doing it great. For me personally I can't do it....literally I will pass out due to a heart condition. I know many just don't have the time to do it. It requires a large amount of self discipline that most of us just don't posses. This is why I suggest you stay active. Don't just sit around all day. Get up and take your kids to the park, enjoy an outing to a museum, run around an outdoor area, go mini golfing or bowling, etc. As a mom, I get more exercise taking my kids all over town, than some get at the gym! Find fun places to go and explore. Zoos and botanical gardens are great places to roam around. They are filled with beautiful scenery, children love it, lots of fresh air and plenty of walking to keep you fit. Anywhere you go is good. It doesn't have to be a major physical activity, just getting out of the house and experiencing something new can be good for your soul and spirit. Studies show that when you are happy, your immune system works better, so go out and find some happy places. Here's my favorite happy place to run around, get fresh air and learn a little: </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Eating Better: </b>Now I know what you're thinking, "I don't like health food" or "I can't afford all organic food or "I don't have time to make better food". To that I say you don't have to! I am a very busy mom with 5 kids. I do a LOT of volunteering, so time is critical. Living on 1 income, money is even more critical. For me personally, I know that I can't afford to feed a family of 7 all organic whole foods 100% of the time. What I have found though is that just making a couple of small changes here and there can have a profound impact. Here is what I did. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>1st:</b> <b>Limit the amount of processed and fast foods.</b> I simply tried when I could to prepare a lunch ahead of time if I knew we would be out. I also started making more dinners at home. I was raised by my southern granny, so I know how to cook! My issue is with time, soI started getting good use out of my crock pot. Throw some ingredients in, run errands or do house work and by dinner time it's done. I might not use all organic, free range, antibiotic free foods, but it's still healthier than pre-made meals, frozen foods and fast food. You can check out my Pinterest Crock-Pot board for all sorts of recipies. <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pebblebypebble/crock-pot-meals/" target="_blank">Click HERE.</a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>2nd: Buy organic and non-gmo when you can.</b> I used to walk past the organic section assuming it was too much. One day I decided to take the time to see what the prices were like. After a while, I began seeing that there are often sales on organic items that make them the same prices as non-organics on sale. I also noticed that I can find a lot on clearance. Over the past year I have seen a trend in organic prices going down! More people are making an effort to eat better and as sales go up, prices get more affordable. Next, simply consider the prices. If a bunch of bananas are $.20/lb more for organic, are you really going to fuss over the $.40-$.60 when you can just get a healthier option? If you have a store like Earth Fare, Trader Joes or Whole Foods, sign up to receive email and text deals from them. Many coupon bloggers offer coupon match ups for these stores too. I LOVE my local Earth Fare. They offer a LOT of sales and deals and have great coupons that make great food cheaper than regular food.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>3rd: Frequent farmers markets, farm stands, local farms, etc.</b> Not only will you be able to score some healthy produce and other items, but you will most likely save a little money while helping a small business/farmer. Not sure where any are around you? Ask around. You'd be surprised what you can learn just by asking a question like this on facebook esp if you have local moms or community groups you can ask. I found sooooo many around me by doing this. I can get fresh produce, eggs, local honey and even meats locally. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>4th: Put in a Garden: </b>You don't have to go crazy and try to plant a farm, just a couple plants. (Unless you want to go crazy! lol) We are fortunate to have a good sized backyard, so I planted a bunch this year. Even if you don't yield a lot of produce, you get out in the sun (more vitamin D) and it makes you happy. Don't have a yard, that's no excuse. Patio gardens are a huge trend. You can even buy the plants already growing and ready to go. Just put on your patio or porch and water. You can even find out if there are any community gardens near you. These are great. There is a certain amount of land that multiple people share to garden on. They can work 2 ways. Some you plant certain things and everyone shares the harvest. Others you get a certain plot and can grow whatever you want and it's yours. There are all sorts of options for being able to garden. When planting, make sure you get heirloom seeds or plants. This means they aren't gmo (genetically modified). You can find both at local farmers markets, and even your local hardware stores like Lowes and Home Depot. (If you are in the Central Indiana region, <a href="http://www.connerprairie.org/" target="_blank">Conner Prairie</a> has an amazing heirloom plant sale the weekend before Mother's Day.) Don't plant things you won't eat. If you like tomatoes, plant those. I personally focus on tomatoes, peppers and herbs. I can make spaghetti sauce, pizza and salsa which make me happy, so that's what I plant. You can get all sorts of gardening tips on my Gardening Pinterest board by <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pebblebypebble/in-the-garden-of-earthly-delights/" target="_blank">clicking HERE.</a> </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This year, no matter what the outcome, I will get to say that the winning Super Bowl team has a player from my high school. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Both Kam Chancellor of the Seattle Seahawks and Vinston Painter of the Denver Broncos graduated from Maury High School, my alma mater. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Maury High School has always had a strong football program and has produced many college and pro-players. Even students that aren't huge football fans, like myself, have the greatest respect for the guys on the Commodores team. For me, I think the biggest strength that created so many pro players is that Maury's coaches instilled principles in it's players that taught them they could be anything they really wanted and to work hard for it. They focused on academics as well as physical strengths. This helped create strong, smart, hard working students that were more than able to succeed both on and off the field in school, but life in general. And now we have proof.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Each of the teams in this year's Super Bowl has one of Maury High School's former Commodores playing for them. It will be a great game. I still haven't decided who to pull for. Living in Indiana at the moment makes me want to pull for Peyton Manning and the Broncos, but ultimately I want to see a good game for both my fellow Commodores!</span><br />

Learn more and how to save while using it. <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Have you heard of <a href="http://peapod.tellapal.com/a/clk/4KG8Tt" target="_blank">Peapod online grocery shopping and delivery</a>? It can be a real life saver in the winter months when you don't want to venture out, or if you or a little one is home sick.<br />
<br />
Last year was a rough winter for our family. Not only was my daughter hospitalized, but I spent a week in the hospital and 3 months recovering from severe pneumonia. It was a tough time and my poor husband was trying to work full time, doing the household chores, taking care of the kids and providing meals for everyone. With little time to shop we turned to a lot of take out. This was super expensive and not at all healthy. I started looking for alternatives and found Peapod!!!! I was able to shop a full stock of items much like your local store. They are affiliated with Kroger and have much of the same products including fresh produce and meats. I won't lie, some of the products are way pricier than a normal store. They do offer a weekly sales ad much like any regular grocery store. These prices are comparable to store sales prices and sometimes better!!! I shop the bulk of my items form the sales ad. You can also use coupons! Simply put all your coupons that apply in a ziplock bag and hand them to your driver. The total will be applied to your account and applied to your next order. There is a small fee for delivery. I have been picking the shipping that has a reduced rate, which can be $2.95-$4.95 (depending on how much you spend.)<br />
<br />
What to know:<br />
Learn more/order HERE: <a href="http://peapod.tellapal.com/a/clk/4KG8Tt">http://peapod.tellapal.com/a/clk/4KG8Tt</a><br />
You must make a $60.00 minimum order.<br />
You can use manufacturers coupons<br />
You do NOT need to be home when they deliver, simply ask for an unattended delivery.<br />
You can pay with credit card or check. Checks will save you money.<br />
You can get online codes to reduce your price or get free shipping HERE: <a href="http://www.retailmenot.com/view/peapod.com" target="_blank">http://www.retailmenot.com/view/peapod.com </a><br />
Please consider tipping your driver. They have all been super nice and bring the bags of groceries all the way to the kitchen counter if you ask.<br />
Look at delivery times and pick ones that will give you a discount.<br />
Peapod is not offered everywhere. Be sure to search your zipcode to see if it is offered in your part of the country.<br />
<br />
I am in no way affiliated with Peapod and do not receive any incentives for writing this post. Just hoping to help some mommas out.<br />

Why do we send Valentine Cards? and What does it have to do with love? and NO it's NOT Valentimes Day!!!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">First off, I want to make sure that everyone knows that Valentine's Day is spelt with an N. There is no M, and it is NOT Valentimes Day! Ok just had to get that out. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Anyway....I was just reading up on the history of Valentine's Day. I honestly wasn't sure what the real story behind the holiday was, and now I know why. Did you know that even historians don't know for sure?</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">There a couple of theories behind how it all began. Someone performing marriages when it was illegal? Someone writing love letters to a lover while imprisoned? And as with many modern day holidays, it actually began as one holiday that was transformed into a more appropriate, less pagan one. Seriously, who wants to be slapped with goat skin dipped in blood before dating a stranger for a year? Fascinating things to learn about with this holiday! </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">You can read the full history <a href="http://www.history.com/topics/valentines-day" style="color: #cc0033; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">HERE</a>.

In Great Britain, Valentine's Day began to be popularly celebrated around the 17th century. By the middle of the 18th, it was common for friends and lovers of all social classes to exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes, and by 1900 printed cards began to replace written letters due to improvements in printing technology. Ready-made cards were an easy way for people to express their emotions in a time when direct expression of one's feelings was discouraged. Cheaper postage rates also contributed to an increase in the popularity of sending Valentine's Day greetings.<br /><br />Americans probably began exchanging hand-made valentines in the early 1700s. In the 1840s, Esther A. Howland began selling the first mass-produced valentines in America. Howland, known as the “Mother of the Valentine,” made elaborate creations with real lace, ribbons and colorful pictures known as "scrap." Today, according to the Greeting Card Association, an estimated 1 billion Valentine’s Day cards are sent each year, making Valentine's Day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year. (An estimated 2.6 billion cards are sent for <a href="http://www.history.com/topics/christmas" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #007ac9; font-weight: 400; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Christmas</a>.)

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium;">A couple weeks ago I read a news article that left me grief stricken and angry. It was a report on the number of children that were killed by abuse and neglect, despite being looked into by Child Protective Services. Today I was so encouraged to see that there is an organization out there trying to prevent such abuse and neglect. I hope by spreading the word, others will know where to turn, and those that can will step up to help out.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A recent Indianapolis Star article (“Could deaths of Indiana children have been prevented?” Jan. 22) confirmed what many of us already know: Government programs alone cannot protect children from abuse and neglect.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
In fact, caseworkers at the Department of Child Services are asked to do the impossible: investigate thousands of reports of abuse and neglect, keep tabs on volatile family situations, monitor foster care placements and, perhaps most challenging, know when it’s safe to reunite children with their parents. No wonder so many children are suffering and, in some cases, losing their lives.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
What if we could step into a family crisis to prevent abuse and neglect before it even starts? At Safe Families for Children, that’s exactly what we do, and you can help.<span id="more-1486"></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Safe Families is a safety net for people who are dealing with stressful circumstances that all too often lead to neglect and abuse. Our trained, rigorously screened volunteers provide a temporary home for children whose parents are experiencing illness, homelessness, job loss, drug addiction and other difficult issues. The children remain with the volunteer family while their parents address the issues that led to the separation. Biological parents maintain full custody and can call or visit their children any time during the placement, which can last from a day to several months.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
What makes Safe Families special is the relationships that develop between volunteers and the families they serve, relationships that continue after children have returned home. Our volunteers babysit the kids, take the family to church, bring over groceries and offer many other kinds of help. In a very real way, these volunteers become an important part of the at-risk family’s support system.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Safe Families began in Chicago in 2002 and is now active in 40 cities nationwide. In Indianapolis, the program has arranged nearly 800 hosting opportunities since 2008; we currently average about one a day. In 2011, placements increased by 44 percent from 250 to 361; the number of approved Safe Families volunteers increased by 69 percent from 101 to 171.Our staff of five oversees each placement and works closely with other community agencies to provide supportive services for the family in need.</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Sometimes even a brief encounter with Safe Families makes all the difference. Recently, we were asked to place two young boys whose mother was receiving mental health services. Her health problems had begun when she stopped taking her medication in order to safely breastfeed her newborn, and they quickly spiraled out of control. After a brief inpatient stay, her mental status improved considerably and she was reunited with her children. This young mom is back to providing loving care to her children. But who knows what might have happened if Safe Families had not been there to help?</div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 18px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Safe Families accepts referrals from other social service organizations such as The Children’s Bureau, Healthy Families and Connect to Help, as well as churches and individuals. DCS is aware of our services, and we stand ready to partner with the agency. Thousands of children and families in the Indianapolis area could benefit from the care Safe Families volunteer provides. By supporting them now, before abuse and neglect occur, we can help build a brighter future for them and for our community as a whole.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 19px;">I absolutely LOVE The History Channel. Even my sons will ask to watch programs on it, and I know they are learning. They strive to be as accurate as possible which is what I find to be the best aspect of their programs. Below is an article that comes from The History Channel website. I want to make sure everyone has access to learning about the first Thanksgiving to share with your family. You can find all of the below info here: <a href="http://www.history.com/topics/thanksgiving" style="color: #cc0033; text-decoration: none;">http://www.history.com/topics/thanksgiving</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"></span><br />

For more than two centuries, days of thanksgiving were celebrated by individual colonies and states. It wasn't until 1863, in the midst of the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national Thanksgiving Day to be held each November.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 9px;"></span></span><br />

After a treacherous and uncomfortable crossing that lasted 66 days, they dropped anchor near the tip of Cape Cod, far north of their intended destination at the mouth of the Hudson River.

Only half of the Mayflower’s original passengers and crew lived to see their first New England spring. In March, the remaining settlers moved ashore, where they received an astonishing visit from an Abenaki Indian who greeted them in English. Several days later, he returned with another Native American, Squanto, a member of the Pawtuxet tribe who had been kidnapped by an English sea captain and sold into slavery before escaping to London and returning to his homeland on an exploratory expedition. Squanto taught the Pilgrims, weakened by malnutrition and illness, how to cultivate corn, extract sap from maple trees, catch fish in the rivers and avoid poisonous plants. He also helped the settlers forge an alliance with the Wampanoag, a local tribe, which would endure for more than 50 years and tragically remains one of the sole examples of harmony between European colonists and Native Americans.</span></span></div>

Now remembered as American’s “first Thanksgiving”—although the Pilgrims themselves may not have used the term at the time—the festival lasted for three days. While no record exists of the historic banquet’s exact menu, the Pilgrim chronicler Edward Winslow wrote in his journal that Governor Bradford sent four men on a “fowling” mission in preparation for the event, and that the Wampanoag guests arrived bearing five deer. Historians have suggested that many of the dishes were likely prepared using traditional Native American spices and cooking methods. Because the Pilgrims had no oven and the Mayflower’s sugar supply had dwindled by the fall of 1621, the meal did not feature pies, cakes or other desserts, which have become a hallmark of contemporary celebrations.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">World War I, then normally referred to simply as The Great War (no one could imagine any war being greater!), ended with the implementation of an armistice [temporary cessation of hostilities-in this case until the final peace treaty, the infamous Treaty of Versailles, was signed in 1919] between the Allies and Germany at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of November, 1918.</span></div>

The original concept for the celebration was for the suspension of business for a two minute period beginning at 11 A.M., with the day also marked by parades and public mettings.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-seri; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">World War I – known at the time as “The Great War” - officially ended when the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles outside the town of Versailles, France. However, fighting ceased seven months earlier when an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, between the Allied nations and Germany went into effect on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For that reason, November 11, 1918, is generally regarded as the end of “the war to end all wars.”</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-seri; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The United States Congress officially recognized the end of World War I when it passed a concurrent resolution on June 4, 1926, with these words:</span></div>
<blockquote>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-seri; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><strong><em>Whereas</em></strong> the 11th of November 1918, marked the cessation of the most destructive, sanguinary, and far reaching war in human annals and the resumption by the people of the United States of peaceful relations with other nations, which we hope may never again be severed, and</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-seri; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><strong><em>Whereas</em></strong> it is fitting that the recurring anniversary of this date should be commemorated with thanksgiving and prayer and exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding between nations; and</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-seri; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><strong><em>Whereas</em></strong> the legislatures of twenty-seven of our States have already declared November 11 to be a legal holiday: Therefore be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), that the President of the United States is requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on November 11 and inviting the people of the United States to observe the day in schools and churches, or other suitable places, with appropriate ceremonies of friendly relations with all other peoples.</span></div>
</blockquote>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-seri; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U. S. Code, Sec. 87a) approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday—a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as "Armistice Day." Armistice Day was primarily a day set aside to honor veterans of World War I, but in 1954, after World War II had required the greatest mobilization of soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen in the Nation’s history; after American forces had fought aggression in Korea, the 83rd Congress, at the urging of the veterans service organizations, amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word "Armistice" and inserting in its place the word "Veterans." With the approval of this legislation (Public Law 380) on June 1, 1954, November 11th became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-seri; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Later that same year, on October 8th, President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued the <a href="http://www1.va.gov/opa/vetsday/docs/proclamation_1954.pdf" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;">first "Veterans Day Proclamation"</a> which stated: "In order to insure proper and widespread observance of this anniversary, all veterans, all veterans' organizations, and the entire citizenry will wish to join hands in the common purpose. Toward this end, I am designating the Administrator of Veterans' Affairs as Chairman of a Veterans Day National Committee, which shall include such other persons as the Chairman may select, and which will coordinate at the national level necessary planning for the observance. I am also requesting the heads of all departments and agencies of the Executive branch of the Government to assist the National Committee in every way possible."</span></div>

Higley, Administrator of Veterans' Affairs (VA)</a>, designating him as Chairman of the Veterans Day National Committee.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-seri; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">In 1958, the White House advised VA's General Counsel that the 1954 designation of the VA Administrator as Chairman of the Veterans Day National Committee applied to all subsequent VA Administrators. Since March 1989 when VA was elevated to a cabinet level department, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs has served as the committee's chairman.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The Uniform Holiday Bill (Public Law 90-363 (82 Stat. 250)) was signed on June 28, 1968, and was intended to ensure three-day weekends for Federal employees by celebrating four national holidays on Mondays: Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day. It was thought that these extended weekends would encourage travel, recreational and cultural activities and stimulate greater industrial and commercial production. Many states did not agree with this decision and continued to celebrate the holidays on their original dates.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-seri; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The first Veterans Day under the new law was observed with much confusion on October 25, 1971. It was quite apparent that the commemoration of this day was a matter of historic and patriotic significance to a great number of our citizens, and so on September 20th, 1975, President Gerald R. Ford signed Public Law 94-97 (89 Stat. 479), which returned the annual observance of Veterans Day to its original date of November 11, beginning in 1978. This action supported the desires of the overwhelming majority of state legislatures, all major veterans service organizations and the American people.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, sans-seri; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Veterans Day continues to be observed on November 11, regardless of what day of the week on which it falls. The restoration of the observance of Veterans Day to November 11 not only preserves the historical significance of the date, but helps focus attention on the important purpose of Veterans Day: A celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I'm always fascinated with history, especially the history behind our current day holidays and traditions. I knew quite a bit about the traditions of Halloween, but really wanted to learn more this year. I decided to go to The History Channel's website for a more accurate account. Here is what I found.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 22px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-size: medium;">"Straddling the line between fall and winter, plenty and paucity, life and death, Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. It is thought to have originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off roaming ghosts. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1 as a time to honor all saints and martyrs; the holiday, All Saints’ Day, incorporated some of the traditions of Samhain. The evening before was known as All Hallows’ Eve and later Halloween. Over time, Halloween evolved into a secular, community-based event characterized by child-friendly activities such as trick-or-treating. In a number of countries around the world, as the days grow shorter and the nights get colder, people continue to usher in the winter season with gatherings, costumes and sweet treats."</span></span><br />

I tell my kids God is watching them. Someone mentioned that there is now a Christmas Angel that comes with gold dust & a book." If anyone wants to look into it here's the link:<a href="http://www.yourchristmasangel.com/products-page/" rel="nofollow nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://www.yourchristmasangel.com/products-page/</a></span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">From the Christmas Angel website:</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #439398; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"What an amazing opportunity we have as parents to instill values and principles into our children. The Christmas season is about a precious story to celebrate a gift that none of us deserve, but have an opportunity to receive. The birth of Jesus is the greatest example of love. So how can we show the same love to others? Simply by putting others before ourselves. We should help our children focus on giving rather than receiving, for that is the true spirit of Christmas."</span></span></span><br />
