Zero!

Wednesday, May 01, 2013

imageOh my… I thought a had a post started for today. I thought it was something like Ground Zero or the likes. It was about my tomatoes and how the garden was ground zero. Argh… I cannot find the post. I do believe my mind made it all up. It was just a dream.

So I have Zero… Nothing… Notta… Zilch. It’s too late for my brain to work on anything. Last post of the #AtoZChallenge and I bomb out on it. Nice….




Yawn

Monday, April 29, 2013

imagePesky thing… Yawning… The kids recently asked me, “why do I yawn after I see someone else yawn?” And you know what, I have not a clue why. I decided to do a bit of research. Do you know how hard it is to not yawn while researching yawning?

I found an article that mentioned yawning was a way to expel large amounts of carbon dioxide. Another article talked about it being a way to cool off the brain. Both of articles talked about no one having any idea what yawning was really for either. Sheesh…

I also noticed in an article (linked here) that yawning could be an emotional/subconscious response. In a nut shell the article was saying that yawning is a form of empathy. I guess it's been found in studies that autistic children do not "catch" a yawn like other people do because they do not have empathy.

Do you happen to know why we yawn? Why is it so contagious?

Yawnnnnn… It’s time for me to answer the call of my yawn and get some sleep.




X is a Wonderful Thing!

Saturday, April 27, 2013

imageI was trying to figure out what word started with X that I could write about today. I couldn’t. I have been thinking on it for awhile too. My little list of possibilities has been what has gotten me through the #AtoZChallenge! Well… X had me stumped. Until I noticed a trend on my list. Every time I got a post written up I would cross it off with nothing other than a X. Eureka!

A X is a wonderful thing! I can count how many projects I’ve completed with each X I see throughout the day. X makes me feel a bit more organized and accomplished.


(I wish my list was THIS short everyday! No real list was hurt in the production of this post. I made up pseudo lists especially for today.)

At times I end up making my stress relieving X with whatever I may have on hand. I cannot tell you how many times a crayon has bailed me out.

So enjoy the letter X! Embrace it even! Bring it into your home and change the way you feel everyday. I think I may be getting a little slap-happy with this A to Z Blog Post Challenge.

What would you write about with the letter X as your inspiration?

I think I was more excited about working on the photos for this post than the actual post. It was fun to dust off my camera. Even for something as simple as a list with a X on it.



W is for Writing

Friday, April 26, 2013

imageEveryday. Maybe I should have W is for Wow! I am just shocked that I have been writing almost everyday for a month. This #AtoZChallenge is pretty amazing.

Now how do I keep writing everyday? Do I want to continue writing everyday? Part of me wants to keep writing everyday and another part of me is looking forward to not having to worry about writing everyday. (Oh… W could be for Worry! We just talked about worrying too much in our devotions this morning.) This writing everyday on my blog has helped me look at my blog in a different light. I may have some new ideas and directions for it. I just don’t know if I can pull it off.

The reason I am torn on writing everyday is because I really just don’t have the time to write everyday. I want to write. I want to do more with this blog but if I let it take over too much than my other priorities slip to the wayside. I can’t let that happen.

So I really have not helped myself much here at all. Continue striving to write everyday? Give myself a break and stop? I am pretty sure that I can come up with something to write about everyday but finding the time. Balance… Something I do not have but I am working toward it.

Vemma Equals Vitamins

Thursday, April 25, 2013

imageI am a fan of Vemma. It is a liquid vitamin. Before I go any further though a few disclaimers:

I am not a doctor. You should speak with your doctor about any medically related questions you may have that include adding a vitamin to your diet. Be careful of food allergies, even in vitamin supplements.

I do not sell this product nor am I getting any kick back for talking about this product. I do have an advertisement for this product on my page but this is not part of that advertisement package. I was already using the product before I took on that advertisement.

There… Done with that mess. Now, about this liquid gold! I don’t know all the technical jibber-jabber to make it sound awesome. I am just a mom who started using it and found out who well it worked!

DSC_0045Vemma is a supplement in liquid format. The adult version of this taste a bit like pineapple, coconut yummy. The children's version (pictured here) is very much like orange juice. The fantastic little Verve in the photo is an energy drink combo of Vemma that will keep you going all. day. long.

I am a firm believer in variety in your diet is key too good health. Adding a supplement can help but it shouldn’t be something you rely on for good health. With Vemma being a liquid the body has an easier time absorbing all the goodies. That is a plus in my book!

Do you remember reading about some issues one of my kiddo's has been experiencing? Cyclic vomiting syndrome, IBD, colitis and now some weird thing I can't even pronounce let alone spell. Well, I am pretty sure that Vemma is helping my kid be more normal. Somehow it soothes the guts and it has definitely boosted them out of anemia. It is such a joy to see this kid up and running! Keep up with siblings! And keeping their head out of a bucket.

I love that I can read and understand what is IN Vemma too. Especially the section listing no artificial flavors, colors, gluten free and NO GMO! Woowho! Triple score! The kids have been very healthy this winter. I hope that they can continue that route. Even if one of them seems to have a body that wants to fight itself off. Vemma helps but I knew that it wouldn’t make everything perfect. I am thrilled with what I believe it has done for the kids though. You can learn more about the products by clicking the little rotating ad in my sidebar of clicking right here.

Do you use an vitamins at your house? Have anything to recommend?
