Here is my first Mother’s Day pick of 2016. New Moms or experienced Moms will thoroughly and completely love this glass!  Mommy Medicine! I couldn’t stop laughing when I first saw this glass. (I still can’t stop laughing!) This is a funny, funny wine glass! At the end of a long hard day, yelling at kids, picking up toys for the umpteenth time, trying to tackle that mountain of laundry, yelling at kids, fixing dinner, yel… Never mind you get the idea! When the kids are in bed or 10 a.m. (Been there done that I won’t judge) Mommy needs her Mommy Medicine; mostly so the kids live till Daddy gets home. The wine glass will hold 12.75 ounces of  “Mommy Medicine” a long tapered stem for a beautiful look, the extra wide base keeps the glass from toppling over. Made by my favorite glassware company; Got Me Tipsy. I love the sarcasm on their mugs and glasses! One of my favorite coffee mugs is from Got Me Tipsy it says “I love how we all know I’m your favorite child” it cracks me up because my GROWN children fight over who gets to use this mug when they visit! I’m thinking…

You don’t have to look like a supermodel or one of those buff guys on television or at the gym to be in relatively good shape. Face it; being fit comes in all different shapes and sizes. That said it does take time and effort to get the body you want, including one that features a healthy heart. Given the perils of heart disease and other heart-related issues in today’s America, doing what’s best for your heart simply makes sense. Put Your Heart into Being Healthy So that you can increase the odds of living a long and healthy life, there are some practices you can deploy today that should benefit you. For starters, how good (or bad for that matter) is your diet? Eating greasy foods, many of which are high in fatty components, can put your heart at a disadvantage from a young age. While having the occasional burger and fries is okay, don’t make a habit out of it. You should also look to eat more fruits and veggies, especially from an early age on. What some kids (and adults for that matter) once viewed as unfriendly food is after all good for you. When it comes…

When you have to sit at your desk for any length of time a comfortable chair is important. The Husband uses his home office on a daily basis and his old chair sagged on the seat cushion, it was uncomfortable, it didn’t fit under his desk AND above all it was UGLY. (So ugly that it took 3 days for someone to take it off the curb! I think the neighborhood kids are playing with it so I’m not totally convinced it won’t make it back to the curb by Monday!) I was so excited to receive this ergonomic mesh desk chair from ANCHEER to review. Starting with packaging. This chair arrives extremely well packaged. Each piece is wrapped in bubble wrap or plastic. All the way to the screws, which arrive in sealed bags according to size! The chair took maybe 15 minutes to put together. The Husband probably could have worked faster if I hadn’t been ‘helping’ and snapping pictures!! The chair itself is black with breathable open mesh back support and seat, this means that the seat never gets hot! That is one of The Husbands favorite features. The chair is very comfortable to sit in. The…

[Image from Flickr] For some couples, trying to conceive is a stressful and emotional time. The desire to start a family can be strong and so it is extremely upsetting when things don’t go according to plan. Seek Specialist Help If you have any concerns about your fertility, you should seek medical help. Couples under thirty-five who have not conceived naturally within a year should see a doctor. For couples over thirty-five, this is reduced to six months. There are many reasons why you may not have conceived. It doesn’t necessarily indicate that there is a problem. It takes some couples a little longer than others. A medical specialist will be able to assess whether there are any medical reasons and go through your fertility options. Manage Stress Managing stress is much easier said than done. Trying to start a family can be a very stressful time. The emotional toll it can take on your life can be considerable. Unfortunately, stress can get in the way of conception. It affects your hormones and can affect your menstrual cycle. If possible, try to make some changes so that you’re feeling more relaxed. Consider gentle exercise such as yoga or meditation. Try…
