I encourage everyone to sign the petition and encourage your kids to see the movie. Bringing light to bullying and talk about it, this is the only way to stop the intimidation.

I support a Bully free school where kids are free to be themselves. Where teachers stand up and do what’s right for the good of all children, not just the popular ones!

Be apart of the solution and support this film and its efforts!

My best friend just started a new job and I wanted to buy her a trendy lunch bag for her to carry her lunch to work. It had to be trendy, hip and stylish, not a boring square tote. While searching for lunch bags I was directed to the stylish lunchbags for women category. What an array of choices, I never knew there where
so many brands and styles to choose from. There was various companies offering choices like Endless, Overstock, and Vera Bradley and best of all I found a KOKO Sadie lunch bag in denim for an additional 20% off, you can’t beat that… Score!

I was on a roll and looking for my next deal! With a new little one joining our family mid January I was excited to see what they had in baby clothes. I started searching through the site and found monkey baby stuff, so darn cute everything monkey! I found an adorable “just arrived” monkey bodysuit and several other monkey items. The best part was they where all in stock and affordable.

Now for my brother, he is so difficult to shop for. He’s always working and traveling so when I am looking for him I always try to find something practical, that way I know he will use it. His work requires him to be on his feet a lot so I thought a new pair of work boots might be nice,  browsing for shoes lead me to Maine wood boots. I found a pair of L.L. Bean Maine hunting shoes comfortable for work or play. I know he’s going to love them.

Shopping at Become.com is easy to navigate, I save time and gas because I am not driving around comparing
prices, when I find what I am looking for I click to  place my order and my presents are on their way. I will definitely be using this site again…..

Let me tell you, being in a hot room for an hour and 20 minutes your going to sweat! At first I thought I was going to die and I live in Arizona
so I know hot. However, you get used to it. Sweating helps you get rid of unwanted toxins and your skin looks wonderful from all that cleansing.  I read that the sweat you produce in hot yoga is 5x more than an hour of jogging. That’s great news since I spend a lot of
time laying on my mat

Flexibility:

Okay, anything that makes you stand on one foot or twist into a pretzel is going to give you more flexibility. I am in my forties and I have seen a great improvement in my flexibility (ask my hubby). Seriously, yoga works all the joints in your body and ones you haven’t used in sometime. So, if I can avoid getting stiff in my old age, then it’s worth the heat.

Sleep:

The first week I took Yoga, I could not sleep. My body awakened and it was super charged. Now that I have been practicing a little longer I have noticed I am much calmer. My sleep patterns are stable and I wake up each morning feeling rested and ready for the day.

Friendship:

Yoga is the go to place. It’s like marketing on steroids. It’s great for networking, making new friends and learning about community resources. During your practice it is quite and it’s about you and only you. But you open the doors and the halls are a buzz, a great support system and everyone needs that when you’re trying to lose weight or improve your heath.

Posture:

With all the different positions and stretching in yoga your posture is for sure going to improve. Yoga elongates your muscles, your instructor helps with your form and it becomes second nature.

I recommend trying Hot Yoga it’s worth the sweat!

Since he was our first we would go to great lengths to give him everything. So, when McDonalds started carrying Hercules toys in their Happy Meals, you know we had to collect them all. But wait, that’s not all, they also had collector plates! So, between the plates and the toys my husband and I went to several different McDonalds bartering and trading our way to a complete set of toys and plates. I can not tell you how many Happy Meals I took back to the office, boy where those great lunches.

To say the least my son was obsessed with the movie and then he fell in love with Meg. He had every character figure from the Disney store. So suddenly he was carrying Meg around not Hercules. He would tell me he loved her and was going to marry her when he got older. I thought how cute and thought nothing much of it.

So, one day from preschool he asked to have his new friend over. This boy’s parents agreed but gave me strict instructions on what their child was allowed to do and eat due to their religious beliefs. I told them no problem and off the boy’s went to have a great day. At the end of the day when the mother came over to pick up her son, I told her how much fun the boys had and that we would have to get them together again. No sooner did I say this when my son and his friend came out of the room with Meg and Hercules. Meg was tied up with duck tape. Her hands behind her back, tape across her body and mouth, wearing no clothes.

We both looked at them and I thought to myself what on earth are they doing. But it was the mother of the other child who spoke first. Her eyes got big and she said “what are you boys doing”! My son replied” we tied her up, she’s in trouble. The mom turned to me and said “you know what that is, Bondage” How would your son know about that! I replied there must be an explanation. I asked my son and he explained that Meg has been captured by Hades’ and he had her in smoke chains because she’s a prisoner. The mom of the other child said then why is she naked! My son replied because duck tape made her clothes sticky. I looked at the other mother and she smiled nervously and out the door she went.
Makes you wonder!!!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with their family and friends; we truly have a lot to be thankful for!
