It has happened again.

Another summer has whizzed by. My kids are another year
older.

With two children grown and another two still under my
wing, I have come to appreciate my fleeting opportunity
to BE THERE for my young charges. To form and nurture a
lasting relationship with each of them.

Frankly, I've come to see that a simple hug is a very
powerful thing.

That being said, I would like to offer you a few
compelling reasons to hug YOUR precious ones every
single day.

Hugs....

- lower your blood pressure. Or at least feel like it.
- nurture a team spirit. The family team, that is.
- are free. So do it twice.
- are what kids honestly crave. No matter what they say!
- get kids' attention. And open their ears.
- can melt multiple harsh words. For both you and your
child.
- make you smile! And it's tough to stay angry when
you're smilin'.
- model generosity of spirit. Give and you shall receive!
- are the right way to welcome home someone weary from his
or her day.
- feel GREAT!

Many scientific studies have shown the positive effects
of hugging. More importantly to me, I've seen the
positive effects in my own family.

As parents, we sometimes grope for the right words to
inspire our children. We question our own choice of
disciplinary tactics. We agonize over our apparent
inadequacies in this most important of jobs.

So hug.

Hugging is virtually always helpful (especially when our
children claim to not want it); soothing, comforting, and
very hard to over-do, as long as you are sincere.

Best of all, when the hugs start coming back at you,
you'll know why 'Mom' or 'Dad' is the best title in the
world!

You don't need a miracle to get in shape…and you don't need lots
of free time. You can get in shape and start losing weight
working out just 12 minutes per day.


Moms are busy. Most have very little time to dedicate to a
solid fitness regimen. In fact, most mothers deserve an award
just for showing up on the job every day. Taking care of the
kids is hard work, and it's difficult to find time to eat right
and work out when the children are constantly in need of
personalized attention.


So what can busy moms do to get in shape?




Get in Shape in 12 Minutes Per Day


Take 12 minutes out of every day. If you need to, you can
even get up 12 minutes early. Most people can find at least
12 minutes every day.


There are several strength training routines that can be
accomplished in just 12 minutes. Consider investing in a set
of free weight and home gym equipment if you don't already have
some. The key to fast fitness is attention to form. When you
are working out in just 12 minutes, you must perform each set
of exercise you do flawlessly to get an effective work out.
When lifting weights, take 4 full seconds to raise the weight,
and 4 full seconds to lower the weight. This is critical to
the effectiveness of a 12 minute workout.


By slowing down your movement, you take out any momentum and
without momentum, only your muscle is working to move the
weight.


Anybody can easily perform 4 exercises with perfect form in 12
minutes. If you add just 12 minutes of cardio vascular activity,
even jogging in place, you'll get fitter even faster. You don't
have to work out each 12 minutes consecutively; consider 12
minutes in the morning and 12 minutes in the evening.




Strategies for Losing Weight


There are many lifestyle changes that you can incorporate into
your life that will also help promote fitness in time crunched
times. When going to the grocery store, rather than drive
around for hours searching for the closest parking spot, park
in the one farthest away. You're body will appreciate the
extra effort it takes to get to the store and you'll be
exercising without even thinking about it.


Also take the stairs whenever possible, particularly if you are
just going to the second floor. This little bit of activity
will also act as a mini energy re-charger. Stairs are
everywhere. If you are near an escalator, chances are the
stairs are right around the corner. You might even have some
in hour house. Have the kids climb them with you.


Don't forget to engage the children in fitness. Take the kids
outside for a walk, you'll all benefit from the fresh air and
extra exercise. If you are watching a television program
together, commit to doing crunches or stretching on commercial
breaks. By doing so, fitness becomes a game, one that will
change your life and start instilling healthy habits in your
children from an early age.

[COMMENT]]]> Thu, 16 Sep 2004 09:17:46 -0400 http://quikonnex.com/channel/link.php?id=6598 A Mommy Moment - by Kim Bloomer http://quikonnex.com/channel/link.php?id=6146 A Mommy Moment
By Kim Bloomer
©Copyright 2004 - KimBloomer.com

This is going to sound strange, not being a mommy but having a “mommy moment”; it sounds strange to me too! So, let me take you back a few years so I can explain.

When my nephew was 2 years old (he’s now 10), I offered to babysit him one day a week so I could develop a relationship with him. I’d missed out on doing this with the previous 5 nieces and nephews to a large extent so I didn’t want to miss out on this one. This little boy had already captured my heart but I wanted more. Well, I’ll tell you, I got more! He has always been very intelligent, not to mention that he was TWO. You mommies all know what that means, right?

You moms are all going to laugh, because although I’m the eldest of six children and very capable of diaper changing and feeding, I had no idea what to actually “do” with him all day. I kept thinking how do women get anything done when they have children around? That first day I was wiped out tired when his parents picked him up because I just assumed that a toddler needed constant entertaining.

We played with his toys which took up about 10 minutes, went outside to look at plants and tell him the names of flowers, and my golden retriever joined in but that took maybe another 15 minutes. I had only 6 ½ hours to go! The diaper changing took up a bit of time (I was rusty), and meal time was interesting trying to understand what he did and didn’t like – I was fooled. Then I decided, well I need a moment to rest, I’ll play some music! That was the key to a very enjoyable summer of learning to interact with my nephew and develop our own special relationship.

One of the first things I did was shorten the hours I had him with me! I wanted to get to know him, NOT become a surrogate mom. We finally got a routine down where we listened to music and danced together. It was such great fun and we both laughed and enjoyed that. I participated with his parents in the potty training phase – something I don’t feel the need to do again but was a good lesson for me to learn. I learned he liked “macky cheese” for lunch and of course, since I am auntie, he got special chocolate snacks too. That made nap time even more difficult since he wasn’t ever and still isn’t the napping sort. How could anyone nap with all that sugar in them anyway??

Our relationship grew and grew as that wonderful summer progressed. He was a great little helper, and even helped me clean my refrigerator one day. My dog was used to being my baby and he was jealous but ever the tolerant golden. I taught my nephew how to dance, which was fun and we played lots of boy tumbling games – I’m a tomboy myself so it worked. Since it was summer I joined him at my mom’s one day a week too. He always wanted to swim with mostly me, much to his parents chagrin. To this day, Thursdays are my swimming days with him and now his sister too. I guess he brought out the kid in me! You may be wondering where is that “mommy moment”, so here it comes.

On one of our “days” together, my husband and I were in the kitchen talking. My husband was working a swing type shift for the US Postal Service back then and hadn’t left for work yet. “Macky cheese” was cooking on the stove, not yet ready for my nephew to do his part of adding the cheese and stirring, the stereo was blaring in the background, my dog was trucking around keeping an eye on my nephew. My nephew was skipping around in a circle nearby making toddler noises.

Then it happened – the “mommy moment”. I stopped talking to my husband to look at my nephew and sort of chuckle at his toddler singing noises, and looked around in a sort of daze, thinking, “This is a mommy moment!” This is what moms do all day and never think twice about it in order to keep their sanity and their selves intact. My nephew had blended into my life almost so seamlessly, that I had become comfortable with the routine and noises while keeping an ever vigilant eye open for him and yet continuing on in my daily chores.

This is what all you moms do daily, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week! All I can say is, with much ado, you are all phenomenal women, all of you! God has gifted you with such a tremendous gift of motherhood and with that gift comes a tremendous responsibility.

You fix the “boo boos”, change the diapers, are chauffeur, chef, arbitration expert, financial wizard, stain masters, and so much, much more! Moms, you have all the skills required to run conglomerates just by what is required to be a mom. Remember that during the struggles that inevitably ensue, and grab one of those “mommy moments” from your treasure box to get you through. I do, and I’m not even a mom.

“Listen my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble. Hold onto instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life.” Proverbs 4: 10 – 13, NIV.
Let’s not forget Proverbs 31 either!
