This circle is anything and everything about our honey - our husband, our partner. Be supportive. Compromise. Listen. Relationship is both ways.
LATEST POSTED BY: QuiltndollmakerMy sweet hubby and I have been married for 37 years. When we had been married for only about 8 years we were having bummpy times with two kids calling it quits was not a solution for us. We went to one of those seminars for couples and it saved us! I am so thankful we have hung in there and supported one another through thick and thin, and terrible times with a troubled teen! He is my best friend and rock! I think Compromise and humor are sooo important to keeping a relationship alive for the long haul....ViewJuly.14th.2011Sandwich Generation

LATEST POSTED BY: Deborah15 Ways to Eat Healthy Without Breaking the Bank.... I am very committed to eating really healthfully and feeding my family as much nutritious food as possible. Many people complain to me that they can’t buy fresh, organic food because it’s too expensive. It’s interesting to me that 100 years ago we spent twenty-five percent of our disposable income on food and now we only spend ten percent. Furthermore, we’re actually consuming more food than before, while getting fatter and sicker. But I do think we’re starting to make the connection that we have a lot of cheap food in this country, and that cheap food has hidden costs—to our physical bodies, as well as the environment.

LATEST POSTED BY: jnovelloHi Everyone, I am new to the Motherhood site and soon to be a SAHM. I have 2 girls age 7 and 2 and daughter number 3 is due at the end of March. I am finally going to be able to be a SAHM due to the fact that i found a way to make an income from home and not have to put my girls in daycare. Any tips? A lot of people i know say that staying at home isn't easy and that its a lot of work. I am looking forward to it and can't wait but can understand what people mean. I am sure there are times when you just need some mommy alone time but my kids are my world so I am sure I am going to love it! Counting the days down until i can be a SAHMViewJanuary.8th.2012

As Brandie and I have concluded, there's no 12 step program for those of us that can't seem to leave this place for more than a couple of hours, so this will be our support system. I don't know what we'll talk about in here, but at least there'll be a place for us to meet. I mean, come on- who DOESN'T want to be able to say,"I'm in a 12 step program because of my kids"?

LATEST POSTED BY: Erin OToo lazy to work out: Blame your genes? Canadian researchers believe they have pinpointed a gene that differentiates gym rats from couch potatoes Can't get off the couch and to the gym? You may actually have a legitimate excuse. A new Canadian study suggests, ingratiatingly, that your genes might be to blame. Here, a brief guide: What did the study find exactly? Scientists at McMaster University found that deleting two muscle genes from mice who were otherwise active runners, easily clocking 5 miles a day, left them struggling to complete a 30-second sprint. The mice immediately lost interest in exercise, says lead researcher Gregory Steinberg. "When we gave them an option to run, they'd sit on the wheel and climb it and rock back and forth." Which genes were removed? A set of muscle genes that control an enzyme called AMP-kinase (AMPK), which helps turn food into energy. The more AMPK one generates, the more energy one typically has. Old age, obesity, and inactivity can hinder the production of AMPK. What does this mean for humans? Researchers says the genes are "absolutely the same" in humans and mice. Perhaps, points out the International Business Times, but "results of studies on mice are not always reliable when applied to humans." But if these findings do apply to humans, "this can explain why it's so hard to get started with exercising," says Steinberg. "You have the same potential as someone who is active, but you haven't been using it, so it's a 'use it or lose it' phenomenon." Those who aren't active may find exercising difficult as first, but it will become more rewarding as AMPK production kicks in. The more active you are, the more AMPK you have — and the easier it is to work out.
