Hi all! Should be an interesting discussion!

Today, 65 percent of high school girls participate in a school sport. In addition to helping them keep fit, participation in athletics gives teen and tween girls a chance to enjoy healthy competition, make new friends, build self confidence, relieve stress and get a built-in support system.One sport in particular, cheerleading, has seen a dramatic increase in participation across the US, with competitive cheerleading growing 46% in the last five years alone.  In honor of National Cheerleading Safety Month, Varsity – the leading source for all things cheerleading – is hosting a live video and chat briefing on TheMotherhood.com, sharing advice for parents who want to encourage their daughters to get involved and participate in healthy activity. 

Heloise, I bet the new mothers would love to have that almost magical stain remover soak I remember from years ago. I think it had dishwasher powder in it.

We moved cross country in December. It was a great reason to evaluate what we had in the way of kitchen items. We kept the best, and gave away or donated the rest!

I always enjoy participating in food drives and getting my children involved. I think when kids realize others go hungry, they may appreciate what's on their own plate more.

We're looking forward to hearing great new ideas for getting our families back to the table!

I have a couple of suggestions on getting the family back to the table. First, shop together for meal ingredients at the local farmer's market. It's economical, fun, and will get family members into healthy eating. Next, prepare the meal together. Even very young children can help wash or dry produce, tear lettiuce for salads, fold napkins, etc. If they help make the meal, they will be more like to enjoy it. Think of all the great dinner conversation topics you are generating!
