The kids, your work, the house, the dog... you're so busy spinning plates that your health seems to come LAST in every single mental to-do list.
You're not looking your best (and you're certainly not feeling your best) because…well, how could there be time to think about your own needs when every day is so full of challenges and responsibilities?
You'd love to make more home-cooked meals and you know that organic food is better for your family, but it takes so much planning – and healthy ingredients seem so darned expensive.
You'd rather use natural, homemade cleaning products instead of store items filled with unpronounceable chemicals, but you'd also rather spend time with your family instead of mixing together lotions and potions.
You know that lifestyle changes like these could make a huge difference to your family's health issues – whether that's your kids suffering with allergies, your spouse struggling with weight gain, or your own lack of energy and focus. A few small modifications to your daily habits could even protect you and those you love against serious illnesses like diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
But how are you ever going to find time – let alone hundreds of dollars – for all that research and information-gathering?
We used to feel that way too. But thankfully we discovered some fantastic resources that gave us the information we needed to dramatically improve our health and wellbeing.
We've overcome many problems with our health – both minor and extremely major – and we can tell you this: there is hope. Equipped with the right knowledge, you have the power to make a real difference to your life and to the lives of those you love.
It's time to pass on what we've learned!
We wanted to "pay it forward," and make it ridiculously easy for you to access the same benefits we experienced.

The bonuses include a free yoga membership, free liquid herbal formula, and a whole lot more.

Here's How This Class Will Teach You Everything You Need for a Safe, Comfortable, Natural Birth:
This natural childbirth class is put together in a way that will make it as easy as possible for you to learn what you need to know, as well as give you full, unlimited access to personal support to answer any of the questions you have along the way. The personal support is a real perk to the class, because you'll be able to get the most up-to-date information on natural birthing you'll find anywhere.
Here's How the Class Works:
Each of the 8 class sessions will be sent to you automatically, one per week, so you have plenty of time to go through the material without getting overwhelmed – the class is self-paced, and you have lifetime access to the material.
In each session, you'll have easy-to-listen-to audio lessons, print tutorials and downloadable references that let you learn what you need to know and give you the flexibility to go through the materials whenever and wherever is easiest for you.
You'll get special "make your life easier" material like a full 2-week daily menu plan for healthy eating (this is a take-you-by-the-hand-and-show-you-how-it's-made plan you're going to love) and a childbirth fear clearing template.
You'll also get personal support for all your questions via a weekly Q&A call (and you can even email Kristen if that's easier for you!). Email access is unlimited, too – meaning you can get your questions answered even long after the class is done.
When you've finished listening to each lesson you'll know exactly what you need to do to have a healthy pregnancy and feel confident and prepared for your baby's natural birth, too!

All of the bonus companies have agreed to honor their regular shipping policies, which means that if they have free shipping at $25 or more, or whatever they usually offer, they'll allow you to get that shipping rate. In other words, a lot of online "special offers" will bump up the shipping in order to compensate for whatever it is they're giving you for "free". Our companies are not doing that. There are also several items that are digital items (online memberships, video files, etc.) and for these bonuses, there are, of course, no shipping costs.
All bonus offers are available until January 30th, 2015.
This is your last chance to get this bundle. After December 30th 2014, we will no longer have the rights to distribute the eBooks.We offered this same bundle in September, 2014 and over 18,000 picked up theirs in just 6 days. But we had a deluge of emails from folks that missed the sale and were kicking themselves for missing out. We were able to negotiate this one time "flash sale", but we will not be able to get a second extension. So this is it!

It goes downstairs to interact with it, till he reach the animal left. That is supposed to be homeless, technically. And to make everything worse, two of the cats had died on the porch of my house. The sims luck is horrible. Is there someone else has more luck with finding and befriending stray dogs / cats?

It happened in the blink of an eye.
A drunk driver killed Tim Demby's wife, his wife's sister and her husband. Demby himself was badly injured. He says nothing has been the same since that night on Indian Head Highway June 2011.
On Wednesday, everything changed for that drunk driver. A jury found 36-year-old Harry Easter guilty of 14 charges including three vehicular manslaughter counts for killing Gwendolyn Demby, Cordelia Roberts and Eugene Johnson.
For their survivors, the verdict provides a rare moment of joy.
"I'm relieved to know I'm not gonna see him on the streets anymore," says Nakita Johnson-Reed. "He doesn't have the opportunity to hurt anyone else's family he way he hurt ours."
Prosecutors convinced the jury that Easter had a blood alcohol content of .24, three times the legal drunk driving standard. He was going 89 mph and may have passed out before his SUV slammed into the rear of the small Mazda the two couples from northern Virginia were riding in.
Easter's lawyer claimed in closing arguments that Easter's passenger, who actually owned the truck, was driving. Jurors didn't believe it.
Easter, who'd been free, was put in handcuffs he faces 33 years in prison.
"I just saw a man that was trying to find a way to get out of it like a fly stuck between a screen and a window," says Tim Demby. "But justice was served today so he has a lot of time to think about it."

REVIEW SNAPSHOT®by PowerReviews

Comments about Pearl S2000/C Eliminator Snare Stand:
The Pearl S2000/C Eliminator Snare Stand excells in the stable balance. You can put this stand on a wet floor and it still won't slip, even while your playing as loud as you can. It has adjustable arms that will adjust to all size snare drums from 10" to 16" in diameter, it has very accurate size settings. But I would rather recommend the DW 9300 Heavy Duty Snare Drum Stand, it's cheaper, and more durable. When I got this stand, it seemed kind of fragile and that it could have break anytime soon, but the DW 9300 snare drum stand was really tough, and it delivers more than the Pearl S2000/C Eliminator Snare Stand. The DW 9300 snare stand has memory locks and heavy double-braced legs while this pearl snare stand's legs are really thin, and might break easily. The upside about this stand though is balance, which is very important so your drum won't fall over. All in all, I would recommend the DW 9300 Heavy Duty Snare Drum Stand rather than the Pearl S2000/C Eliminator Snare Stand.
Comments about Pearl S2000/C Eliminator Snare Stand:
This stand is one of the best stands I've ever known. I've had two other stands and this one is like rock. No wobble, no bend. Very sturdy. The Pinpoint Positioning System is a great feature especially when using traditional grip, you can find the angle that's best for you. I can easily find the right size of the arms when traveling. Pearl did it again; undeniably a great product.Final words: GET THIS STAND! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!!!
Comments about Pearl S2000/C Eliminator Snare Stand:
This stand beats the competitor in all possible aspects. The solid construction and quick release spikes are very good qualities of this stand. The stands most noticeable feature includes the uniball/ universal joint. Unlike a plastic ball joint, the s-2000 stand incorporates a very solid metal on metal joint for endless positioning of the snare. One lever releases the locking mechanism and the basket can be placed in many dimensions. The only questionable design flaw is the plastic basket adjuster, I have had no problems yet and probably wont. Whats the stand like when incorporating a double bass drum pedal. Is the clearance between the rod and stand acceptable?

Butch Walker Creates Music From Ashes
Set List
"Going Back/Going Home"
"Passed Your Place, Saw Your Car, Thought Of You"
"Here Comes The..."
Within every cloud of tragedy exists a silver lining, and for producer-turned-songwriter Butch Walker, his is Sycamore Meadows. In 2007's California wildfires, Walker lost his home and many personal possessions, including masters to every song he's recorded. The album, named for his home address, shifts toward subtle acoustic instrumentation, painting the scenery of his personal loss and heartache.
Rather than dwell in sorrow, however, Walker retains his upbeat pop-rock sound. Sycamore Meadows incorporates dashes of gospel, folk and rock, while experimenting with a more stripped-down and emotional approach. Here, Walker joins host David Dye to explain how losing his possessions actually helped free his mind and overcome writer's block.

"The arms race for money that drives our campaigns threatens the concept of one person, one vote."
Citizens United Against "Citizens United"
NCVCE has recently taken part in more than half a dozen events and forums about the U.S. Supreme Court's controversial decision in Citizens United v. FEC.
The ruling strikes down long-standing laws against corporate spending on elections, making it easier for special interests to dominate the political process.
Find out more information about what this decision means for North Carolina.
If you're interested in organizing your own event email Melissa at email@example.com.
Ten Years, Many Victories
One decade ago, NC Voters for Clean Elections was formed as North Carolina's campaign finance reform coalition.
Over the year's our coalition has accomplished a lot: increasing transparency, holding politicians accountable, and creating alternative Voter-Owned Elections programs for appellate judges and the Council of State.
Highlights from a Decade of Campaign Finance Reform Work in NC:

Voter-Owned Elections
Why We Need It
- Without clean elections we're getting less democracy for more money.
- The skyrocketing cost of campaigns pushes candidates into a money chase, and almost all the campaign donations (90%) from North Carolina donors comes from only 1% of the state's population.
- Voters are turned off, and many qualified candidates are excluded by a lack of funds.
- Candidates spend too much time raising money and not enough time interacting with voters.

WASHINGTON — Ahead of the holiday travel crunch, President Bush has settled on steps intended to reduce air traffic congestion and long delays that have left passengers stranded.
The White House said Bush would announce a series of decisions, including action to aid travelers whose flights are canceled or delayed. The Transportation Department has been drafting regulations to increase the bump fees for travelers who buy tickets but wind up without a seat. The department has been considering increasing the fee from $200 to more than $600.
Bush was to announce the action Thursday during a meeting at the White House with Transportation Secretary Mary Peters and Bobby Sturgell, acting administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration.
The airline industry's on-time performance this year has been its worst since comparable data began being collected in 1995. The Transportation Department said last month that 25.2 percent of domestic flights arrived late between January and August.

Domestic carriers are expected to fly roughly 27 million passengers worldwide over 12 days beginning Nov. 16, with planes about 90 percent full, according to the Air Transport Association.
Several airline executives, testifying before the House Transportation Committee Thursday on holiday travel prospects, said they were preparing to care for passengers in the event of weather or air traffic control-related delays.
Jetblue Airways CEO Dave Barger acknowledged that "we let our customers down" last February when hundreds of passengers were stranded on parked JetBlue planes for up to 10 1/2 hours. "In fact, to be candid, we failed them."
He said that with added deicing equipment and crew and expanded customer service personnel, "JetBlue is ready for the holidays."
But Rep. John Mica, R-Fla., said there was "some very bad news for people who think there is going to be a quick cure to congestion." He said that even if everything went smoothly, implementation of the next-generation air traffic control system that should reduce disruptions was at least 15 years off.
Bush, on Sept. 27, announced that his administration was looking at ways to reduce air traffic congestion. The president urged Congress to look at legislation to modernize the FAA, and instructed Peters to report back to him quickly about ways to ensure that air passengers are treated appropriately and progress is made to ease congestion.
Peters said at the time she was asking airlines to meet to formulate a plan to improve scheduling at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, one of the nation's busiest. If no solution is found, she said, the department is prepared to issue a scheduling reduction order.
Congestion is not the only problem for air travelers.
A report made public Wednesday said government investigators smuggled liquid explosives and detonators past airport security, exposing a dangerous hole in the nation's ability to keep these forbidden items off of airplanes.
The investigators learned about the components to make an improvised explosive device and an improvised incendiary device on the Internet and purchased the parts at local stores, said the report by the Government Accountability Office. Investigators were able to purchase the components for the two devices for under $150, and they studied the published guidelines for screening to determine how to conceal the prohibited items as they went through checkpoint security.
At the end of the testing, investigators concluded that terrorists could use publicly available information and a few cheaply available supplies to damage an airplane and threaten passenger safety.
The covert tests were conducted at Transportation Security Administration checkpoints at 19 airports in March, May and June of this year. The GAO did not identify the airports.

Day 21: Being Successful
Saturday, October 06, 2012
"See your success, feel your success, and make the commitment to build on it right now. You are successful, and this is the moment to live and enrich your success." ~www.greatday.com
No, I'm not always successful, but right now I'm feeling successful. Key word there is feeling. But how do you measure feelings? I've yet to come across a scale that does that But this is what is happening. I feel like my clothes fit better, I'm meeting my goals I've set for myself which makes me feel proud, I've deleted some bad habits that makes me feel relieved. I've started some new habits that makes me feel excited. So I'm gonna do what the quote above says and relish in the moment and "feel my success". I'm not giving myself a reward or a "deserving" treat, I'm just going to recognize and feel good about the changes I've made and keep moving forward toward more success.
Funfilled day planned, good that I'm up early to get some projects/chores out of the way before the fun begins! DH and I got a good 5 mile walk in last night, the sunset was gorgeous, he wants to go on another one this weekend so we'll have to figure a good time to squeeze it in. I found a cool iphone grocery shopping app that I'm going to give a try next trip to the store. It gives you a running total of your purchases and stores the info. I'm hoping that will help me stick closer to budget or at least help me be more aware of prices. The envelope system app I've been using has been working really well too,especially with the kids, when the envelope is empty... that's it. No more asking "can I buy another lunch at school ?" They have their allotment for the week and they have to figure out how to make it work. That's been a huge stressor lifted out of our mornings.
I'm still keeping things real and getting things done. I'm not getting it ALL done but that's what keeping it real means to me. Being real with where I'm at and getting things done that work in my reality. That feels good to say! Oh brother, now I've got that old song "Feelings" in my head...whoa, whoa whoa feeeeeelings !
Definitely time to stop typing now! Have a great day!!
