But lately I’ve wanted to get rid of things that remind me of my cancer. Prior to my diagnosis, I felt like everyday objects could hold power. A glittery ribbon on a package sent by my best friend had the ability to make me feel more powerful in the world. Coveting the ribbon, I’d set it on top of my dresser and look at it daily. But I’m not that gal anymore.  Cancer has obliterated a lot of my desire and ability to feel things on a deeper level. I’ve got enough sensations and emotions flying around in my head thanks to medically induced hyperthyroidism. In response to this overload,  I want to scale down keeping things simple.  I don’t have the energy to feel so attached to objects and sentiments.  The ribbon is now a ribbon – not...

UVA is what causes that early darkening of the skin just after sun exposure (as well as deeper tissue damage leading to wrinkles etc… and skin cancer).  Both UV rays cause darkening. In the past, most sunscreens primarily blocked against UVB rays. You may not get burned with these products but you will get dark because UVA rays that penetrate might still cause your skin to turn darker. But now that more studies have come out showing the role that UVA plays in the development of photoaging and skin cancers dermatologists now recommend using a sunscreen that blocks BOTH UVB and UVA. So when you go out and pick a ...

As we noted in June, Texas punished 268 abusive employees who take care of this vulnerable population in state-run care facilities (such as hospitals and schools). Previously, over 1,100 employees were fired or disciplined for mistreating the people under their care. Over one thousand employees! That’s just an amazing number. But I guess justice finally catches up to those who think nothing of mistreating or abusing those in their care. At least that’s what Jesse Salazar discovered this week. You may remember him as one of the 11 people the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services fired in April for encouraging fights among mentally and developmentally disabled residents at one o...

Over the long holiday weekend, my husband and I unpacked and organized some of our belongings. Generally I like to stay away from plastic tubs for organizing things, but the laundry baskets and plastic bags weren’t cutting it to store all of my three daughters’ hand-me-down clothes. It’s hard for each girl to let go of her things as she outgrows them, and I would get everything organized only to find that sneaky hands had stolen into the baskets and plucked out old favorites, leaving a pile of other clothes on the floor. I finally gave in, and here is the result: Tubs for hand-me-down clothes, diapers, and ski clothes My 11.5-month-old now wears size 12-18 months, so I set aside all of the small...

One of those suggestions was to come up with a combination of clothing that makes you feel most comfortable breastfeeding in public. 5 Alternatives to Regular Nursing Clothing While it’s great if you can afford nursing clothing (see Where to Find Nursing Clothes) and can find styles that you like, there are other options. 1. Layer a button-down blouse over a tank top. When you lift up (or pull down) the tank top to nurse, the sides of the open blouse will offer coverage. 2. Layer a regular shirt over a loose-necked tank top. To nurse, lift the shirt up, pull the neck of the tank top down to expose the breast, and your belly will remain covered by the tank top. Or instead of pulling down the tank top, you could cut slits in the tank...

Horray! I notice that favourite T-shirt is a tad snug. He has been fond of Curious George for many a long year and chortles gloriously at the mischievous tales. Since this was a welcome departure from Dinosaurs, and Thomas, my oldest daughter painted this specially designed creation with her own fair hands. Delightfully, it was a hit. I grab my camera as for some reason I don’t appear to have any record of it’s existence and some time soon it will be relegated to the rag bag, threadbare and washed out.

He learned 1-10 quickly and easily when he was 2 1/2 and had a certain fascination with 3 (he’d turn a letter E block backwards to make it look like 3) and, sometimes, 8. Letters were much harder for Charlie to learn. So many more of them, too many rhyme with “ee,” and what do you do about b/d/g/q/p all looking just alike enough to be close cousins?

Recent figures show a shocking rise in skin cancers among those in their 20s and 30s. The experts at Canyon Ranch are weighing in on sunscreen. So here I go again, with some more about this tiring topic. Sunscreen contains unique chemical components which absorb ultraviolet (UV) light. When applied to the skin, the chemical molecules f...

Label-Land’s iron’s on labels are 100 for $9.99—-good thing; Charlie grows so fast he needs new clothes (pants and shorts, certainly, plus his arms are long) every season. Another friend, Hsien Hsien Lei at Eye on DNA, noted another item, Toothprints, which (according to the manufacturer, Kerr Dentistry) can make a full bite impression to identify missing children. The manufacturer also claims that DNA can be extracted from the saliva left on the wafer, and that enough scent remains for a trained dog to detect a child by. Not that we don’t work on teaching Charlie to “stay by mom and dad” and to keep a firm g...

Komen walk in Central Park. She didn't like the over-sized, over-advertised shirts passed out to the masses, so she designed her own. Notice the songbird stripe on the right side of the shirt? This seamstress renovated the piece to create visual balance for women who have lost a breast and wish to forgo mastectomy and prostheses.Jacqueline, who has named her clothing line Rhea Belle, had a right-side mastectomy in January 2004. She knew she would leave her body as is, but her existing wardrobe didn't "fit" her new shape. When she realized she could either accept her changed architecture or camouflage it, she ch...

It is the barrier between our inner and outer worlds. Our skin in one of the most important elements and yet it is one so often overlooked. We take our skin for granted much of the time, rarely believing that anything bad could come to something that regenerates itself. However, nearly half of all cancers come from skin cancer and melanoma. Think about this:Taking care of our skin is one of the easiest acts we can do every day of our lives. For those in our families who are younger, we can take care of their skin and model good examples of skin care. Wonderful sun protection clothing is available in infant sizes so that those who need some of the best skin protection can start their lives with...

[translation = my punishment for being distracted] I contemplate life, the universe and everything, as I watch small people at 5:15 in the morning. Wills, living wills, trusts, trustees and guardians, power of attorney – enough to make your head spin and your brain turn to mush.“If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all!” he repeats as he runs backwards. This phrase is on his ‘now playing’ list. [translation = an endless loop] I hope that this current phase, will be short lived, but you never can tell with these things, the walking backwards that is to say, not the "motor mouth." Oddly enough he rarely bumps into anything. To date we are on our fifth week of’ backwards’ and of course he...

Other slogans include United We Cure and Mission. Purpose. Cure. The slogans say a lot -- but the accomplishments of Carolyn Jones, Founder and President/CEO of Privacy, say a whole lot more.Think about this:Jones lost her mother to breast cancer on November 16, 2000 during a time when too many questions about the disease were left unanswered and not enough options were available for women fighting for their lives.Times have changed, in part due to outspoken pioneers like Jones, who are spreading the word and funding the cause.Part of the Privacy corporate goal is to support medical research and to educate women about early detection an...

There are many to choose from, and if I am to be honest, most of them are not all that attractive. However, a few of the journals have some really snappy logos that make me want to publish with them (or at least buy their shirt).
