February is Heart Month~ It's your ticker

Celebrate your health, celebrate your hearth all year long, not just in February. We can do things all the time to be more aware of our health and our cardiovascular health.


Educate yourself #1 

Heart Disease

Heart disease refers to several types of heart conditions. The most common type in the United States is coronary artery disease, which can cause heart attack, severe chest pain, heart failure, and irregular heartbeat. Several factors contribute to heart disease, including genetics, high blood pressure and cholesterol, and lifestyle factors such as smoking, unhealthy diet, and lack of exercise.

Stroke

Stroke is a brain attack that occurs when blood flow to the brain becomes blocked. This can be caused either by a blood clot or by a burst blood vessel in or around the brain. Lack of blood flow during stroke can cause portions of the brain to become damaged, often beyond repair.

Cardiovascular Disease

Cardiovascular disease is a broad term for all diseases that affect the heart or blood vessels. This includes heart attack and stroke as well as conditions such as high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, and aortic aneurism.

 Never to old to learn new stuff!

We're all at risk for heart disease and stroke. However, certain groups—including African Americans, older individuals, and women—are at higher risk than others. With more than 2 million heart attacks and strokes happening every year in the United States, it's important to know the risks.

Makes: 8 servings

Views Nutrition Facts

Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen loose-pack diced hash brown potatoes with peppers and onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed, or 6 eggs, beaten
  • 1/3 cup fat-free milk
  • 1 tablespoon snipped fresh basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 ounce Italian bread shell (Boboli)
  • 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (4 ounces)
  • 2 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise and sliced
  • 1/4 cup shredded fresh basil

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat an unheated large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat over medium heat. Add potatoes and garlic. Cook and stir about 4 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
In a small bowl, stir together egg, milk, the 1 tablespoon snipped basil, the salt, and pepper. Add oil to skillet; add egg mixture. Cook, without stirring, until mixture begins to set on the bottom and around the edge. Using a large spatula, lift and fold partially cooked egg mixture so uncooked portion flows underneath. Continue cooking and folding until egg mixture is cooked through but is still glossy and moist. Remove from heat.
To assemble pizza, place the bread shell on a large baking sheet or a 12-inch pizza pan. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the bread shell. Top with cooked egg mixture, tomatoes, and the remaining cheese.
Bake about 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with the 1/4 cup shredded basil. Cut into wedges to serve.


Enjoy and take care of you only one ticker!

Share the World with your child!



How do you teach your children to be more culturally aware?
Have you even thought about it?
Even young children can start learning about kids in other countries
customs, foods, traditions that others observe.
You might begin right at home with your own culture? 
Does your family tree lead to another culture? is great great grandma from
Italy or Africa? Those members of our family can pass down wonderful
cultural traditions and family history. 
A great thing to have at home is a globe to let your children see our
world and become familar with the places that your family comes from 
or maybe a friends family. 
Another is a floor puzzle or wall map of the world, like this one
you can actually print at home and piece together

Here are some good points from the My Wonderful world website for parents


10 Ways to Give Your Kids the World
1. Geography is more than you think.
It's more than maps. Geography's about cultures and environments. It's about people shaping places and places shaping people. Geography is the framework that helps you understand the world.
2. Bring the world into your home.
Do you own a globe, maps, and a world atlas and use them to look up places in the news? Turn to the Web and check out an online atlas or a 3-D globe.
3. Check your family's knowledge.
Test your family's Global IQ. Do you and your children know the fundamentals of geography from the local to the global? (Here's a handy checklist for you to print out.) Play games that teach about the world.
4. Know what's going on.
Do you and the kids watch news programs, listen to news radio, read the newspaper? Don't forget to check kid-friendly Web news sites like BBC Newsround, Time for Kids, and National Geographic Kids News. Talk about what's going on—not just in your community but also in your state, your country, and all around the world.
5. Get out there.
Try EarthCaching or geocaching or explore a nature center near you. Visit new places—nearby towns, different neighborhoods, local and national museum exhibits, other countries—on day trips, weekends, or vacations.
6. Know where you are and where things come from.
Everything's connected. Make it a family mission to know your community—why it's where it is, how it was settled, who lives there now, and its connections to the world through business, arts, music, technology, and sports. What are the global connections in the food your family eats, the clothes you wear, the games you play, and the music you listen to?
7. Broaden your children's horizons.
Courses, research projects, and extracurricular activities expand kids' understanding of their world—as do books, magazines, videos, and games that feed their natural curiosity.
8. Support your schools.
Does your child's school have what it needs to teach about the world? Does it offer geography courses? Does it have up-to-date maps, globes, atlases, and software? (Use our school checklist to find out.) Find your local parents organization and get involved. Start a geography club.
9. Spread the word.
Contact your legislators and your school district leadership. Let them know you support increased emphasis on and funding for geography and geography-related courses. And tell your children's teachers and others about My Wonderful World.
10. Sign up for the My Wonderful World e-newsletter.
You'll get helpful tips, the latest news, links to great resources and fun games, information about contests and offers, and much more. Sign up now—and help give kids the power of global knowledge.

Check out our National Forum and local chapters, they are great resources for other moms who are from all over the world and have different cultural values.

Mommy Up your fellow mommy today!





What can you do today to "Mommy Up" another mom! Love, support, kindness, or just a simple smile to make the day of another mom who may be having a terrible day. Pass it on, its contagious and will spread from you to many, like a wildfire.

Women are the beauty of life; her heart colors every rainbow, her soul brightens an angel’s sky. A woman’s beauty is her heart, she has pride, dignity and respect and that is not to be taken away from her, she is to be respected and loved truthfully and she is not to be abused period. She is to be appreciated for the beauty shining from her heart and for her precious glow of love flowing from her soul. Never take a woman’s heart for granted for all she dreams for is unconditional love. A woman’s beauty is a love undefined. Thank you for the beauty of your heart and for making life more precious, never settle for less than your heart ~♥~ Lee Held
