Breast cancer 3 Day 60 Mile Walk

A few years ago I participated in the Susan G. Komen Breast cancer 3 day 60 mile walk. To participate I needed to pay or raise $2,400 or more. I had wonderful contributions from David and Bianca Lisonbee thru the foundation 4Life and from my generous husband Dave. I sold home made cake and cookies and made installments for the rest. It was a growing experience for me since I didn't have a buddy to walk with I walked alone among thousands of other people that were there for the cause. My wonderful Husband was there with the kids my parents and my brother with his kids to cheer me on.  I don't have a history of breast cancer in my family nor do I have it, but I do believe that we don't need to have a illness to be part of finding or helping find a cure. I did see many women that had lost their hair and were going thru chemo walking and I was tired walking 20 miles a day for 3 days, I admired their determination for the cause they were fighting for their own lives for. I do believe in monthly self breast exams and mammograms. Getting your yearly physicals and pap smears every year on the month of your birthday so you remember. Transfer Factor a supplement I take and my family including my children take has been a great blessing for us, www.4life.com It keeps my immune system up and ready for any virus I do get the flu but I could go years without it. Swine flu...I don't worry. I have been blessed.

Coloring Easter Eggs

I love all holidays. It gives me an excuse to be creative the the kids and have fun. As a child I loved any opportunity I had to be around creative activities at school or clubs. I remember one time in elementary school for Christmas the wreath I made in class was chosen to decorate the Christmas backdrop and everyone in class was wrapping theirs to give to their parents on Christmas, so I kidnapped mine and took it back to the class to wrap. Well this is a cute idea from Martha Stewart on coloring eggs with dual tone designs and colors. Very easy and fun.
You'll need: Egg coloring kit, vinegar, design punches, paper towels,  stick on vinyl sheet and hard boiled eggs.
