Heart Matters

Normally when I reference the heart, I am speaking of the spiritual heart. Today, though, I read a story that had me considering the physical heart. I receive an excellent newsletter on digital scrapbooking by Linda Sattgast. She shared the story of her heart attack at the age of 51 here: http://www.scrappersguide.com/heart_attack.html

Years ago that story wouldn't have been a blip on my mental EKG, but now that I can see 51 up ahead, I'm taking notice. Linda wasn't overweight, inactive, or a smoker. Neither am I. I hope you will read her story and if you or someone you love has chest pain, insist on a full workup.  Better to be embarrassed than to leave your loved ones lost without you.

This Valentine's Day, take steps to guard your physical heart as well as your spiritual one!

Need a No-Shower Baby Gift?

They're not JUST for Indians any more

I know it's been a while since I've blogged.

THIS

is something I thought newsworthy enough to bring me out of hiding.

Here's the description on the website:

Pee-pee Teepee ...for the sprinkling wee wee!
"Changing a baby girl is not all glitz and glory. Changing a baby boy is even a bigger horror story. You hold his feet with one hand and change the diaper with the other, the whole time praying 'please don't pee on your mother'."
This blue camouflage Pee-pee Teepee will protect you from the danger that comes with changing a baby boy's diaper. Shaped like a cone, it is placed on top of the wee wee during the diaper change.
Each set of Pee-Pee Teepees includes five cones. They come in a drawstring bag for safe keeping. Made from 100% cotton, they are very easy to care for. Place Teepees in the drawstring bag and throw them in the wash with like colors. Machine wash warm and dry on a low setting. Makes a great baby shower gift!
