</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have you ever learned that a friend, co-worker, neighbour, or family member who had fallen ill or was no longer able to care for themselves? In situations such as these, often our first thought is, "what can I do?" </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Very often we want to send the person something to let them know we're thinking of them. Flowers, plants or a fruit basket sometimes just don't fit the need; and what about the primary caregiver, how do you express that you care about them too? Now, with a simple click of your mouse you can send along a very special gift. </span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The celebrations are now behind us and for me that signals the time to check a few thing off my yearly "to do" list. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What I do every January, then I always remember when all these tasks are due, is make appointments for -</span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A check-up, including blood work, with my family doctor.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you see a specialist yearly, book that appointment too.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pap test and breast exam.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mammogram</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dental check-up and cleaning </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eye exam</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/10069212392695293682" target="_blank">Kathy at Oak Lawn Images suggested -</a> Might be a good time to clean out the medicine cabinet, too of outdated and no longer used medications. </span></li>
</ul><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some of these tasks are done less frequently than once a year, if so, make a note on your December 2012 calendar to book it next year. If some are more frequent than once a year, book all the appointments now.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And...keep the appointments, they won't benefit you if you don't go! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope everyone has a healthy 2012!</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All the New Years Eve celebrations are over at our house, just the remnants of our small get together left to clean up! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I always have mixed feelings surrounding New Years Day. On one hand it's the beginning of a new year, complete with all the hopes and dreams that a new beginning brings. On the other hand I feel sad that all the special excitement, family time and fun that is Christmas is now behind us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We traditionally have a big ham dinner on New Years Day, however, this year, apparently I left my ham shopping a little too late. I couldn't find a spiral cut ham anywhere, we went to Costco, Sobeys and three Superstores...all sold out :(</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, this year we're going to cozy up at home and maybe play a board game and instead of ham, this year we're having salmon and haddock...I guess that's not too bad a compromise!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Do you have a traditional dinner or activity for New Years Day? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tell me all about it, I love hearing how others celebrate special holidays!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Happy New Year and I hope everyone has a wonderful 2012!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let's all try to be a little greener in 2012 and get back to the basics by remembering the three "R's":</span><br />
<br />
<ul><li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Reduce</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Reuse</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Recycle </span></li>
</ul><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We all need to remember that we are stewards of this planet, if we don't protect it for future generations, who will?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and green 2012!</span><br />

</span></div><div></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In our house we all love words. I keep a journal of words that I love and we often play the "dictionary game". We'll take turns opening up the dictionary to a random page, putting our finger on a word, and reading the meaning. The "game" is to see who can be first to guess the correct word for the meaning. Well, now there's a "new kid in town". (see page 236)</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.sea-band.com/">Sea-Bands</a> </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">are acupressure bands that fit around your wrist, similar to a sweat band but with a pressure stud sewn inside. They are a low-cost, clinically proven, drug free alternative treatment for the control of nausea and vomiting.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br />

It brings effective relief within five minutes of being applied and can be used before or after the onset of nausea. The all-natural, drug-free, latex-free Sea-Band does not cause the side-effects often associated with anti-nausea medication such as drowsiness, disorientation, dry mouth or possible interactions with other drugs. It’s safe for pregnant women, children, and patients taking prescription medications. Packaged in a convenient carry-case, they are washable and reusable, and available a variety of colours in sizes for adults and children.</span></span><br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Several weeks ago I was asked to review </span><a href="http://www.sea-band.com/" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sea-Band</a>,<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> however, until just recently I hadn't encountered a situation where I was able to give them a proper review. As luck (or maybe in this case un-luck) would have it, last week my daughter tried them and just a couple days later, I too was able to give </span><a href="http://www.sea-band.com/" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sea-Band</a><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> a try. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">My daughter had an upset stomach and due to an allergy cannot take most anti-nausea medication. I asked if she would like to try the </span><a href="http://www.sea-band.com/" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sea-Band</a><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">, she did and in less than 10 minutes her nausea was gone, it was really quite remarkable! </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have an illness than can cause nausea and sure enough with the holidays only a couple days away I started feeling nauseated. Because of the positive affect my daughter experienced I immediately put them on and in about 5 minutes my nausea was completely gone.</span><br />
