Mama Sweet: I was at the acupuncturist trying to find my own mama balance and health. It's been the best thing I could have done for myself and I recommend it to everyone! She told me that the palm of your hand is a central acupuncture point and the absolute best way to absorb your Vitamin D. She advised me to lay my palms flat up toward the sky and let the sun absorb for 15 minutes. It protects your face and absorbs this essential vitamin much more effectively. So Mamas, palms up when you're watching the kids during their sporting events and get your Vitamin D! Your body will thank you for it! Mama Sour: It is spring which means it is time for the sex-ed talk at school. In the younger grades, they talk about safety and inappropriate touching and how to be assertive in those situations. As I have mentioned before, I took a Kidpower seminar and they teach you to act out scenarios with your children so they are prepared in every situation. Their rules include: Make it light; keep it fun; don't put your fears on them. That being said, the girls and I played the stranger game in the car one day. I asked them what you say if a stranger offers you a lollipop to get in his car. The girls screamed, "No!" I ran the whole gamut of textbook questions from mama and daddy getting into an accident to petting the puppy. Then, I tried to add funny things too which brought laughter to the whole car. “What if a stranger asked you if you wanted some brussel spouts?” Then, they started asking me questions, "Mama, what if a stranger offered you a coffee to get into his car?" It was hilarious! I then took my turn to scream,” No!" It was such a great way to practice our safety rules without frightening anyone. Such a sour topic but I feel so much better that my girls are aware and prepared. I also pray they never need to test it out!
