Wordless Wednesday: Along Came a Duck

 Cats, Wordless Wednesday  20 Responses »

On this Wordless Wednesday I wanted to share some pictures of a new friend we have in our backyard! This female mallard duck showed up one day with a very protective male at our bird feeder. We only see the male once in a great while now, but the female comes almost every day.  Oliver clearly smells food and wants nothing more to be allowed out to attack her.  Jewel and Harley could care less about this large bird that visits our back yard.

Paying attention to details like seam placement, waistband size and silhouette are what make our pieces perfect. Each piece is designed by women, for women, so it’s made to flatter all body types. Using pop stitching on a tank to imitate a smaller waist, creating side panels on a legging to accentuate a lean shape, or adding style lines on our pants that give that perky butt look that all women crave are just some of the ways we’ve perfected our fit. And with the Trufiit Technology we’ve developed you’ll never have to worry about sizing, all of our pieces run true to size. We use the highest quality fabrics that hold your shape and fit like a glove so they stretch and move with you.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Private Selection.
All opinions are 100% mine.

When it comes to desserts, I just don’t have time to prepare anything fancy.  I end up buying something pre-made from the store that never quite looks and tastes as  good as homemade.  Whenever we get invited to dinner and are asked to bring desert we are always scrambling as to what to bring. In the fall, we usually bring an apple pie since a lot of local apple orchards around us that make delicious homemade pies that are so full of apples they are REALLY heavy.  As for the other months it’s whatever looks like it will taste the best from the grocery store.

Heart health  Omega-3s have been receiving a lot of attention over the past decade. Organizations such as the American Diabetes Association, the American Health Institute and the American Heart Association have been strongly advocating the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids on holistic health.

It’s not for lack of reason, considering the important role omega-3 fatty acids play in maintain and improving the following:

  • heart health
  • cognitive function
  • memory capabilities
  • blood sugar health
  • anti-aging benefits
  • liver health
  • balanced cholesterol levels
  • reduced inflammation
  • feelings of personal health and well-being
  • relief from symptoms associated with premenstrual system, and
  • a strengthened immune system.

Omega-3s are broken down into three main components; ALA, EPA and DHA which are found in marine sources and these forms of omega-3 fatty acids are the best absorbed by the human body. While flaxseed, hemp seed, walnuts, algae and soybean are excellent sources of ALS, and viable options for vegetarians, they do not have the same absorption rate as many aquatic based sources.

Amazing Things Only Mothers Do {An Inforgraphic}

The driving force behind Mother’s Day was Anna Jarvis, who organized observances in Grafton, W.Va., and Philadelphia on May 10, 1908. As the annual celebration became popular around the country, Jarvis asked members of Congress to set aside a day to honor mothers. She succeeded in 1914, when Congress designated the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day. Anna Jarvis would later denounce the holiday’s commercialization and spent the latter part of her life trying to remove it from the calendar.

Late Spring cleaning

Late Spring cleaning By storebukkebruse, on Flickr

When it comes to tips for spring cleaning, advice can vary from the useful to the strange. However, spring cleaning is an important part of maintaining the safety and comfort of your home. Many people use the advent of spring as an excuse to renew their house through a process of deep cleaning. If you are planning on a thorough spring cleaning of your house, here are some tips:

First, Declutter and Reorganize
Throwing away or donating the things you do not really need and straightening up problem areas, will allow you to complete your spring cleaning faster and in a much more painless fashion. Places to concentrate on include areas that you may often leave as places to stash your stuff. Be sure to check closets, pantries, cabinets, drawers, and more for unwanted clutter, and organize them as you go from room to room on your cleaning quest. By having everything in it is place before you really start on cleaning chores you will make things much easier through organization.
Make a Gathering of It!
One great tip for spring cleaning is not trying to complete all the tasks you have on your to-do list alone. You can do this by recruiting or including family members and making a day of the tasks that need to be completed. Have an incentive for them at the end of the cleaning, like a special meal, or fun event. You may also contact friends in your local area to have a pitch-in party where everyone helps to get your spring cleaning done much faster before a large meal, event, or party. Although this seems strange, many people are keen to help out if there are other friends there, and a meal or gathering at the end is promised.  Through these techniques of dividing up the labor of cleaning, you will complete your spring cleaning much faster. If you are unable to gather friends or family to help, or cannot perform the work yourself or at all, hiring a cleaning service might be a good choice to save time and ensure cleanliness.
Maintain the Clean, After
One way to make your next spring cleaning easier is to maintain the deep clean you have, after your initial spring cleaning, as long as possible. Do this by breaking your home into parts and giving them a deeper clean than other areas of your home on a rotating basis. Clean problem areas more frequently than others. When next year comes around, you will be glad you did, as your spring cleaning will be quicker, easier, and much simpler to complete.  As stated earlier, a cleaning service can help ensure everything gets clean and stays clean, especially when used routinely over time. Though they cost money, they can ensure your living spaces will be clean and will stay that way.
