Our Bedroom

Our bedroom is not the kind of space you’d see in a Pottery Barn catalog or on HGTV. After years of transient living, and though the rightful owners of the house, my husband and I have yet to concede to a grown-up way of life by making this room our own. The walls are bare and the same off-white shade they’ve been for the last four years. Traffic passes beneath the open window, interrupting our sleep when a cool summer night becomes a warm morning commute. An addition with a new master suite awaits us with space for a Jacuzzi and views of Snowbowl, Stuart Peak and Mt. Jumbo. But for now this unassuming room is ours.

Fit for Mama: Excercise more, get sick less

Want fewer sick days? Exercise more. The American Journal of Medicine states that if you work out for 30 minutes a day, you will catch half as many colds over the course of a year. Working out gets your blood pumping, helping to fight disease and sickness. Keep your body moving and in shape to feel good year around!

Although there are benefits to getting your workout finished in the morning, an afternoon/evening session will help you sleep better. Your body shuts down faster after a workout in order to repair muscles and restore energy. Include cardio and strength training and your body temperature could lower for up to six hours post workout which many believe helps you fall
asleep. Source: Shape Magazine

savagemama: Tight fittin’ jeans

By Jennifer Savage

The other day I asked Seth if my pants looked too tight. He tilted his head to the side and told me to turn around.

I did.

“I think they are a little tight,” he said. “Really, they just look uncomfortable.”

In case you were wondering, Seth never got the “No, babe, you look great!” lesson. If I ask what he thinks about what I have on, or the way my hair looks, I better be ready for the truth. He’s honest and I love it about him even though I don’t always agree with him.

But this day, I took off my jeans searching for another pair of pants that fit a little looser, not because I valued his opinion so much, but because he was right, those jeans were uncomfortable.

Let me say that Seth is not one of those men who wants his woman to look a certain way. Well, that’s not true. If I were to wear, say, peasant looking blouses with baggy, dirty Carhardts everyday, he’d be thrilled. Add long braids and his fantasy would be complete. But my hair looks infinitely better short and, occasionally, I’d like something in my wardrobe that I cannot buy at the farm supply store, which brings me back to those uncomfortable jeans.

Ignite Missoula 2.0

Pyron Technologies is excited to be presenting Ignite Missoula v.2 on Thursday, March 4th at The Elks Lodge, 112 N. Pattee – 6:15pm-9pm.

The format of these events is fun and fast. If you had five minutes on stage what would you say? What if you only got 20 slides and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds?

Mamalode’s publisher Elke Govertsen will be speaking about:

They say it takes a village so what does it mean to be the village?
Missoula is a wiz-bang, great place to raise a family. But what do we need to do to make it even better? Elke Govertsen, publisher of Mamalode, has a few suggestions for neighbors, employers and those in charge (no, NOT the kids, although sometimes it does seem that they are in charge…)

The presentations from the first Ignite Missoula v.1 can be watched at www.ignitemissoula.com — check them out!

Ignite Missoula v.2 will be a Global Ignite event as part of Global Ignite Week, encompassing six continents, 60+ Cities, 600 Talks, 10,000+ Igniters.
