Power of Connection

Could your soul use a little spring cleaning? MC Jenni — who was a finalist in our mom-owned business contest this winter — is holding an 18 hour course about the power of connection starting this weekend.

This course is for you if you have ever wondered if anyone is listening to you, or if you have noticed the challenge of truly hearing what others are saying to you. While most of us keep busy talking, fixing and doing, we don’t take the time to connect with what is going on inside ourselves. This course is all about Mama Time.

Course Name:
The course is called the Power of Connection — Transforming the quality of the relationships and partnerships in your life.

Course Description:
Connecting is not just a powerful skill. It will help you become a more fulfilled individual, a more caring friend, a more loving partner, a more successful parent, a more productive colleague and a more effective leader.

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

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.
