Excellent advice both within the article and by "Kier"! I think that it definitely takes that DAILY commitment to those "I do's"! For us, we also try to connect during the day. Even if it is just a five minute conversation, it enables us to maintain and strengthen our bond a little more. TFS!

My husband and I have been

My husband and I have been through some rough times in the past. Whats helped us is finding things we can do together. Even if its just reading a book together, listening to a book on tape, and so on, at night after the kids go to bed. I think also keeping in mind that it takes work, and that committing to live your life with someone else is a choice that you need to make every day... some days more than others ;)

Even more yumminess!!

I don't know that any of

I don't know that any of these shock me as much as I'm glad that some of them are being passed. Especially the one in Colorado about the head injury. I thought this article as a whole was interesting because my oldest a few years ago looked up odd laws on the books. And in WA State it is apparently illegal to sell meat on Sundays or carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket. But if you want to carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket any other day of the week feel free. LOL

Good grief! You can't trust

Good grief! You can't trust anyone not be be deceptive. I hope most stores have enough integrity and respect for their customers to not sell expired products.

This is another one of those

This is another one of those "Why couldn't *I* think of that!?" ideas! Kudos though to both the founder AND even more so to the teachers supplementing their income (to the point of retirement! $700,000 is amazing!) I love the ideas and believe that in the end the kids will be the benefactors of all this creativity which can't be a bad thing! Thanks for sharing!

U.S. preterm births hit new low - still work to do!

The March of Dimes just released the 2012 Premature Birth Report Card. The U.S. has hit a new 10 year low for preterm births -- a significant improvement now registering at 11.7%! Still, overall, the U.S. scores a "C" as we continue to have a high rate of preterm births comparatively. This is a clear indication of work to be done!

Making time to grieve.

Pregnancy and infant loss is never easy. The passing often takes with it shattered hearts and dreams of a future far different than the reality. Having to go through this process while still being called on to serve others -- whether that role is bearing work responsibilities, as "mom" for other children, coping with deteriorating health of parents or in-laws, or simply juggling your relationship with your partner -- 'overwhelming' doesn't even come close.
