M Mothers Day Special FREE GIFT WITH ORDER
Q&A with Days of Our Lives Star Alison Sweeney Mom to Ben, 7, and Megan, 3, host of The Biggest Loser, author of The Mommy Diet, and bad-girl-turned-good on Days of Our Lives. Describe your parenting style in one word: Bythe-seat-of-my-pants. Last meal you made for your family: Ground lamb marinara with quinoa and broccoli.
Craziest thing you’ve done while sleep-deprived: I didn’t look in the mirror before going to work. Another actor on the set of Days asked, “Did you drive a motorcycle here?” When I finally looked, my hair was like Renée Zellweger’s in that scene from Bridget Jones’s Diary. Reason you’re convinced your child is a genius: Ben recently told a kid in the playground that he was going to invent a submarine that turns into an airplane when he grows up. Obviously he spoke with conviction because the only question the older child asked

500 S. Fannin • Amarillo, Texas was, “What’s the wingspan?” Last thing your child did that made you laugh: Megan does this hilarious “dance” when she likes music. No matter where we are—the mall, the grocery store—she will start totally breakin’ it down if she’s feeling the vibe. Her lack of self-consciousness cracks me up!

I Can’t Understand You When You’re Whining.
Best piece of parenting advice you ever got: To parent my first child as if I already had one. As a new mom, when your baby cries, your instinct is to rush to her immediately. But if you had to, say, soothe your imaginary 2-year-old first…well, it helped me calm down a bit.

Give it a Twist: Use strategically placed wallpaper, like on an armoire door, to take a basic piece of furniture to a whole different level. Give a changing table a vintage look by painting it a lively color and then sanding the edges to mimic wear. Natural Beauty: Create your own Hundred Acre Wood using these design tips. See the Trees: Decals are great, but don’t be afraid to accessorize with real branches. You can even make a mobile by dangling crystals from choice pieces, hung out of baby’s reach.

The New Neutral: Black may be the last color you think of for a baby’s room, but used as an accent, it’s key to creating a graphic look. The high-contrast shade will also stimulate baby’s vision since it’s one of the first colors he can actually see. Make it fun by using chalkboard paint as interactive decor that grows with your child.

Think Outside the Forest: Just because you’re doing a “natural” theme, don’t rule out non-organic fibers. You may find a plastic chair or metal mobile could perfectly support your design. Adding varying textures will give the room more visual interest. Bright Idea: Find lighting fixtures that give a nod to Mother Nature. Look for a table lamp with a wood base that showcases the grain. Bold Moves: Say so long to pastels with these graphic looks Pick Your Palette: Build your room around a piece of artwork, an area rug or a crib sheet with colors you love. Then create a cohesive look by grouping like-colored
sure to vary their scale to keep the room from being overwhelmed by competing prints. Keep it Simple: It’s easy to overdo it when mixing bold colors and patterns. Combat that by picking furniture with straight, clean lines. Also, scale back on window coverings and keep bed linens to a minimum. Skip the bed skirt and bumpers and splurge on fabulous fitted sheets.

How to make it: Print poem (below) onto white paper. Cut poem out, curving edges around the poem making it look like a cloud. On a separate blank sheet of white paper, use pencil to lightly draw a heart and the word “MOM” above it. Cut the heart and MOM out, leaving about an inch border. Glue the heart drawing and the poem onto the purple card stock. Cut around the poem and the heart drawing, leaving a small purple card stock border on each. Glue both onto light blue card stock, poem at the bottom. Have child write their name and the year on the back of the blue card stock. Put small puddles of paint onto a paper plate, one puddle of each color except white. Make a second puddle of pink and add some white to it to make an even lighter pink. You should have 5 puddles of paint (purple, light blue, red, pink, light pink). Have child dip fingertips into puddles to decorate the heart and write “MOM”.

Instant Energy Boosters
Easy ways to work some much needed rest and relaxation into your hectic life
By the time you hear your child’s early-morning stirrings, you’ve probably already worked out for 90 minutes, meditated for 30, and enjoyed a healthy, balanced breakfast, which of course included a low-fat pomegranate smoothie. Why, there’s nothing left to do besides jog happily over to your beloved offspring’s room, sweep him out of bed, and shower him with all the joyous light, wonder, and oneness you’re feeling with the universe. Stop laughing. Why are you laughing? Oh, so this sounds a tad unrealistic to you? Yeah, okay, it is. But, wow, imagine having even a fraction of this energy. It would sure beat being woken by a frantic first-grader five minutes before you need to be at the bus stop.
aside from the basics we all strive for: to eat well, sleep eight to nine hours a night, and exercise regularly. These tips can’t replace those basics, but especially on the days when you have no choice but to compromise on one or all three, they can keep your behind from dragging on the pavement. Don’t Skip Breakfast Or any other meal. “Skipping meals literally starves the body -- it’s like running the car on empty,” says Marlene Merritt, a nutritionist, practitioner of Eastern medicine, and founder of the Merritt Wellness Center in Austin. “Forty percent of your blood sugar is used for brain function, so if you’re not eating enough, you can’t think clearly, never mind doing anything else.”

2510 Paramount Blvd. • Amarillo, TX • 806.351.1752 Besides, waiting long stretches between meals means your blood sugar stays low for too long, says Merritt. That fires up your adrenal glands, which start pumping out a hormone called cortisol to bring it back up. When those glands are overworked, you feel fatigued and crave sugar and coffee, which leads to even more ups and downs. The remedy: Eat a little something every three hours. Reward Yourself “When I have things I don’t want to do, I think of how much less pressure I’ll have once it’s over. And I make a deal with myself that if I suck it up, I can have a manicure later, go shopping, or see a movie with a pal,” says Mandi Abdell, a West Palm Beach, FL, mom of six.
Aim Low Take your standards down a notch. Many moms typically set unrealistic goals, like having a sparkling kitchen or a flawlessly turned-out kid. Perfectionism is an energy suck -- so’s the guilt you feel when you fall short. Manage your expectations in the first place and you’ll have reserves when you need it, like when your child accidentally upends a jar of Indian beads. Pack Away More Protein Many women don’t get enough, says Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., a certified nutritionist who wrote The 150 Most Effective Ways to Boost Your Energy. Protein elevates your metabolic rate during the day so your energy stays up. Too little protein, especially combined with an excess of refined carbs, is a recipe for the slumps. Go nuts.

you a surprising boost. Simply being in a calmer environment saves you mental energy, says Lisa Zaslow, founder of Gotham Organizers, in New York City. “If you’re looking at a pile of things strewn around the house, your eyes are taking in that visual stimulation and your brain is processing it all,” she says. Put those scattered items into a single bin and what happens? “Your eyes just take it in as one unit,” she notes. “There’s less for your brain to focus on.” Cubbyholes and low-hanging hooks can encourage your kids to do some of the cleaning, which is a definite energy saver (for you, anyway).
