The March of Dimes mission targets the overall health of babies.

The focus includes birth defects prevention, premature birth, and infant mortality. A lot of this is accomplished by research. Research is the main way for all of those involved, including parents, physicians, and family, to learn valuable tools to implement if they do find themselves in one of these categories.

because they have a personal connection or can relate to the cause of March of Dimes.” Mitchie Kinney’s daughter was born prematurely in July 2004. “After being the Ambassador Family in 2005, the awareness we spread and the contacts we made were amazing! We received phone calls from family members of our friends that had given our number to them because they were now dealing with what we went through.” There is a unique bond that is shared between anyone who has gone through premature birth.

People who have experienced it want to be there for new parents dealing with the extreme stress of the situation. Prematurity has increased by more than 30 percent since 1981 and now affects more than 500,000 babies each year.

Nationally, March of Dimes hosts a walk known as Walk for Babies. This walk raised over $110.3 million in 2007. Hopefully, with everyone’s help, the number will be far exceeded this year.

The local Nacogdoches chapter of March for Dimes is hosting their walk Saturday, April 19, at Pecan Acres Park. Mitchie Kinney is in charge of organizing the volunteers for this event, after being the Ambassador Family three years ago. Kathy McGough said, “Just about everyone involved with this organization is here

Approximately 20,000 teams will participate in Walk for Babies nationwide, drawn from corporations, unions, schools, clubs, family teams, and other organizations. Walk for Babies takes place in 1,100 communities in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. If you have any questions, contact Mitchie Kinney at (936)560-5717 or go to marchofdimes.com.

Our local walk is not listed online since the Nacogdoches chapter it is solely volunteer base.

arch of Dimes is a large national organization that has done a great job branding their name. The name recognition is there, but unfortunately the local, community level awareness is not. There is a March of Dimes organization in East Texas just waiting for your involvement.

Fern in an Urn! An idea so simple anyone can recreate it! Do you have a space in your home that is “blah” and you have no idea what to put there? I have found that a little greenery does miracles.

I love this idea and it is so easy. Just purchase the urn (or other large container) of your choice. Next, find an artificial fern or similar plant and place it in the urn. If it the plant needs something to stabilize it, I have used newspaper as a filler in the base of the planter.

I have a before and after so you can see what a difference it makes.

Classic Black and White Pictures

The touch of a black and white photograph is so classic and timeless. This is a simple idea that you can use to fill the hallway or entry to your home. It is an easy way to make a dramatic statement. You can use old or new photos that have been matted with a white mat and a simple black frame. The frames don’t have to all match perfectly (just make sure they are all the same color). If you have a color photo, you will want to either scan it into your computer and change the color digitally or use the Kodak kiosk at your local photo department. Once they are framed, place them on the wall 2 to 3 inches apart. There is no wrong way! Have fun and keep adding picture when you want. If you get the amount you want to keep, simply update older pictures with the new ones.

Table Top Photography Display I love it when things are displayed as a grouping. I have a collection of pictures in beautiful enameled and jeweled picture frames. They are my absolute favorite. The frames are very dramatic and display beautifully.

Do your treasured family photos justice by displaying them in a grouping of beautiful frames on a table top or bedside table.

Shower Curtains ...not Windows!

Jazz up a Lamp

I was having the hardest time finding a shower curtain I liked.

I searched the internet and every store I could think of. I had in my mind what I wanted but could NOT find it , until one day I was in a local “Big� discount store and found the most beautiful velvet drapery panels. I bought them and quickly took them home to see if my brainstorm worked! Much to my delight, it did!!! I used two shower rods and two drapery panels. One rod is for the plastic shower curtain and the other is for the panels. I was very happy with the outcome. Shower curtains are hard to find and sometimes pricey.

I bought two Velvet panels for less than $20.00.

This is an easy decorating tip! I have many lamps in my home and am always trying to think of ways to make them more interesting.

I decorated this lamp at Christmas with a beaded garland I found at Hobby Lobby. I cut the garland to the length I wanted. I wrapped the garland around the neck of the lamp leaving some slack.

I like it so much I decided to keep it.

Do you have a great idea in your home?

JANE WELBORN from Lufkin showed us this great idea‌She simply bought an antique picture frame and took off all the frame backing. Then she used the frame as a centerpiece for the mirror in her guest bath.

elieve me, as a working mom I know how hectic life can be and understand that although you really want your family to eat right and live a healthier life, making that a reality can be tough.

Whether you’re a mom, dad, grandparent, or neighbor, we each play a role in modeling healthy habits for our children. To make the task a little easier, each month I will share some tips and tools brought to light in the “Ask Amy” emails I receive. It is my hope these answers are of benefit to you and your family - I’m here to help.

And remember, you don’t have to overhaul your habits overnight.

Living a healthy lifestyle means taking it one step at a time.

Well Wishes!

Amy

Q: I seem to catch every little bug that goes around. I have a four-year-

old daughter that attends preschool. I have never had such a hard time kicking this type of illness. Can you recommend a diet that will help boost my immune system? Thanks!

A: I know from experience how challenging it can be to focus on your health while trying to balance work and family demands. There are three lifestyle factors to address when it comes to boosting your immune system: diet, exercise, and sleep.

Amy McLeod, RD, LD is Director of Food and Nutrition Services at Woodland Heights Medical Center where she oversees clinical nutrition and patient and visitor dining.

Previously Ms. McLeod operated a nutrition consulting practice for physician offices, dialysis and longterm care. Amy holds degrees from the University of Texas at Austin and Stephen F. Austin State University.

Her volunteer work includes serving as board member for the Texas State Board of Examiners of Dietitians, as State Media Representative for the Texas Dietetic Association, and locally on the School Health Advisory Committee for Lufkin Independent School District and the Vision 20/20 Healthcare Task Force for the Angelina County Chamber of Commerce. Amy and her husband Jim have two active boys, Charles, eight, and J.B., four.

THE JOURNEY April 2008

• Focus on consuming 3-5 nutrient rich fruits and vegetables per day. The brighter the color, the more nutrient dense the fruit or vegetable will be.

• Include protein with each meal. Lean meat, fish, poultry and eggs are all good sources of protein. Include one or two ounces at breakfast and 3-4 ounces with lunch and dinner to provide you with plenty of immune boosting antibodies that help fight illness and disease.

• Reduce or eliminate sources of refined carbohydrate such as sodas, sugary snacks, chips and sweets. Some research indicates that excessive intakes of refined carbohydrates such as regular sodas and sweets depress the immune system, making you more susceptible to illness. Instead, choose whole grains and 100% wholewheat bread, cereal, rice and pasta.

• Include healthy monounsaturated fats such as olive and canola oil and vegetable oil spreads in your diet.

• Include a multi-vitamin for days you know you won’t be able to include those 3-5 fruits and veggies.

• Drink plenty of water. Many people feel run down when all they need to is reach for some H20!

• Include some form of exercise for at least 30 minutes, three times per week. Exercise helps to reduce stress levels, improves circulation and will help you sleep better at night.

• Get adequate sleep, which experts say is about eight hours. You’ll feel more refreshed and have more energy to accomplish your goals. Decide to work on just one issue per week and you’ll be well on your way to an improved immune system.

Q: I know my kids should be eating more vegetables, but it is so hard to put into practice on a daily basis. If you have any tips to help, I would appreciate it!

A: Kids like having control. That’s why it’s important to present them with choices when it comes to eating better. For example, rather than tell your kids, “Try some broccoli with your dinner,” ask them to choose between two different vegetables by saying, “Would you like broccoli or carrots for dinner?” You may find they will choose a vegetable when given the opportunity.

Another idea is to take your child with you shopping. Although I know it can be a hassle, getting them involved in selecting healthier foods will give them a greater “buy-in” to try the food. You might even make it fun saying, “let’s try out a new vegetable – you pick.” Get your child involved by having them help you prepare dinner. I have found this to be a great way to get even the finicky eater to try something new.

Amy would love to answer any questions you may have regarding health and nutrition.

Microwave Moms:

The Secret Ingredient for Well-Balanced Meals

Considering today’s

demands of work and after-school activities, creating a weeknight dinner from scratch is not always realistic.

Many parents are too busy to make dinner, but feel guilty for not providing their children with a hearty, home-cooked meal.

“When prepared properly, a meal made in 15 minutes can be just as enjoyable as one that takes hours,” said Joan Hanson, test kitchen director of Hormel Foods. “With more convenient meal options available today, families can spend more time together and less time in the kitchen, without sacrificing the meal’s flavor.”

Hanson offers the following tips on how to make dinnertime less daunting.

Add a Gourmet Touch

Turn any meal gourmet with a surprise twist on the core items. For a fresh spinach salad, add mandarin oranges and sprinkle in some microwave-ready bacon for a protein punch.

Embrace the Center of the Plate

It’s possible to honor the main course, or center of the plate, and still save time by preparing your side items from scratch. For a hearty meal, ready in minutes, serve a satisfying, microwave-friendly meat product, such as beef tips & gravy over cooked egg noodles and pair with a green salad.

Be Creative with the Everyday

Give regular sandwiches a delicious makeover by first microwaving HORMEL® Beef Roast Au Jus, which can go from the refrigerator to the table in four minutes. Pile the meat high on a toasted French baguette. Dip the sandwich in savory au jus and accompany with French fries and fresh fruit for a complete meal.

Take Comfort in Dinner

Whether it’s a crisp evening or the family just had a long day, comfort foods often warm the body and the soul. Next time the family is in need of an uplifting meal, heat microwavable, fully-cooked meatloaf and gravy for the family to enjoy. Serve with mashed potatoes and buttered broccoli spears for a delicious dinner in minutes.

Inspiring Woman Jennifer Wade

Elliott & Evan Just about every pregnant woman carries a feeling of uncertainty during her pregnancy: she hears stories about other pregnancies, every appointment with her obstetrician seems to be running a different type of test or check on the baby’s health, and there is almost always a concern about circumstances that can cause complications to the pregnancy.

Jennifer Wade is no different.

Jennifer had a hard time conceiving a child. She went through many levels of medication trying to get pregnant.

Finally, she decided to try In-Vitro Fertilization. When her Ob-Gyn told her the IVF was successful, he also let her know she was expecting twins. Jennifer was ecstatic to hear the news. This was something she waited for a very long time.

When carrying multiples, a woman is automatically watched more closely by her doctor. At 18 weeks, she was put on bed rest due to a thinning cervix. Then at 24 weeks and 4 days, her water broke. “My sister is a nurse at Memorial Hospital in Lufkin, so I immediately called her. I planned on using that hospital because she works in Henderson Women’s Center.” Jennifer rushed to Memorial Hospital. Once she was there, the nurses took care of her. Forty-five minutes later, she had a placental abruption and was rushed to Houston. A placental abruption occurs when the placenta separates from the uterus and it can deprive oxygen to the baby. When she arrived in Houston, the doctors went ahead and performed an emergency C-section.

Evan

On April 10, 2006, Jennifer gave birth to a baby girl named Elliott and a baby boy named Evan. Jennifer stayed in the hospital for five days before she was able to be released. The babies were in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)

and she did not know how long it would be before they would be able to come home. Life is very difficult for premature babies when they enter this world. The babies have to endure many obstacles to ensure their safety while they grow in size, strength, and health. In addition, the mother and father and family experience a tremendous amount of anxiety and stress while they wait for their babies to come home.

Elliott was released at two and a half months on July 3. The family stayed in a furnished apartment in Houston while they waited for Evan to be released.

“It was a difficult place to be because I couldn’t be with Evan all the time,” Jennifer said. “The nurses would help me as much as possible. They would go hold him on their breaks so someone was holding him a lot. Since they were the smallest babies in there, they had a lot of attention.” The whole time both the babies were in the hospital, Jennifer kept a journal of everything that occurred as

they progressed including what happened that day, the changes in feedings, and strides that were made. This helped her to see that the babies were making progress.

Jennifer remembers the first feeding.

“They ate 2ml through their feeding tube.

This was about 30 drops of milk and was a 3 hour feeding.” When Evan was four months old, on August 7, he was able to come home.

Once the family they came home, they had to create and adjust to their new routine.

The babies were growing and healthy.

Then there was a tragic accident. When Evan was seven months old, Jennifer rushed home from work to the horrific news that Evan died in his sleep during a nap.

This life altering event is something she is still trying to cope with on a daily basis.

Most of us can’t begin to imagine how difficult it would be to lose a child. The grieving process is difficult to go through, but Jennifer wants to go there because she

is able to share Evan’s life. “This is still a nightmare for me and I relive it everyday.

A part of me died the day Evan died. From here on out, nothing will hurt this bad. It helps me put everything else and all other problems into perspective,” says Jennifer Wade.

This year, March of Dimes of Nacogdoches asked Jennifer to be the Ambassador family for their March for Babies walk. The walk will be in memory of and celebration for Evan and Elliott. Their little lives raise awareness, hope, strength, and courage for all families. The events this family has endured were not what they planned for, and that is what the March of Dimes is about. Their mission is to raise funds for research about premature birth, to make monies available to women dealing with premature births, and more.

One could wonder how any person manages to get out of bed every morning and continue on after such a tragedy, let alone be the spokesperson for a huge

event. People not going through the tragedy themselves struggle with how to approach anyone dealing with such a loss? When you ask Jennifer these questions she says, “One of the hardest things I had to and still have to deal with is not hearing from some of my friends. It hurts me not to have those people around me that I need to hear from the most. But on the flip side, some people have just been there for him and me that I am amazed to see. At Evan’s funeral, seven of his nurses came and that meant so much to me.” When you ask her about being the March of Dimes of Nacogdoches Ambassador Family, she explains, “I wanted to do this for Evan. Of course, I would not want to be here and I wish no one would ever have to go through this. But this is my opportunity to let everyone know who Evan was, that he existed. He changed my life and I want other people to hear about and know him, too.”

Krista, Jennifer’s sister, says, “Jennifer is the strongest, most amazing woman I know.” Krista, who works in Labor and Delivery, says, “I do this everyday. I have done countless numbers of emergency C-sections, but it is completely different when you are on the other side of the blue drape. You seem to lose it all when it is your own family.” She goes on to say, “Jennifer seemed to be the strong one during it all. She was the one encouraging the rest of us.” Like many sisters, they have a wonderful bond and are very close. “I hope that I can be at least half the mother she is,” said Krista.

This story is everyone’s worst nightmare. It is one that no one hopes anyone will ever have to go through. Jennifer is proud to be Elliott and Evan’s mother. “Even in the bad times I am happy because Elliott is still here and I am her mom.”

Jennifer says, “Don’t take things for granted. Your health, how much time you think you might have, you just never know. Love your children. Hug your children. Because you just never know.” * If you would like to walk in honor of Evan, make a donation, or get involved with March of Dimes, contact Mitchie Kinney at (936)560-5717.

What is The

Credit Union Difference?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

n

ew federal laws and regulations are changing the face of the financial services industry. In this time of accelerating change, it is important to truly understand how credit unions are unique and different, and why they remain a necessary and extremely popular financial alternative for 82 million Americans.

What is a credit union?

Credit unions are member-owned, not-for-profit financial cooperatives.

Credit unions were formed to permit individuals within their field of membership to pool their savings, lend to one another, and own the organization where they save, borrow and obtain financial services. Credit unions exist solely to serve their members - not to make a profit. Unlike other financial institutions, credit unions do not issue stock or pay dividends to outside stockholders. Instead, earnings are returned to their members in the form of lower rates on loan products, higher rates on deposit products and lower fees.

Who owns a credit union?

The members do. Credit unions are an economic democracy. Each credit union member has equal ownership and one vote – regardless of how much money they have on deposit. Because credit unions are democratic, members have the power to direct credit union policy.

Who runs a credit union?

What is a credit union’s purpose?

The philosophy of People Helping People has been the foundation of the credit union movement since its inception. Credit unions exist to help people, not make a profit. Our goal is to serve all our members well – including those of modest means. Every member counts. For this reason, our members are fiercely loyal. They know their credit union will be there for them in good times as well as bad. This same people-first philosophy causes credit unions to be viable community partners with strong involvement in charitable activities and worthwhile causes.

What services do credit unions offer?

Credit unions are full-service financial institutions with the ability to offer a wide range of services all designed to help meet your financial needs for saving and borrowing. Whether you need a consumer or mortgage loan, checking account, or credit card, a credit union can assist you - and with the best rates around.

Credit unions also assist members to become better educated consumers of financial services. The Credit Union National Association, Inc. (CUNA) has partnered with the National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE), a non-profit foundation, to expand financial education among high school students. Financial literacy information is available FREE of charge in various formats to schools and community organizations.

Each credit union is governed by a board of directors, elected by and from the credit union’s Is my money safe? membership. Board members serve voluntarily and Absolutely. Credit unions are supervised by the receive no compensation for time committed.

Relationships

The

Golden Rule in Marriage

Remember the Golden Rule…

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

What if you were to treat your spouse as you would like to be treated? How different would your marriage be? Many couples are caught in a cycle – if he would then I would, if she would then I would. The cycle has the possibility of being stopped when one of them starts doing what is right no matter what the other spouse does.

What are some ways that you would like to be treated?

•

I would like to be listened to and responded to in a way that helps me to feel significant. Have you ever felt like you are talking to the wall? You know it is true because when you finish sharing your thought there is absolutely no response, or the response is totally different than the thought you had been sharing. You are effectively listening when you are able to repeat back to the person sharing what was just said – and look them in the eye when talking.

•

I would like help when cleaning the table after a meal. This would allow more time for us to do things as a couple. I could even have time to help with the yard duties if I had help with the household chores.

•

I would like to be told that I look pretty. It is the desire of every woman to be told by the man in her life that she looks good to him rather than to only hear that from the man she works with.

A woman usually dresses to please the man in her life. If she never gets a positive response from him, she will look for it from someone who will give it to her.

•

I would like an open and honest relationship with my husband.

I don’t want to feel that I have to walk around on eggshells all the time for fear that I am going to say or do something wrong.

I don’t want there to be any secrets or deception. Sometimes honesty hurts, but later it can to be dealt with.

I realize that if I want to be treated kindly in these ways, I should first of all treat my spouse in these ways: •

I should make it a practice to listen to my husband and not give my opinion on how he should have handled a matter differently. I should always work to show him respect – even when I may not agree with him.

•

If I want help with my household chores, I need to be willing to offer my help with the outside chores. I can’t do it all, and neither can he.

•

As it is my desire to be told “You look good”, it is my man’s desire to be told “You are the greatest!”

•

How can I expect openness if I am not open myself? A man needs a woman he can turn his back on, trust with his money, and from whom he can seek selfless counsel. When I offer that type of relationship in the marriage, it will bring great return.

I hope you will take the time to reflect on: “Am I treating my spouse in the way that I would like to be treated?”

Fun Family Gardening Gardening With Charlie

G

ardening is a great way for kids to get exercise, spend time outdoors, and learn about the environment, food, and wildlife. However, many kids grow up today without the benefit of having a gardening or farming background and access to free play outdoors. They often don’t know what to do in a garden. That’s where parents and grandparents come in. Adults can help kids learn about growing plants in a fun and engaging way.

Plus, it will be a special time together outdoors, exploring the land, food, and flowers.

Make a Plant Car Wash Kids love water and they really love squirting things and each other with it. Here’s a way to teach kids about safe insect control while having a little fun, too. Make a naturally safe insect spray by dissolving 3 tablespoons of soap flakes or liquid soap in a gallon of water. Use a non-detergent product such as Murphy’s Oil soap. Add the mixture to a plastic spray bottle. Let the kids set up an assembly line of container plants to spray. Teach them how to identify bad bugs and spray the leaves effectively.

But what if you don’t know where to start in the garden? What should you do with your kids so they won’t be bored, but you won’t be in over your head? Here are some simple activities that will inspire your kids and keep them interested in the natural world.

Hold a Vine Race Kids love races. Remember frog-jumping races when you were a kid? Why not hold a plant race to see what vine reaches the finish line first. Fill some large containers with soil and let your child choose some kid-friendly vining plants such as pole beans, ‘Sugar Snap’ peas, climbing nasturtiums, and black-eyed Susan vines (Thunbergia). Run a string from the containers to the bottom of an overhang, ceiling, or beam about 6 feet away. Then get ready, plant your seeds, and go! Water and fertilize each container the same and have your kids mark intervals along the string to see who’s winning after the first quarter, halftime, and 3rd quarter. The winner gets a prize -- free pole beans and peas to eat!

Create Funky Plant Containers It’s said that plants can grow just about anywhere. Instead of the standard clay or plastic pots, let your kids choose fun and funky containers to grow plants in. All you need is containers that are big enough and sturdy enough to hold soil and a plant, plus they need to have some water drainage holes. Some cool container ideas are an old toy (such as a large dump truck), a wagon, empty food container, basketball cut in half, old shoe, or old hat. Kids will get a kick out of plants growing in weird places, and you can teach them about what it takes to keep container plants healthy.

Spring Cleaning

It’s that time of year again, time to drag the heavy coats and sweaters out of the closet and start clearing out the dust bunnies.

If you have trouble getting motivated to tackle all of the spring cleaning chores on your list, here are a few ideas to get you started.

Shine Your Sink

According to Marla Cilley, a.k.a. FlyLady of www.FlyLady.net, shining your sink is the very first household chore you should tackle. She says that doing this simple task gives you a sense of accomplishment and that seeing the clean and shiny sink will inspire you to make the rest of your home sparkle! Here is an adaptation of her method for shining your sink.

1. Fill the sink to the rim with very hot water; add one cup of bleach and let it soak for one hour.

2. Drain and rinse very well.

3. Scrub sink with a cleaner such as Comet, Ajax, or even baking soda.

4. Once again, rinse very well to avoid mixing any cleaners.

5. Shine with Windex or a similar glass cleaning spray and dry thoroughly.

FlyLady.net is my favorite website for housecleaning ideas and tips and best of all, it is completely free!

De Cluttering 101 Also adapted from www.FlyLady.net

Get started with three boxes or bins labeled, “Give Away”, “Throw Away”, and “Put Away”.

When the “Give Away” box gets full, go put it in your car and drop it off at your favorite local charity the next time you are out. When the “Throw Away” box gets full, go throw it away! Carry the “Put Away” box with you throughout the house putting all of the items where they belong.

To make it easier to decide what to de-clutter, ask yourself these questions as you go: • Do I love this item?

• Have I used it in the past year?

• Is it really garbage?

• Do I have another one that is better?

• Should I really keep two?

• Does it have sentimental value that causes me to love it?

• Or does it give me guilt and make me sad when I see the item?

Expandable Peg Rack Hang a simple and inexpensive peg rack in your closet to quickly hang items such as belts, ties, and hats. These items remain visible but still look neat hanging on the pegs. The rack is expandable so that you can fit in a variety of spaces.

Maximize Closet Space Installing a closet organizing system, such as this one made

by ClosetMaid, can easily triple the amount of space in your closet. They are relatively simple to install and affordable enough that you can put one in every closet in your home.

Closet organizers can be purchased at most home improvement stores such as Lowe’s and Home Depot, but can also be found at Walmart and Target.

Given that I was diagnosed with heart disease at age 39, it is critical for me to eat a low-fat diet, get regular exercise, and take my prescribed heart medication.

I now understand that having high cholesterol is what led to my heart disease.

To women, I say pay attention to your body, don’t just ignore the symptoms, empower yourself with knowledge—insist on proper cardiac care.

There is something about life stories that make you act. Hopefully, you can learn and act from Erin’s story. The key regardless to everything, health, finances, parenting, is to be proactive. As women, we carry the world on our shoulders.

Who are we helping if we are not going to take care of ourselves?

What is your risk? Answer these short questions: • Do you smoke?

•

Is your blood pressure 140/90 mmHg or higher, OR have you been told by your doctor that your blood pressure is too high?

•

Has your father or brother had a heart attack before age 55, OR has your mother or sister had one before age 65?

•

Do you have diabetes OR a fasting blood sugar of 126 mg/dL or higher, OR do you need medicine to control your blood sugar?

•

Are you over 55 years old?

•

Do you have a body mass index (BMI) score of 25 or more?

•

Do you get less than a total of 30 minutes of physical activity on most days?

•

Has a doctor told you that you have angina (chest pains),

•

OR have you had a heart attack?

If you answered ”yes” to any of these questions, you’re at an increased risk of having a heart attack.
