president Obama is said to read ten letters from the public each day. I really hope he reads mine today, but I invite you to send one, too, increasing the odds that gun violence and control stays top of mind, all day, every day, until we see progress.

Here’s the letter I sent president Obama. feel free to copy and paste into this online form at WhiteHouse.gov:

Dear Mr. President,

In January you were as disgusted by our nation’s lack of gun control as I am. I had high hopes when I listened to your speech on the gun violence epidemic in America and was so excited about your executive actions for gun control. but it’s been almost six months and nothing has been passed. Ikke noget. and while the bills are stuck in Congress, people are killing each other.

What happened in Orlando that ended with 50 people dead might have been prevented if your gun laws were in place–especially the banning of automatic rifles like the one used by the terrorist. Your automobile analogy on how the industry made major changes to lower car deaths was brilliant, but we need more than analogies from you on this.

Please don’t leave the White house without leaving a positive impact on gun control. because it is not enough to be upset about another mass shooting. Something must be done. Please use these last few months in office to set up the necessary barriers to keep guns out of the hands of possible killers.

Sincerely,
Whitney Moss

This is my friend Victoria’s nephew, Noah. He was killed in the Sandy Hook shooting.

I didn’t obsess over my words in these letters. I copied much of what a friend had already written. This is urgent. I wanted to get it done.

Here’s the letter I sent Vice president Joe Biden. Again, use my words if it helps you get the job done. same form:

Dear Vice President,

I’m writing to request that you don’t stop thinking about Orlando. about Sandy Hook. Virginia Tech. about our gun problem in America.

As the point person for enacting Obama’s gun control initiatives in January, you are the person to whom we are looking for answers. We have all been waiting to see the outcome of that speech put into action. and we see nothing.

Please don’t make me fear sending my children to school thinking they could be shot, or fear that my friends and family members could enter a restaurant, get on a train, or simply live their lives and be held hostage by someone with too easy access to a gun.

Please continue to be vigilant on this issue for the remainder of your term; you’re on the right side of history, and I’m with you!

Whitney Moss

This is Luis Vielma, killed in Orlando.

Here’s the letter I sent attorney general Loretta Lynch via the Justice department website:

AG Lynch,

Please ensure that president Obama’s gun control policies that he discussed in January are enacted and institutionalized in real, lasting ways. It has been almost six months and during that time thousands have been killed due to gun violence. Last week’s terrifying shooting in Orlando is a rallying cry for this issue. Please make this hate-filled Orlando shooting the last one we have to read about. You said your goal is to position the Dept. of Justice to carry on in all these issues long after you and your team have moved on. Well, part of that goal is to make sure gun control issues pass. We, the people, support you and plead with you to make gun control a priority.

Sincerely,
Whitney Moss

I am a member of a Facebook group called Suffragette Sundays, a group of Bay area women who get together and actually DO SOMETHING to activate on feminist and political issues on a regular basis. The group shares tools just like these letters, coordinates letter writing parties, phone banking sessions, and more. It’s a mom-friendly place and you are welcome to jump in!

https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.jsBullying is a big problem in us schools today.  children that are bullied suffer emotionally and are more likely to develop low self esteem and depression.  experts believe that the younger the children are when bullying prevention is taught, the better.  Teaching  younger children about bullying prevention, as well about the social/emotional skills is important to the development of “emotional intelligence,” which lays a foundation that promotes the capability for empathy, which can grow throughout their school years.

“Many children experience the beginnings of bullying behavior for the first time while in daycare, preschool, or kindergarten,” explains Karen Goldberg, a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in working with parents and children, including adolescents. “The groundwork for how to deal with and prevent bullying behavior is laid early on. The sooner children are given tools for preventing bullying, the more effective they will be.”

Peter J. Goodman,  is an author,  who has been working with Goldberg toward creating tools to teach young children, usually between preschool to around the third grade. His new book, “We’re All different but We’re All Kitty Cats” (dreamBIG Press, 2012),  teaches children about accepting differences, bullying awareness and prevention and empathy. “The research shows that bullying can begin as early as three years old,” added Peter Goodman. “If it’s not addressed at that age, it will likely worsen in terms of intensity and effects as children grow up. The sooner we address the issue, the better off everyone will be, even the children who may do the bullying.”

“We’re all different But, We’re All Kitty Cats, first Day of School,” is about a young cat named Carlos.  On the first day of school the teacher asks all the kitty cats to share two things about themselves.  When it  is Carlos’ turn he says that he likes to read books and he has no fur. some of the other kitty cats in class laugh at Carlos and tease him about not having any fur. two other kitty cats stand up to the bully and walk with Carlos all the way home. At home Carlos’ mother tells him that he is special and that every kitty cat in his class is different but they are all kitty cats. Carlos returns to school the next day feeling better about himself and his differences.

My three-year-old son enjoyed this story.  “We are all different but We’re All Kitty Cats, first Day of School,” would make a wonderful addition to any home or school library.  You can purchase this book online at Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble Booksellers. DreamBig press will donate a portion of the proceeds from book sales to support Pacer’s National  Bullying Prevention Center. You can also learn more about the book at www.kittycatsbook.com.

Ordet har været ude i et stykke tid, at mangel på søvn kan rod med vægttab og vægthåndtering, men få dette: Ifølge en lille undersøgelse, der er offentliggjort i Annals of Internal Medicine,, da diæter i undersøgelsen fik en hel nats søvn, de Mistede den samme mængde vægt som da de sov mindre. Da diætere fik passende søvn, var meget mere end halvdelen af ​​den vægt, de tabte, fedt. Da de skar ned på deres søvn, kom kun en fjerdedel af deres vægttab fra fedt.

Deltagerne blev anbragt på en individualiseret, afbalanceret diæt, med kalorier begrænset til 90% af det, som hver person havde brug for for at bevare sin vægt uden træning. Hver deltager blev undersøgt to gange: en gang i 14 dage i laboratoriet med en periode på 8,5 timer afsat til søvn og en gang i 14 dage med kun 5,5 timer til søvn. At skære ned på søvnen ser ud til at kompromittere bestræbelserne på at tabe fedt gennem slankekure.

At få passende søvn hjalp også med at kontrollere diæternes sult. Da søvnen var begrænset, producerede diætere højere niveauer af ghrelin, et hormon, der udløser sult og reducerer energiforbruget. Højere ghrelinniveauer har vist sig at minimere energiforbruget, stimulere sult og fødeindtag og fremme fastholdelse af fedt.

Bortset fra mangel på søvn, fortæller det også, at du ved ikke at spise efter et bestemt tidspunkt om natten taber sig. Det er dog ikke nødvendigvis den tidsafskæring, der vil slippe af med pund. Kalorier tæller. Uanset om du spiser dem kl. 9 eller kl. 21, er en kalorie stadig en kalorie. Men hvis du giver dig selv færre tyggetimer, vil du sandsynligvis tage færre kalorier og have meget mere aktive timer på at forbrænde dem. Dette er især nyttigt for snackere om aftenen, der når frem til chips og cookies sent på aftenen. Hvis dette lyder velkendt, kan en afskæringstid til at spise være nyttigt for dig.

Relateret en sund teknik til snacking

En nylig global undersøgelse af verdensomspændende søvnmønstre fra Philips Center for Health and Well-Being viser, at amerikanere er nogle af de mest søvnmangel i verden. Så hvad kan du gøre ved det? Nu er din chance for at lære, hvilke fødevarer du skal spise, og hvilke du skal undgå for en god nats søvn.

Skal du nå ud til tryptophan-rige fødevarer? Hormonserotoninet er et afgørende aspekt ved at udløse søvn. I betragtning af at vores nerveceller bruger aminosyre-tryptophan til at fremstille serotonin, er der blevet meget opmærksomhed på rollen som tryptophan (og tryptophan-holdige fødevarer) til fremme af søvn. Undersøgelser af Tryptophans indflydelse på søvn har fundet, at det kun er en fase af søvn – den faldende i søvndel – der forbedres af Tryptophan. Andre aspekter af søvn, såsom mængden af ​​dyb-søvn nået i løbet af natten, kan faktisk blive skadet af supplerende tryptophan.

Mange dyrefødevarer er relativt høje i tryptophan og lyder måske som logiske kandidater til forbedring af søvn. Imidlertid er disse samme dyrefødevarer også temmelig høje i andre aminosyrer (som tyrosin), der kunne bruges til at producere andre stoffer (som adrenalin), der normalt ville falde med søvnens begyndelse. Kort sagt anbefales det ikke at prøve at øge dit serotonin ved at øge dit aftenindtag af højtryptophan-fødevarer som en måde at forbedre din søvn på.

Vores serotoninniveauer reagerer imidlertid på andre aspekter af vores diæt, og et af disse aspekter er kulhydratindtag. At spise fødevarer højere i kulhydrater hæver vores blodinsulinniveau. Dette skyldes, at kulhydrater fordøjes relativt hurtigt og hæver vores blodsukkerniveau meget hurtigere end proteiner eller fedt. along with this boosted insulin level there is an boosted transport of amino acids into our brain, including tryptophan. a lot more brain tryptophan leads to a lot more brain production of serotonin and boosted probability of sleep onset.

Put down the burger and chips!Sometimes we rationalize and think that a big meal will actually help us get to sleep by exhausting our body and having it slow down from exhaustion as it tries to digest the large meal. It’s tempting logic, but research evidence points in the opposite direction. A large meal does the opposite of slowing our body down. It asks our circulatory system to step a lot more blood to our digestive tract. It asks our stomach to secrete a lot more gastric acid.Det beder vores bugspytkirtel om at blive meget mere aktive og producere fordøjelsesenzymer. Kort sagt, et stort måltid gør alt andet end at sparke os tilbage. Forskning viser også, at folk, der ofte spiser fødevarer med fedtfattigt, ikke kun får vægt, de oplever også en forstyrrelse af deres søvncyklusser.

Pas på skjult koffeinit er ikke overraskende om, at en aftenkop kaffe kan forstyrre din søvn. Selv moderat koffein kan forårsage søvnforstyrrelser, men glem ikke mindre tydelige koffeinkilder, som chokolade, cola, te og koffeinfri kaffe. For bedre søvn skal du skære ned på dit koffeinforbrug og undgå koffein i timerne før du går i seng.

Med hensyn til søvn, hvis du skal spise en snack 1-2 timer før sengetid, ville en lille kulhydratbaseret snack, der inkluderer noget protein og noget fedt, give mest mening. Snacks for at få dig til at snoozing kan omfatte: 100% fuldkornscraskere med et skum af mandelsmør.

“God does not have problems, only plans,” were the words Corrie ten grow said when a clerical error allowed her to be released from a Nazi concentration camp one week before all women prisoners her age were executed. After her release from the horror of the Ravensbruck concentration camp, Corrie continued to live a life of faith with a amazing reliance on God. This was the same faith and strength that her family had, when they hid Jews from Nazi terror in their home in Haarlem, Holland. during world war II, her family home became a place of refuge, a hiding place, for Jew’s and those being hunted down by the Nazi army.

How Can We remain Focused in Faith?

When I was new in this walk of faith, I was drawn to read the words of Corrie ten Boom. With amazement I concerned love and admire the inner strength and faith of this woman. I wanted to have a small portion of what she seemed to have within her. I wanted to learn much more about the heart of the woman who gave herself wholly into the hands of her Saviour. Her chilling and horrendous situations make my trials miniscule in comparison. how can we have delight in the midst of our circumstances?

Then I think about a smuggled Bible, that became a source of blessing and strength for Corrie while incarcerated. This Bible that she miraculously hid, was used to hold worship services and numerous women concerned know the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour. Yes, Corrie had her eyes focused on the Lord and not on the situations around her. remember when Peter looked at situations rather than focusing his eyes on Christ?

And he said, Come. and when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. but when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. and immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? (Matthew 14: 29-31)

We cannot keep one eye on Christ and one eye on the situations around us. We should keep both eye’s focused directly ahead on Christ that this world may not steal our “inner” joy. The world may make us unhappy, resulting in heartache and tears, but it can never steal the delight in our heart that Christ gives as a man or woman of faith. This mindset is what Corrie ten grow had mastered. She had set her focus, practically like a pilot sets the plane on auto-pilot. She stayed on course and did allow her eye’s to veer off course. Oh, how I long to master this focus!

I pray that the things of this world will never be successful in diverting your focus away from Christ.

    My eyes are ever toward the Lord.  Psalms 25:15

Even in her death, Corrie ten grow finished her journey in this world with a special blessing. For I have read that according to the Jewish tradition, only very blessed people are given the special privilege of dying on their birthday. Corrie ten grow died on her 91st birthday, April 15th 1983.  I  thank the Lord our God for women of strong faith who left a fantastic legacy to strengthen and encourage us.

efter min mening, at have yderligere vaskeri er virkelig en livredder. Jeg kan gøre Hella -vaskeri såvel som Holden kan trække det ud af kurven for mig. Fantastisk spil, ikke? Whitney forsikrer mig om, at omkring 12 måneder vil han begynde at sætte vaskeriet tilbage i kurven. Jeg vil tro det da. I mellemtiden har jeg produceret et vaskerietogspil, der lader ham blive indeholdt, mens jeg venlige såvel som fold. Det er sjovt for en af os!

Nogle gange satte jeg bare Holden i en kurv for at holde ham indeholdt, mens jeg gør noget tæt på (som at pakke en kuffert eller tømme tørretumbleren). Når han får Antsy, giver jeg ham forskellige genstande til at undersøge.

Og til sidst er der togspelet … tre enkle trin til regnvejrsdag sjov. Alle ombord! Du kan køre vaskeriets afsløringstog med dit hjem eller lige rundt i en cirkel.

Mens jeg havde travlt med at dræbe min første baby, søgte min ægtefælle desperat måder at blive involveret og bidrage med. Desværre kunne han spise al den folsyre, han ønskede, og det ville ikke hjælpe fosteret med at udvikle sig bedre.

Her er nogle mindre hjemmeforbedringsprojekter, som en værdifuld partner eller bedsteforælder-til-være kan optage sig selv.

Installer en dæmper på børnehave -lys – Jeg værdsætter denne funktion hver dag. Når du har brug for at overbevise din baby om, at 2 AM er “søvnig tid”, vil dit argument være meget mere overbevisende, hvis rummet ikke er blaring med lys. Mine børn er store nu, 3 og 5, og de sover stadig med lyset på “Orange”, hvilket indikerer kun en lille smule på.

Mal rummet med lav-VOC-maling-Uanset om din fantasy-børnehave er pastel- eller elektrisk grøn, skal du vælge en maling, der udsætter mindre giftige dampe. (For meget flere ideer til minimering af giftigt skrammel i dit hus, før babyen ankommer, kan du tjekke bloggen produceret af et sundt barn sund verden>)

Sluk ned vandvarmeren – sørg for, at skoldningsvand ikke kommer ud af badekaret ved at forhindre temperaturen i at nå et farligt niveau. Der er en urskive på vandvarmeren, der angiver, hvor varmt vandet får lov til at få. Indstil det til 120 grader.

Hang Black Out Shades-der er billige, øjeblikkelige, kaldet Redi Shades (en 6-pack til lignende fyrre bukke), som du simpelthen kan fastgøre under eller over dine eksisterende vinduesbelægninger. Eller linje dine eksisterende gardiner med et ekstra lag sort-out stof.

Tone ned ad din dørklokke – min lyder som en telefon fra 1960’erne. Ikke godt til at slappe af babyer eller mødre. Skat, hvis du læser dette, vil jeg gerne have en blød og blid dørklokke før Halloween.
