How Do I Increase My Chances of Conceiving?
So I am entering the ovulation period! Woo hee. Since last month has been crazy I bought some FertiliTea to help me regulate my cycle. I don't want another 56 day cycle, and sitting there asking yourself what if? I also read somewhere that probiotics, the one I have been taking Ultimate Flora women's care probiotic, helps regulate vaginal pH which is essential in achieving pregnancy. Many times the environment will be too acidic and the man's sperm have no chance of surviving. Also never forget those prenatal vitamins. I like them because they have many essential vitamins that we need daily anyways, so it can never hurt. More Here...

Another Reason to Love Obama: Free Birth Control
I couldn't be more excited about this new development from the Obama Administration.
Starting on August 1st, employers will be "required to cover contraception in their health plans, along with other preventive services, with no cost-sharing such as co-pays or deductibles. This means that after years of trying to get birth control covered to the same extent that health plans cover Viagra, our country will finally have nearly universal coverage of contraception."
This is a huge step in our country. This will not only help to protect women's rights, but it is also a step towards making men and women equal in the eyes of the government.
Do you doubt the positive impact that this decision may have? Then read on. More Here...

From apples2apples:
"Alright, so I noticed whenever I buy carrots, I go through an entire bag in a night (and these are like, the 2 lb bags with 20 large carrots inside or something like that). And then I'm craving carrots and I just feel I NEED more carrots, so I'll go out and get more and then those will just disappear too. More Here...

7 Delicious Good-For-You Foods
Settling into a healthy diet is harder than it sounds. You get to the grocery store and everything looks sort of nebulous on the good-to-evil spectrum. From the 1990s' racket about carbs being your waistline's enemy to the constant struggle over what part of the egg is the right part to eat, we're often functioning under very strange notions about food. The better choice is to find the whole foods that go well together, that you feel comfortable preparing, and that have flavors you can get excited about (I'm sorry, lettuce just doesn't thrill me most days). That way, you don't eat your healthy meal and then end up darting for the cheese puffs because you were left unsatisfied. Here are some of my kitchen staples that help keep me out of trouble.

Facts for the Girl Scout Cookie-a-holics Out There
I was a Girl Scout growing up; my sister was too, and even went on to work for the organization for several years. We're big fans of the GS fundamentals, the lessons they teach young girls, and all of the charitable work that they do.
We're also *big* fans of Girl Scout cookies.
Thin Mints, Samoas, Do-Si-Dos, Tagalongs... You name it, we've eaten it. I've come up with interesting ways to eat them (crushed and as a sundae topping, for example), and have even given these treats as gifts.
But what exactly are you eating when you donate those $4 to the Girl Scouts community? More Here...
