Thankful Thursday

Filed under: Uncategorized · October 3, 2013

This has been a crazy week. Full of sniffles, coughs, and antibiotics. Today was the first day in 10 days that all 3 kiddos made it to school. There is some awful bug going around and it seems like it is hanging around this house. Today I am thankful for healthy happy kids and great teachers that make missing so much school easier. Off to complete make up work!

Be YOU, Be GREAT

#ad - @resersfinefoods is the proud sponsor of meal must-haves, and that’s why I decided to have some family fun with our Sunday dinner. I mean, what’s game day without a bit of friendly competition, right? Our family voted on their favorite Reser’s sides, and here are the results! 🌟 If you’re looking to spice up your side dish competition even more, check out your local grocer’s deli department for Reser’s Deli Salads. Don’t forget to add ready-to-heat-and-serve Mashed Potatoes or Macaroni & Cheese to the nightly lineup. Mix it up across the Reser’s line – hot or cold, you’ve got options! 🍲

Discover Reser’s Deli Sides at your local grocer’s deli department (link in my stories). And hey, while you’re there, be sure to spot Reser’s Deli Salads too! 🛒#ResersPartner #ResersFineFoods

Happy Halloween 🎃 It’s been years since we all dressed up for Halloween but here are some of my favorites! Have a Boo-tiful Day!!!! #momlife #happyhalloween #miami

Our family has been affected by Breast Cancer on both sides.

My Aunt Karen passed away after a 7-year battle with Breast Cancer at the young age of 39. We have lost several friends and family since then. Black women experience higher rates of death from Breast Cancer due to many factors. Some of these include lack of quality health care, late diagnosis, and the aggressive nature of certain types of breast cancer.

After watching Baptist Health's YouTube video Breaking Barriers: Empowering Black Women in the Fight Against Breast Cancer, I learned that there are several ways that we can be proactive in the fight against breast cancer, including being our own advocate!!!! Here are a few other tips.

1. Monthly Self Breast Exams
2. Maintaining a healthy weight
3. Attend and follow up with routine screenings, exams, and treatment plans
4. Limit alcohol intake
5. No Smoking

This video was full of great resources and advice. Please head over to Baptist Health's YouTube page and watch the short video.

P.S. Don’t forget to encourage your family and friends to schedule those mammograms!!!!

It is so important that we moms take care of ourselves. This includes keeping up with our annual appointments and monthly breast exams. Did you know that while Black women and White women get breast cancer at about the same rate, Black women are 40% more likely to die from the disease? Remember, ladies, that early detection saves lives. Please encourage the women in your life to schedule those mammograms! You can learn more baptistHealth.net/Mammo!
