Freaky Frugalite

It seems like it was a million years ago that I was doing my full 300 Entrecard drops for this blog, amongst other things… but I don’t what it is– the weather? hectic life? burn out??– but I just can’t do it, lately. I’m absolutely POOPED! All. the. time! The fatigue is so very wearisome. [...]

I love medical websites. I have four kids, three cats, a dog, a bird, and always a housefull of kids. You better believe I am practically a registered nurse/doctor right about now! Rusty nails, roundworms, infections, good eating, sugar highs…. *sigh* I never thought that being a mom and pet owner would catapult me into [...]

I have loved being a mother, just loved it. Now– getting up at 3am… the puke fests every flu season… bicycle crashes and bleeding knees…. those I have not loved so much. But I love the kids with all my heart and have been really really blessed, being a mom. The best Mother’s Day gift, [...]

You’ve heard me discuss the science and benefit about stem cell therapy. I have always been 100% against harvesting stem cells from unborn babies– human life is precious at every age and development, and should be protected at all costs. However, harvesting stem cells in other ways– safer ways that do not harm or kill [...]

I can’t believe I’m feeling those symptoms again. The kids and I have been sick, what, TEN TIMES this winter and spring. I can’t believe it. We are almost never sick! It’s been unbearable. I just hate the fatigue and the fuzzy mind that comes with the colds and flus. Still, thank God that’s all [...]

Cryo-Cell is really going all-out these days, trying to get the word out about the remarkable research into and abilities of umbilical cord blood, a main source of stem cells. These stem cells that are harvested painlessly and easily are of no threat to unborn babies- that’s why I support this research so much. Adult [...]

I have been and always will be 110% against using aborted babies for stem cells. It is sickening, immoral, and smacks of Hitler and Nazi Germany. I grew up hearing the stories of human skin lamps and the other sick things people did to each other during that time. And human life is precious, no [...]

What do you think about baby umbilical cord-blood banking? I first heard of it when expecting my first child, in the early 90s. (I’d also heard that hospitals take the placenta and sell them and that they were used in things like shampoo and hand lotions, is this true?). Cryo-Cell is a company that distributes [...]

That’s what my physical therapist told me. :D My orthopedist says that I still have great strength despite my herniated disk, but I do still need to exercise and continue to strengthen my abdominal muscles. Because I was laid up for so long, I had to cancel my gym membership. I really hated to do [...]

One thing I have learned — the hard way, unfortunately– is that no home project or job is worth sacrificing your good health. Last year, I pulled a muscle in my shoulder, where the arm goes into the shoulder socket. I did too much overhead drilling when I had to make holes for electrical wiring, [...]
