We only have one heart. So it’s important that we take care of it. Here are some interesting and amazing facts about the human heart.
And as always, if you have any questions or comments, please let me know. Happy reading!
1. The heart beats about 100,000 times a day! Wow!
2. The heart is about the size of 1 1/2 to 2 clenched fists, in an adult. It always amazes me how something so small is so powerful!
3. The heart pumps around 2,000 gal. of blood every day.
4. The American Heart Association recommends blood pressure no higher than 140/90. By keeping your blood pressure below this you are protecting your blood vessels and heart.
Just a few facts about the fabulous organ, the human heart!

I’m a mom of three, ages 16 (soon to be 17), 14, and almost 10. I am a nurse who works full time as a high school nurse. I also teach part time, various topics such as Understanding Medical Terminology. I’m also involved in several of my kids activities, such as sports, church groups, etc.
I know I need to take care of myself, but it seems there is always something else to do.
How do you find time for yourself?

Here’s some information that I found on the subject of the little crawling things. Happy Reading!

We spent a sun filled week-end with soccer. All three of my kids play and we were outside for so much of the time.
Thankfully, I remembered to apply sunblock on myself and the kids. AND I remembered to reapply it, which is something that I tend to forget.
What about you? Do you find that you forget to reapply sunblock? What SPF do you typically use?

Do you try to do it all? Are you a mom who feels that she is always on the go, always doing for others, and rarely caring for herself?
I know that at times I try to become super mom. I have to remind myself to slow down and take care of myself. If I’m not well, I can’t take care of others.
Registration open for the May session at lvsonline. See further info here: http://lvsonline.com/online-painter-classes/

Allergy time is here. I can’t believe how many people are suffering. I hear so many who are sneezing, coughing, and have red and swollen eyes.
I’m taking my meds, most of the time, but really need to be more consistent with it. I know—what kind of nurse I am, lol. I’m also trying a homeopathic treatment that I am really excited about as well.
