Recently, my sister in law finished her battle with cancer. She was such a beautiful person. Her battle hit all who knew and loved her with how precious time truly is.
We are in the grieving process and it is more difficult when you watch your kids go through that process. Has anyone here had an experience with this and how did you cope/deal with it?

Hypertension, High Blood Pressure, The Silent Killer
Hypertension is the medical term for high blood pressure. Blood pressure is defined as the force of our blood pushing against the walls of the arteries and vessels as the heart pumps out blood through out the body.
High blood pressure is known as the silent killer because there are little to no symptoms. It is usually detected when we go in for our routine physicals.
As I mentioned in a previous post, blood pressure is defined as high when it reaches 140/90. Our goal should be to keep the blood pressure below this, closer to 120/80.
When blood pressure becomes high, there can be damage and complications that arise from it. Here are just a few of the potential health problems:
Kidney damage
Heart Attack
Stroke
Vision problems
In the following posts, I will review a few steps towards maintaining or having a healthy blood pressure.

How much is too much?
Do you ever think it’s possible to allow your kids to do too much? It seems that as parents we go from one activity to another, without much time to breathe and relax. Do you think that it’s possible to have our children over booked? And if so, what type of results do you believe happen from this? Do you think that it increases the stress level and increased discipline problems?
I’d love to know your thoughts on this.

Ways to relax
I’ve had a long day. A full day at work. Home with the kids. Cleaning up after dinner. Doing a few quick household chores. Now, I am sitting here, surfing online, while I listen to the kids in their rooms.
It seems more and more of a challenge for me to find ways to relax-ways that won’t be incredibly time consuming. I find that by taking a few minutes to just let my mind go blank, it really helps me physically as well as mentally. Here are a few things that work for me. Please feel free to post ideas of your own.
1. Deep breathing.
2. Taking a short walk. This is something that I don’t do nearly often enough. Actually I do it very rarely but do enjoy it when I take the time.
3. A short power nap.
4. Taking a warm bath.
5. Chatting with an old friend.
Now what ways do you find work for you?

Kids, Doctor Visits, and Medical Terminology
As a mom of three active and busy kids, I can see a need for having an understanding of medical terminology. With all of their doctor trips, visits to the pharmacies, and multiple dental appointments, it can be a very valuable piece of knowledge to have.
If you have an interest in the medical field or are a mom, like me, who feels it would be helpful to understand more during their children and families health care visits, then here is a class for you.
