Why are prenatal vitamins SOOO BIG? WHY must they be a challenge for some of us to swallow?! Well, this week we have another alternative solution for you!!! A prenatal vitamin called S7 Prenatal Drink Mix made by MOMS!!! Michelle Dudash, Natalie Hill, and Ilene Hill all started “Impact Nutritionals because they wanted to start a health minded company with solution providing products.”

For our episode this week, we have both Michelle and Natalie from Phoenix, Arizona sharing with us this fantastic solution for Moms and Mom-to-be…  The really cool thing about S7 is that it’s a DRINK MIX!!! No more swallowing big pills (36% of moms have this challenge)  , if you don’t want to! S7 has super seven pregnancy nutrients: Folic Acid, Iron, DHA, Calcium, Choline, Electrolytes, and Ginger. I wonder which other prenatals have ginger IN IT to help you combat the nausea you may feel during pregnancy… hmmmm…. Michelle was telling us that studies show that you have to take 250 mg of Ginger three times/day for the ginger to be effective? It helps that Michelle is a certified registered dietician, too!

Of course, the best way for anyone to obtain the best nutrition is to eat a variety of foods that are rich in vitamins and nutrients. Prenatal vitamins are meant to be supplemental to a nutritious diet. There is also a wonderful promotion for our listeners until the end of February…

Happy 2010!!! Michelle and I are back for 2010!!! As you may have noticed, it’s been “a while” since our last show due to life in general… home, work, children, the reality of the Madness of Motherhood!!! LOL

So, after much organizational planning, Michelle and I have returned with phenomenal enthusiasm for this year! This first 2010 episode is our conversation about re-organizing and what we have planned for you for upcoming episodes.

One of the issues we discussed was how we could give our children a sense of “giving back” or generosity through volunteerism. But, HOW? A suggestion was during bedtime by saying prayers of thanks and/or sharing what you are thankful for. For example, “I am thankful for being kind to Timmy at the playground today,” or ” I am thankful for the yummy sandwich Daddy packed us for lunch today.” By starting to recognize small acts of kindness and saying thanks, children become AWARE. Awareness is the key…

Here are a few other ways:

1. Ronald McDonald House – Bake an extra dozen cookies or another loaf of banana bread. OR bring in some extra laundry detergent, soap, paper towels.
2. Pet Smart- Every Saturday at some store locations they have animal organizations that need additional supplies such as blankets, food, toys. Pets are available for adoption.
3. Local homeless shelters are always looking for clothing and food donations.
4. How about your church? They always have something going on that you may be interested in helping out. It may be something as simple as a church fair or watching younger children during service.
5. Be a good neighbor. Pick up the paper early in the morning and bring it to their door step. Bake something yummy and share. OR simply share your time and go visit.

All great ways to begin 2010 with an open heart and learn how to SHARE your time- the best gift you can give.

We talk about other things, of course, but most of all we are SO EXCITED to share wonderful new things for this year! We have incredible guests lined up who have found a way to help make our lives as Moms easier and more efficient. They are fun, interesting, and just like you and me!!!

Happy Listening and Happy February!
