Helping Hand

I wanted to pass along some information and was hoping that you may be interested in offering a helping hand. There is nothing more heartbreaking that a sick child. There is a non-profit organization called Orange County Foundation for Oncology Children and Families that is a volunteer-run organization providing year-round recreational and social activities designed to foster supportive relationships for pediatric cancer patients and their families. These children with cancer are fighting the battle of their lives, and organizations like this can offer hope and give them a chance to be a kid during a incredibly difficult time in their lives.

There are so many ways you can help, through volunteering and donations. This organization is under jeopardy, because they are non-profit they depend on donations and volunteers. Please take a minute too look at the website and see if you can help http://www.ocf-ocf.org/fund.html.

Got Muffin Top?

It's the same old story...after kids and those pants just don't fit the same. It's simple not easy. It is possible to get back to pre-baby, but then age slowly trickles in and that 1 cookie becomes equivalent to 4 cookies. And that 2 miles now needs to be 4 miles to have the same affect. The muffin top is just not a happy feeling. Total bummer I know.
