June 26, 2006
Somewhere,
between being a military wife, homeschooler, and full-time
work-from-home
mom, I've lost a piece of myself, but I'm ready to get it
back! There are so many facets of me that I'd like to
address -- from enriching myself musically and artistically, to
more fully exploring my interest in our environment by visiting Green
Families and Simple
Living, and researching organic
foods. I'm signing up for the Daily
Indulgence email, resolving to make time for Date
Nights, and taking some Me
Time.
If all else
fails, I'll go read my favorite iVillage blog, Tales
from My Tiny Kingdom, where I'll be reassured that I'm not
alone in my quest for perfection!

ANNOUNCEMENTS!
Let's Dish About Your
Board!
Has your board (or any board you belong to
on P&P) had something happen that shows you the power of the support and
friendship that is on there? Maybe a get together with a funny story
that was posted? A member who went through a hard time but found
support to get through it on your board? Please share it with us! http://messageboards.ivillage.com/n/mb/message.asp?webtag=iv-ivparenting&msg=4709.1
Is your board having a
real-life get-together?
If you are planning an
offline gathering this summer, please be sure to let us know by emailing pboards@mail.ivillage.com
Be great if you could provide us with a few details when you do email –
name of the board/ group, where they will be gathering, when the gathering
will take place and approximately how many people they expect to attend.

Around iVillage
Feel free to promote these on your boards and within your
chats!
***Beat
the Heat: Staying Safe in the Car When Temperatures Climb
Your
child will be okay in the car for a minute, right? Absolutely not. Never.
Not for a minute, not under any circumstances. Even during mild weather,
the temperature inside a parked car can quickly climb to temperatures that
can cause life-threatening heat exhaustion in a small child.
http://parenting.ivillage.com/tp/tpsafety/0,,99hvx7k4,00.html
***Hit
the Trails: Trade in the treadmill and get a better workout
Vigorous
exercise doesn't have to be boring or painful. Hiking can help you lose
weight, improve your physical well-being, reduce tension and enhance your
mental health.
http://health.ivillage.com/active/acardio/0,,99vwkx54,00.html
***Trend
Alert: 1 Minute Workout
Boredom
is the enemy of a good fitness regimen. Enter 1 Minute Workout, which uses
the shuffle feature of your DVD player to create a new, customized routine
every time you press play.
http://diet.ivillage.com/gear/gtrend/0,,9b71r2f0,00.html
***Happy
Birthday HP Fans!
You
are invited to the 6th Birthday Celebration at the Harry Potter Fans Board
on June 29th. Please arrive promptly by Floo, Broomstick, Knightbus, or
portkey; wear your best dress robes, and don’t forget your house pin!
There will be food, drink, trivia, entertainment and Fun http://messageboards.ivillage.com/iv-bcpotter
***Girls
Gone Wild?
She
has an opinion on everything from how Hollywood thinks about the American
woman, to whether or not you should have a hot nanny to take care of your
kids, to how our daughters view their own beauty. Our very own
resident Grrl Genius is starting the Grrl Genius movement on her blog,
don't miss it!
