One of my favorite movies is American Beauty. One scene that
really stands out is when Lester Burnham talks about buying his dream car after
wanting it because it reminds him of his cousin and his youth. It is really a
great moment. It reminds us that it's never too late to make our dreams come
true regardless of what they may be. Many people dream of owning a dream car
and it's such an awesome moment after working hard and achieving their goal
successfully. While I don't have a dream car really, I can relate. One of my
dreams is owning a hot tub someday. I have always wanted one but haven't been
able to achieve that dream yet. Hopefully someday soon. I also dream of other things that aren't materialistic like being with family, being healthy and some day having more children.
My son Noah has a
dream of owning every single Lego set out there. Except the Lego Friends Sets
of course. My mom dreams of having all of our family together in one place. We
have family all over the world, so that hasn't happened in a very long
time. It would be nice to see everyone. Some of my family I haven’t seen
since before Noah was born. Regardless of what you dream I hope it comes true.
Some families love to exercise together and participate in
fun events to stay in shape and make life lasting memories. It’s a great way to
spend quality time together.You can
join BattleFrog events that have things for the whole family. You can do things
separately or as a family. You can even enter with your friends if exercising
is not something your whole family enjoys.For example my sister and brother in law are very active, but I am not
really a runner. They would have a great time with their friends who are mostly
military. Noah would love the TadPole Dash.
Here’s more information about BattleFrog Events
A Race for the Family:
Being “Fit for the Future”
Let your kids get
muddy! At BattleFrog we have races for any age.
TadPole Dash: The TadPole dash is for 4-8 year olds. The course has 8+ obstacles, through 400 meters, and is
guaranteed to deliver a new experience of self-discovery. Children will learn
they can take on these new and exciting challenges, while becoming “Fit for the
Future”, getting totally muddy and having the time of their lives.
Navy SEALs run the
race with the kids, motivating them, entertaining them, and helping them over
the tough spots and inspire them with the spirit of never quitting, teamwork
and always trying your best. Start a lifetime love of fitness and competition
at the Tadpole Dash. http://battlefrogseries.com/tadpole-dash/
BullFrog Mile: For your slightly older kids there is
the BullFrog Mile. Your children can test themselves on at
least ten of the full-size obstacles the top competitors tackle, but with a
more manageable distance of one mile. Designed for kids ages 8 to 13, your kids can sample the mud crawls, climbing walls, slip and
slides and our “boot camp” military fitness exercise. All with Navy SEAL
motivation throughout the course as your kids work with other racers as an
individual or on a team. The BullFrog Mile combines the right amount of
challenge with the right amount of fun. http://battlefrogseries.com/bullfrog-mile/
BattleFrog 8K:The BattleFrog course is a total test for people of all fitness
levels from ages 13 and up. Each step is inspired by the training that
forges SEAL operators and prepares them to do anything, anytime, anywhere. The
approximate 8K course will take you through 22+ SEAL-inspired obstacles that
use air, land and water to test your body, mind and spirit.http://battlefrogseries.com/

Everyone hurts themselves at some point. Usually it is
something small like burning yourself on the stove, slamming your finger in the
door, or bumping something on the furniture. As we age our bones and muscles
get sore, if you are a parent you can get some serious headaches. Sometimes my
head hurts for no reason what so ever. I am very lucky that I don’t suffer from
Fibromyalgia or Arthritis. I have several friends who have Fibromyalgia and I
don’t even know how they deal with it. I have a really low tolerance for pain.
I am also not a fan of taking pain medicine unless I absolutely have to. When I
had my tumor, I was a slave to my medicines. It was the only way I could
function after surgery. I recently learned about a product called Natural Leigh
Pain Spray. It’s an all-natural pain spray that is something you can throw in
your purse or car or use anywhere.It
comes in two sizes 2 ounces and 4 ounces. The smaller one is great for on the
go, and you can fly with it in your carry on.You don’t have to worry about finding a drink of water on the plane or
as you are going through the airport.When we travel I get stuck carrying all the bags most of the time. My son loves to read, I am talking twenty books
in the suitcases and carryon bags. So by the time we get to our destination, I
am so sore I can barely move.I just
went in the restroom and sprayed myself with Natural Leigh Pain Spray. I wish I
had it a long time ago. It definitely helped a lot.
Here is some information from their website:
Pain Free is a natural pain relief spray that will reduce or eliminate the
pain felt by its users. Created with all natural ingredients like
eucalyptus oil and vitamin E, Pain Free can increase circulation and reduce
inflammation without the aid of over-the-counter medications.
Pain Free can change a person’s life for the better.
Natural ingredients include no harmful side effects, unlike many
over-the-counter or prescription medications, and the formula’s all natural
oils are beneficial to both the inside and outside of a user’s body.
Customers who have used the natural pain relief spray, Pain Free, to reduce
pain or muscle soreness will attest to its effectiveness in treating numerous
and varied conditions. Pain Free has not only helped a large number of people
feel better, it has improved their lives significantly.
Pain Free can also be used in the home to kill dust mites or used in a
vaporizer to reduce coughing and congestion. Different oils,
including eucalyptus oil, work together to treat a sore or clean a roomIn
addition to its large array of uses, Pain Free calms even the most frantic of
minds.
Pain Free users can relax in a hot tub after adding a capful of Pain
Free into its waters to soak away their stressful day and ease a wide range of
aches and pains.
I thought it would be great for Noah too because it’s quick,
easy and painless. It really works too. He thinks it may be magic. For kids sometimes it’s more about the act of
bumping something or getting a small scrape more than the actual pain of it. No
matter what happened it always a million times worse when they see blood even
if it’s a simple scrape or a scab fell off.I am going to be honest and say that I did have to leave the room the
first time Noah got shots and cried the first time I saw him bleed. A couple
sprays of Natural Leigh Pain Spray and he’s back on his merry way.
Noah and I have started making crafts together a lot lately.
We always make crafts but it has become an almost daily event. We like to use
pipe cleaners, googly eyes and pompoms to make all kinds of random things. It’s
a lot of fun. I let Noah have creative reign and I just help him. I have been
using my glue gun a lot. There isn’t really another way to craft with these
materials. Noah wanted to make an alligator out of pipe cleaners and googly
eyes. I went to glue the pipe cleaners together and wasn’t paying attention and
I burned the tip of my finger with my hot glue gun. It hurt so badly. My mom
called moments later and I told her what I had done. She told me to put ice on
it to prevent swelling. I did, it didn’t really help. You could feel how hot it
was even after the hot glue was taken off. I had remembered that I had just
received Natural Leigh Pain Free Spray in the mail and I read the brochure when
I opened it, and I remembered it said something about working on burns. I frantically
looked for my bottle of Natural Leigh and applied it to my poor little finger.
Of course, it was on my left hand and I am left handed. I also type for a
living so not having my pointer finger in working order would be hard.After spraying it, my finger felt a lot
better.I have also sprayed friends of
mine. We went bowling one day and we were all pretty sore, because we don’t
bowl often, and we all felt so much better. I sprayed my leg and the pain was
gone instantly.
