Help I’m choking!

Nadia Lawand — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 01:45:00 +0000

Tonight as I had a minor choking fit on a tiny piece of cucumber and freaked out my husband, I realized how important it is for us to know CPR. I realized that we really don’t know much about what to do in emergency situations!

As a personal trainer I am forced to keep my CPR up to date but what if that wasn’t the case? Do you know what to do in the case of an emergency? Do you know how to react?

The more I think about it the more I realize that the best thing we can do for our families is to be prepared! Take the time to go to your local YMCA or pool and get CPR certified! Its easy but could save your life or your loved ones life!

You can also check out more CPR facts with the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Take care and be safe!

Can Your Marriage Take The Heat?

This is definitely a heat wave!!!! Hot hot hot days and sticky nights. I love it but as I lie here in my 31℃ bedroom with my husband fixing the fan and filling our glasses of water with fresh ice, I can’t help but wonder how relationships last through extreme heat!

If you can last a few days in extreme heat with no air conditioning that your relationship has definitely passed the test of all tests!! Jason and I do not have air conditioning in our home yet so we are living in a sauna. I actually don’t mind it at this point. A cold shower to start the day, a swim in my in-laws pool to end the day and then an evening in the sauna.

What are your tricks to beat the heat and keep your marriage working?

Stay cool…

Every Penny Counts!

Money Money Money!!!! It is a part of our lives whether we like it or not and whether we have it or not! The question is how can we make more, find more, save more? I have the perfect solution….

I got my husband a coin counting jar as a funny gift. Little did I know that without very much effort we would have $150 in no time! Yes when you add all your pennies and change up, it actually counts!!!

My advice for the night is start counting your pennies…. you may be on your way to Mexico with the money you find sitting around!

I’m off to put some change in our little jar…

Sports! All of them !!! Almost!!!

Nadia Lawand — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 01:21:00 +0000

Do you get tired of having to share your spouse with his favorite sport? I don’t, I LOVE SPORTS! Almost all of them! Some kill me of boredom but I love most.

I wanna know, if as many of you out there love watching sports like I do. I never get upset if my husband is watching his sports (I use to, until I got into it, and until I realized : this is great, it keeps him busy for a while haha!)

I was so excited watching the last hockey game between Montreal and Washington that I can’t wait for the next one.

What a fun couple’s activity, especially when you invite other friends to watch the games with you.

I found this great site that teaches you men How To Get Your Wife to Like Football” I think you can use that same tactic for all the other sports!

Call me crazy but a little competition I think is good for a a marriage. If you’re rooting for the same guy you’ve got something to celebrate together when they win! If you’re not, the tension during the game can make for some great … conversation after the game!

Go Habs Go!

I SNOOZE!

This morning I wanted to share a funny story! So I always always have an alarm on cause there is always something to be done early! If its not work, its Saturday morning appointments or church on Sundays. My hubby HATES the sounds (the many sounds) of my alarms… First of all I have 2 of them to make sure I wake up and second I have this REAL bad habit of snoozing for at least 30 to 45 minutes. I’ve tried to wake up right away but I just can’t help it! Does any one have the secret to being able to get up right at the sound of your alarm or even better, does any one have the secret to waking up on time with out the alarm??

Here is a hot product dates back to 2006 (the alarm technology that helps you wake up)

Check out how this alarm is sure to get you out of bed!

The Sfera Alarm Clock – scales new heights to wake you up

I thought this was awesome!

Have a great Saturday!!!
