DRINK WATER!

You want to be healthy, loose weight and feel great? Drink water.
Drink as much as you can, every time you feel like reaching for something to snack on , drink a glass of water.
Drinking anything won't count, you have to drink water, the benefits of drinking water won't be replaced by something sweet, hot or flavored, just plain clean water.
Get used to drinking water instead of soft drinks ,coffee, store bought juices, and flavored water.
No drinking while eating, and if you must do so drink water only.
You know that the best way to loose belly fat , is to drink before eating and NO drinking while eating. 
Water acts like a cleanser , it helps your body recover from toxins that are everywhere now days.
Drink water and help your family do it too.
Until next time, take a glass of water, take care of your body , you need it.
Live healthy, live happy.

BE RESPONSIBLE !

As a mom, as a parent, and as a wife, we have big huge humongous responsibilities toward every person in our families.
We need to understand that love, respect and reward don't happen just like that, they are to fight for, you have to deserve your title.
The only way to succeed in your life as a wife and as a mom is to dedicate your self entirely to your family, not only to your kids but to your husband too. If you and your husband are a team, your kids will have a chance to be normal and grow up healthy (psychologically).
The most important and the hardest responsibility, is to be a role model for your kids. Try as much as you can to change any bad habits that you have, any behavioral problems that you have, an do it while your kids are still to young to copy them.
Your kids are imitating you, they are learning from you, they want to be like you and like their father, be careful at what you say and what you do because they will do it too.
We are so busy taking care of things, we think we are doing the best we can, but are we really? 
Time goes by fast , our kids are getting bigger and bigger every day, one day it will be too late for us to change and impossible for us to change them.
So do your job right, that way you will have nothing to fix later, and don't forget you will get the reward for your dedication and hard work now and later.
Until next time, be your best for you and for your family.
Live and love your life.

TRY IT!

Do you have more than one child?
Now days, it is very hard to teach our kids the real values that we learned growing up.
For example , how to be responsible early in life? how to care about others? how to be able to share things? how to follow rules and guidelines?....
Our kids are spoiled, we spoil them, the environment spoil them, and the modern life spoil them. The material things are necessary for them to be normal.
They grow up thinking, that they go first no matter what, that they have to have things their way, that they know better just like that,...
But how can we brake this cycle of selfishness? 
Here is a good tip that will make your kids learn that life is about others too.
Make your kids share everything, they have to share their room, their toys and the things that they scherich the most.
If you have a room for each kid, here is what you should do, have them share one room to sleep, and the other to play. You will have a room called bedroom, where they have a joint closet, where they will have to sleep together, and learn to respect each others needs. The other room will be called playroom where they will share toys , computer and desk , this room will make them learn that there are others that want things too, he or she will have to make room for her or his brother or sister, they will have to accept that to be able to have what they want, they have to let other have it too. And best of all, no toys, books or any item that belongs in that room is allowed outside that room, you will instantly get rid of that messy living room, it is a good way to make them follow your rules, they will have to clean that room, it will be their responsibility, they will understand that if they share the fun they will have to share the cleaning too.
Think about it , sharing a bedroom will make them care about each others comfort and needs, and sharing a playroom will make them give to others, respect others, be responsible and learn that life is about others too.
Until next time, do what is best for your kids now, and prepare them to be part of this messy world we live in.
Love your kids , and do what is best for them.

DO YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY?

We all want to be happy, but are we doing the right thing to be happy?
We all want what is best for us, and what is best for our families, but do you really think you know what is best for you and your family?
Let's think for a moment.
What do you want from life? do you want to be like somebody you know? do you want to have what they have? do have dreams that seam impossible to achieve ?
If you care about how big your house is?, what model and year your car is?, how many shoes you have?, what kind of designer clothes you get? , how expensive your jewelry is?, and other unnecessary things in life, you are missing the chance of being happy , really happy.
Here is why? these things, material things are not a source of real happiness, they just make you feel powerful and important, but not happy . 
To be happy you should value more what you have, non material things.
If you envy those who have things that you can't have you are making your self miserable , and missing your chance to be happy.
To be happy, look at those who don't even have what you have.
How many women out there are not married? how many couples can't have kids? how many have sick kids? how many don't have a place they can call home? how many sleep hungry? how many are sick and handicapped ? .....
Look at your life , look at what you have , trust me it is more then you need to be happy, all it takes is for you to see how lucky you are , it does not matter what others have or don't have , each one of us have a different combination of things that suit us best.
Don't waste your life chasing something that will never give you happiness but only make you miss out on it.
You have everything you need to be happy, be content with your life because it is yours.
Until next time, cherish you life, live every moment like it is the last.
Be happy, live happy.

Mix all the ingredients together, knit the dough really well until it is soft and elastic, this dough is not sticky like the magic dough.
Let it rest for 1 hour until it doubles the size.
Preheat the oven at 425 degrees. 
Then divide the dough into little balls, size of your balm.
Flatten one at a time on a floured surface. It should be 1/2 inch of width.
For a PIZZA BUN, have the
 RED SAUCE ready , and any cheese you like.
Spread 1 tea spoon of red sauce on the flatten dough, and put in the middle 1 table spoon of shredded cheese.
Take the edges of the dough assemble them together , then turn the ball smooth side up and make it a perfect ball , then put it aside and proceed with the rest of the dough.
