While browsing around on the internet I came across this article, ‘What is the Mom Dance?’ by Donna Cavanagh and I couldn’t help but smile.   Having recently become a mom myself, I enjoyed reading about all the wonderful things in life I get to look forward to that come along with aging and motherhood.  Below is an excerpt:

“While I was visiting at my daughter`s college apartment, my daughter and her roommate were telling me how they took their other roommate`s mom out to the bars for some dancing and college decadence. I was laughing along with the girls up until my daughter started to describe how this woman danced in the clubs. She called it the Mom Dance.

I was a bit taken aback and asked, “What is the Mom Dance?” At that point, the two girls stood up and started to sway in place at a brisk speed. Then they swung their arms back and forth simultaneously snapping their fingers.

Insulted by this little demonstration, I said, “Who dances like that? I don`t dance that way!”

“Uh, yes you do. All moms do.”

Though I’ve already become a big fan of the ‘mom jeans’, I have yet to worry about ‘mom heels’ or ‘mom glasses’…and we’ll just leave the granny panties out of it for now, shall we?

Here’s to hoping my rad dance moves have a while before they fade away!   And when that dreaded day comes when I’ll have to pick up a pair of reading glasses, I’ll be sure they’re the most fabulous specs out there!

Aging eyes and failing eye health are inevitable.  However, this article  by Lence for findthetop.com has some really great guidelines to help us keep our peepers young and bright for as long as possible. 

Here are a few:

-Have your eyes checked every 6 or 12 months

-Wear sunglasses with UV protection-our reading sunglasses offer 100% protection from harmful UV rays.

-Eat foods rich in vitamins A, C & E-carrots, spinach, etc.

-Don’t read in the dark

-Rest your eyes!-catch at least 8 hrs. of sleep a night!

-Quit Smoking

Being in Indiana, we have been pretty stoked about Butler University making it to the NCAA Championship Game for the 2nd year in a row.  While browsing around on the internet, I came across a few articles about head coach Brad Stevens’ superstitions and his “good luck glasses”.  This article by Tom Kinslow for the Bleacher Report was my favorite.  Below is a taste:

“If you’ve been watching the NCAA Tournament, you might have noticed that Brad Stevens has looked a bit different since his Cinderella run to the national championship game as the head coach of Butler last year.

Stevens has been wearing glasses, and he’s not going to take them off for anybody. You may be asking yourself why, well it’s because of his superstitions.”
