DEVELOPING HEALTHY EATING HABITS

In Young Children By Therese Thompson

Bread and Jam for Frances, written by Russell Hoban and illustrated by Lillian Hoban, is a story that resonates with parents who struggle with their children at mealtime. It’s a tale about Francis, an adorable character who will only eat jam and bread. Out of desperation, Francis’ mom decided to feed Frances only jam and bread at every meal. It doesn’t take long for Francis to discover that mealtimes are much more delicious and interesting with various foods other than bread and jam. As parents of a young child, mealtime can be frustrating and overwhelming – just as it was for Francis’ mom. It may be tempting to add fruits and vegetables to the child’s meal to trick them into eating healthier, but is not at all advisable. This behavior perpetuates a cycle of unhealthy control. When children are tricked, they can become distrustful of their parents by being deceived. As well, they won’t have the opportunity to try and appreciate nutrition and enjoy healthful eating. Fortunately, children can be taught to be healthy eaters. According to the American Dietetic Association, partnering with a child rather than critiquing will help them on the right track. By giving children choices and control over what they eat will empower them to make better decisions. By involving children in the food selection and cooking process, they become excited and proud of what they’ve created. Start early and teach by example. It’s no secret that children learn by watching and copying what they see. Parents’ food preferences and food-intake patterns are a big influence on what children eat. By setting an example of nutritious eating habits and providing children with repeated opportunities to sample new foods, at least some of them will be accepted. Gardening is another way to encourage children to make good food choices. Not only is it rewarding for children and parents, it helps children make a connection with the earth. Peas, strawberries, tomatoes, zucchini and beans are simple to plant and grow, and are easy for children to harvest. These fruit and vegetable choices can also be eaten raw directly from the garden. It’s important to remember that nutrition is an essential building block for children. Healthy, active and well-nourished children are better prepared for school and are more motivated to learn. By having fun with food, children will have fun with it also. Copyright © 2010 Peel, Inc.

The Help by Kathryn Stockett I had heard a lot of buzz around The Help by Kathryn Stockett, but it wasn’t until a good friend of mine coined the book, “exceptional” that I downloaded it onto my Kindle. Boy, am I glad I did! As with humor, it is rare to be able to communicate through the written word raw tenderness between two people, but Stockett nailed it! The perspective of this book, through the eyes of “the help,” African American women working in white women’s houses during the 1960s is spectacular. It is these strong African American women who very often raised the white children, and they did it with pride, extreme love and tenderness. There are a couple of lines within the book that really highlight this point, “Someone whose eyes simply said, without words, You are fine with me” and “You already up, Baby Girl? Why you didn’t holler for me?” and “You a smart girl. You a good girl.”

These women build up the children in their care and want to teach them that color isn’t important in God’s eyes. I also really enjoyed the different personalities and voices in the book as it really told a dramatic, entertaining, sad and funny story. It was interesting to reflect on the books mention of actual historical events, for example the birth of zip codes and well as the more obvious ones during this time—of Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin Luther King and President Kennedy’s assassination. The Help is a beautiful story of love filled with conflict, but ultimately love. Feel free to comment on this review, your thoughts on the book or suggest a book for me to review on my blog: http://brittsbuzz. blogspot.com.

Let us put the sparkle back in your smile!

The outlook CUSTOM WINDOW TREATMENTS

From Budget to Big Bucks Submitted by Susan Kostelecky

Custom window treatments are a decorative and functional complement to a home, and add color, texture and softness. Custom treatments can range in price from very reasonable to very expensive. If you are considering window treatments for your home, there are a number of factors to consider. Those factors are: style, budget and function. Style You can accomplish great style in any budget range. You may already have ideas that you like, from model homes or decorating magazines. You may prefer light and airy, or richly luxurious, casual or formal. If you are working with a window treatment specialist or decorator to determine what style treatments will best fit your home, it is important to discuss the budget you have allotted for this project. You may decide to focus on one room at a time, which makes it easier on your wallet and also to make decisions. Knowing your budget helps your consultant present style ideas and fabrics that will keep the project in your price range. Some treatment styles require considerably more fabric than others, which generally means more lining and more labor. Fabrics with a very large motif (such as a large bouquet of flowers) may require more yardage in order to center or match the motif throughout the project. Treatments with deep folds or pleats require more fabric than a flat treatment. Flat does not mean boring: adding contrasting trim, banding, buttons or tassels adds interest. A flat treatment (like a roman shade, cornice or a straight valance) also lets the fabric print be seen completely. If you have fallen in love with a tulip floral print, a flat treatment showcases the tulips much better than a gathered treatment does. 

The Outlook - August 2010

If there are blinds in place, you have many choices to select from to accent your furnishings. Consider how the room is used: a bedroom might dictate room-darkening draperies to permit sleeping late on the weekends. A west-facing window might require interlining or other linings to prevent light bleedthrough, fabric fading and/or rot. Silk may be interlined to add lush body, insulation and to protect the silk from the sun. A kitchen window may only need a fabric accent valance for color and interest. These are options, depending on your goals for your room. Fabric prices vary greatly. Retail fabric stores offer a good selection, reasonable prices and can generally order fabric for you if they do not have the quantity you require. Outlet stores have very low prices, stock that changes rapidly and cannot be reordered, and may sell “second quality” fabrics that may be flawed. If the price is right, you can purchase additional yardage to offset flaws. The stock changes rapidly, and if you mull over your sample options, the fabric may no longer be available when you go to purchase it. A designer or window treatment consultant has access to the Decorative Center of Houston, which has tens of thousands of fabrics available. The selection of fabric, rods, trimmings, tassels, etc. is far beyond that found in retail locations. This is a huge benefit if you are trying to coordinate with existing fabrics in your furnishings that may be discontinued and no longer available. Custom window treatments should reflect your taste and lifestyle, and still leave money in the bank! Make your home your personal oasis by choosing a treatment that has style and personality and fits within your budget.

The outlook Salt

Oscar winner Angelina Jolie stars as the title character Evelyn Salt in the summer action thriller “Salt.” Starring: Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber, Chiwetel Ejiofor Directed by: Phillip Noyce (“The Quiet American”) Written by: Kurt Wimmer (“Law Abiding Citizen”)

It might be a studio’s biggest nightmare when a megastar like Tom Cruise drops out of your potential summer blockbuster, but when you’re able to secure someone with just as much celebrity power as Oscar winner Angelina Jolie, having to go back and rework the script to read “she” instead of “he” is a welcomed endeavor. (Yes, we realize there is probably much more to it than simply replacing pronouns, but it is well-received news nonetheless). While screenwriter Kurt Wimmer (“Law Abiding Citizen,” “Street Kings”) was able to adjust his script according to gender for the film “Salt,” he doesn’t take the opportunity during the rewriting phase to fill in any of the plot holes or enhance some of the foolish dialogue. Despite its shortcomings, however, “Salt” is entertaining, unpredictable and a much-needed albeit moderate kick to the less-than-stellar mainstream summer action flick lineup. Even on that thinly-built frame of hers, Jolie can still carry a movie on her own. When CIA officer Evelyn Salt (Jolie) is pegged as an undercover spy by a Russian defector, her escape from custody leads to lively foot chases, illogical assassination plots, and some terribly choreographed fight scenes. On her trail are her friend and colleague Ted Winter (Live Schreiber), who assumes she is innocent, and counter-intelligence officer Peabody (the always reliable Chiwetel Ejiofor), who does not. The ambiguity of Evelyn’s character is what keeps the pace of the film at frenzied levels. It’s also what makes it so fun despite its number of implausible scenes. Still, it is nice to have a hero who isn’t tweaking on testosterone or afraid to break a nail.

Copyright © 2010 Peel, Inc.

When Jolie is leaping off highways and onto the tops of semitrucks it’s kind of hard not to pay attention. Directed by Phillip Noyce, who is best known for a couple of those Harrison Ford-as-Jack Ryan flicks back in the 90s (his best work are his more dramatic films like “The Quiet American” and “Rabbit-Proof Fence”), “Salt” might feel like another Jason Bourne offering at times. But with Jolie taking the lead there is a distinctive dynamic that comes with featuring a female Hollywood sex symbol that can kick as much butt as the boys. As far as ridiculous thrillers go, it’s highly unlikely the summer is going to produce anything with more flavor than “Salt.” But even if films like “The Expendables” or “Machete” do end up proving to be more enjoyable, there definitely won’t be a scene in either movie where Sylvester Stallone or Danny Trejo do what Jolie does and outmaneuvers their adversaries with a pair of panties.

Texas shoppers get a break from state and local taxes on August 20, 21 and 22-the state’s annual tax holiday. Lay-away plans can be used again this year at some stores to take advantage of the sales tax holiday. The law exempts most clothing and footwear priced under $100 from sales and use taxes, which could save shoppers about $8 on every $100 they spend. Backpacks under $100 and used by elementary and secondary students are also exempt. A backpack is a pack with straps one wears on the back. The exemption during the sales tax holiday includes backpacks with wheels, provided they can also be worn on the back like a traditional backpack, and messenger bags. The exemption does not include items that are reasonably defined as luggage, briefcases, athletic/duffle/gym bags, computer bags, purses or framed backpacks. Ten or fewer backpacks can be purchased tax-free at one time without providing an exemption certificate to the seller. A detailed list of exempt and non-exempt items can be found at www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/taxpubs/tx98.

Are you ready for a road trip? People in the United States will take millions of trips this year — many of them traveling by car. The most popular treks are trips to the beach, visits to friends and family, and scenic drives. A scenic drive means there’s something to see while you’re driving, like an ocean, mountains, or a beautiful valley. But sometimes when you’re on the road, there isn’t a whole lot to look at. For those times, you’ll need to keep yourself busy. Here are some ideas: • Bring a small map or road atlas. Use stickers to track your family's progress. • Create a trip box that includes stickers, pipe cleaners, pens, paper, and anything else you want to have on hand. • Draw. You can draw what's outside your window or make a game out of it by drawing a picture of someone that you know and making everyone guess who it is. • Start writing in a trip journal and keep track of what you do each day on your vacation. Add photos later. • Read aloud — a scary story or a mystery are great choices.

• Make up your own story and draw the illustrations to go with it. • Listen to a book on tape or CD. • Listen to music. • Sing silly songs that you might be too old for, like "Old MacDonald," "B-I-N-G-O," and "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain" — or even Christmas songs if you're in the mood. For added fun, make up your own silly songs with your family's help. • Snooze. • Play "I Spy." • Play the license plate game by trying to spot as many different states as you can. • Play "20 Questions." • Play travel games, such as checkers, that have magnetic pieces that won't slip off the board. • Play the "My Favorite" game by picking your top five songs, books, ice cream flavors, sports heroes, etc. • Have a spelling bee or trivia contest. Bring index cards to write down words or questions. • Don't fight with your brother or sister! Reviewed by: Steven Dowshen, MD Date reviewed: May 2009
