Help A Cancer Patient In Need #GIVINGCOMFORT

Disclosure: The following is a Sponsored post through Social Moms and Giving Comfort. All opinions are 100% mine. 

I haven't mentioned my families struggles with Cancer much. But my family in the past few years has been touched with cancer. Almost a year and a half ago, my step-sister passed away. She was diagnosed about 5 years ago with lung cancer. It was very sad when she passed away. She left behind many who loved her, including her loving husband, son & daughter. And sadly she missed the birth of her first grandchild, who was born only a few months after she died.

Also around this time one of my other sisters was diagnosed with brain cancer. They operated on a brain tumor about a year ago. But it is not able to be fully removed. So she has had to undergo radiation, and chemo to shrink it. She has to get regular scans to check the growth of the tumor. She was doing ok for awhile, but last time I talked to my mom, she said she was getting headaches again, and was not doing so good. So she has to get some more tests and see what the doctors want to do next.

That is why when I heard about a great program called Giving Comfort, I really wanted to participate. I want to help spread the word about this terrific program. Through this website, you can donate a giving comfort kit to either someone you know or even to someone you don't. There is a variety of kits to choose from. Including ones for young boys and girls, teens, men and women.

I was able to pick which kit I would like to give and I went with the Women's Essential kit. It came in the mail yesterday everything is packed in this handy tote bag:

What it includes inside is: a fleece lap blanket, sleep cap, socks with grippers, sugar free mints, herbal tea, a toiletry bag inside that is burt's bee lip balm, toothbrush, toothpaste, hand sanitizer, unscented lotion, a free year subscription for a magazine. also a sudoku puzzle book, journal, pen and a pocket calender.

I took everything out of the bag to show you what is inside:

I am going to ship this up to my sister as soon as I can. Because I know she could really use some comfort right now. Hopefully this will bring a smile to her face when she gets this. If you would like to purchase one for a loved one please visit the website.

As I mentioned you can also make a donation for a kit, and they will make sure they give it to a patient in need. 100% of your donation will go to provide comfort to someone who really needs it.

Just like it did for Esmeralda as seen in this video below:

Also find more information on the Giving Comfort Facebook page. You can like them right from my blog:

Giving Comfort is a charity initiative through the McKesson Foundation. Each year 1.6M people in the US are newly diagnosed with cancer. Giving Comfort can help by giving them the items that are requested the most, to help them through their treatments.


I hope you will consider giving a comfort kit to either a loved one or donating one to someone in need!

Multivitamin Nutrition: Salads, Supplements, and Summer

Summer is the perfect time to take a look at your diet and make some positive changes. Since summer foods are typically lighter and contain fresh fruits and vegetables, take some time this spring to evaluate and set goals for the changes you’d like to make. Eating healthy will affect every part of your life and your kids’ lives -- it’s a foundational element to living the best life you can live. Train your kids to enjoy healthy foods while they’re still young. Creating a great salad doesn’t have to be difficult, just like getting the vitamins your body needs doesn’t need to be difficult.

 Multivitamins
 The easiest way to consistently give your body the nutrition it needs is to invest in some good, high-quality multivitamins and take them on a daily basis. Seven Seas offers great supplements that can help you achieve your goals. You’ll still want to be sure that the foods you are eating provide the vitamins your body needs, but it’s difficult to get all the nutrition your body needs only through eating. Taking a multivitamin may help increase your energy, productivity, and overall health.

Spinach Salads 
Spinach salads are fantastic, because spinach has high iron content, and this leafy green vegetable tastes great with a variety of toppings. Keep your salad simple, so the ingredients have a chance to sing. Lay out a bed of a few cups of raw spinach leaves, and drop cubes of a lean, white meat on top of it, such as chicken or turkey. If you’re a vegetarian, consider a tofu option instead. Add something that will give a bit of a crunchy texture, such as sunflower seeds, pecans, walnuts, or even wonton strips. If you’d like to give the salad a salty zing, add some bacon bits. A bit of crumbled cheese will finish it off, along with a light, vinaigrette dressing. Eat your salad with a whole wheat roll and a glass of your favorite white wine.

BBQ Salads
 If you’re looking for a heartier salad option that still offers the same nutritional elements, consider a BBQ chicken salad. You might even be able to get your husband to eat it. Black beans are a low-calorie, high-nutrient source of vitamins. Be sure to add some into your salad. Cold sweet corn gives the salad a sweet crunch. You can use any type of lettuce you’d like for this salad, but in order to ensure it has a high nutritional content, go for a lettuce that is dark green and not full of water. Add some sunflower seeds, a few tortilla strips, and either chicken or a cooked salmon filet to complete the salad. For dressing, choose an avocado vinaigrette and add a dab of barbeque sauce to finish it.
