PROVIDENCE, R.I., August 15, 2017 (Newswire.com)
–
Premama®, a Rhode Island startup and the first nationwide line of pill-free, natural prenatal supplements is announcing today as “National Moms Who Pump Day” in celebration of moms around the world that pump breast milk for their baby or donation.

“At Premama, we celebrate all moms whether they breastfeed, pump or formula feed. During Breastfeeding Awareness Month, we noticed that there wasn’t a day to specially honor all the moms who continually go above and beyond to pump breastmilk for their babies, or even others’ babies through donation,” said Dan Aziz, CEO and Founder of Premama. “We decided to create National Moms Who Pump Day on Aug. 15, to shine a spotlight on this special group of dedicated moms who pump.”

At Premama, we celebrate all moms whether they breastfeed, pump or formula feed. During Breastfeeding Awareness Month, we noticed that there wasn’t a day to specially honor all the moms who continually go above and beyond to pump breastmilk for their babies, or even other’s babies through donation. We decided to create National Moms Who Pump Day on Aug. 15, to shine a spotlight on this special group of dedicated moms who pump.

Dan Aziz, CEO and Founder of Premama

“We created Premama Lactation supplement to support moms on their breastfeeding journey, whether they are nursing or pumping. It is designed to boost breast milk supply and fortify mom’s milk with added nutrition,” said Aziz.

Over the past three weeks, Premama has encouraged moms to share their hilarious, empowering and heartwarming pumping stories on the Premama Facebook page. Four winners will be chosen to each win one $500 SpaFinder gift card. The story categories were: “funniest pump story,” “pumpers who go above and beyond” and “the person who supported you most during their pumping journey.”

The winning stories for each category are:

Funniest Pump Story had one winner:

Hannah: “I made my toddlers breastmilk popsicles and my husband came home and ate two, not knowing they were breastmilk. You should’ve seen his face when I came in and saw him and told him what he was eating!”

Pumpers Who Go Above and Beyond had two winners:

Bracha: “I’ve been pumping for almost nine years. I never thought I would end up here when we adopted our first child. He was premature and weighed a few ounces short of two pounds. I induced lactation and was able to feed him exclusively with my milk from six months on after supplementing with donner milk and the help of an SNS.

“I have gone onto feed 22 children (including my four kids). I’ve donated pumped milk as I’ve also wet nursed as many of the 22 kiddos I’ve fed over the years.

“My latest accomplishment was being able to pump for a surrogate baby I birthed in July 2016. I pumped and shipped 1000 ounces of milk to her bi-weekly in addition to nursing my own toddler at the time. I am now pregnant with that baby’s sibling (due this Fall), and I hope to pump for him/her as well. Breastmilk is an amazing gift and I am ever so thankful that my breasts have exceeded my expectations to nourish so many children. Nothing can compare.”

Stephanie: “I was diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm on July 7. I had open heart surgery to repair it on July 31. Our third son was only three months old. Five hours post-op and immediately after removing the breathing tube, my sister hooked me up to my pump. I continued to pump three times a day during my hospitalization in an effort to preserve his food source.

“A small miracle is that I had pumped and stored about 700 ounces in the previous two months that I had planned to donate. Because of our stash, we were able to keep him on breastmilk during my entire hospitalization. Hopefully, my supply will return well enough we can still donate in the future.”

Person Who Supported You Most During Their Pumping Journey had one winner:

Christine: “My sister Stephanie was by far my hugest supporter & cheerleader in my pumping journey. She not only bought me my (quite expensive) pump, but she also taught me all of the ins and outs when it came to pumping. She helped me find the right size parts, taught me just how to pump and encouraged me when I wanted to quit before my goal date (multiple times). I would never have made it 18 months without her!

“I’ll never forget my early days in the NICU with my son. I was beyond exhausted (emotionally and physically) but she made sure I was pumping at the right times to ensure that my milk would come in for my little guy while he couldn’t quite nurse yet. Or the one time I got mastitis. She had a two-year-old and newborn at the time, but she spent the whole day at my house caring for my newborn and me as well so that I could pump all day and heal.

“Or the time when my deep freezer broke, I lost my entire stash of pumped milk (sad face) and she gave me an overabundance of her frozen milk so that my little boy did not have to supplement with formula (amazing)! I am so thankful for my sister! She’s so selfless and absolutely deserves a spa day!”

Press Release

updated: May 2, 2017
Chicago, IL, May 2, 2017 (Newswire.com)
–
The American Institute of Family Law Attorneys is pleased to announce and recognize the exceptional performance of Illinois’s Family Law attorney and Loyola Law School Professor Andrew “Drew” Vaughn as a two-year “10 Best” Family Law attorney winner for client satisfaction. Drew is the founder of NuVorce, LLC, the only Family Law firm where clients pay controlled fees, determined by Andrew’s own mathematical formula, for unlimited access to their attorneys.

“Being recognized by the AIOFLA two years in a row is a great honor. That said, we don’t think it’s a coincidence we have been selected as one of the top 10 Illinois Family Law firms for demonstrating the highest standards of client satisfaction. Since we started NuVorce in 2014, everything we do has supported this very effort — to make our clients happy with an entirely new approach to Family Law,” exclaimed Drew.

Since we started NuVorce in 2014, everything we do has supported this very effort – to make our clients happy with an entirely new approach to Family Law.”

Andrew Vaughn, Founder of NuVorce, LLC

As a self-proclaimed a math nerd, Drew invented the mathematical formula that predicts the costs of divorce. This formula forces NuVorce, LLC, to be more efficient. “We’re not paid by the minute. Our clients know what they’re paying, why they’re paying it, and what we’re trying to accomplish for them,” states Vaughn.

One of the most significant aspects of the selection process involves an attorney’s relationships and reputation among his or her clients. As clients should be an attorney’s top priority, AIOFLA places the utmost emphasis on selecting lawyers who have achieved significant success in the field of Family Law without sacrificing the service and support they provided. Selection criteria focus on attorneys who demonstrate the highest standards of client satisfaction.

It’s National Marriage Week–Campaign to Promote Marriage and Its Success

[ad_1]

A campaign to promote the benefits of marriage to reduce poverty and benefit children.

Press Release
–

updated: Feb 6, 2017

NEW YORK, NY, February 6, 2017 (Newswire.com)
–

NATIONAL MARRIAGE WEEK USA is this week —February 7^th to 14^th–a campaign to promote the benefits of marriage, increase marriage education nationwide and build more marital success, which reduces poverty and benefits children.

NATIONAL MARRIAGE WEEK USA is coming soon—February 7th to 14th–a campaign to promote the benefits of marriage, increase marriage education nationwide and build more marital success, which reduces poverty and benefits children.

Sheila Weber, Executive Director, National Marriage Week USA

“National Marriage Week USA is a great time to get the word out as to why we must be concerned about the decline of marriage in America, and the ways to help people have more marital success,” said its executive director, Sheila Weber.

The annual campaign has been covered by national TV, radio and print publications regarding the drop in marriage rates, the costly loss of two-parent families for children, and ways to help couples avoid divorce.

“We want to get the word out to help as many people as we can,” said Weber. “Through our website, www.nationalmarriageweekusa.org, couples can find help to strengthen their marriages, and anyone can make a difference to help others.”

National Marriage Week USA promotes that:

·         Marriage must be part of the conversation about the economic divide—that marriage lifts women and children out of poverty. The Brookings Institution says we’d have 25% less poverty today if we had the marriage rates we had in 1970. Get info at main website under Research and Newsroom.

·         The campaign has the ONLY online National Marriage Calendar where all groups can list and locate for free any marriage class or event all across the nation! See hundreds of 2017 events with more to come at http://www.nmwusa-calendar.org/

·         The campaign is building a movement of all marriage education efforts across America: the goal is a marriage class in every town like fireworks on the Fourth of July! NMW does not promote any curriculum of its own, but elevates the ones that already exist. Concerned Americans can start their own class or event with easy-to-use videos and workbooks suggested at http://www.nationalmarriageweekusa.org/classes-and-dvds

·         The alarming statistics—with 41% of all babies born outside of marriage today, and an enormous drop in the marriage rate, why we should be concerned about the decline of marriage. View our FACT SHEET and WATCH this 4-minute information video.

·         In 2017, the campaign is promoting a message that “Marriage is Worth It” with video clips from couples who sent in their own ideas, viewable in this 4-minute montage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0AyiD2nJbs

Hello, My Name is Oliver by Paymaneh Ritchie Shows Us How to Deal with Mental Health Issues

[ad_1]

Press Release

updated: Dec 22, 2016

Vancouver, BC, December 22, 2016 (Newswire.com)
–
Like many classics for young readers, such as Winnie the Pooh, Paymaneh Ritchie’s “Hello, My Name is Oliver”, was written by a parent to entertain and educate their own child. Told from the perspective of a lovable but depressive six-year-old Beagle-Springer Spaniel who was adopted from the SPCA, this children’s book delves into mental health issues that include separation anxiety, depression, and self-worth.

Paymaneh’s aim is to create an easy to read, light-hearted story that will enable parents to discuss tolerance, acceptance and unconditional love with children.

Through Oliver’s experiences, the author utilizes words such as depression, anxiety, adaptability, unconditional love and understanding to allow parents to elaborate and educate their children whilst bonding and strengthening their relationship through sharing a story and hopefully a few hugs!

Paymaneh Ritchie, Author

“Hello, My Name Is Oliver” is a middle-grade book written in an easy, conversational tone to encourage young readers and their parents into a natural flow of discussion regarding the ‘big’ issues Oliver faces in his simple, yet universal life. This true story is told through Oliver’s eyes as he views his humans’ world.

Oliver is a loyal, neurotic, and lovable abandoned dog who is unsure about his self-worth until he meets his new family at a local SPCA. His new home offers him a second chance in life along with a human sister and an extended family that adore him. But of course, fitting into a new family requires Oliver to ‘train’ his humans about his anxiety, depression, and excitability. As Oliver and his new family tackle these all too common issues and practice unconditional love, they learn to coexist and compromise. Until of course Lexi, the new blue eyed puppy shows up and turns Ollie’s life upside down again!

Through Oliver’s experiences, the author utilizes words such as depression, anxiety, adaptability, unconditional love and understanding to allow parents to elaborate and educate their children whilst bonding and strengthening their relationship through sharing a story and hopefully a few hugs!

Paymaneh states, “Making children aware (at their capacity) of important mental and emotional issues surrounding us all, hopefully enables us parents to raise compassionate, understanding and tolerant humans with self-love that extends to all.”

“Sometimes discussing these issues can be tough when asked by a child, but through “Oliver”, I have found an easy way to approach, describe and in turn create an easy platform regarding these very important issues,” adds Paymaneh.

Hello, My Name Is Oliver is available on Amazon in Hardcover, softcover or E-book format.

The Truest Test of Sanity: Facing Your Family Over a Turkey at Thanksgiving

[ad_1]

Life Coach, Ron Baker, offers important 3 clues for setting yourself up well when going home to spend time with family and loved ones, which can be quite stressful.

Press Release
–

Nov 19, 2015

New York City, November 19, 2015 (Newswire.com)
–
“It is great to bring lightness to what we all face at Thanksgiving, and to keep in mind that there is not enough L-Tryptophan in a turkey to get your relatives to merely sleep their way through the stressful holidays. Here are three clues you can begin practicing now to make this a better holiday for yourself,” offered Ron Baker, Life Coach with a specialty in Emotional Education.

1. Learn to take deep, proactive breaths. When you breathe deep into the lower body, you help open the solar plexus that can help avoid a stomach ache. When you breathe out with a relaxed, open mouth, you proactively release tension that could lead to anxiety otherwise.
Simply take a few deep breaths before you sit down for dinner and a few more when Aunt Flo asks, “When you are going to get married,” or “What you are doing with your life? Oh. Really?!?”

“It is important to set ourselves up well, and to bring a sense of humor home with us at the holidays. Otherwise, this can actually be quite a stressful time.” Ron Baker, Life Coach

Ron Baker, CEO, Empowered At Last

2. Set a clear goal for yourself prior to going home, such as deciding you will stay out of any conflicts that take place. By deciding ahead of time who you choose to be, you set yourself up better. You might also decide to instigate a meaningful conversation with one person you particularly value as well.

3. Finally, keep in mind that Thanksgiving is a time for focusing on gratitude. No matter what challenging dynamics might be habitual in your family, you might take time to think of one positive quality or one enhancing moment you have shared with each person–again, prior to going home. If you do, it will be easier to consider that Aunt Flo means well, even if she inspires fantasies about what you’d like to do with the stuffing.

Ron Baker has been helping people heal family dynamics for over 25 years. The holidays are a time that trigger some our deepest wounded feelings and that can lead to depression for many people—even millions of people. Know that you are not alone and that there are clear ways you can proactively help yourself this holiday.

Ron Baker is available for interviews. ronbaker.net
