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.”

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!”

Goat Yoga Finally Comes to New York

updated: May 11, 2017

South New Berlin, NY, May 11, 2017 (Newswire.com)
–
What is Goat Yoga? Well, it’s just like a regular yoga, with stretching, postures and breathing, except with adorable and friendly goats wandering around, jumping on participants as they “downward dog,” giving kisses, and possibly nipping at yoga pants. Goat yoga is part of a growing trend of including friendly animals in human exercise routines. It’s healthy, it’s therapeutic and it’s loads of fun.

“Everyone in our family is an animal lover. When we moved to the farmhouse, we bought some chickens, turkeys, bunnies and then goats. Our goats have all been bottle-fed and are friendly, loving and very therapeutic. 6 p.m. at our house is known as ‘Goat Time.’ Now we get to share our goats and our sacred Goat-Time with everyone else through Goat Yoga.” said Sharon Boustani, owner of Gilbertsville Farmhouse.

About Gilbertsville Farmhouse:
Gilbertsville Farmhouse operates primarily as a rustic wedding and retreat venue. It was founded in 2013 by Aldo and Sharon Boustani and their four children, formerly of New York City. In 2004, Aldo and Sharon were looking for a country home for their family — a place to unwind from their hectic NYC lives. They discovered their “little” (125 acres) slice of upstate heaven 3 1/2 hours away from the city, in a town right outside of Gilbertsville, New York. They fell in love.

At first, they would travel almost every weekend to their private getaway. Slowly, the area, the community and the lifestyle dug roots in their hearts. They dreamt of making a permanent life there. After almost ten years, their dream began to look less like a fantasy and more like a reality. Starting in 2013, they repurposed the buildings and grounds on their former dairy farm to create a unique and gorgeous rustic wedding venue featuring two stunning barns and a one-of-a-kind Glamping Village. Gilbertsville Farmhouse was born, a weekend wedding venue only 3 1/2 hours from NYC.

After three years of operating their business and 3 1/2-hour commutes, the former NYC family became permanent members of their small-town community. As the family settles into their new lives, Gilbertsville Farmhouse continues to grow and expand. As with every part of their lives and business, Aldo and Sharon most enjoy sharing it with others.

In 2017, adorable Nigerian Dwarf babies joined the family and farm and NY Goat Yoga was born. Aldo, Sharon and their family look forward to sharing their dream, their place and those babies with their supporters, friends and community.

Healthful Home Products Discusses the Dangers of Mold in a Home
[ad_1]

Mold can strike any home in any climate. It’s important for homeowners and renters to know the dangers of mold, how to test for mold, and how to safely remove it from a home according to Healthful Home Products.

Press Release

Wheeling, Illinois, March 23, 2017 (Newswire.com)
–
Mold problems can strike any home in any climate. Household mold poses a serious health hazard, especially for children, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. That’s why it’s important for renters and homeowners to be aware of mold risks, how to test for mold, and how to safely remove mold once it’s found.

Why Worry about Mold?

According to a National Center for Healthy Housing study, 35 million homes in the U.S. have mold and other indoor air quality issues. To be safe, everyone should test for mold at least once a year with the 5-minute Mold Mold Test.

Ron Herrmann, National Sales Manager, Healthful Home Products

Mold is a broad term for certain kinds of fungi that grow in damp places. In closed, humid environments, mold thrives and quickly spreads. As it grows, mold releases millions of tiny spores into the air, and these spores can be harmful if breathed in. While no mold is deemed safe, over 30 identified species of indoor mold are identified as toxic, wreaking havoc on the body’s cells—particularly in the lungs, throat and sinuses.

Mold exposure has been linked to asthma, allergic reactions, nervous-system disorders, and chronic sinusitis. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), mold exposure can also lead to skin, throat and eye irritation, and it can interfere with the body’s ability to fight off diseases. For sensitive individuals, even small amounts of mold exposure can trigger serious health problems, sometimes requiring hospitalization.

“A National Center for Healthy Housing study revealed that 35 million homes in the U.S. have mold and other indoor air quality issues,” said Ron Herrmann, National Sales Manager for Healthful Home Products. “To be safe, everyone should test for mold at least once a year with the 5-minute Mold Mold Test.”

Causes and Signs of Mold

Widespread mold problems make headlines in hurricane-prone areas, but they can strike in drier regions, too. Common causes of mold include sewage backup, cracked or broken water pipes, flood damage, water damage from a leaky roof, and poor ventilation in bathrooms, laundry rooms and basements

Sometimes mold is easy to spot. Usually, however, mold lurks in hard-to-see places such as behind drywall, in the seams of cabinets, or under the fridge. Common signs of mold in the home include:
- The appearance of dark green, blue or black spots, especially around vents, on walls, in cabinets and on curtains
- Sudden unexplained onset of asthma or other respiratory distress symptoms
- A damp, musty smell in the home
- Obvious signs of water damage, especially on the walls and floors
A mold test is required to determine if toxic mold is present in a home. Until recently, do-it-yourself mold test kits needed to be sent to a lab (often requiring an extra fee), and results were not available for weeks. Fortunately, a new mold test called 5-Minute Mold Test Kit from Healthful Home displays results in minutes.

Using a small sample of household dust from the floor, cabinet or other surface, this test kit can detect the presence of over 32 different types of harmful mold spores including black molds (while ignoring harmless molds like mildew). The 5-Minute Mold Test Kit is the only fast-acting DIY mold test kit on the market, and it has been licensed by the CDC. The kit lists for $44.99.

How to Treat Mold

After harmful mold has been detected, it’s possible to clean up many mold problems without the help of a professional. For localized mold issues, Healthful Home’s eco-friendly Mold and Bacteria Cleaner starts killing mold right away, and the mold-fighting effects can last for up to 6 months. It’s odorless, safe to use around children and pets, and 100% biodegradable. The product lists for $21.99.

For a more widespread mold problem, Fog-U Mold is a fast and extremely effective way to treat an entire room. Like the Mold and Bacteria Cleaner, it contains the same all-natural ingredients and keeps working for months. It’s ideal for hard-to-reach places like crawl spaces and ventilation systems, and it even treats carpets and upholstery. The product lists for $21.99. All Healthful Home products can be found exclusively at Ace Hardware. For more information, visit www.myhealthfulhome.com.

Once mold is identified, don’t forget that it is important to fix the source of the problem–whether it’s a poorly ventilated laundry room or bad water damage. Once the problem is fixed, improve air circulation and reduce indoor humidity to make sure the mold doesn’t have a chance to come back.

Learn Techniques to Detach From Technology During Inaugural Camp Out Yonder

[ad_1]

Analog-Focused Weekend Teaches Guests How to Unplug and Infuse Mindfulness into Their Daily Lives.

Press Release

updated: Feb 21, 2017

Reno, Nevada, February 21, 2017 (Newswire.com)
–
Technology inundates daily life for most people, which is why Camp Out Yonder (COY) Founder Nellie Davis is launching the inaugural analog experience over two weekends this summer. On May 26-28 and August 11-13, 2017, speakers from across the country will share their expertise and actionable daily techniques for unplugging from technology and living in the moment, all in an inspiring Sierra Nevada setting.

Camp Out Yonder was created to remind people of the intrinsic value of human connection. Studying mindfulness, or the art of existing calmly and being aware in the present moment, will be a primary focus for all who attend. Campers at this technology-free getaway learn take-away tools for creating a better work-life balance, such as how to better utilize time daily, and how to make that time more productive and enriching.

Small screens are constantly captivating our attention anymore, and you can’t seem to get away from the ever-present Wi-Fi long enough to just embrace the natural world and the people around us. That’s why I wanted to present an opportunity for people to just reset their internal compasses, while also learning real-life techniques to continue doing so at home and work.

Nellie Davis, Camp Out Yonder Founder

“Small screens are constantly captivating our attention anymore, and you can’t seem to get away from the ever-present Wi-Fi long enough to just embrace the natural world and the people around us,” said Camp Out Yonder Founder Nellie Davis. “That’s why I wanted to present an opportunity for people to just reset their internal compasses, while also learning real-life techniques to continue doing so at home and work.”

Guests get back to nature while sleeping in canvas teepees at a Portola, Calif. campground—approximately a 45-minute drive from Reno—surrounded by towering pine trees, mountains and meandering creeks. Lawn and board games keep human interaction high in between learning engaging analog-focused skills taught by knowledgeable teachers, such as postcard making, do-it-yourself aromatherapy, film photography, songwriting, journaling and more. Group campfire chats over s’mores-making wind down the evenings.

Lodro Rinzler, author of six books on meditation and founder of MNDFL meditation studio in New York, will be the first weekend’s featured speaker, teaching COY guests his internationally acclaimed meditation techniques and leading meditations during the weekend. Rinzler wrote the bestselling novel A Buddha Walks into a Bar…, and his work has been featured in The Atlantic, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and on CBS, FOX and NBC News. He has taught meditation at Google, Harvard and the White House, and now brings his lauded techniques to COY.

On August 11-13, Jess Davis, regular contributor to the Huffington Post and founder of a national goods and clothing brand that encourages offline living called Folk Rebellion, is the featured speaker. She will share actionable items so campers may better create boundaries in life and not be so consumed with technology, instead making it work for them once they return home.

Three healthy meals each day, activities, accommodations and workshops are included with COY’s $745 cost. Space is limited for each weekend.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, March 30, 2016 (Newswire.com)
–
Houston B-cycle staff member, Doogie Roux, will join the Clean Line Energy Team for the 2016 BP MS 150. He will complete the ride from Houston to Austin riding a bicycle from the Houston B-cycle fleet. The fundraising ride is organized by the National MS Society and will take place on April 16th – 17th.

“I’m looking forward to completing the ride on a bike that’s not traditionally used during a ride like this and see how I compare to other riders,” said Doogie Roux. “I personally know people with multiple sclerosis so I hope to bring more awareness and raise money by doing something that I’m passionate about.”

The BP MS 150 is the largest event of its kind in North America where over 10,000 cyclist ride for two days and finish at the State Capitol in Austin, Texas. The bike that Roux will use weighs more than 50 pounds; twice the weight of other bikes used for this type of event.

“I am so proud of Doogie’s effort to support the MS 150, as well as his decision to ride one of our B-Cycles,” said John Daly, Executive Director of Houston B-cycle “Doogie is not only bringing awareness to multiple sclerosis, but also the values of Houston B-Cycle; riding bikes brings benefits to our health, our environment and our community.”

The fundraising ride has a minimum of $400 and Roux is currently looking for donations. Anyone interested in helping Roux achieve his goal can make a direct donation on his participant rider page, https://goo.gl/gK73IP.

The unexpected and unrelenting challenges of caregiving affects not only caregivers, but their employers and their co-workers. With nearly half of America’s 65 million family caregivers participating in the workforce, the workplace is feeling the pinch of this growing pressure on their employees who also find themselves in the role of family caregiver. The emotional fatigue of caregiving alone can compromise a worker’s productivity, but throw in last minute schedule changes, continual phone calls, tardiness, and absenteeism—and more employers are finding themselves in the difficult place of wanting to express compassion while simultaneously maintaining a productive workplace.

Caregivers with Hope founder Peter Rosenberger says that caregiving employees can strengthen their professional standing in the workplace by taking 3 simple steps.

Nearly half of America’s 65 million family caregivers are participating in the workforce.

“I’ve found that if an employee is forthright with their supervisor about their circumstances, asks for flexibility without an attitude of entitlement, and consistently provides a fair day’s work, their employer is more likely to be understanding and work with them,” states Rosenberger. “It is also important for the employer to still keep boundaries for these workers. They are not helping the caregiving employee by enabling poor workplace habits and performance.”

To address these and other concerns faced by the caregiver, Rosenberger founded Caregivers with Hope to offer clear, proven strategies to guide them towards a healthier lifestyle in every facet of their life. Peter is ‘the Caregivers Caregiver’ bringing diverse talent and outrageous humor and candor to encourage others. “The goal is not just making family caregivers feel better, but offering them the tools and empowerment to be better” says Rosenberger.

Through an unparalleled journey with his wife Gracie, Peter has navigated through a medical nightmare for the past three decades that has included 78 operations and the amputation of both of Gracie’s legs. In the process, he has learned that a caregiver cannot only survive, but thrive in the midst of oftentimes-grim circumstances. A most ardent champion for the cause of family caregivers for years as a speaker, author and radio host of his own weekly show on News Radio WLAC 1510 in Nashville (also on iHeart Radio), he is also an accomplished pianist and black belt in Hapkido.

Peter’s lengthy media credits include USA Today, Today, The Today Show, Fox news, Guideposts, AARP, BBC World News, among others, and he offers practical help in his latest book, Hope for the Caregiver – Encouraging Words to Strengthen Your Spirit (Worthy Inspired, September 2014).
