Your Wedding Dress: Keep it or Not?

How to Decide Whether to Keep Your Wedding Gown or Not

Weddings are beautiful and so are the wedding dresses worn by the brides. Every bride dreams of her wedding day and often spends untold hours and money to find that perfect dress. A few years ago I went shopping with my niece for her wedding gown. She made it a family event, inviting her sisters, her parents, and me, her crazy, fun aunt. In fact, now that I think about it, I went shopping with all three of my nieces to find the perfect dresses for their wedding days.

Now that a few years have passed, I visited with each of my nieces about what their plans are for the wedding dress they will never wear again.  I posed three questions to them: How are you currently storing your wedding dress; why are you keeping it; and if you inherit your mother’s wedding dress, what would you do with it?

Poison Prevention Tips:

We should all take note!

 

Poisoning is now the leading cause of death from injuries in the United States, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Health Statistics. In this recent report, it was noted that in 2008, the number of poisoning deaths exceeded the number of motor vehicle traffic deaths for the first time since at least 1980.1 A poison is any substance that can harm someone if it is used in the wrong way, by the wrong person or in the wrong amount.

These tips are brought to you by members of the National Poison Prevention Week Council.  The Council has been helping to prevent poisonings for 50 years and is made up of representatives from industry, government, non-profit and health organizations to educate the public about the prevention of unintentional poisonings and accidental exposures in and around the home.  These tips are intended for educational purposes and we encourage you to reproduce and share them with others.  Together we can reduce poisonings that can cause death and injuries on the United States.

Poisoning prevention is in your hands. The following tips can help you protect yourself and your loved ones:

Easter is Sunday, April 8, 2012.

We are going to our first Easter egg hunt this weekend and Easter is still a few weeks away. Kids are excited by the colorful Easter egg displays, stuffed Easter bunnies and candy at the local stores. My daughter is digging through closets to find her Easter basket and we are already searching for creative ways to dye and decorate Easter eggs this year.
