Heartburn can be one of the most uncomfortable, and sometimes painful sensations, and frequently occurs among people of all ages. There are several causes for it, some of which can be eliminated through proper diet or treatment of other ailments that are closely associated with it. There are several medications on the market that are designed to treat and cure heartburn, but, as with many other conditions, there are natural remedies that may be helpful and found in your own kitchen cabinet.

Baking soda is a great way to stave off heartburn. Deposit one teaspoon of baking soda in an eight ounce glass of water and let dissolve. Then, drink the acid water. This is, of course, only a temporary relief, and should be treated as such. If you experience heartburn on a regular basis, you may want to visit a doctor to have it checked for Acid Reflux, which can be more serious than many people think.

Another natural remedy for heartburn is to limit the foods that are causing it. If you are used to eating fried foods, and you frequently experience heartburn soon after eating them, you may want to change your diet. Bake, broil, or steam your food if possible. It may not taste as good in the beginning, but it could make you feel a lot better in the end. It will also help to improve your overall health.

Do not sleep after eating. This will help keep the acid out of the stomach, and reduce your chances of getting heartburn. If you must lie down, elevate your head as much as possible so you will not be lying flat on your back.

Do not wear tight clothes around your waste. Doing this will squeeze your stomach and can force food up, thereby, causing heartburn. Instead, wear clothes that fit comfortably.

Do not overeat. This only expands the stomach and can increase pressure. This pressure can, in turn, force food up and cause the burning sensation commonly known as heartburn to occur.

As stated above, if you do experience frequent heartburn, you should talk to your doctor to see what can be done. Sometimes it is just a matter of changing a few eating or living habits, but other times, it can be a symptom of another condition that should be treated with medication. Your doctor can conduct a simple test to find out if this is the case, and will then be able to properly treat your condition.

When one thinks of the state of Illinois one of the first cities they will most likely think of is Chicago.

Big cities and big businesses are the first thing that most people are first to associate with the state of Illinois. However, there are still a few villages out there in Illinois.

The village of Monee, Illinois is one of those villages. As of the year 2000 census there were only approximately 3,000 residents in the village.

2008 Michael Myers Halloween Mask

New for 2008, this Michael Myers "The Mask" is great for Halloween. Adult Sized. Latex with attached hair. Nothing scares more people on Halloween night, than Michael.


Two free Kids' Halloween Crafts ideas!

If you can get two big balloons, one white and one black, then your kids will love these imaginative kids' Halloween crafts ideas we have for you to turn them into unusual Halloween toys or decorations.

Cute ghost kids craft idea with a white balloon

If your kids liked Casper the ghost they will enjoy this free kids' craft idea for making an adorable little ghost as a toy or a decoration for a Halloween party. It is very simple and cute.

What you need:

  • A big white balloon
  • Some white plastic grocery bags
  • Clear tape
  • A black marker
  • Blunt ended or rounded scissors

Give the kids some white grocery bags and ask them to cut out strips about an inch wide by about 8 inches long, avoiding any colored parts so that the strips are all white.

Blow up the balloon, tie a secure knot in the neck to prevent the air escaping, and then hang it up with string somewhere the children can reach it easily.

Draw spooky eyes and a mouth on the balloon to make a ghost. Now the kids can stick their white strips of plastic all around the bottom end of the balloon to make a floaty ghost effect. This kid's craft idea makes a great Halloween decoration!

Scary spider Kids Halloween crafts idea with a black balloon

Make a huge black spider for Halloween with this kids' craft idea.

What you need:

  • A big black balloon
  • 4 long, black pipe cleaners
  • Some white-out (liquid paper)
  • A bit of string or yarn

Blow up the balloon so that it is only partially inflated, and tie a knot in it. Then make a twist in it so that you have a big ball and a little ball. The little ball will become the spider's head and should be at the end of the balloon with the opening.

Twist each pipe cleaner around the "neck" of the spider by folding it in half over the balloon and twisting tightly. (Adult help may be needed for this bit as the pipe cleaners have sharp ends that may burst the balloon!) Twist the pipe cleaner in such a way that they resemble the legs of a spider. If you have a careful look at a spider you'll notice that all legs are on the front part of the spider.

Your spider now has eight legs! Fold each leg to make it jointed. Using the white-out, paint scary eyes and fangs on the spider's face.

These balloon crafts are popular and fun free Kids' Halloween Crafts ideas for Halloween parties.

Girls Sassy Pirate Costume

From the Drama Queens collection comes Scar-let, the Sassy Pirate. This child costume includes: pirate dress, underskirt, waist sash, glovelet and vinyl boot covers. Glitter print skull on skirt. Comes in three child sizes. A great, cute costume for girls.


Remember when we were kids and our parents put us in those very popular one piece plastic costumes? What torture. You couldn't breath through the mask let alone see, and God forbid one of your friends pull the mask back and snap it against your face. Then there was the non-breathing plastic one piece suit that tied up in the back. Forget running or lifting your arms or you were sure to put a big rip in it, ruining the rest of your evening for the heartbreak.

Costumes have come a long way since then. There are many different materials and styles to choose from. We no longer have to put our children in a plastic heatbox, but we must also remember we have to keep the children warm. Many of us live in areas where Halloween can be a frosty night where our childrens teeth are chattering while they going door to door. The best thing you can do is make sure you buy the costume big enough to put a full warm wardrobe underneath, but not so big that they are tripping over it. A turtle neck and sweatpants or leggings are a wonderful idea.

Fancy shoes for those princess dresses are a waist, as most kids don't make it three to four houses before the shoes are pinching their feet and they want to take them off. We know what that's like, don't we ladies? Army boots don't let the poor guys ankles bend and they and up crabby and unhappy. Gym shoes are the best, they are safe and comfortable for running house to house.

For infants, a one piece bunting style costume are one of the best ideas. Make sure there are no pieces in the costume that may harm the child. The companies may put the product out there, but it is your job as a parent to make sure it is safe. Don't bother dressing an infant in princess costumes or pirate costumes that will be uncomfortable for them, they will only cry the whole time. Instead think of a nice warm fuzzy animal or a sweat pea. Most of those types of costumes comes with bonnets that will also keep the infants head covered and warm.

Most of the time a toddler has an idea of what they want to be, it's just a matter of guiding them in the right direction so you both will be happy. These little guys and gals are in the in-between stage where the little froggie costume would still be cute, but you could also do the fire fighter or cow girl. Once again remember their comfort and warmth for the long hall around the neighborhood.

Young boys and girls like to look, "Cool for School" and those Halloween parties. Most schools will not allow masks and that's what most of the boys costumes have. In this case a cool fighter pilot or astronaut with official looking nasa patches would be great for your little guy, and an easy to put on princess gown or cheerleader costume would be great for the girls.

What ever size child you have, please make sure they are warm and have a bright enough light with them to keep them safe. People get a little crazy at that time rushing from house to house and driving to neighborhoods they are not familiar with to find that pot of gold for their kids. Keeping them safe is the best thing you can do for them.

Halloween Michael Myers Classic Horror Suspense Movie Sequel Suburban Night Adult Black T-Shirt




After the second week of September, whisper in the air seems to say "trick or treat" while you remember that your children will not like to stay away from Halloween fun. Yes, it is time to buy child costumes. Although many children enjoy designing their own, you may still need to buy items and accessories that their imagination dictates.

There are websites that specialize in holiday costumes so you can find Halloween costumes, Christmas costumes, birthday costumes and more. Mooncostumes.com, as in example, also offers masks, hats, wigs, and decor so you can make of any celebration an incredible fun time. Of course, you must talk to your children to know what they are thinking to wear because some children feel embarrassed when their parents make the choosing decision without asking.

Even though the younger the kid, the more chances that any other than parents have to search among the available child costumes to find one, as younger children realize about the exciting around them but not necessarily understand yet at all what is going at party time.

At any age, make sure that child costumes do not drag on the ground and do not let children use pointed or sharp objects that accidentally can harm them or strike other kids. When it comes to costumes for children, the sky is the limit to find one. In fact, you will soon discover that is easiest you find a costume for your children that make them deciding what he or she likes.

With babies and toddlers, this is not a major problem to deal with, unless you find something really weird or outrageous because your kid will say nothing today, but overtime after browsing the family album and discovering what it could be for you funny pics.

There is a stage in childhood when kids are susceptible to social critique and sometimes are those type of pictures what makes them feel uncomfortable. If your son or daughter is too young to decide by their own, make sure to choose traditional child costumes and avoid the overuse of makeup or accessories.

However, remember that everything is up to the celebration what the costume is for. Halloween is perhaps one of the only holidays of the year in which you can allow yourself choosing more unconventional costumes, otherwise older children will surprise with their ideas about what they will like to wear.

Because kids grow up fast, some communities encourage parents to donate child costumes that your kids will not longer need as a way to recycle this clothing while helping another kids whose parents cannot afford buying one so buying a new costume for your kid is not necessarily a useless expenditure.

MoonCostumes.com is a website at which you can find a wide variety of child costumes, holiday costumes, accessories and more, besides party, magician, and clown supplies to make of your event or celebration a special one.

Erik Aronesty is an expert in providing quality costumes for the entire family.

Rock Legend Elvis Black Adult Mens Halloween Costume

Black Rock Legend Adult Costumes for a Vintage look that will be a huge hit this Halloween!! An Elvis Costume is guaranteed to make this Halloween one to remember!!


Have you ever been a room Mother at school for your child?

This can be lots of fun especially if you use a little bit of creativity with it. For Halloween one year my son's teacher needed a volunteer for being a room Mother to bring in treats and pass them out on the day of the party. I volunteered and made cupcakes...it wasn't anything fancy, but it meant a lot to my son!

I had the best time ever passing the cupcakes out to the kids. After the cupcakes...the kids colored pumpkins on some poster board paper. They used glitter glue, buttons, and yarn to dress their drawings up. I remember walking up and down the rows encouraging each child with their project. It made me feel really good inside being a part of the festivities that day.

Here are a few Halloween recipes for room Mothers to use and bring in to their child's school

Candy Corn Cupcakes

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup water
2 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 ounces melted unsweetened baking chocolate
Candy corn
Halloween paper liners (get them at a party supply store)
Chocolate frosting

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake pans with paper liners.
Combine all ingredients into mixing bowl. Mix at low speed for 30 seconds, and scrape bowl. Mix at high speed for 3 minutes.

Fill liners 1/2 to 2/3 full of batter. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool 10 minutes in pans then remove from pan, and place on wire racks to cool completely.

Frost when chocolate cupcakes are completely cool.

Top with candy corn to make a smiley face

Biscuit Doughnut Treats

Ingredients

1 can of store bought biscuits
Vegetable oil
Deep fryer (sauce pan will work as well)
Chocolate frosting
Orange sprinkles

Directions

Pour vegetable oil in deep fryer. Plug deep fryer in to heat.
Find a small glass or something to cut the biscuits into doughnuts. Don't discard the holes.

Place 2 doughnuts into fryer at a time. Let brown on one side then flip them over. Deep fry until golden. Place doughnuts onto paper towel-lined plate to drain access oil. Deep fry the rest of the doughnuts including the doughnut holes.

When cooled, top doughnuts and holes with chocolate frosting. Top with orange sprinkles.

Black Forest Twinkie Delights

Ingredients

Hostess twinkies
White frosting
Empty food coloring bottle
Red, blue, and yellow food coloring
Orange sprinkles

Directions

Add one third of a bottle equal parts of red, blue and yellow food coloring to the empty bottle...in that order. Secure the lid on the bottle. Shake the black food coloring vigorously so it is mixed. Test the food coloring by putting a couple of drops into a small amount of white frosting.

Mix the black food coloring into the white frosting thoroughly. If you find that the food coloring is not as dark as you like it, add a little more red food coloring to the mixture.

Top the twinkies with the black frosting. Top with orange sprinkles.

Use your creativity to come up with your own recipes as well

Being a room Mom would be an excellent opportunity for you to participate in your child's school experiences as well as their education, and celebrations.

What can go wrong with peanut butter? First, peanut oil can become rancid quickly after the jar is opened. This gives the product a bad taste. Slight rancidity can make the gooey stuff taste like cardboard while a terribly rancid brand has a fishy or painty taste.

Rancidity is usually caused by storage problems. Under normal conditions, peanut butter has a long shelf life provided it is kept in a cool, dry place. But if the peanuts used in filling a jar are bad to begin with, especially when exposed to air, heat or light, you can expect a lousy product.

Still, eating rotten peanuts every now and then is no cause for alarm. Not all peanuts that look bad are actually bad. Those withered, bitter-tasting nuts you chance upon aren't always hallmarks of rancidity. This normally occurs when peanuts are harvested before their time.

One troubling aspect of peanut butter, however, is the aflatoxin scare that first affected the United States and spread to some Asian countries. Several local brands of peanut butter were confiscated by the health authorities after they were found to have high levels of aflatoxin which has been linked to cancer, changes in gene structure and birth defects among others.

Almost overnight, peanut butter's tasty image was tarnished. This highly nutritious and cheap source of cholesterol-free protein suddenly joined the ranks of other cancer-causing substances. And although new stocks of peanut butter were eventually cleared by health authorities, the specter of aflatoxin remains in our midst. Can we still trust peanut butter?

First of all, condemning peanut butter just because it has aflatoxin is not right. After all, this powerful poison naturally occurs in corn, rice and other foods. While most peanut butter including those cleared by food authorities contain aflatoxin, they are harmless because this poison is present only in small amounts. Hence, aflatoxin has long been a part of our daily fare.

How much aflatoxin can we take? The permissible levels vary from country to country and are regulated by government agencies. In the United States, the Department of Agriculture limits levels in peanut products to 15 parts per billion (ppb). Actual levels, however, are much lower.

A study made by Consumer Reports showed that the average level of aflatoxin in several products was only 0.85 ppb. In some Asian countries, the level set by health authorities is 20 ppb. Confiscated products had higher aflatoxin levels and some even reached 100 ppb. Does this mean that those who purchased these products are in danger of dying from liver cancer later?

Not really. For one, the link between aflatoxin and liver cancer has not been fully established yet. Initial studies made in the 1960s appear to support this connection but the chances of contracting liver cancer from peanut butter remain very slim.

"According to the nation's scientists, the risk is insignificant. Although lab rats fed small doses of aflatoxin grew liver tumors, mice given small or even large doses did not. And aflatoxin tests on tissue samples have shown that human livers react to the toxin in much the same way that mouse livers do. If mice can eat aflatoxin without growing tumors it's reassuring news for us," revealed Mary Roach in Hippocrates magazine.

With that in mind, you can safely eat peanut butter and enjoy the magic it brings. Indeed, in taste and nutrition, nothing compares to this gooey and sticky delight.
