Answer by and_then_isaid
Okay – wraps are hard because the tortilla can sometimes have a lot of fat in it and not a lot of nutrients. I suggest making the sandwhich I used to make before swim practice in high school. It was delicious.

2 slices whole grain bread – per sandwhich
Oven roasted turkey breast
Sliced tomatoes
Lettuce – shredded preferably
Sliced bell peppers
Balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper
Mustard of choice

Take the whole grain bread and toast it. Put a thin slather of mustard on the bottom piece of bread and place a good helping of turkey on top. Sprinkle a little balsamic on top of the turkey – just a 1/2 tsp or so – then top with lettuce, then sliced bell peppers, then the tomatoes. Sprinkle about 1/2 tsp more of balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper on top of it. Top with the other slice of bread and ENJOY! So healthy…get lots of whole grains, none of the fat of mayonnaise. Very filling with the turkey as the protein and the veggies to add volume to the sandwhich. For a side item just cut up some carrot sticks and cucumber sticks and enjoy with your favorite low fat dressing. Growing kids will like this meal and so will you because you can pretty much let them eat more of everything since nothing in it really has that many calories or fat (depending on the dressing you use as a dip). Good luck!

I have never been great at writing. I volunteered to read books and review them for my library’s website — I have a book read, but now comes the hardest part: writing my thoughts up. Anyone have any suggestions?

ANSWER:

Answer by Pamela J
Actually all you have to do is to talk into a tape recorder about the book and then transcribe it onto the computer.

Or…just write it down exactly how you are thinking about it.

You wrote quite a lot in your question, no spelling mistakes, good punctuation, and well worded. I think you are selling yourself short by saying you have never been good at writing. Just do it and you will see how it will just flow out of you. You wouldn’t have volunteered if you hadn’t thought that you could do it.

I have always had very healthy hair and I have only dyed it a few times. I now prefer to leave it at it’s natural color as dyes are not good for your hair. My main concern is that, while my hair is healthy, my sister’s hair is not and she has never dyed her hair. We are both looking for products that can promote healthy hair and keep out hair healthy. Does anyone know of any inexpensive products that do this?

Answer by florida2georgiaguy
The natural oils produced by your hair are very healthy.

It is very bad to wash your hair more than two or three times a week; this removes all the oils and drys it out.

You may also try olive oil, which is very healthy for your hair, and apple cider vinegar.

Answer by Tinita
Well don’t wash it everyday, use a deep conditioner once a week, and use a clarifying shampoo/vinegar rinse every week.

Clarifying shampoos/vinegar rinses remove all dirt and hair product buildup that makes hair look dull. For a vinegar rinse, yes just rinse hair with vinegar. Apple cider vinegar is best but you can use regular vinegar.

Deep conditioners help keep hair conditioned. You can use Cholestorel conditioner which is cheap and great. Natural products are olive oil, mayonaisse, avocado, and egg yolk that you can leave in for about 15-30 minutes, put a showecap on and wrap a warm towel around it then rinse.

Hair is protein, products with protein help rebuild hair. Find any product with protein, silk, or amino acids. You can find a lot of products on sale at drugstores.

If you wanna dye your hair, henna hairdye is great. Bigen make permanent henna hairdye. It doesn’t damage your hair, it coats the cuticle which helps rebuild it.

Make sure if you use hair products that they don’t contain alcohol! It’s extremely drying. For hairgel, you can find a lot of cheap products with protein.

There’s so many things, just do a search and you’ll see!

Answer by Misaki
You do not have to use expensive products to keep your hair healthy.
Healthy hair starts with a good hygien of life.

Like everything else about true, lasting beauty, healthy hair begins within your body. Start with your diet. Include lots of green leafy vegetables and sweet juicy fruits. Dairy products such as milk and fresh yogurt will also help. Fresh coconut is also considered excellent “hair food” – sprinkle grated coconut over salads, diced fresh fruit, or rice.

Cut down on refined, processed and canned foods. Ice-cold beverages also hamper the process of digestion and assimilation of nutrients.

Cooking with certain spices adds flavor to your food and provides nourishment for your hair. Cumin, turmeric and black pepper are some “hair-friendly” spices. Add a healthy pinch of each to single-portion soups and stews as they are cooking.

Stress can be seriously injurious to long-term health and color of hair. Try and manage your time and tasks to minimize time-related pressures. Practice relaxation techniques such as meditation. Get adequate, good quality sleep to help the natural process of rejuvenation.

Stay away from harsh chemical topical products that can damage hair over time. Look for gentle, natural cleansers and conditioners, especially if you wash your hair more than three times a week. Shampoos and conditioners that contain nourishing botanicals are even better. Read labels carefully – sometimes, products that say “herbal” or “natural” can include no-no chemicals.

A warm oil scalp massage two or three times a week will help stimulate and moisturize the scalp. You can use good quality coconut, almond or olive oil. Apply some mildly warmed oil to your hair and gently massage into your scalp evenly with your fingertips. Leave on overnight if you can, if not, leave on for at least an hour or two, then get it out by shampooing your hair. The scalp massage helps you relax and aids sound sleep as well.

Never attack wet hair with a brush, no matter how rushed for time you are. Tangles in wet hair are best removed with a wide-toothed comb. Use a wooden comb if you can find one; it won’t generate static electricity. Excessive blow-drying can damage hair in the long-term, making it brittle and causing split ends. If you can, let your hair dry naturally, then brush into place.

Last, but not least, brushing your hair regularly to stimulate the scalp will keep it looking healthy and lustrous. Brush each night in all directions in turn – left to right, right to left, front to back and back to front Use smooth long strokes from scalp to hair-tips.

All the best!

Ok, so heres the story. . I am 20 years old my husband is 22. He is maintance at our apartment complex for 4 years now and i babysit. Our combined income is 700/ week. Now to me that sounds like alot but its not. Our rent is only 320 b/c he works there. We want to start a family in the next year or two and have a very nice cozy aparment w/ 2 bedrooms and just about everything you could dream of having, computer, big tvs, huge king beds and all new kitchen appliances. My thing is, everyone keeps telling us we are married and we need to have a house before having children. I personally dont want a house, i mean of course i do but i dont want to work 50 hours a week to barelly make my mortage, and not be able to enjoy family time and shopping and having money to spare. Does this sound dumb? I wish my family would get off my back of my husband geting a house for us, i just dont see us getting one if we ever do for atleast another 10-20 years. any1 w/ expierence on apartment living?
I babysit for a family w/ 3 children and the mom and dad bring in about 3000 a week, and live in a 600,000 dollar house, and honestly they seem miserable. They are never home and their kids never see them and the house is sooo dirty its disgusting bc shes never home to clean it, and they basically pay me to watch the baby while the 2 kids are at school. I just dont want to be like that, i’d rather work part time and live in an apartment to be able to spend time w/ my kids and have fun w/ life, also i didn’t graduate from school so i wont be doing much else w/ my life but just getting by. My husband doesnt drive & he dropped out of college bc his financial aid cancelled when he messed up his papers.
thx everyone so far, i am going to get my ged by the next of this year and my husbands looking into going back to school in jan… when it starts up again. & yes i am happy w/ the apartment, theres 7 other houses in our apartment, and one is his dad, one is his best friends, and the others are very very nice people and we all know eachother, and we have parties and everything sooo loud and no1 can even hear us they’ve said next door, and also we are allowed to paint any colors, wallpaper, put new flooring in, basically anything we want since he and his dad and grandpa are the 3 maintance men there. We are going to wait another year to have a child but i want to do it while im young, i really loved growing up with a young mom, his mom was 60 when he was 21 and she passed away a year ago and i just wanna wait till the timing is perfect.

The following is the answer:

Answer by Velken
There is nothing wrong with living in an apartment. I just moved from an apartment where we’d lived (3 kids) for 4 years. Don’t let them bother you. I agree with you that family is tons more important than income and house size. Next time they bother you, change the subject or ignore them. If it works for you and your spouse, other people need to butt out. Not everyone wants the hassle of house repairs, yard maintanance, and a mortgage.

Answer by Chicka
Well no hard feelings but I don’t think having a family should be your first priority right now. You and him are both able to better yourself do to not having children already. You should go get you GED, and go to a community college and work from there. Your husband can always get his financial aide corrected, and I know that for a fact. The education you both have will not support a family comfortably. You can always get a decent job part time. I never cared too much about house, but now that I have a family Apartment living is not the ideal thing. My child doesn’t have a hard to play in, you don’t know all the wierdo’s and their are so many people crammed in to a small area. You know everyone’s buisness. Go back to school. Not to mention in an apt you just through money away… invest it into a house.

Answer by maya
yep i agree with you, you don;t have to buy a house to start a family
& there also some cheap homes to so just relax & take your time, if you see anything nice & cheap then buy it

Answer by Sherb
I was never happy living in an apt. with my children. It was great when we only had one now we have four and live in a house out in the country on a farm. You and your and husband will do fine with the apt. I think you guys should wait a little bit for trying to have kids. You don’t sound dumb, your just telling your family how you feel and believe me you won’t have any extra money when the new baby comes because that money will be used for the baby. Good luck.

Answer by Critter
You’re right. A house and the things money can buy don’t make one happy automatically. Being happy comes more from a realization that what you have is good. If you’re content with where you are as a family then you can stop listening to anyone else’s advice on this issue and make your own choices.

Oh, and we’ve also raised our family in apartments off and on. It’s not a bad life as long as you’re content with it. Buying your own house also doesn’t have to be the stressful experience you’re seeing with the family you know though. Just stay within your means when you’re looking at property. But neither way is more right than the other.

And please encourage your husband to resubmit his papers for financial aid. You can get a much better job with a degree than you can without.

Answer by tjnstlouismo
Stop listening to other people. People who tell you that you need to do certain things to raise children are full of baloney. Children do not care where they are raised, what they care about is being loved, safe, warm, fed and educated. Anyone can be a good parent in any environment, having to have a house is an advertising ploy by the mortgage industry and as we can see with all the home foreclosures, its not for everyone.

Sounds like you have a great arrangement that works for your family, so stick to it. You might find that you need a bigger apartment, babies and children come with so much stuff, you literally will be tripping over it for years. But if you keep the stuff to a minimum and are well organized, you will do just fine.

I raised my girls in two different apartments and I loved them. We only bought a house when they were in high school because my then husband worked for himself and we needed it for tax purposes. Now everyone is gone, even the family dog and I am living in an 8 room, two story house where I haven’t even been on the second floor in 6 months. Not to mention everyone stores what they don’t want in my basement. I’d love to sell it and move but the housing market is horrible here for sellers.

Do what you want for your family. Part of being a grown up is making up your own mind. Btw, my daughters, raised in an apartments, are now graduate students working on their Masters, working fulltime jobs and are really nice well adjusted young women. You won’t regret it, good luck.

After reading some of the other answers, I wanted to add my two cents. You need to get your GED and try to go to community college. You will be a much better parent if you don’t feel stupid raising your kids. A parent who feels that they aren’t as smart as their kids loss their self esteem and that effects their parenting. You don’t have to be a lawyer or a doctor, but if something happens to your husband (my dad died when he was 25, it happens), you need a way to support them and yourself. And your husband needs to go to financial aid or his counselor at school and ask them to help him straighten his paperwork out. That’s what they are there for, its their job. He needs to be able to support a family and he will feel better about it if he has a decent job with benefits. What happens if you have a special needs child and no health insurance? Those are the kind of things that happen in life and you have to be prepared. Please wait on the kids, get your ducks in a row first so that you can be a really good mom cause you feel good about what you have to offer to your kids. I was 30 and never regretted waiting.

Answer by Scarlett
I lived in apartments for years, and had 3 kids. 5 of us plus a dog lived in a 900 sq ft 3 BR apt, and it was nice. We were a little strapped for space, but where we lived it was all we could afford. I wanted a house so bad. We finally got one 2 years ago and though it’s nice to have a yard and all, I will admit that I miss being in an apartment.
Having the situation you have, a nice apartment, low rent, you are already staying home and making money, I wouldn’t change a thing. Wait until your family outgrows your apartment – and then maybe just get a bigger one.
A HOUSE doesn’t make a family! It doesn’t make you more married. Apartment living works for some people. Don’t let your family talk you into something you don’t want. It’s not like they will be the ones paying your mortgage!
Good luck!

Answer by undone
There is nothing at all wrong with living in an apt. with a family. You dont need a house. True. My only suggestion would be to maybe further your education before you have a child. Here is why. If for some reason, your hubby loses his maint. job, your family will have something of a safety net to fall into. I know from experience that relying on one person is risky. ( like what if he is injured or gets fired). You could get a fast education ( before a baby) in something that would allow you to get a job if you had to. But still stay home with your babies and have a happy life. Just have a safety net for you and your kids ( and hubby too). But as for living in an apt., nothing wrong with it. People do it all the time. good-luck )
