The following is a post from our sponsor: EA SPORTS.
EA SPORTS Active helped Michele and her family "get Active" for a healthier lifestyle.
In the last few years, I have struggled with trying to live a healthy lifestyle for me and for my family. I can convince myself of the benefits of working out and eating healthy, but it's much more difficult to convince my family (especially my kids) that eating healthy foods and working out is a lot more fun than eating candy and playing video games.

New Guidelines Advise Less Pap Tests (Here We Go Again)
November 21, 2009 at 8:00 AM by Cafe Kim - Comments (12)
On the heels of this week's mammogram controversy comes new guidelines for cervical cancer screening from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. In a nutshell, here's what it says: Women should delay their first Pap test until age 21, and be screened less often than recommended in the past.
Is anyone else concerned that all these new recommendations are suggesting LESS—not more—cancer screening for women?

New Mammogram Advice Upsets Women Everywhere
November 19, 2009 at 7:30 AM by Cafe Kim - Comments (5)
We weren't the only ones who were upset this week after a government task force announced that most women in their 40s should no longer get routine mammograms; instead, it recommended that regular breast cancer screening start at age 50.
Women (and their doctors) across the country—including here on CafeMom—were confused and uneasy about this dramatic shift in approach to breast cancer detection.
That's why I was so relieved to read despite the new mammogram advice, Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is telling women to "don't change what you do."
