ʘʘ Understanding Healthy Breasts ʘʘ

Comments (10)
In order to understand breast cancer, women need to have some basic knowledge as to what is normal in regards to their breasts. Therefore, this post entails a bit of helpful information in understanding the structure and make up of a healthy female breast. The female breast is made up mainly of lobules (milk-producing glands), ducts (tiny tubes that carry the milk from the lobules to the nipple), and stroma (fatty tissue and connective tissue surrounding the ducts and lobules, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels) (ACS, 2009).

I have expressed my love for this site numerous times. I am constantly amazed by the awesomeness that is CafeMom. I have often read sad stories and sent out prayers for those I've never met... but have stumbled across during a time of need. Always wanting to do what little I could- never realizing that it would come back in my favor.My mother and step-father were in a horrible accident Sunday, August 16th. Both my mother and I are members of CM and are in a few groups together. After the accident, I immediately came to my closest online mom friends for support. You have no idea how great it...

I am one of those girls that takes her music very seriously.I love music, actually, I love good music. Music that touches my soul and makes me want to sing along. Not all music can do that, and there is a lot of music today written and played just for the sake of making money... which is sad. Real talent and hard work should be rewarded in this field and stands apart from the rest.I am bi-polar and music has always played an important part of my personality.

My husband called tonight just before I was getting ready to make dinner to let me know that he wasn't sure when he was coming home and to eat with out him.Mind you- I am grumpy and irritable and did I mention, grumpy? I sure the hell wasn't going to be making tacos, which HE wanted for dinner, for 3 kids that DIDN'T want tacos for dinner. I was not in the mood for entertaining them any further. Thus, we loaded up and I took them to the nearestplay-place. Of course, it was raining out today so it couldn't be the nice park down the road... we had to go to McDonald's. :0) We eat, I...

The Need to Talk

Comments (29)
Since the beginning of time, women have needed to talk. While passing the time while sewing, crafting supplies, or birthing a child- women have worked together. The idea of a village comes from the idea of women working together in order to make life happen.Today, we no longer live in villages. We live worlds apart from even our families and friends.
