Finally Focused {Blogging for Books Review}

February 24, 2018 by Dana

Finally Focused

Little known fact: Not only are we an Epilepsy family but we are also an ADHD family as well. My oldest has always had issues with ADHD and this, along with our younger three’s seizures are one of many reasons why we chose Homeschooling. I’m always looking for new ideas to help him and my other two children who have ADHD as well, find things to manage this disorder. Finally Focused by James Greenblatt, M.D, and Bill Gottlieb, CHC, peaked my interest immediately.

To be honest, in my research, I’ve found that ADHD and Epilepsy mirror each other a great deal. One child gets overwhelmed or stressed and seizes. The other becomes hyperactive and can’t stop themselves or shut down. Both have end results that need assistance.

Finally Focused helps you to find balance. It shows you ways to restore attention. It helps you find ways to minimize your child’s hyperactivity and it helps you eliminate drug side effects when necessary. As a family, we don’t medicate for ADHD but some of these ideas were helpful for our Epilepsy medication side effects.

I’m a believer in treating the disorder naturally with simple and natural methods as much as possible. This book will help you to make that happen. Routine, rest, good diet are all contributors and all discussed within the pages of this wonderful book. You’ll find tons of ideas to use in your own home with your own families.

Finally Focused is available through Harmony Books as well as other retailers. The book sells for $12.99 on Kindle, or $11.55 in paperback on Amazon. This is a must read for all families with an ADHD child.

Busy Again These Days {Thoughts From Me}

November 21, 2013 by Dana

I have taken a few days away from writing blog posts, except for reviews, and I’ve been concentrating on my photography for the past week. I’ve also been working on our family’s tree and doing some much needed housework. The mix of everything has definitely been keeping me busy.

The photos are coming out great and I have several shoots lined up in the next few weeks which will be keeping me very busy now the Crew year has ended. It’s been great learning new things, editing and seeing images “pop” in ways I never expected. I’m finding that I am enjoying taking pictures again.

The family tree has also been fun. I’ve learned so much about our ancestors that I never expected. It’s been interesting to learn where we came from and telling the kids stories I’ve come across about our various ancestors. They’ve enjoyed the history and the family relations as much as I have.

I am excited for all the new ventures in our lives and the Holidays that are coming up as well. It’s a busy but fun life. It’s fulfilling and I find that I’m once again Luv’N Lambert Life.

What to blog, What to blog… {Thoughts From Me}

February 4, 2013 by Dana

What to blog, what to blog? This is a question I often find myself asking. I simply have no clue what to write about at any point when I first begin. Unless I am writing a product review that is.

A product review is a pretty obvious blog post. I am going to tell you about how I used that product, how I liked that product, what I didn’t like and how you can use it. Simple stuff. Easy peasy, as they say.

A normal blog post is not so easy. I have to come up with a topic, an ideal that will capture my readers attention. I must admit, I am not at all good at that! My readers are often my friends and they enjoy hearing about our life and how things are going. But what about those people who just randomly stop in to read my blog?

They want to read something interesting. Something that they can relate to. They don’t want to necessarily hear my ideals, or my opinions on life. They want something substantial to read, just like I do when I’m visiting blogs around cyber space.

So how does one come up with a blog idea? Research? Asking a friend? Stealing the idea off another blog?

I honestly have no clue but I keep chugging on with blogging and trying to come up with something that keeps my blog going and readers interested. And I suppose that is all I can really do.

Until next post…
