TheMotherStucker

Have a wonderful Mother’s Day and be sure to check out what’s new @TheMotherStucker!

This freshly pressed blog is updated daily with the best hints and latest buzz in household cleaning and home organization. Surely you have heard the adage — housework is some-thing you do that nobody notices until you don’t do it. Not @TheMotherStucker! Your efforts will certainly be recognized when you check out product trials, video tutorials, free give-aways, interactive polls and upcoming events @TheMotherStucker.

Check out the May Updates @TheMother-Stucker including:

... 8 Steps to a Sparkly Jetted Tub1. Check manufacturer instructions and clean-er labels to make sure the cleaners won’t hurt your tub.2. Fill the tub approximately 3 inches above the highest jets with hot water. 3. Add 1/4 cup of a low-foaming disinfectant (such as powdered dishwasher detergent) to the water. Calgonite or Cascade powder are good choices.4. Add 1/2 cup of household bleach to the wa-ter. If bleach is not advised, use 1 cup of white vinegar instead.5. Run the jets for 10-15 minutes. Set the jets to the highest pressure.

6. Drain the tub & refill it with cold water.7. Run the jets for another 10 minutes as a rinse. 8. Drain the tub and wipe clean with a soft cloth. Repeat cleaning as necessary.

... Product TrialReady to Use Orange Plus is a natural orange oil all-purpose cleaner from Earth Friendly Products. Safe to use on any washable surface, I love the results on my oven top and hood, countertops, tile & sinks. The product is not tested on animals and is free of 1, 4 Dioxane, Formaldehyde, Petrochemicals, GMO’s, Phos-phates, Chlorine and Ammonia. It is 100 per-cent biodegradable, pH neutral. Get it at Earth Friendly Products/For Love of the Planet www.efpclean.coom, www.ecos.com, or 1-630-595-1900 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. central time, M-F.

... HOT Car Care Tips1. Freshen up – To rid stale odors from the ven-tilation ducts, try spraying odor eliminator into the system’s air intake, which is usually located at the base of the windshield. Then run the air conditioner full blast for at least 10 minutes.2. Use baby wipes on car dashboards; they clean like new and leave an anti-static layer.3. For detail cleaning on the dashboard, the best thing to use is a soft paintbrush. It gets into all the grooves .4. A big old soft sock makes a perfect hand mitt for buffing the wax on your car.5. When your windshield starts blurring when you turn the wipers on, dampen a cloth or rag with some full-strength white vinegar and run it down the full length of each blade once or twice.

Disclaimer: Christy Stucker could be the most reluctant and unmotivated cleaner on the planet. The only reason you will ever see her scrubbing or sweeping is when company is expected at The Stucker homestead. Therefore TheMother-Stucker needs cleaning products that effectively unsoil all the filthy atrocities committed by her pre-teen, toddler, frenchie pug and handsome hubby. Speaking of looking good, Christy is a former Mrs. Kentucky America (2009) and Mrs. U.S. of A Globe (2005). You should see the mess she leaves on the bathroom counter after a face make-up application. Enjoy the blog and know Christy continues to do the dirty work so you can find the best cleaning products avail-able! www.TheMotherStucker.wordpress.com & [email protected]

The Lexington Affiliate of Susan G. Komen has granted over $300,000 to 14 Kentucky--based organizations funding lifesaving, screening, patient navigation, treatment support and treatment programs. Since the affiliate’s inception in 1996, Komen Lexing-ton has helped fund over $1.5 million for local programs, funding potentially lifesav-ing services for the underserved and the uninsured men and women. “Komen Lexington is extremely proud to provide these local organizations with funding for their programs,” said Jennifer Bricking, executive director for Komen Lexington. “Each one of these programs helps close the disparity gaps and provides access to quality care for men and women with the greatest need in our 58 counties across Kentucky.”

A big portion of the Lexington affiliates funding will be geared toward outpatient services along with patient navigation. Pa-tient navigation is defined as a service that provides breast health education and guid-ance to patients, families and caregivers to make informed decisions while collaborat-ing with a multi-disciplinary team to ensure timely breast cancer screening, diagnosis, treatment and supportive care. It ensures that no person is lost in the healthcare sys-tem and it is one way Komen Lexington is addressing the alarming mortality dispari-ties facing Kentucky’s men and women.

The organizations receiving one-year grants from Komen Lexington are as follows: Kentucky Pink Connection, Lexington Fayette County Health Department, King’s Daughters Medical Center, Saint Elizabeth Medical Center, North Central Area Health Education Center, American Cancer Soci-ety Hope Lodge, Saint Joseph Breast Center, Saint Claire Regional Appalachian Breast Care Program, Madison County Health Department, Kentucky Woman’s Cancer Screening Program, Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital, Saint Joseph Martin Hospital, Pattie A. Clay Regional Medical Center and Marcum &Wallace Memorial Hospital.

Greenbrier Golf & Country Club has partnered with Edythe J. Hayes Middle School to create an after-school golf club.

The club consists of sixth and seventh grade stu-dents of varying ability levels who have a desire to learn about and improve their golf swing. School counselor Alan Ford jumped at the opportunity to sponsor the club and attends each event as a repre-sentative from the Fayette County Public School System.

The EJ Hayes Golf Club is the vision of Greenbri-er Golf & Country Club General Manager Kelly Williams. Williams, who is a PGA member and avid golfer, sees an outstanding opportunity to grow the game of golf through the school system.

“Golf is a game that children can play into adult-hood all the way through retirement. Soccer, baseball, basketball — those games all become physically more difficult with age, whereas golf

can be played by all ages,” she said.

The game also teaches many life lessons, which are being emphasized through the program.

“We aren’t just teaching kids to swing a golf club; we are teaching them how to conduct themselves on a golf course, which ties into life skills and strong moral values,” she said.

The EJH golf club meets twice per week for six consecutive weeks at Greenbrier, though the month of May. Each week includes a play day and a practice day. Play days are designed to group students together to play golf in a team format. Practice days are designed to give the kids hands-on instruction from Greenbrier’s staff of PGA professionals.

“This idea came together quickly, and we are excited at the support received from the staff at EJHMS. We are thrilled to have over 20 students participating in our first season. It is exciting

to think of the potential for the EJH golf club in seasons to come,” Williams said. “It would be fantastic to see our program blossom city-wide and introduce more students to the game of golf.”

About Greenbrier Golf & Country ClubGreenbrier Golf and Country Club is the premiere private club in the region, offering members the finest in services and amenities — casual dining, a comfortable clubhouse, swimming, family ori-ented activities, plus a 19-acre lake for fishing.

Throughout the year, Greenbrier plans a full calen-dar of social and golf activities for all ages. Facili-ties may be reserved for private business or social receptions and dinner parties. A fully equipped golf shop serves the golfer and that special gift buyer. A championship golf course and practice facilities including a practice range, putting green and short game area, played host to the Kentucky Open three times in the Club’s 40 year history, most recently in 1999.

Courtyard South Hamburg in completes major lobby renovation

Marriott International, Inc. (NYSE:MAR) announced that the 90-room Courtyard by Marriott South located at 1951 Pleas-ant Ridge Drive in Lexington has com-pleted a major renovation of its lobby. The hotel now features the brand’s new refreshing business lobby concept, de-signed to give travelers the flexibility to work and socialize however they choose while on the road.

“From day one, Courtyard has prided it-self as a brand that listens to what travel-ers want from a hotel,” said Janis Milham, vice-president, Global Brand manager, Courtyard by Marriott. “Guests want more control and choice with services and amenities that create a healthy bal-ance between working and relaxing. We redefined the Courtyard lobby so it invites guests to get out of their rooms to work, socialize or for entertainment, whether traveling alone or with colleagues.”

The open, bright and contemporary new Courtyard hotel lobby welcomes guests with vivid contrasting colors, including blue, green, orange and red. The tradi-tional front desk is replaced with separate welcome pedestals to create more personal and private interactions when guests check in. This will allow staff to move about to show guests the lobby features and provide assistance. Flexible seating options range from a communal table in the middle of the action to more private media booths with high-definition televisions, to a more intimate, semi-enclosed lounge area.

A signature element of the new lobby is the exclusive GoBoard® technology, a 52-inch LCD touch-screen packed with local in-formation, maps, weather, news, business

and sports headlines. Guests can navigate using the touch-screen to find restaurants, local attractions and directions.

Guests can connect to free WiFi and there are ample electrical outlets throughout the lobby to power digital devices. The enlarged business library features sev-eral complimentary computer terminals along with a free printer and separate computer stations dedicated to print-ing airline boarding passes and checking flight status.

Dining has been completely redesigned with The Bistro – Eat. Drink. Connect. which offers casual, flexible seating; easier access to food and higher quality, healthier menu options for breakfast; and light evening fare, including snacks, wine and beer so guests can unwind. The Mar-ketTM — a 24/7 shop for snacks, bever-ages and sundries — is always open for late-night cravings or the toothpaste you forgot to pack.

Green has been Courtyard’s signature color since Marriott launched the brand 25 years ago. Now it is even greener with the introduction of a guest recycling pro-gram for the environment. Receptacles for paper, glass, plastic and metal will be conveniently located by side exits.

Before teaching in higher education, Smith worked for Host Com-munications with the Corporate Partner Program through the NCAA and helped develop a marketing strategy for The Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders As-sociation (TOBA).

She lives in Lexington with her 13-year-old son Bryce and enjoys being involved in his academic and athletic pursuits.

Board of Health chooses 2012 Public Health

Heroes Award winners The Lexington-Fayette County Health Department’s Board of Health has select-ed Vickie Blevins and Jay McChord as the 2012 Public Health Heroes. The award is given annually to individuals who have demonstrated their dedication to improv-ing the health of Lexington residents. The awards are given each April as part of Na-tional Public Health Week (April 2-8). Blevins is the program director of Ken-tucky Pink Connection, a non-profit organization that helps link women to the screening, diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Now in its fourth year, the program has helped more than 3,000 women. Blevins is active at health fairs and shares information about breast can-cer options at health departments, hos-pitals, doctors’ office, community events and fundraisers. She has also been part of a grassroots group developing a plan for a mobile mammography van for central and eastern Kentucky. McChord, who represents the 9th Dis-trict on the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council, helped create the 2nd Sunday program, which encourages all forms of physical activity in an effort to promote better health. The event began in June 2008 with the participation of 70 counties and grew to 115 counties in 2010. McChord also created the Health-ways Task Force to help Lexington and other communities understand how to build trails to achieve better health. In a four-year span, he helped raise more than $15 million to build more than 15 miles of trails in Lexington. McChord is also one of the creators of the Lega-cy Trail, a nine-mile trail connecting downtown Lexington to the Kentucky Horse Park. Blevins and McChord were recognized at the April 9 Board of Health meeting held at the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department.

A large crowd of supporters attended a political fund-raiser for Republican Sen-ator Mitch McConnell April 20 at Forcht Bank in Hamburg.

The event was held to raise funds for Sen-ator McConnell’s 2014 re-election cam-paign. McConnell is currently the Senate republican leader, having held that posi-tion since 2006. He was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1984.

He made history that year as the first Republican to win a statewide Kentucky race since 1968. His re-election victory in 2008 is also one for the record books; he won nearly 1 million votes, the most ever received for a Kentuckian in a statewide race.

McConnell graduated with honors from the University of Louisville and is also a graduate of the University of Kentucky

College of Law. Before his election to the U.S. Senate, he served as judge-executive of Jefferson County from 1978 to 1984.

He currently serves as a senior member of the Appropriations, Agriculture and Rules Committees, and is married to Elaine Chao, who served as former Presi-dent George W. Bush’s secretary of labor.

Studies show that making breakfast a daily habit can help you lose weight - and keep

it off.Most mornings we’re in such a hurry that

we barely glance at the kitchen. Preparing breakfast takes up precious time that’s in short supply. But there’s evidence that shows the simple act of eating breakfast every day is an important part of losing and maintaining weight.

We often skip breakfast thinking we’re cut-ting calories, but by mid-morning and lunch, we feel starved. As a result, we’ll try to replace those calories during the day with mindless nibbling or binge eating at lunch or dinner. We are setting ourselves up for failure.

THE BEnEFiTS OF BREakFaSTEating breakfast needs to be a daily habit.

It is especially helpful for those who are try-ing to lose weight.

A group of researchers analyzed data from a government-funded study that followed more than 2,000 young girls from ages 9 to 19. They found that regular breakfast eaters had fewer weight problems than infrequent breakfast eaters. Those who ate breakfast occasionally had a 13% higher risk of being overweight compared to the regular breakfast eaters.

Another research group analyzed govern-ment data on 4,200 adults. They found that regular breakfast eaters were more likely to exercise regularly. And women who ate breakfast regularly tended to eat fewer calo-

ries overall during the day. Those men and women who ate breakfast had lower overall fat intake, compared to those who did not eat breakfast.

It makes sense: eating early in the day keeps us from binge eating later on. But it also jump-starts our metabolism. When we don’t eat breakfast, we’re actually fasting for 15 to 20 hours, so our bodies do not produce the enzymes needed to metabolize fat and allow us to lose weight.

THE SMaRT BREakFaSTIf breakfast is the most important meal of

the day when we’re losing weight, it’s best to make wise food choices. That’s where protein enters the picture. A good protein source pro-vides the natural energy our bodies need to start the day. It will also help curb unneces-sary hunger until later in the morning.

Carbohydrates should also be limited for breakfast. When carbs are consumed, most of them turn into sugar in the bloodstream. This increases the insulin level and makes us feel hungrier. Eating too many carbs can lead to fatty liver disease and diabetes.

SMaRT BREakFaST MaDE SiMPlEBreakfast DOESN’T need to be elaborate:

the simpler, the better. High protein meal re-placement shakes are a great substitute for a quick and effortless breakfast. Keep premixed shakes in the refrigerator and grab one on your way out the door in the morning. Keep this ratio in mind: for every 15 grams of pro-

tein, make sure there are less than 5 net carbs (total carbs minus fiber), and 100 calories or less. It is recommended to have around 300 calories each morning for breakfast. Other great breakfast options may include eggs, low-carb peanut butter, bacon, fresh veggies, cottage cheese, low-carb yogurt, and cheese sticks.

As for the much-beloved bagel, sadly, it’s the calorie equivalent of five slices of bread. A plain bagel will turn into more than 8 tea-spoons of sugar in your bloodstream, which is comparable to a 12oz can of Mountain Dew.

One quick and easy breakfast suggestion is the baggie omelet . All you need is 1/4 cup of egg beaters, 1 tsp of shredded cheese and chopped vegetables of choice. Put all ingre-dients in a snack-size baggie and microwave for about a minute (times may vary.) When finished, it will come out looking and tasting like an omelet.
