The world’s smallest baby went home last week. Rumasia Rahman was born at 25 weeks gestation. She weighed less than a can of soda and was no bigger than a cell phone! We’re thrilled that this little girl survived and has now been released from the hospital! But, this really hits home the need for the prevention of pre-term birth. This show is brought to you by FullTerm. Our song is Has it Ever Been by Bryon Friedman. Thanks to Dixie for sponsoring our show! Be sure to listen to the children’s dental health tip at the end of the show! This tip is brought to you by OralB!

Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Mary Morris. Mary is one of the featured models of the Dove ProAge campaign. Perhaps you have heard of it? Dove searched for regular women – not professional models to be featured in this new campaign. They found several women who are the essence of beautiful aging. They have a glow from within and without. What is so unusual about this campaign is that these average women (with regular bodies) appear to be nude – tasteful photos taken by Annie Liebovitz. Mary is 64 and the grandmother of 5. And…..her Dove picture is currently on a billboard in Times Square! We think this campaign is great! Thanks to Dove for making this interview possible. And thanks to Dixie for sponsoring our show!

We have the pleasure of speaking with Ingrid, mother of 3. Ingrid has a daughter with Rett Syndrome. There are just a handful of disorders that only affect females. Breast cancer is the most prevalent. Rett Syndrome is just as devastating, and affects a potential one in 5,000 girls. Ingrid is a brave mom with a wonderfully hopeful spirit. We learned so much in speaking with her! Be sure to visit Ingrid’s website, GirlPower2Cure.org for more information on Rett Syndrome and the Dress Up 2 Cure fundraiser coming up on April 1! Our song is from a special CD for Rett Syndrome. Proceeds from the sale of the CD go to Rett Syndrome Research. You can find it on the GirlPower2Cure.org website. We play Parachute Girl by Roger Day. This show is brought to you be Adeza creators of FullTerm. Remember, February is Children’s Dental Health Month. Be sure to listen for tip #3 from OralB.

We’re home with the kids again. Three days of no school. Its not the snow that is causing the problem. Its the four inches of solid ice on the neighborhood streets that are keeping the school buses away. Oh, well! Paige is at home with her kids going a bit stir crazy. Gretchen’s kids have disappeared into the basement. We’re coping the best we can! Thanks to Dixie for sponsoring our show! Remember, February is Children’s Dental Health Month!
