Maddie made it on the homepage of Caston Ballet website! Can you find her? Hint: She's got wings.
Caston Ballet is a beautiful company that is known for teaching
supermodel Karlie Kloss and many other talented dancers in the ST. Louis area of Webster Groves.
This summer, Maddie performed in the "Trip to Neverland" production with the Caston company and it was a great show. For more information on Caston Ballet, click here...

Great Grandmother Jo, and Great Grandfather Sebastian Strubhart. My great grandmother was a designer. She made dresses and my mother has her old sewing machine and bodice to this day. My grandmother, Betty-May Strubhart would go to school everyday in beautiful clothes that her mother had designed from old fabric or left over material from her work. All the kids would think she was rich from her clothes, eventhough they were not.

Here is a great video that helps me with my bad wrists easing my breath deep and strong. Get sexy shoulders and do this when you feel comfortable:)
Happy Birthday Morgan-Rose Marie Matthews! July 30, 2011 She turned four and together with four other young Cake Bosses in the making, we created the most amazing "Under the Sea" Castle Cake fit for Ariel, Flounder and all her fellow mermaids!
Our five professional child decorators: Maddie, Zoe, Macy, Morgan, and Lily worked diligently painting icing on cones with selected sprinkle toppings and iced a leaning castle cake full of blue, green, pink, and purple icing! The Cake Bosses finished the creation with Starburts, jelly fish, lemon drops, and jelly beans to create the appearence of the cake being under the water.
Great job girls!
Morgan-Rose Happy 4th birthday beautiful girl!!!

Here is a 10 minute De-Stress Yoga routine that helps me relax and focus on the task at hand. I hope you enjoy!
I first found Tara Stiles on her Podcasts. After years of pilates and other yoga instructors I have to say she is my favorite and SO kind to publish an array of free tips and yoga videos. I love these because I often do not have an entire chunk of time at one time so these 6,7, and 8 minute videos are perfect for a mother on the go like me! I hope you enjoy this Morning Yoga for Flexibility video. Be sure to check back here at BelleStyle Family for more short videos.
In memory of our Athena, who was taken away from us at just over 2 years old. Healthy and strong but stricken with a growing disease called SAS or chronic heart failure in young rottweilers which causes sudden death. We have so many questions and the more we research the more saddened we become to learn that this tragedy has happened over and over again to families in America.
"often the ONLY symptom that a dog had SAS is sudden death" -rotweiler.net
We can stop this disease if we stand up to breeders who allow females that have the carrier for the gene to continue to have sick pups. If the mother has it, all her babies do and little is know how to test or find the disease until the young dog suddenly dies.
Please help us and share this video with your friends and family. Talk about it with your potential breeder, so that one day every puppy is born healthy.
Our Athena was gone too soon, but it's not too late to help other puppies.
Thank you.

It's summer and what does Boom Boom have in store? Six Flags theme park. It's our first time at an amusement park and time on rides. Morgan can't go on the Log Flume, she might get wet. But the fountains, they are another story. We'll have bright pink ice cream and neon green mint chocolate chip. We will go during tornado warnings and never have to get off the rides due to being the only ones there. We will spend some quality time with our one and only Boom Boom. Big Girls Eat Brussles Sprouts, and get to be alone with Grandpa at Six Flags. Yay!
We just wanna make the WORLD dance:)
My first baby, my puppy Murphy debuted on Funny or Die this week. Vote for him as "Funny" after you watch this video.
I love this dog!
Considering all the places someone can get cancer, makes you wonder, why don't we ever get heart cancer? One interesting theory is the heart is the most electrical organ in the human body. The heart cells have a voltage of 120 mV and, in some cases, slightly higher. This is almost twice the voltage of some of the other cells in the average person. PEMF acts as a "whole-body battery charger" by recharging EACH of the 70 trillions cells in your body. Though it's impossible to charge your cells as high as the heart, we can raise the voltage of the cells in your body up 70 mV or to 110 mV in the case of high-activity athletes. In most average people you can expect to get between 70 mV to 90 mV.
PEMF acts like a spark, ignition, or impulse that keeps the cells charged at an ideal voltage. Just like a car, the human body needs fuel, oxygen and ignition, a spark-plug. Within the human body that spark is pulsed magnetic fields. All metabolic processes are driven by this cellular charge: ATP production, oxygen, nutrient absorption, waste removal, defense, reproduction.
When your cells are sick, they lose energy. As a result there is not enough ATP, and the voltage of your cells drops down to 40-50 mV. People who are sick potentially have voltages as low as 20mV (in the case of cancer). Cancer cells typically have a voltage of 20mV and are in fermentation, meaning they need ten times (10x) more energy from the
environment.
PEMF builds up energy within your cells; it oxygenates and alkalizes the cells. PEMF improves circulation so the conversion of nutrients and oxygen inside the body can occur at optimum performance. PEMF increases the efficiency with which your body processes and expels waste matter and keeps your system running smoothly.
Physics is rapidly becoming mainstream medicine now being used in treating Glioblastoma with electricity. Personally I prefer Pulse Electro Magnetic therapy but this news is the beginning of a new understanding in medicine about physics, which I predict will lead to many exciting things like NeuroStar TMS Therapy(r). The official website for information about NeuroStar TMS Therapy is www.neurostartms.com.
This NEUROSTAR PEMF DEVICE is substantially like the one I am using to treat myself (PEMF.US/info) but the NEUROSTAR is already FDA approved. It is in use today at UCLA, Stanford and Yale but so far only approved for unresponsive Depression. But I am sure that those centers will soon start to explore the use of PEMF devices in everything from autism to Parkinson's disease. However, many of those involved probably will be unaware that these PEMF devices are similar to the PAPIMI device used in Greece for years for treating cancer.
This is a major breakthrough for the first time a cancer treatment that does not help kill you and PEMF generates microelectric currents and also magnetic fields so will do more than this newly approved treatment.
In addition to this exciting story about a new treatment for brain cancer, there is another logical explanation for why PEMF is doing so much good for anyone. This involves again electric charge like the newly approved FDA device for brain cancer, which is already obsolete when anyone studies why PEMF does all the healing it has been proven to do for years. Everyone agrees that if your fracture has never healed, even years later PEMF turns on the healing power of the body and the fracture finally can heal. Now combine that with my FIGHT program and be prepared for miraculous healing, as I am enjoying.

Vintage photos ALWAYS inspire me. Sometimes we just want to look into history and see the past.
These are some old family photos of my grandmother, grandfather, and great grandmother and great grandfather, their children and friends. Location? I think South City St. Louis, Mo.
The only way, to make me stay, is if you keep me warm so I can stay this way.
Maddie-ann is 5. Maddie ann is strong. Maddie-ann is an artist. Maddie ann loves to work with oil pastel, watercolor, and cryons. She enjoys watching BrainPop on the iPad. She wants to get her own email. She's deciding the name. Maddie Ann wishes she could hold the wild animals in the garden. She loves to watch flowers grow. She loves to swing. Underdog knowledge a must.

Remembering Bella.
This video was sent to me to get the word out about the Neuro Film Festival. I am crying hysterically. Part in pain for the family that lost their daughter to a rare brain syndrome called: Walker Warburg Syndrome. Part in gratitude for healthy births of all the babies I know especially my own. As a mother first, I know that my greatest fear would be if something happened to my children. Let's put our heads together and support brain research.
