Exercise should be an important part of everyone’s day, but if you are having trouble falling asleep when it’s time for bed, try not to exercise within two to three hours of bedtime. Working out first thing in the morning will give you the most sleep benefits according to recent studies. Aim for at least 30 minutes a day and break that up if necessary. 10-minute walks three times a day is better than nothing at all!

On the Go!
If your diaper bag or toddler bag is like the bottomless pit and you can’t seem to find your keys or favorite lip gloss when you need it fast. Consider designating one compartment or pocket for just your things. That way when you walk out of the grocery and the sun blinds you, you can close your eyes, reach into your bag and know right where to find your sunglasses!

TOSS

‘Us teachers have voted to strike’?

Have you often felt confused by such a choice? Or perhaps had a debate with a friend or family member over which version is correct?

Well, here’s the answer:

The correct version is: ‘We teachers have voted to strike.’

Why? I’ll tell you.

If you take out the word, ‘teachers’, which is perfectly feasible in this example, you would not then say: ‘Us have voted to strike.’

The difference is ‘we’ is a subjective pronoun, acting as the subject of a sentence (like ‘I’, ‘she’ and ‘they’) whereas ‘us’ is an objective pronoun, which acts as the object of a sentence (just like ‘her’, ‘him’ and ‘them’).
