Motherhood is definitely the hardest job in the world. The clock never stops, it’s 24/7 365 no days off! Taking care of your children requires you to cook, clean, discipline and every other thing in between with no breaks, no time off and no quitting! This job can become so overwhelming and many people who haven’t been through it, just don’t get how hard tiring it can get. Now imagine having multiple kids and watch how quick your hours and amount of work per/day exponentially increase. With all that being said let’s just take a moment, to appreciate all the hardworking moms out there, grinding every single day to give their children a better life than they had!
This now brings us to today’s story, featuring a hardworking mother of named Rachel Brinley. Rachel has 3 amazing children and a husband name Ryan who has a high-stress job which keeps him in the office basically at all times! This leaves Rachel at home doing all the mothering for most of the week on her own. With that being said, when Ryan is home he helps as much as he can, but he has to take care and provide for his family and the old work schedule just doesn’t allow him any time off.
One morning Rachel noticed that the lawn was looking unkempt, messy and way too over grown. While mowing the lawn is usually dad’s favorite chore, he was so slammed at work that he just couldn’t find a spot in his busy schedule to cut it. Mom’s 2 older kids were busy getting their little brains filled with knowledge and wisdom at school. Her youngest was only 4 months at the time so she had her hands full. The sun was shining, a cool breeze was blowing and the temperature was just perfect. She decided she would mow the lawn and bring her adorable 4 month old to get some fresh air in those baby lungs.
She picked up the babe put her in a baby carrier which went over her shoulders and held the baby on her chest comfortably. She grabbed the lawn mower and began mowing the tall grass. She had been cutting the grass for 10-20 minutes when she looked up with complete surprise as a police officer had pulled into his driveway with the lights on! She thought was she breaking a law? Did she do something wrong? Was her husband okay? Did Ryan break the law? She didn’t know but her mind was running a mile a minute as time seemed too slow to a screeching halt.
The cop opened his door, stepped out and slowly walked towards her. She asked him if everything was okay and he assured her nothing was wrong and everything was in fact okay. He explained he was driving by, saw a mom working her butt off, with a baby strapped to her and thought he could do a solid, pay it forward and help her out by mowing the lawn for her! Rachel was still in shock, thinking that she broke a law or something happened to her husband, but she got her wits about her and told the officer of course he could!
She went inside to grab a nice cool drink for the officer and took a photo with her phone because she knew nobody would believe this. The policeman finished the lawn in record time and Rachel was so thankful for his help. Her faith in humanity was restored she thought, wow there are still good people out there!
That night she posted her pic on social media with the whole story captioned. She just wanted people to know how great law enforcement and sheriffs department was in her town. She never thought in a million years her picture would go mega viral on the internet. Everyone was so moved by this small special deed and it hit everyone right in their heart strings!
This story is a great reminder to everyone out there, that no matter how bad things get and how scary the world seems, there are still wonderful and good people out there doing good deeds. So if you ever see someone who you could help it would probably be a good idea for you to pay it forward! đ

These Are The 10 Secret Tricks and Food Scams They Use To Keep Stealing Your Hard Earned Money!
image via – shutterstock.com
When it comes to food, we all like to think that we are in control of the choices we make when itâs time to eat. Â But before you even take a bite of a burger you ordered or reach into a bag of chips; youâve already been influenced by certain tricks that food sellers have come to rely on. Â
Across the food industry and at every level there are food scams being played out. Restaurants, bars, grocery stores, manufacturers, and major companies all want to make the most money possible. Â If pulling a higher profit means using psychology and how people think against them, then so be it.
Your best defense against falling victim to food scams is to be familiar with the most common types. Â The following list goes over some of the most widespread ones that any consumer is likely to come across: Â
1) Overpricing. Â Many dining establishments will place the most expensive item at the top of the menu so itâs the first one you see. Â As you scan down the menu it makes everything else looks cheaper in comparison and youâre more likely to choose a less pricey option, even if it is only a dollar or so less. Â This is so widespread thereâs a special name for it called âanchoring.â
2) Portion Illusions. Â The goal here is to make you think youâre getting a great deal for what youâre paying. Â Whether through advertising or plate size, businesses will try their best to make it look like a lot more than it is. Â Oftentimes careful comparison of packaging, weights, and sizes will show that you really arenât getting much more than what youâre made to think.
3) Free Snacks While You Wait. Â Those complimentary bowls of peanuts, chips and salsa, or baskets of bread that you sometimes get before a meal are meant to make you thirstier and therefore more likely to buy another drink or two.
4) Bar Glasses. Â The shape and thickness of a glass can greatly alter how much it can hold. Â Bars often use thicker glassware and fill them up with ice before making a drink. Â This gives the illusion of a brimming full drink, but the reality is the customer is only getting three-quarters, or just half, of what they thought they were paying for. Â Always ask for light or no ice to ensure you get your monies worth.
5) Portion Sizes. Â Ever opened a bag of chips only to have a blast of air puff out in your face, and then when you reach into the bag itâs only filled a quarter of the way? Â Filling bags like this is a common trick and many companies actually reduce the amount of product they put in them very slowly over time so that consumers donât notice, and they save money. Â Â Â
6) Misleading Visuals. Â All those fast food commercials you see with perfect looking, steaming fresh food that make your mouth water are created specifically to bait you into the store. Â We all know once we get there that the burgers are smushed and the food looks nothing like what was portrayed on TV, yet many of us fall for the advertisements anyways.
7) Best-By and Sell-By Dates. Â Grocery stores will place food products with the nearest sell-by date at the front shelf because most customers grab whatever is closest. Â Since the food expires sooner than later, they have to go back to the store more often to buy the item again. The next time youâre at the supermarket, pay closer attention to the sell-by dates and dig towards the back to get the food that will last longer.
8) Low Quality Ice Cream. Â Besides tasting subpar, cheap ice cream is only made soft and creamy because a lot of air is whipped into it. Â That means youâre actually paying for much less actual ice cream than you would be if you bought a more expensive quality kind that doesnât have all that extra air whipped in. Â You can see in the video how the melted ice creams compare, it shocking!
9) Color. Â Brighter, more natural, organic looking colors are what fast food companies use in order to make their food and businesses appear healthier. Â The bright colors stimulate your brain and remind you of fresh fruits and veggies. In effect, they make you think youâre eating healthier than you really are. Â
10) Plumping. Â This has to do with artificially injecting meat with water to make it appear fuller and weigh more. Â Because meat is sold by the pound to consumers, plumping up poultry can bring in a lot of money for sellers. Â Random testing has found that some chicken has contained up to 30% water, gross!

4-Year-Old Is Scared Of The Dark So He Cuddles With His Goldfish. But Then He Wakes To a Terrifying Surprise!
image via – shutterstock.com
Ever since he could remember, little four year old Everett Hamlin from Bonaire, Georgia loved his pet goldfish named Nemo. Â The boy was just months old when his parents decided to get him his first pet and, being fond of fish, they ended up bringing home Nemo. Â Everett would spend hours sitting in front of the tank just watching the goldfish swim around in his bowl and heâd often pick out special little things to decorate Nemoâs home with.
As far as pet goldfish go, the average lifespan is not very long with most living about 2-3 years. Â Being 4 years old, Nemo had outlived that average. Everettâs mother, Tori Hamlin, attributed Nemoâs long life to taking excellent care of him and cleaning his tank often but none of that mattered after one February night
After putting Everett to bed Tori and her husband heard a sound coming from his room. Â They asked him what was going on and he told them that his dresser had made the noise. Brushing it off as him being fidgety and playing around, they told him to go back to bed and resumed watching TV. Â A little while later, Tori went to check in on her son and immediately noticed that he had pushed a chair in his room up to the dresser. There on the floor beside it lay the fish tank but Nemo was not in it. Â Everett was fast asleep in bed, so Tori cleaned up the tank yet saw no sign of the goldfish.
After looking all over the place with her husband for Nemo they finally found him and could not believe their eyes. Â There in little Everettâs hand was the poor goldfish. Tori was shocked but managed to take a picture before she woke him up. Â When he saw that Nemo was dead, he was heartbroken and explained that all heâd wanted to do was cuddle with his pet fish.
Everettâs parents knew he had never tried to pick up Nemo before and chalked it up as an innocent, one-time mistake. Â After explaining what happened to their son the next morning, he told them that if he got another fish, he promised to never touch it and that from now on he would only touch fish when he went fishing. Â
Trying to make the most of the sad situation, Tori decided she wouldnât punish her son. Â Rather, she saw it as a chance for him to learn from his mistake. In the end, the family went to the pet store and got a brand new tank along with several goldfish, which Everett has promised not to touch. Â After the story went viral, people everywhere praised Tori for showing empathy and understanding and giving her son a second chance to get it right.

The 2 Incredible Benefits of Burning and Vaporizing Bay Leaves In Your House!
image via – youtube.com
Bay leaves are a common staple in many people’s spice collections. The dried green leaves are most commonly used in cooking and many people drop a leaf or two in the pot to simmer along with their food. The heat releases the flavor and adds to the dish, but there are other ways to harness the power and benefits of bay leaves.
One such way is by burning the aromatic herb in order to release the active compounds that are found within the leaves. These properties can help to fight against bacterial infections, detoxify our bodies, improve cardiac and respiratory health, and even slow down the effects of aging. Here’s more on what burning a bay leaf can do for you!
Ease Tension, Anxiety, and Fatigue to Help You Relax- Bay leaves contain compounds such as cineol, pinene, and elemicin that when burned produce a relaxing and energizing effect. These chemicals get released into the air and can be breathed in for the stimulating effects which have been described by many as feeling slightly psychedelic in nature. Here’s how to do it:
Take a dried bay leaf and light one end of it on fire over a metal tray, glass dish, or any other type of fire-proof container. Once it’s lit gently blow out any flames so that it smolders and place it safely on the container. The air will soon fill with smoke, don’t breathe this directly. Rather, aim to breathe in the vapors it produces indirectly, as if it were incense.
Once the leaf has burned itself out and the smoke clears you should be able to feel the calming effects. You will be more relaxed and at ease and your mind will be clearer. At the same time, you will feel more awake and less drowsy, so if you ever feel stressed try burning a bay leaf!
Helps to Clear Respiratory System- Bay leaves are a natural remedy that can help treat clogged, backed up respiratory passages and lungs. It acts naturally to help break up and remove the nasty mucus and phlegm that’s causing all the problems.
Instead of burning the leaves, soak fresh ones in clean water or pick up a small vial of bay leaf oil and use it in a humidifier to create a steamy vapor which you then breathe in. You can also simply boil the treated water on the stove top or rub the oil on your chest area to alleviate respiratory problems, allergies, and asthma.
Helps to Improve Cardiovascular Health- Bay leaves are rich in a caffeic acid which is a natural organic compound that helps strengthen and support the heart’s capillary walls. In addition, caffeic acid also works to eliminate low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), which is the bad type that no one wants in their cardiovascular system.
Rather than burning or inhaling treated steam, add the bay leaves to your cooking and you’ll take in all the heart healthy benefits by simply eating the delicious food you make!

THIS Woman Flexes In Front Of a Guy She Doesn’t Know! His Response Is Perfect!
image via – facebook.com
The âFlex Camâ is a relatively new variation on the perennial crowd favorite âKiss Cam.â While the kiss cam urges people to kiss, the flex cam encourages people to flex their muscles. When the camera pans over the crowd it focuses in on audience members who strike body builder type poses.
Video of them is beamed out for everyone to see at the game on the stadium’s jumbo-tron screen. Oftentimes, people are only aware that they are on camera when they see their faces looking back at them on the huge central screen. This has led to some hilarious, surprising, and endearing moments.
One such moment was captured at a recent Philadelphia Soul Arena Football League game. Footage from the Flex Cam started with various members of the crowd showing off their guns and displaying a wide variety of muscle size and tone. Then the camera found its way to an unidentified man. He jumps up and immediately begins to puff up his chest, flex his arms, and pose in superman form.
A woman sitting right behind him also stands up and whips her jacket off, exposing her extremely toned and impressive biceps, triceps, and deltoids. She easily puts her seat neighbor to shame. He takes one backwards glance at her and decides to sit back down in his seat, slinking further into it as if he wants to disappear. His spotlight has been stolen and yet he seems to be a good sport about it.
The jacked woman continues to pose like the hulk for a few more moments. Her move is decisive, as she appears to be the spectator with the most sculpted and muscular arms in the building. Check all the action and muscle flexing out!

If You Have a Pair of Crocs You Should Toss Them In The Trash Now But Not Because They Are Ugly!
image via – shutterstock.com
Here we are in the heat of summer in many parts of the world, trying to stay cool and comfortable. Â As we navigate the imposing heat outside we not only wear more breathable clothes, but our footwear needs to allow our feet to breathe. Â Sandals have been the answer for hundreds, if not thousands of years…but they have evolved in modern times.
“Flip flops” have been around for many years, as well as the infamous “Crocs” that became the summer “go-to” more recently.  For quite some time, the medical profession has warned about the dangers of flip flops, for the very reason people love them…ease of putting them on and slipping them off.  They have now issued a serious safety warning about wearing Crocs as well, as an all day replacement for shoes.
When Crocs were introduced to the public, the company promoted them as not only comfortable, but actually possessing benefits for the feet that were therapeutic. Â They made these claims without any research to back them up. Â The problem lies in wearing these footwear all day, according to podiatrist Dr. Tom Beasley, because without containing a shank they provide no support for the foot.
For children, who are still growing, the instability of Crocs can cause bone deformities and splayed feet. Â As children grow, so do their bones and tendons in their feet, requiring footwear that is supportive.
As you will hear in the VIDEO you are about to watch below, Â Crocs can pose the safety hazard of getting caught on ESCALATORS, causing serious injuries. Â There have been multiple reports of such injuries, resulting in law suits against the Crocs company. Â Unstable shoes like Crocs and flip flops have been known to get caught on gas pedals and brakes in cars as well, resulting in automobile accidents.
After watching the footage below, let us know what you think about wearing this footwear out in the world.

Man Goes Face First Into One Of The Biggest Waves On The Planet. What The Camera Caught Is UNTHINKABLE!
image via – youtube.com
If a 50 foot wave was barreling down upon you, the last thing you’d do is sit there and dive right into it! Waves are incredibly powerful and way too easy to underestimate. Even a 10 foot one is quite daunting to face, let alone one over six stories tall. Only a few brave souls on Earth would dare do such a thing and the majority of them, if not all, are big wave surfers.
Clark Little likes to surf but he takes on monster waves for a different reason, one that doesn’t involve riding a board. He gets in the water for the unique photo opportunities the waves present when they break on the sandy shore.
The avid wave photographer is no stranger to danger. For him, being tossed and thrown about by the ocean surf crashing onto the beach is all in a days work. The images he has managed to capture are absolutely beautiful and majestic. They’re full of light, liquid, movement, and are worthy of being framed and hung up on the wall for all to admire. You can view some of them in the accompanying video where he talks about his passion and love for what he does.
Little didn’t ever plan on making a career out of photographing waves. He kind of fell into it after his wife came home one day with a piece of art that featured the nearby Waimea shore break. He looked at the photo and thought that he could capture an even better picture so he took a waterproof camera and headed to the beach.
He proved himself right and the awesome photos he’s taken over the years speak for themselves.

Doctors Notice Something Strange Growing In THIS Infant’s Tummy. Then Realize It’s Growing In Her Twin Too!
image via – shutterstock.com
Having a child is probably the most exciting and life altering moment of your life. Especially your first child, not knowing what to expect, everything is brand new and there is pretty much no instruction manual that covers your new life that is about to unfold before you! This whole new world of responsibility can at times become daunting and exhausting.
Now imagine instead of just one baby you are having twins! When having twins any worrying you had about one baby is now multiplied by two! From making sure both babies are fine inside the womb, to having a normal and safe birth, and finally preparations of their rooms and the baby proof house for two new babes!
The biggest fear most new parents face is worrying about the health of their new baby and hopefully no problems or health complications. Sadly for many parents, things don’t run as smooth as planned. There are so many things that could potentially go wrong during a pregnancy and if you aren’t being vigilant these issues can sneak right up on you.
That brings us to today’s story featuring Elisa and Michael Dunn, a couple who were expecting their first child. They were first stunned to find out they weren’t just bringing one baby into the world, they were having twin baby girls! They celebrated the news although they knew it would be double the work, but they still felt blessed and thankful.
On July 4th, Independence Day in the USA, twin baby girls Isabella and Madeline were born. Because they were born on July 4th they nicknamed the two cuties their sweet little ‘firecrackers’. As the new family settled in with their twin baby firecrackers everything seemed to be going great.
That is until one somber day in September when the twins had a routine check-up with their doctor. During the exam the doctor immediately noticed that Madeline’s stomach seemed to be bulging and when he pressed on it something didn’t feel right! The doctor took an ultrasound image, viewed it, and a visible growth was clearly showing. The doctor had to give the Dunn family some pretty scary news…
From what he saw on the ultrasound it looked as if baby Madeline may have some type of tumor or cancer! He sent them to a specialist to get her belly further checked out. They took blood work, got samples, did all the testing that was necessary. Then came the terrifying diagnosis. The doctor told the Dunns their sweet baby girl had a rare type of cancer called a Stage 4s Neuroblastoma. If this news wasn’t bad enough, the specialist suspected her twin sister Isabella might have something similar and asked her parents if he could examine her as well.
That’s when the double dose of terrible news came crashing down on the Dunns. Both of their daughters had soft balled sized Stage 4s Neuroblastomas growing off of their adrenal glands. The doctors explained to them that it is very rare for twins to both have the same cancer at the same time. But in this particular case they suspected that the initial cancer cells started multiplying and duplicating inside Madeline in the womb and were passed on to her sister Isabella.
They reasoned that because they were identical twins they shared certain blood vessels and arteries while they were still in the womb. These vessels would act as pathways for the cancer cells to travel from one baby to the other. Because the cancer began months before they were born and continued growing from their kidneys and then into their livers a successful surgery would not be possible.
Both girl’s livers were now filled with tumors and their fate was now uncertain. The doctors were unsure if surgery would be beneficial and they didn’t think either twin would survive it. So they decided on the next best thing Chemotherapy.
In general Chemotherapy can have serious side effects for a grown adult or an older child; but the side effects for babies this young would be much worse. Their parents were so scared and horrified, but they opted for the chemotherapy, because not doing anything was just not an option!
Both girls started chemotherapy separately during the first round. They both experienced horrible side effects and were suffering through the treatment. After the second round of chemo, the girls were brought back together and somehow just being near each other lessened the side effects.
They both went through 4 arduous, long and painful chemotherapy sessions, then two weeks before Christmas the twins had an MRI taken to see how they had responded to the treatment. A miracle had occurred, Isabella and Madeline’s cancer were both completely in remission and their were no signs of cancer in their systems!
Luckily their rare cancer stayed in remission and never came back! The girls still get check-ups every 6 months just to make sure everything is still in remission. The twins are now healthy and growing up just like any other normal kids would. They had no long term side effects from the cancer or the chemotherapy. Thank god this story had an amazing and beautifully happy ending for these two adorable baby ‘firecrackers’.
