David and Victoria have announced a baby name
Does Hollywood have some secret covenant to populate the world with insanely awful baby names? Is there a bet out there and the joke is on us? The world got wind that Victoria Beckham is finally being blessed with a little princess. Wonderful.
But we also just got news of her baby’s name. Are your ready? Can you handle the truth?
Santa. As in Claus. Yep. I have to admit, Apple is sounding more and more endearing to me these days. I wasn’t so fond of Bronx (Ashlee Simpson Wentz), or Buddy Bear (Jamie Oliver), but they can grow on me. I’m not sure Santa ever will.
And who can compete with Santa? When Gwen Stefani tells her little lovelies that Santa is coming, and it isn’t the real Santa, what then? How awful to live your life as the girl that people thought was the dude responsible for the magic of Christmas, but really was just a girl.
The positive side, because it is always right to end with a positive, is I hate when other people tell you what or what not to name your child. That is worse baby naming etiquette than choosing a bizarre name. It really is no one’s business, unless asked.
I like the fact that Hollywood is doing what they want and not caring what others think. I can appreciate that. First rule of baby club is this-you do what is right for you and yours and ignore the outside opinions that will be flung your way. Inevitably, you will spend your life dodging daggers if you leave yourself open.
How to feed my child? How much sunlight per day? Night time routines? Should I name my child Santa? Someone always has something to say, especially if you ask. That must be why Victoria hasn’t called me lately. I was wondering what was up.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the U.S. with NEARLY 700,000 people dying each year, ABOUT 29% of all U.S. deaths.
To protect yourself, consider the following check list:
–Eating a healthy diet filled with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and fatty fish.
–If you smoke—QUIT!
–Maintain a healthy body weight
–Talk to your doctor about an exercise routine you can follow and incorporating Omega 3’s into your diet.
Omega-3s reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke by breaking down the bad cholesterol (triglycerides) in the blood stream. Hypertension also lowers with an increase in Omega-3s and research has shown that Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are important for healthy cardiovascular function.
