The art of streak-free window cleaning is a complicated one indeed. Begin by gathering your supplies together. First, you’ll need a cleaning solution of a capful of ammonia mixed in two gallons of water. Regular soap leaves a filmy white residue on windows, but ammonia provides a powerful cleaner without streaks or greasy film. You’ll also need a sponge to apply the solution to the windows and a squeegee brush to remove it. Paper towels will be used to remove excess water, as the lint from regular towels tends to stick to glass, leaving behind unsightly flecks of color on your freshly washed window. Look for a paper towel that has a particularly papery texture, not a linen or reusable texture.

It’s absolutely one of the most delightful feelings I really enjoy as a mom. I remember when my son was between 8-9 months old. Just like every mother, I couldn’t forget those moments. At that time, he often asked for more attention from me rather than from anybody in the house.

No matter where he was or who was holding him, as soon as he saw me, he suddenly cried as if he was asking me to hold him. When I came close to him, he abruptly opened his arms and looked so happy. His cry stopped in a moment. It was truly an unspoken feeling I had experienced. But there was also time when he acted differently from what I had expected. When I went for work, I thought he would cry hard to see me leaving him.

It is rare for breast cancer to strike younger women, the fact remains that all women are at risk and for those of childbearing age. The first sign and symptoms of breast cancer leading to a diagnosis can not only be upsetting and unexpected, but complicated as well. Developing breast cancer at a younger age-in a woman’s 40s, 30s, even 20s—will mean making important and difficult decisions about one’s life and future perhaps much sooner than originally expected. One concern is developing breast cancer during pregnancy, which although rare, can still occur.

In this case, the treatment chosen will not only affect the patient and her body, but the growing baby inside her as well. It will depend on what stage of pregnancy she is in first, second or third trimester. And what stage her cancer is in—such as whether or not it’s advanced.
