R@BC HALLOWEENR@BC HALLOWEENSocial Spotlight

Walt and Laurie Fullerton, and our boys are Joel (12) and Liam (5). We've lived in the RBC since 2009, and we decorate our house for Halloween every year.

We really enjoy the holiday for the family fun and the sense of community it creates--lots of families are out together having fun and visiting with their neighbors, 414 Buck Ridge Rd.

Shown: Citrus cranberry turkey roasted on a Kamado Joe.

Give Us the Bird.

Let’s talk turkey. Roasting a turkey in a Kamado Joe grill is just as easy as using your oven. The difference is that turkeys that come out of our grills are incredibly juicy with a mouth-watering charcoal flavor.

Here’s why. Ovens are made of metal and they’re very efficient at pulling the moisture from food. On the other hand, Kamado Joe grills have a thick ceramic shell that locks in the moisture and natural oils of the turkey and keeps it where it belongs–in the turkey.

Our grills also use 100% natural lump charcoal. It’s made from hardwoods like oak and it’s the only heat source that infuses true charcoal flavor.

We’ve made it easy for you. We posted our own grill-tested recipe with simple cooking instructions, so you can serve a turkey they’ll be thanking you for all year long.

RANCH AT BRUSHY CREEKPosture Tips for Moms and Dads

Lifting and carrying a child, picking up toys off of the floor, and pushing a stroller are normal daily tasks for many parents. Below are some quick tips to avoid overstraining your spine and other body areas.

LIFTING YOUR CHILD FROM THE FLOORWhen picking your child up off the floor, you should use a half-

kneel lift. First, stand close to your child on the floor. While keeping your back straight, place one foot slightly forward of the other foot, and bend your hips and knees to lower yourself onto one knee. Once down on the floor, grasp your child with both arms and hold him or her close to your body. Tighten your stomach muscles, push with your legs, and slowly return to the standing position. To place your child onto the floor, the same half-kneel technique should be performed.

CARRYING/HOLDING YOUR CHILDWhen holding or carrying your child, you should always hold him or

her close to your body and balanced in the center of your body. Avoid holding your child in one arm and balanced on your hip. When using a child carrier be sure to keep your back straight and your shoulders back to avoid straining your back and neck.

PICKING UP TOYS FROM THE FLOORAs a parent you will too often be involved in cleaning up after your

child. When picking toys up from the floor, keep your head and back

straight, and while bending at your waist, extend one leg off the floor straight behind you. This is often called a “golfer’s lift”, as you may see some “seasoned” golfers retrieve their ball from the hole this way.

LIFTING YOUR CHILD OUT OF THE CRIBIf your child's crib has a rail that lowers, you will want it in the lowest

position when lifting your child out of the crib. As you lift, keep your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Arch your low back and, while keeping your head up, bend at your hips. With both arms, grasp your child and hold him or her close to your chest. Straighten your hips so you are in an upright position, and then extend your knees to return to a full stand. To return your child to the crib, use the same technique and always remember to keep your child close to your chest.

PUSHING A STROLLERWhen pushing your child in a stroller, you will want to stay as close

to the stroller as possible, allowing your back to remain straight and your shoulders back. The force to push the stroller should come from your entire body, not just your arms. Avoid pushing the stroller too far ahead of you because this will cause you to hunch your back and shoulders forward.

Children and parenting are stressful enough. Focus on proper body movement and enjoy those kiddo’s without unneeded aches and pains.
