I came across this video that shows you the top baby gear for 2010. If you are expecting, know someone who is expecting or just love to look at the new baby gear (wishing it were around when you had kids), then watch this video. It’s less than 4 minutes long and shows some of the best gear on the market today.
No, I’m not going to talk about sending your first born off to college instead I’m going to talk about your decision to head back to school yourself. Moms are busy people, yet college moms are even busier. If you are considering heading back to school I say “Congratulations!” College moms have to learn the finer art of balancing their lives. They need to give enough of themselves to their children so that they are happy, yet also give enough of themselves to their studies to be proud of those accomplishments as well. How exactly do you balance all this? Some moms even throw in a job to boot!
So, you and your husband have decided that it was time to get pregnant. Now what?
It’s time – the children will stay with a sitter while you and your husband get out for a few hours together. Now what?
Leave your sitter a list of contact numbers so they may reach you at any time. This list should not just be your cell phone number, as they are known to not work when you need it the most. Be sure to include the number or numbers of the places you plan to be. Also, leave a number or two of a local person they may call if they cannot reach you, such as a relative or close friend.
We’ve all experienced it, the “Are we there yet” syndrome. Being trapped in a car with bored children strapped into car seats is not my idea of a fun filled weekend. Is it yours? I doubt that I would find anyone that truly enjoyed this situation. My children were 3 and 6 when we moved within an hour of my mother, up until this we were travelling 6 hours to visit her – yes 6 hours one way with small children buckled into car seats.
I understand and appreciate how busy moms are these days. We not only work outside the home, but clean the home, schedule our children’s activities into our schedules, make dinner and take care of our aging parents. All of these activities are worthwhile, but they all take a toll on us personally. Before we know it, weeks have gone by where we have not taken any time for ourselves. We have not taken the time to relax, or do anything for ourselves! Here are some tips to ensure that you don’t forget to stop and smell the roses.
We all love them. They are easy and convenient. They make cleaning up slick, but they are so expensive and full of harsh chemicals. So what can you do? Make them yourself!
Homemade cleaning wipes are just as easy and convenient, but cost significantly less and contain only the cleaning compounds you select. These wipes are easy to make, and you can make them for a variety of cleaning causes.
Babies need all kinds of gear as they grow. Many parents buy used baby products or borrow them from friends in order to save money on the items that will only be used a short period of time. Are these practices safe? They can be if you are a smart consumer and are aware of product recalls before you make these purchases or borrow items.
Some of the most popular used baby gear products are cribs, high chairs, strollers, baby carriers, baby swings, play yards and of course car seats. These items tend to be quite expensive, and purchasing them used allows parents to spread their funds further. First and foremost, we want your baby to be safe. Protect your baby by being a smart consumer and following the tips below.
I enjoy making these recipes with my children. The recipes are straightforward, easy enough for even young children to make with a little help from mom (or dad).
Don’t let the remaining pieces end up in a landfill, instead use them to make the craft projects below.
