There are many great ideas for children’s birthday party themes some require more preparation than others.  Over the next few months I will be sharing with you some of my favorites, and hope that you too will share some of yours.  I know how important it is for your children to have a birthday party that is fun and exciting, but I also know how important it is that you are not stressed to the max during the events.  Cold weather birthday parties can cause more stress than need be, as the children do tend to be inside your home causing a bit of chaos that you may not enjoy.  Thinking outside the box may be just what you need to do to make these cold weather birthday parties fun and exciting for your child, but not a stressful event for you.

My children have had more fun playing Walk the Dogs and Linkity from Simply Fun, and Sorry Sliders from Hasbro.

What is the number one concern most parents have today?  It should be keeping their child safe.  Whether you are at home, in the car or out shopping, you always want your child to be as safe as they can be.  For years companies have been coming out with new products to help keep your child safe, just be aware that not all products are tested the same.  As a responsible parent, always double check the current recalls to make sure that the items you are purchasing are as safe as they can be.  I’d like to introduce you to some of my favorite safety products that are out on the market today.

A missed period is often the first clue that a woman might be pregnant. Sometimes, a woman might suspect she is pregnant even sooner. Symptoms such as headache, fatigue, and breast tenderness, can occur even before a missed period. The wait to know can be emotional.
