Baby Shower: The Welcoming Committee

Finding out your pregnant is the best news of all. Well, second to hearing the grand proposal of a lifetime. After a successful wedding ceremony, hearing that your love has borne fruit is the icing on the cake. For first time expecting mothers, it is a difficult and herculean task to search and look for all the right stuff and equipment the baby will need. Moms-to-be need to list down all the things the baby would need at the soonest possible time so that little by little, each item can already be purchased and readied for the baby’s arrival. But there is another easy way to almost have it all, without getting too much headache over it. The solution is to hold a baby shower party! The only headache mom-to-be would have is the menu she would have to prepare on that day and that is easier for her.

Now the burden of searching and looking for baby stuff is passed on to the invitees. But another concern is raised. How will the baby shower go about? The best answer there is, is to have a theme that would guide the flow of the baby shower. There are several ways of choosing and deciding on a theme. Do you want it to be based on color? In case you already know the gender of the baby, pink or blue is used to universally represent a baby girl or a baby boy. Or baby items such as a pacifier or a baby bottle? How about character-themed baby shower such as the Sesame Street, Power Puff Girls, Dexter’s Laboratory or the Looney Tunes? It could also be a time-of-the-day baby shower whereby each invitee is tasked to bring something the baby would need or use during that time of the day.

From www.best-baby-gift-guide.com, it suggests wonderful baby shower gift ideas such as a baby gift basket, a layette gift set, vital baby equipment, beautiful baby linen, a baby massage set, or a baby gift certificate. Each gift idea is unique. For the baby gift basket, some ideas they suggest is to create your own baby gift basket or go for the classical clothing baby gift basket where you can never go wrong. You can also go for monogrammed baby gift baskets, fun baby basket, mother and baby basket, gift basket for twins, or a pampering baby gift basket. They also have different suggestions for baby girl and baby boys. For the complete descriptions for each item, just visit their website and read on to find fantastic baby gift ideas.

Once the baby shower is finished, take stock of what is already there and not. For those items still missing from your list, make the necessary arrangements to have it readily available once the baby arrives.

Just some last few tips for a successful baby shower: hold it four to six weeks before the due date, establish a theme, write down the guest list, set the tone and size of the baby shower, plan the games, plan the menu, create baby shower party favors, and last but not the least, set the time and location, if it will not be held in your residence.

Remember, baby showers are a fun way to welcome the baby that will be coming soon.

Have A Wonderful Time Planning Your Baby’s Nursery

Planning The Nursery Décor

There’s nothing more wonderful than planning the nursery for your new baby. If you’ve decided to find out the gender of your baby, you can have the room all ready for him or her when you come home from the hospital.

What kinds of things do you need to create a safe haven and optimal sleep environment?
The trend for awhile was to have bright, stimulating colors in the nursery or mobiles in black and white to help the baby’s eyes develop. This faded from popularity pretty quickly as parents found out all that trendy stuff wasn’t conducive to sleep!

Make sure your crib conforms to all the guidelines for safety and that you have a good, firm mattress. Keep to softer pastel colors – blues, greens, pinks and yellows. Any color you like is good, although some, like blues and greens, are more restful.

Make sure the bedding and the entire room is clean and fresh. Until your baby is at least a year old, a quilt or comforter should be for decoration only. You can buy specially made quilt clips to hang it on a wall. Your baby’s bed needs to be unobstructed by blankets, pillows or sheets, so that her face is clear at all times and there’s no danger of obstructing her breathing. You might want to have a small foam wedge that’s positioned to keep the baby from rolling on her stomach. You should also keep stuffed animals or other toys out of the crib until the baby’s older. In addition, you may want to purchase a baby monitor to hear your baby throughout the night. These days, some monitors actually show your baby on a screen or video, amazing!

Make the room a pleasant one. If you use a scent, like lavender, keep it light. Nothing overpowering. Keep it as dust-free as possible to avoid sneezing and stuffy noses. The nursery should feel like a safe and cozy place that your baby associates with restfulness and security.

Nursery Feng Shui

You’ve probably heard of feng shui, the Chinese system for arrangement and placement of furniture in a room. It’s often used in businesses and homes as a way to create positive energy in your environment. Even if you’ve never used feng shui in your own space, why not consider it for your baby’s room? Feng shui is now making its way into the nursery, and for good reason, too. Feng Shui proposes that by arranging and aligning the room correctly, energy will flow better in the room. Positive energy flow will create an environment to thrive for people of any age, especially a baby.

To maximize the energy in baby’s room, there are several important factors to consider, such as room location, safety, colors, and furniture arrangement. Using feng shui in the nursery will help to make babies less fussy, who will feel more comfortable in their surroundings, and who will be healthy and flourish. What does it take to accomplish this? Following some basic considerations will help both baby and parents create a room that makes them both happy.

First of all, put the baby’s room in a good location. A new baby should have a bedroom that is not over a garage or has an empty space below. The bedroom also shouldn’t be located where there is excessive noise that might keep the baby from sleeping, such as close to a living room where the TV is on, or close to a noisy street or neighbor.

The bed should not be against a window or be directly in line with the door. Make sure the baby does not sleep or is placed against a slanted wall. Avoid placing the baby against a wall that is shared with a bathroom, toilet, storage, or utility-type room. Create good, but soft energy and movement, with mobiles hung close to a window to move gently in the breeze and keep soft music playing in the room.

The baby’s nursery should always be clutter free. Nothing at all should be underneath the crib. Few things should line the walls, keep it minimal. Each night, the dirty diapers should be taken out so a clean, fresh smell circulates. A small air filter can be placed to ensure clean crisp air 24/7.

Caring For A Dog Made Easy With These Suggestions

Dogs provide loyalty, unconditional love and affection. Dogs make wonderful pets for the whole family, or they can provide companionship for those living on their own. If you are interested in being a better pet owner, the advice in this post can help.

Owning a dog takes a bit of money. Expect to spend from $700 to as high as $1000 in a year to pay for medical attention, food, flea and tick protection and other items needed. Also, emergency care is a lot if your dog was to ever get sick; you may want to think about pet insurance if you can afford it.

If you have children make sure to get a breed that is good with kids. The right dog can be wonderful companionship for a child and also be good to guard the child. Allow your child to help care for the dog and thereby teach them responsibility.

If you keep some medications in your home, make sure your dog cannot access it. Dogs can have very negative side effects from even small amounts of medications intended for humans. If this does happen, call your vet immediately.

In addition to verbal commands, employ a variety of hand signals when training your dog. Dogs tend to respond better with these additional types of signals instead of always relying on voice commands. Every pet is different though, so use a combination of both verbal and visual cues and then determine what works the best.

If you’re trying to figure out what type of dog you might want to get, take a look at your lifestyle. If you love to run, seek out a pooch that will love to run alongside you. If you are a homebody or elderly and less active, a small dog that lounges around a lot is a good fit. Avoid a mismatch if you want both of you to be happy.

Ask your vet how much food your dog should get every day. Dog food packages provide guidelines, but they can be wrong for your particular pet and lead to obesity. Speak with your vet and work out an appropriate eating plan for your dog.

Use Real Bones

Instead of feeding your dog meat bones, give him rawhide. Real bones can splinter and can get caught in your dog’s mouth or digestive tract. Rawhide is a great treat you can use in lieu of real bones. If you choose to use real bones be sure and get the marrow bones which do not splinter like, say chicken bones.

Never force a dog to do something. If your dog doesn’t like a particular treat, don’t make him eat it. You need to find out what your dog does and does not like. Pets are like humans, some have sensitive stomachs and they will likely know what not to eat.

When you first notice behavior problems in your dog, take proper steps to correct the behavior. Turning a blind eye to it just makes it harder to fix down the road. It is possible that your dog could injure a person, and that person could be you! So correct unwanted behavior right away.

Teach your dog the right way to walk with a leash. He ought to be next to you rather than ahead or behind. He should also respond to the “heel” command. This will not only make your walks more enjoyable, but it will also help keep your dog safe. Even if you’re using loose leashes for walking here and there, make sure the dog understands this command.

Some dogs are more likely to suffer from health problems and so you should know what to look out for in your dog. Research his ancestry and take steps to prevent problems he might be prone to. Talk to your vet about prevention, too. If your dog has a limp, back problems or arthritis then Bone Meal has been known to be a great help. Just add it to his food daily.

Know that an animal doesn’t need too many people telling it what to do when it’s being trained. Everyone does things differently, and too many commanders may confuse your dog. Be sure that one individual is in control of the training and keeps others working with the dog on the same page.

Don’t judge the health of your dog by his wet, cold nose. Your dog’s nose could be wet and cold for many other reasons. Using your dog’s appetite, attitude, and amount of energy, you can determine its health. They’ll all really tell the story of your pet’s health. A dog’s temperature can be taken rectally if need be.

Start bathing your dog regularly when it is a puppy and that way it will be easier to bathe them as an adult dog. If you have a walk in shower then add a sprayer that comes down to the floor and use this to bathe your dog. It is usually easier than trying to get them in a tub.

Caring for your dog is more complex than you may think. It involves much more than just playing with it a little each day and making sure it gets fed. Caring for your dog is of the utmost importance, and one in which you will need to learn. If you do, your dog will live a long and happy life.
