Play date's are not just for children

I came across an interesting article about play date's.

Great tips about play date's. like this one:

If you don’t know any other moms with babies or young children, have a look online because there are websites devoted to bringing people together for social gatherings. I also suggest checking out community bulletin boards at libraries and cafes because organizations like MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) frequently post information about upcoming meetings and outings.

Top 3 parenting mistakes

Well, we all make mistakes, parents too. But what are the top 3 parenting mistakes?

According to Amy McCready:

Parents want to have close relationships with their children, but many wonder if that’s even possible as their once sweet, loving, cuddly child enters adolescence.  Suddenly, your son is more interested in peers than spending time with the family, your daughter may be showing more rebellious behavior, and now, instead of being the one they turn to for advice, you don’t know a thing!

 

So what are these mistakes, find out here

Pessimist kids?

You might never heard of it but kids can be pessimists too. According to Parenthecks website:

On a recent library jaunt I spied Freeing Your Child From Negative Thinking on the "Recommended" shelf. I've read my share of "fix your kid" parenting books and finish most feeling either underwhelmed or defeated. Plus, this one's written by a Ph. D. which immediately raised my suspect parenting expert hackles. But if someone can help me avoid more of those painful lessons learned by experience, I'm willing to listen. I checked it out. And I'm glad I did.

The Myth of the Perfect Birth, reality check needed

Fit pregnancy site has a labor nurse - Jeanne Faulkner - who answers the moms' questions.

It's a very interesting article and topic as well. She says:

We’re creating a myth of The Perfect Birth that puts a lot of pressure on women and dings up their maternal self-esteem.   They feel that if their birth was rough, then they made the wrong choices or are somehow to blame for not having total control.

Picking the right toys for your baby it's not that easy that you think. But if your read this article you'll know more about it.

The most important factor in choosing a toy for your little one is knowing your child’s personality and likes and dislikes. Because babies can not communicate verbally, often times it can be a little difficult for a new mom to determine a baby’s mood.

Some weird facts about Halloween

Halloween is almost here and I really like it. That's why I thought I share some weird facts about Halloween with you.

  • Welsh and Celtic traditions believe the dead visit the living on October 31st….and let the haunting begin. They would were masks on that day so the spirits of the dead would not recognize them.
  • Mexicans celebrate “The Day of the Dead” , in Spanish El día de los Muertos
  • During the 1800’s, out in the heartland of America when the Harvest ended celebrations were held at the end of October usually. People dressed up in costumes, had hayrides, ate sweets and bobbed for apples to celebrate. Scaring  and tricking people became a young adult prank at the celebrations.
  • At the turn of the century, cities were becoming overcrowded and Halloween became a time to let off steam by playing practical jokes  and tricks on people. By the 1930’s these practical jokes began to get dangerous and serious damage was being done on Halloween. This is how “trick or Treat”, the movement to have children go door-to-door and ask for candy began as a substitute for wild pranks and vandalism that was getting out of control in the cities across America.
  • Jack o’ lanterns or carved pumpkins as they are known today, originated in Ireland where people put candles in hollowed-out turnips to keep away evil spirits and ghosts on the Samhain holiday
  • Can you believe that Halloween candy sales average about 2 billion dollars annually in the United States?
  • Halloween is the 2nd most commercially successful holiday in America and the western culture, with Christmas being the first
  • Legends say if you see a spider on Halloween, it is the spirit of a loved on watching over you
  • Holloween was referred to as All Hallows Eve and dates back to over 2000 years ago as a traditional pagan celebration
  • Legends say that bobbing for apples may have originated from a roman harvest festival that honors Pamona, the goddess of fruit trees

    I've read this great article about the dangers of wearing high heels when you are pregnant:

     

    ...recent warning from the British Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists, instructing pregnant women to avoid regular use of high heels as well as ballet flats, flip flops, and Uggs because of lack of support for their feet. Instead, the group recommends supportive, wide-fitting shoes to help minimize pain and discomfort and avoid long-term damage.
