Healthy Snacks for Pregnant Women
In order to gain the ideal amount of weight, doctors recommend that pregnant women consume about 300 extra calories a day—and those calories shouldn't ALWAYS be from cake and ice cream!
While indulging on craved delicacies during pregnancy is certainly okay every once in a while, pregnant women should try and get in the habit of eating healthy snacks every day, both the reduce the amount of weight gained over the nine month period, and to send that fetus the message that it's momma cares about health!
Here are some 300 calorie snacks to consider:
1. 1 medium apple and one cup of low fat or fat free non-flavored yogurt with a tablespoon of 100% fruit jam for flavor.
2. 1 cup of vanilla ice cream or fruit sorbet, topped with a teaspoon of chocolate sprinkles..
3. 1 hard boiled egg sliced on a piece of whole wheat toast. You can add a thin layer of low fat mayo.
4. Raw vegetables (celery, tomatoes, carrots, kohlrabi) dipped in ½ cup of homemade humus.
5. 1 banana and 1 tbsp of natural peanut butter and a small handful of raisins.
6. A small whole wheat tortilla with 1/3 cup of melted low fat cheese.
7. 6 cups of air popped popcorn sprinkled with ¼ cup parmesan cheese.
8. ½ cup of shredded or cubed chicken breast on top of a bed of salad greens (1 cup).
9. ½ cup of low fat cottage cheese with a ½ cup of fruit (apples, pears, melon, grapes).
10. Three 100-calorie pack snacks spread out throughout the day.
11. ¼ cup of almonds, ¼ cup of raisins, and a sprinkle of chocolate chips.
Remember, this is a time for slight weight gain, not weight loss. You can order your diet pills from your online pharmacy only AFTER you've given birth and after you're done breastfeeding.

Don't Give Up Your Kids To The System--The Educational System That Is!
As my two kids were having a private conversation I heard, "Give up your kids?" in an incredulous tone from my 6 year old daughter. That started me to thinking of how many people unknowingly give up their kids to an educational system that may or may not work for them.
As a parent, it is your responsibility to make sure that your children get everything they need. Not just the bare necessities of food, shelter, and clothing but the more meaningful attributes that they will take with them for the remainder of their lives. These include love, first and foremost, security, and yes, education.
So why do so many parents enroll their children in school and expect the system to do the rest? Have we not learned that the system fails at least as many as it helps? The scary truth is that in order for your children to be successful in obtaining a good education, YOU will have to delve deep and determine what a good education is and help them get it.
How? Many people have read or been told that children do better when parents are a part of their school lives. I concur. However, that doesn't mean that you must spend hours completing his math project so that he will get a good grade. While assisting with homework will help your child do better in school, there is another way that studies prove increases his achievement. Simply be a presence in his school. Go to the parent-teacher conferences, PTO nights, plays, and games. But more than that, help out around the school in various ways. Maybe you can donate some items for art, beautify the school grounds, assist a teacher by running some copies, answer the office phone, etc. The list is endless. Ask school personnel what you can do to help if you are unsure where to start.
What if you work?
You don't have to be in the school everyday or even every week for that matter. You can take a couple to four hours per semester to volunteer at your child's school during the day. Altogether, that's ONE day you will miss work for an entire year, and it's for a far better cause than watching a ball game! Imagine if 100 parents per school committed to spend 4 hours per semester in their children's schools. That's 400 hours, or 57 days per semester (based on a 7 hour school day) of extra, free workers in our schools, and 100 extra bodies making sure that our kids are safe!

Condolence Letters: The Etiquette of Writing Condolence Letters
Everyone will agree, writing a condolence letter is not only difficult but also painful. Wrought with grief, you have to gather your thoughts and put it down on paper. Some people never get around to writing a condolence letter as they use the excuse that it was too painful. Yet, if you think of the comfort, your letter will bring to the bereaved as he or she reads it. Then again, you might send flowers, or a sympathy food basket, write an email, make a post on Facebook or Tweet about it. Still, nothing can replace the lasting gift of the handwritten condolence letter.
What are your choices - You have four ways to write you condolence letter:
1. Write a letter from scratch. You can see good examples of condolence letters online at ObituariesHelp.org. Be genuine and avoid pretentious language. Express your sympathy and acknowledge the grief of the person you are writing to.
2. Use an existing letter. You can add your personal touch to a letter you already have, putting it in your own style, you might be lucky to find a letter, which reflects your sentiment.
3. Use a quotation, a reading or historical letter. There is nothing wrong with writing this type of condolence letter. In fact, this will reflect how much thought you gave to the importance of saying the right things. This only adds to the lasting effect of your letter. ObituariesHelp.org has examples of poems and readings you might want to include in your letter.
4. Express your feelings the commercial way. If you do not wish to write a letter, sending a sympathy card by mail, putting a post on Facebook or sending out a Tweet, is also acceptable.
The Etiquette of it all. - Although there isn't a right or a wrong way to write a condolence letter, there are accepted principles you should observe.
1. What is the relationship? Normally you would write the letter to the bereaved person with whom you have the closest connection. In the case where you knew the deceased very well, but not the family, you should still write a condolence letter. If it is a married person who has lost a parent, you should write to the person who lost the parent. If the spouse had a close relationship with the deceased, you should address the letter to both.
In many cases the surviving children who lost a parent, grandparent or sibling are often forgotten when it comes to condolence letters. Taking the time to mention them specifically in your condolence letter or even addressing the letter to the children is therapeutic to the recipient and considerate on your part.
You can also consider sending a condolence letter to the surviving member of a divorced couple when the former spouse dies, depending on the circumstances. If the couple's relationship after their divorce was amicable, your letter will be appreciated.
2. How long should you wait to send your condolence letter? It is a good idea to send your letter as soon as you get the news. If you wait until you get over the shock you might never send a letter. You should make every effort to your condolence letter within two weeks. Waiting until after six weeks is a no-no.
3. What kind of stationary should you use? You can find appropriate stationary in specialty stores or online. Soft colors such as mauve, gray, white or cream is customary. Avoid bright colors and bold patterns on your stationary. Writing your letter by hand is appropriate especially if you were close friends with the decease or the surviving family.
4. Is there a standard length for a condolence letter? Your condolence letter should be as long as you think is appropriate to convey your feelings. You may be able to accomplish that in a few sentences or you might need a few pages. It is totally up to you.
Good examples of condolence letter with specific examples for your situation can be found online at obituarieshelp.org. If you knew the deceased well, it will be easier to write your condolence letter because you can draw on your memories of the person. If you did not know the person well, you can focus your letter on the family and offer your support during this difficult time. In any case, expressing your sympathy in a condolence letter is always appropriate and appreciated.

The Importance of Childhood Manners
Manners are important for a few different reasons. Teaching a child to be polite is a great way to set them up for success in adulthood. Good manners say a lot about a child and a child's upbringing. Learn how good manners can help your child's behavior and teach them respect.
Having good manners is really about respecting those around you. Politeness makes a good first impression and can affect the way that people treat and view your child. If your child demonstrates a lack of concern for other children and adults, then they will follow suit and show little respect for your child.
Teaching your child to think about other people's feelings will help them to be the first to set the tone of new relationships. Social skills are important for learning, building relationships, communication and more. Children lacking manners have a very difficult time being accepted by other children.
Let's take sharing, as an example. It is definitely polite to go ask another child if they would like a turn with your toy. If a child shares and takes turns, then they have made the other child happy. Children want to repeat things that are pleasing to them. If it was fun to play with your child, then that child will be excited to play with your son or daughter again. Not only that, they will treat your child with the same respect that was demonstrated earlier.
In turn, your child will experience satisfaction by receiving positive feedback for sharing. This will further instill the value of being considerate and the child will actually want to be polite. Adversely, if your child does not have good social skills or manners, then other children will avoid them.
Teaching manners is relatively easy, especially if you start early. Children as young as one year old can learn to say "please", "thank you", and "you're welcome". At this age, they will learn simply by imitating you. It is very important to be a constant role model for your children.
As your child gets older, it you will probably face more resistance. Sharing is the first big social hurdle that most parents face. You can ease into your first attempt at teaching the new skill. If possible, get some new preschool toys and tell your child that these are "big boy" or "big girl" toys that are made for sharing. Something easy to share, like a train table or an activity table, is a great choice. When your child does share, or at least tolerate another child playing with the same toy, praise them as much as you can.
Some manners are easier to teach than others. Be patient and be a good role model. Teach your child one type of manners at a time. There are table manners, phone manners, visitor manners, church manners, school manners, and more. You can simply teach them to treat others as they would like to be treated and it covers most of the bases.
Making manners come as second nature takes starting early and being consistent. Lead by example and you'll be through half the battle of teaching this important life skill.

Mentoring Can Save Single-Parent Children
The dangers for single-parent children have only been exacerbated by a recession that has forced children in single-parent households to spend more time alone while mom or dad spends extra time at work.
According to the National Center on Health Statistics, single-parent children are at risk for a wide variety of problems in later life.
• Fatherless children are 100 to 200 percent more likely to have emotional and behavioral problems.
• Fatherless sons are 300 percent more likely to be incarcerated in state juvenile institutions.
• Fatherless men are 35 percent more likely to experience marital failure.
• Fatherless daughters are 92 percent more likely to fail in their own marriages.
• Eight-five percent of children who exhibit anti-social behavior disorders are from fatherless homes.
One expert, who was mentored himself at an early age, believes that mentoring - from inside or outside of a child's family - can help fill the gaps for children in single-parent households.
"Children in their formative years are looking for direction from an adult in their life," said Paul Hansen, author of Turnaround Summer from Book Publisher's Network (www.turnaroundsummer.com). "This guidance should preferably come from a parent, but the real qualification is that it be from someone who always listens closely, reinforces positive actions, and with guidance encourages kids to go beyond their comfort zone. Young minds are curious and need direction, discipline and an outlet for their creativity. And this is not just a single-parent family phenomenon. Traditional families, caught by the stresses of making ends meet and a faster-paced life, experience similar issues, so their children could benefit from mentoring, as well."
Hansen understands that concept from experience, having been mentored at a time in his life when he was heading down the wrong path.
"I lived this, and I speak from first hand experience about the power of that turnaround summer," he said. "I was taken out in the wilderness and taught how to survive off the land. I didn't realize about the conditions, about the fact that I was totally in for a surprise or, better yet, a shock about how survival in the wilderness takes place. That experience changed my life and paved the way for me to be successful in business and in life. It taught me what it really took to be a man, a husband and a provider."
That shock turned to understanding when Hansen saw that the survival training was a metaphor for life.
"That summer, I learned how a structured family goes about the daily routines of farm life, how to make a living with the skills of an outdoorsman, how to treat people that depend on you with respect, and most of all, that we affect the people in our lives by what we do or do not do," he said. "Children need a positive influence at this time in their lives. They will engage that which is present around them in an attempt to build self esteem, a sense of belonging, and to rise up in knowledge - good or bad - whatever the environment around them has to offer."

3 Suggestions For Your Online Baby Book
My first advice is to remember to make it your book as detailed as possible but not to the level of being boring or repetitive. You may be surprised with everything your little one does now, but years later you may well find yourself having repeated same wonders again and again. Instead of writing alone invite family members to help. New contributors are sure to make the baby book more interesting.
Second, it is a good idea to start just after your baby is born. This will help you write small things each time gradually. There is little chance of forgetting anything. You will see that there will be so many surprises that if you don't write down then and there, you will find it hard to keep track of.
The most important point of a baby book is to add as many photos of your child as possible. Snap a picture with everyone and put it in your book. This will make nice memories once your child grows up and sees this book as many of these people may not be around then. Also remember to take lots of photos with the two of you and add them in the book as special moments with Mama and Dada. You will be surprised to notice how fast your baby changes in physical appearance in the first year of his life!
Now if you are worried how you can do all these, you should try BabyChapters.com. You can sign up there for free and get a great online baby book for your child.
They will give you a custom online baby book where you can put all the details of your child by using some simple tools. Once you have done this, you can personalize your baby book in the way you want to. There are absolutely no restrictions to your creativity there. When you think your baby is too old for a baby book then you can get this book professionally printed with hard covers at BabyChapters.com.

Puppy Love
Everybody loves puppies. Who can resist those cute little faces and wet noses? Puppies can be a lot of fun, but they also come with a lot of added responsibility.
More than five million puppies are born every year in the United States. In fact, one in every three families owns one or more dogs. A female dog carries her puppies for a term of approximately 60 days before they are born. Puppies are born blind, deaf, and with very little sense of smell. Their eyes stay closed for about 10-15 days. By four weeks old they have complete vision. A puppy’s sense of smell and hearing develops quickly. Puppies have 28 temporary teeth, which start to appear around 3-4 weeks. Their 42 permanent teeth begin to emerge around four months. Be sure to have plenty of chew toys for your puppy. Puppies need to chew to stimulate the loss of their baby teeth and to help place their permanent teeth.
Puppies like to stay cuddled up close to their mother and siblings to stay warm and feel secure. Because puppies are somewhat dependent on their mother and need to learn to get along with other dogs, they should stay with their mother for at least eight weeks.
A new puppy should be chosen with great care. A new owner must not think only of himself, but also about people around him. A mischievous or noisy puppy can be a great nuisance to neighbors. Most importantly, a new owner must think of the comfort and well being of the puppy. Here are some questions a new owner may want to ask himself. Does the puppy have a clean place to stay and does it need a cage or pen? Is the puppy the right size for the house or apartment where it will live? Will your puppy need more exercise than it can be given? A puppy needs to work off excess energy every day. Do you prefer a playful puppy or a docile one? Will the puppy be easy to keep clean? Will you be able to give him plenty of the right kind of food? Can you afford the veterinary care your new puppy will need? Your puppy will need to receive it’s first vaccine at 6-8 weeks, then it will need boosters at 12 and 16 weeks.
Puppies are fun and full of tons of wiggly energy. Enjoy your puppy. Be sure to give your puppy a name befitting of it’s personality and call it by name often. Show your commitment to the puppy by bolstering it’s self esteem with lots of affection, attention, and rewards. Your puppy is bound to give you years of unconditional love and friendship. Soon you will be calling it “puppy love”.

More than five million puppies are born every year in the United States. In fact, one in every three families owns one or more dogs. A female dog carries her puppies for a term of approximately 60 days before they are born. Puppies are born blind, deaf, and with very little sense of smell. Their eyes stay closed for about 10-15 days. By four weeks old they have complete vision. A puppy’s sense of smell and hearing develops quickly. Puppies have 28 temporary teeth, which start to appear around 3-4 weeks. Their 42 permanent teeth begin to emerge around four months. Be sure to have plenty of chew toys for your puppy. Puppies need to chew to stimulate the loss of their baby teeth and to help place their permanent teeth.
Puppies like to stay cuddled up close to their mother and siblings to stay warm and feel secure. Because puppies are somewhat dependent on their mother and need to learn to get along with other dogs, they should stay with their mother for at least eight weeks.
A new puppy should be chosen with great care. A new owner must not think only of himself, but also about people around him. A mischievous or noisy puppy can be a great nuisance to neighbors. Most importantly, a new owner must think of the comfort and well being of the puppy. Here are some questions a new owner may want to ask himself. Does the puppy have a clean place to stay and does it need a cage or pen? Is the puppy the right size for the house or apartment where it will live? Will your puppy need more exercise than it can be given? A puppy needs to work off excess energy every day. Do you prefer a playful puppy or a docile one? Will the puppy be easy to keep clean? Will you be able to give him plenty of the right kind of food? Can you afford the veterinary care your new puppy will need? Your puppy will need to receive it’s first vaccine at 6-8 weeks, then it will need boosters at 12 and 16 weeks.
Puppies are fun and full of tons of wiggly energy. Enjoy your puppy. Be sure to give your puppy a name befitting of it’s personality and call it by name often. Show your commitment to the puppy by bolstering it’s self esteem with lots of affection, attention, and rewards. Your puppy is bound to give you years of unconditional love and friendship. Soon you will be calling it “puppy love”.

Positioning is everything
Have you ever heard the phrase “Oh, I just slept wrong last night”? The person has a sore shoulder or hip or other joint, and they think it’s because of the way that they slept? Well, it might not be because of the position they slept in. It might be because of their mattress.
Getting a good night’s sleep depends on a couple of things. Some you’'ve already heard about, like going to bed early and getting at least seven hours of sleep. Others, like how you should allow yourself to wake up on your own instead of be jolted out of sleep by an alarm, you might not have heard of. And still others, like your sleep needs to be unbroken, you might think are beyond your control.
That would be where you’re wrong. The quality of the sleep you’re getting while you’re sleeping is not beyond your control. It all comes down to the mattress that you’re using. If you have an uncomfortable mattress, you’re sure to be tossing and turning all night. You might wake up with a crick in your neck from not enough support, or from too little support. Or you may wake up with sore joints. In any of these cases, you’re not getting any unbroken sleep. You’re waking up just enough to move around before going back to sleep again.
In order for your sleep to be restful, you need to cycle in and out of REM sleep around five times. If you don’t do so, you’re not getting the amount of sleep that your brain needs to function at its highest level. This is a problem. The reason why moving up towards waking in your sleep cycle reduces your REM time is that there are many stages of the cycle that you need to go through before reaching REM. If you don’t manage to make it through the fourth cycle, called delta sleep, before your uncomfortable mattress makes you wake up and shift around, you’re not getting the sleep that you need.
Memory foam mattress changes this. It’s designed to be the ultimate comfortable mattress. Whatever position you like to sleep in, the memory foam mattress will mold itself to that, creating a surface that is molded perfectly to your body. The way it works is that the foam is stiff until it’s heated with your body heat. Then it allows you to sink down.
The only places that your body heats up are the places that it’s touching; therefore the mattress becomes perfectly molded to the shape of your body, allowing you to get a full night of good sleep. You won’t be telling people you slept wrong anymore if you switch to a memory foam mattress or Divan bed.
