A New Generation

June 4th, 2011

I turned 25 last week and all of my brothers were in the same room for the first time in over a year. It’s not that we aren’t close, it’s just that they are all older and have families of their own now. I being the youngest have much more freedom than they do. My oldest brother even has a kid in high school. Together they have eleven sons and daughters, so it’s safe to say that fertility isn’t an issue in my family. But when they all gathered for my birthday, I started to realize that there is a whole new generation in my family.

It has definitely been weird having parents that were much older than any of my friends’ parents. But I had a great time growing up because I was the youngest, which meant that I got away with the most. During my party one of my sister-in-laws announced that she was pregnant. It was great news and we all started coming up with popular baby boy names, because she is sure that she is going to have a boy. And if she does, that will be one more nephew to have in my beautiful family.

The Unique Present

May 24th, 2011

Last year my mom got me this really unique personalized jewelry box for my twenty fifth birthday. She had found it at this antique shop that she always shops at. When I first saw it I almost started crying because it was so beautiful. She even had my initials inscribed in gold on top of it, which looked really nice. I’ve cherished the gift ever since I first got it, and it’s where I keep my most prized possessions. Hopefully one day I’ll have a daughter so I can pass it down to her.

I was thinking about this gift when my best friend in the whole world told me that she was getting married. She also asked me to be her maid of honor, which I graciously accepted. Now with this came a great deal of responsibility. I had to throw lots of gatherings and shop for personalized bridesmaids gifts, but it was all for a good cause. I even asked my mom where that antique store was so that I could go there and see if they had anything that would be fitting for the wedding. We went there together and picked out several lovely and unique presents.

Working Mother, Child Obesity Vulnerable

May 13th, 2011
Mothers who choose to work should pay attention to their kids food intake. A study showed that lack of time to cook healthy meals and irregular sleep patterns to make children prone to obesity.Parenting as well as a career woman has been chosen the mothers of today. It is not wrong, maybe with your work can help increase family income husbands. However, the need for smart tricks to balance time between family, work, self, and social life. If not, there will be chaos in your household.

A recent study showed that mothers who spend more time working outside the home tend to have children who are overweight. The study, funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), appears in the edition January / February 2011 journal Child Development.

The researchers from American University, Cornell University, and University of Chicago in the United States was analyzing data from 900 children of school age there. They found that cumulative time a mother who worked closely associated with increased body mass index (body mass index / BMI) of children. Although relatively small, but easily measurable. BMI is a division between body weight and height that produces the size of a person is overweight or not.

“It seems that a factor is the environment, ie the total time working mother and not because of works that contribute to improving a child’s BMI,” said study author Taryn W. Morrissey, an assistant professor of public administration and policy at American University, USA.

“So, one possible policy implication is to do more to help working parents find ways of quick and easy to prepare healthy food,” he said as quoted by page healthday.com.

Morrissey and his colleagues analyzed data from NICHD’s Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development, which began in 1991 and involving 1300 newborns in 10 cities in the United States. For this study, they examined data from 900 children collected by telephone and personal interviews as a child in grade 3.5, and 6.

“For the average height of children in third grade pupils, increased BMI equal size with the addition of one level and 0.3 to one kilogram overweight, compared to the addition of normal occurred in a year,” said Morrissey. The effect was even greater among children grade 5 and 6.

“This is probably due to the fifth and sixth graders generally have greater independence and the nature of adult supervision to lower-than the use of time and their food choices than the third graders. Mothers who work resulted in the selection of food the child becomes ill and rarely do physical activity, “wrote the researchers in this study.

Alison E Field, an obesity researcher and professor of child health at Harvard Medical School, United States, said that this study highlights the challenges faced by all parents who work because they must balance the demands of responsibilities between work and family.

As a woman matures, her body becomes curvier than it was when she was in her twenties. In many parts of the world, this body shape is revered as the apex of womanhood. Unfortunately, no one in the fashion capitals of New York City and Paris seem to have received this message.

Too many fashion designers fail to acknowledge the huge number of women who with shapely robust figures. Maybe women in Paris don’t have hips, or have babies, but in the rest the world they do. A few designers, like Karen Kane, understand that women come in all shapes and sizes and make clothing that lets them express that beauty.

Clever fashion designers have long known how to flatter a woman’s figure while keeping extra bulges and curves under control. Tribal sportswear, a Canadian clothing manufacturer, makes bright, stylish clothing lines that include tummy control and hidden expandable waist bands.

Foxcroft blouses work on the same principle and provide sunny styles that fit well without pulling and tugging. And this line is made from wrinkle free fabrics that never need ironing.

They may not be as well known as Calvin Klein, but there are a few clothing manufacturers out there that really understand what a woman looks like.

Often times, all you’ll need is something as simple as new bed quilts to give your room a whole new feeling.

A guest room can be easily transformed in a nursery with just a quick coat of paint and few accessories like baby quilts and mobile. Once the baby is a little bigger, the room can be given a more grown up look.

Common areas like family rooms or great rooms can, and should be, regularly given a new look with paint or home furnishings. Most families are amazed at how much a new color on the walls or a new set of poster prints can make in a heavily used room. Some families even change themes with regularity with holiday decorations or even nautical home decor. It doesn’t matter what it is, so long as it give the room a new look.
