Ceramic rings are a new phenomenon in the jewelry industry. The name itself sounds like a fragile piece of jewelry. This actually couldn’t be further from the truth. The metal these are made of are zirconium. If you are family with cz diamonds you will be familiar with that name. Yep, it is the same metal that synthetic diamonds are made of. These synthetic diamonds are used widely in the oil industry. It doesn’t make too much business sense to ruin perfectly good real diamonds to drill for oil, so diamonds made out of zirconium are used to drill deep.
These rings are great in many ways. The metal they are made of are also used on high tech planes and also in bullet proof vests. They are durable and virtually scratch resistant. Not many people come across a metal that is almost as tough as a diamond. This makes it so you can have peace of mind when you are wearing your wedding band.
Ha! What a word. I don't know if that is an acceptable word, the "pacifier-ing". Smile. All I know that there's a word "pacifier" and that an action or a root word can have "ing" to merge with it. So which is which? *wink*
I don't have to deal with that since this is not a grammar blog. Ha! Alright, this blog is a baby or mommy blog, or the two so I have to focus on that. :-) Why not? Back to topic. My baby love, my one and only daughter was introduced to pacifier when she was still in the hospital. Yes, the nurse(s) and nurse assistants (I forgot the term they use of the nurse assistant) introduced it to her. Good thing she embraced it. It didn't take long for them to do the work of introducing it to her. It indeed a help. And I love the idea. Until now, she use her pacifier most especially when she sleeps. It only very seldom (if she's very sleepy) she won't signal where's her pacifier. :-) Take note, I love the texture of pacifier now than the time I was still an assistant nanny to my nephew (of my first cousin). And so hooray to the makers of pacifier much more to its improvement from hard to very soft at the same time is suit to the gums and mouth of a baby. I can tell it won't hurt a baby's teeth or gums because of how it is made, that is soft and the way it is shaped.
Are you a believer of most babies does the thumb-suck thing? I don't know if most does. But for the infants who use pacifier, I believe they also does the "thumb-suck" as in sucking-in the baby's thumb and put it on her mouth. As I do believe it is an alternative of an infant if the pacifier lost or cannot pick-up from her bed or alike. A mom friend of mine is in favor of thumb-suck than giving an infant a pacifier. She has many reasons why and one of it is, it is always available and safe for the gums or teeth and costless as long you never pay for water to clean his/her hands of a certain amount. *wink*
True enough, my baby love uses her thumb in lieu of her pacifier when she cannot pick it up away from her mouth. Or she would cry if can do both. :-)
What about you, what month is your son/daughter when she rolled-over? Anyway, I hope you all the best!
Notice my new blog layout?
One day in my Facebook moment, a lady (okay, her name starts with "Lady" too, coincidence huh *wink*) co-blogger friend of mine posted something which link-out unto her blog, seemed like it's a contest. To my curiosity I checked it out. And know what? Instead of checking out the contest I just bumped unto her
blog layout. Ha! And that's the start of my journey of contacting her. I never thought she's the Mystic Geek until she replied unto my email. She's nice, respectable and cool. She said she would help me. And this is the result. The picture I sent was small that's why it's stretch when seeing here (see the personalized header?), maybe I change the picture, for sure she would help me about it since she said she would (but if not, it's still alright with me and I can understand, after all, it's free. haha!), I would like to thank in advance of it. She's lovely, isn't she? Above all, she insist of being it free since she said her service is untimely and even if I like to give her something, I don't know where I send it so it's a blessing, aint it? Smile. Yes! Thanks sis Carmel! You are awesome!
And I would find my free time to make a favicon and badge soon. For now, this is a grateful post for her. Thanks again mommy (she's an adorable mommy of two)! I consider this blog layout as a gift from you. muahhh, muahhh!
Just a minute ago, a jumperoo came out on my mind. Yes, I saw a post of my friend to her friend baby how she likes being in a jumperoo. Then I thought of my baby love. She likes to straighten her body, as in she likes to enjoy standing-up. As much as she likes to stand, but she can't yet. She has a jumpster (which was given by my baby shower host, her Tita Dorie, thanks Dor) but since we don't have a stuff to hang it on, I like to think jumperoo is good for her. Why not, right? And I search for some. I already had an idea how much is it and some other stuffs related to it, in lieu of such if I don't like grabbing that color. Ooh well. I now need bucks. Ha! Not a good thought because it needs to spend but that's what money is, to spend for a need or a little want (if you have a lot, then you can spend on your much wants. Ha! Unfortunately, our standing is on the first phrase. So it's still not bad, I think.). I like to give her what she needs. And this one is one need (or again, a little want) so let's just see what I can come up. I don't want to end up buying like her cute pink bassinet, Dr. Brown's electric sterilizer and some others that end up returning or worse, it's just in the corner after first time use. Ah! Think, think, think! Have a great Sunday everyone! :-)

I was given a new Kindle for Christmas, and I absolutely love it. I was never a big reader growing up, but as I reached adulthood, I started to read more. Over the last few years I have learned to love reading. I enjoy fiction and nonfiction. I know that the Kindle is not new, but before I was given one I was not very familiar with them. They are pretty cool gadgets. They store literally thousands of books, and they sink with your Amazon.com account to download books instantly. We have our internet through
clear Honolulu, and I simply get online and manage my Kindle account. The Kindle purchases books and the account automatically updates online. I have already downloaded three books that I have been meaning to read. The Kindle is so amazing because it reads just like a book. Those of you who have one know what I am talking about. The screen does not look like a computer screen but a book. I feel like I am reading a book instead of reading off of a computer screen. This is one of the coolest, most useful Christmas gifts I have ever received.
My baby love, Sam, had her 4th month immunization. She had it on her legs, one on each. She cried loud. Good thing it was not a long crying time. Yep, she has a big voice now. I remember she was on her cardiologist appointment on her 4th month, she was also crying, not only because of a needle of vaccination but also because she felt cold in the room, undressed (that's the instruction). That was the first time I heard of her big voice and the first time she cried out loud. She never been like that. But that time, she did. Ooh well, instead I should pity her (but of course I pamper her), I just cannot help, but also smile a bit because of that first loud cry.
And so her 4th month immunization went fine. She got two shots both her legs. She should have more but the doctor decided to give the other next month to be gentle on her immune system since she been through a lot already. As usual, I gave her an infant pain reliever as we reached home to combat fever. And true enough she is doing fine now. Meaning, no pain or fever present. Thanks goodness.
This mommy that you're with had been in a difficult situation and even haven't blog more about my one and only baby girl. After months plus, after she was born. It's time for me to get out of my shell and face the world wide web. Am ready now. Ready to face whatever circumstances would barge our way. Am stronger than before. Yes, am ready! And so, let's go! Let's go sharing how beautiful being a mom. There are trials and even modern technology can't detect during pregnancy would happen a day plus, a child was born. Inevitable, yes it is! It would hurt you. For sure, it is devastating in the part of the parents especially of a mom. Being sad is an understatement especially when family and friends (not quite, am thankful my friends sometimes visit me) aren't there on your side to assist something that you're in need of. The hands-on system of care. Ooh well, that's what life is. It sometimes taste our patience and what we are capable of. Being a mom is not easy but worth it. It makes a family or a person complete.
If someone tells you that motherhood is a very fabulous job, look that someone in the eye and ask him whether he’d based this statement on real life experiences or he is simply reacting on hear-say! Motherhood indeed is one of the dirtiest jobs I know, well don’t get me wrong, I love being a mom and I have no trouble being one for the rest of my life, but won’t you agree when I say, moms are always the one they look up to whenever a dirty job gets to be done around the house? Not to be graphic here but just imagine all the diaper days (and nights, too!) and all those episodes when you have to clean up all the mess a toddler, or even a grown up, makes! And don’t even get me started about the house and all the messy nook and crannies a mom has to tackle a dozen times over in her lifetime.
It was a relief to know, though, that we can always count on some reliable partners to help us get the job done, think about
Shenandoah Junk removal. With a comprehensive site, I will have no trouble getting rid of my junk and keeping my home spic and span. With friendly, professional and reliable crew, they will help me get the job done in no time and with less imaginable mess, too! And with a responsible disposal policy, I need not worry about my junk ending up in already-full-to-the-brim landfills. And did I say they do it all at a very reasonable price and that they will arrive with a single call from your phone? Sheer brilliance, if you’d ask me + if I were you, I will waste no time in dialing their hotline to start getting rid of all that junk in your home!
Today commemorates the day of Martin Luther King, Jr., one prominent person in the history. This is the day the people of United States of America remembers what he has done and will be remembered through and through. When someone does/did/do something for the good of the many, one must just deserve of being famous and be remembered. This day just show how a humble act toward mankind has to gain worth.
On the other hand, mommies must be busy today doing some cooking or preparing the table for family gathering since it is holiday. Have a great bonding guys! Once again, happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! Have fun and enjoy responsibly. :-)
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
All good things must come to an end, and this is exactly what happened between Walgreens and Express Script. Walgreens wanted new provisions in their contract with Express Scripts like steady
rates, discounts for military men and women, and 90-day refills at the pharmacy. However, Express
Scripts wasn’t willing to negotiate these new terms. So now, Express Scripts members would have to
look for other alternatives, and this is unfortunate because Walgreens, with its many branches, is easily
accessible, operates 24/7, and even has drive-thru pharmacies.
Even TriCare members, mostly military men and women, were affected with this partnership failure.
TriCare is a health and prescription drug program for men and women in the military that allows them
to avail of prescription drugs at much lower rates. Nevertheless, Walgreens is negotiating something so
that this service won’t face any disruptions.
At the same time, Walgreens is encouraging people to try the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club.
This program would benefit everyone, Express Scripts member or not. The annual membership for this
club is $20 for individuals and $35 for families. However, for the whole month of January, individuals can
join for just $5 and families may do so for $10. Those who will join this club are automatically entitled to
enjoy on more than 8,000 generic and non-generic medications.
If you want to find out more about this program, be sure to like Walgreens on Facebook and follow the
updates of Walgreens on Twitter.
Who said only adults experience hair loss?
Not you, maybe. Actually most newborns experience hair loss as I read it somewhere and to my experience of seeing infants. And am not surprise my baby love would experience the same. Yes, her hair is losing (she's not totally bald, it's the area where she use to sleep it in, on her back sides). Even if I know newborns losses their hairs, I still ask her pediatrician (which I talk two days ago) if it's normal for her and she said yes. One thing also I ask if anything we (her parents) can do about it. She said, we just have to wait since her hair will regrow. And that made me feel relieve. :-) I can't wait the time she could have her long hair. But for now, I'll just enjoy it. :-)
What about you, is your newborn also loses her/his hairs?
I know, it already passed the countdown for the welcome of year 2012. Yeah, right, it is already year twenty-twelve. Let's welcome it with positive vibes and goodbye and bad thoughts along with negative happenings in the previous year (or rather years *wink*). Life is precious! Let's journey it with smile and strong convection of what life is really is. Never be afraid and ignore the negative vibes. So let's hand in hand the positive attitude and view life as giving and sharing, mutual interest, that is. What could be better than that? Perhaps that also what's on your mind now. Great! There are now many aims and does the start, let's begin (or rather continue the good ways)! Happy New and Prosperous New Year mommies, mommies-to-be, daddies and all!
There are couple of reasons why one like to start online shopping as soon as the New Year celebration frenzy died down, including: (1) buying new stuffs for the little one, (2) buying new stuff for the house to welcome the New Year and (3) some cash to spare to fund this worthwhile activity.
Buying online can be quite a risky venture if you do not know the ins and outs of how this alternative way of shopping goes about. For starters, I am doing a bit of reading on
nomorerack reviews online just so I can get a clear grasp of how these things work and browsing at
nomorerack deals at the same time to take note of items I’d like to purchase once am done doing with my reading. There are a lot of ways and means actually on how to do such but for now, that's what my mind dictates. Am not so much fond of shopping but it is a must especially when we already a mom aside from being a homemaker. Happy New Year everyone!
