postheadericon The Dos and Don’ts of TV Viewing


There is a reason television is called the ultimate babysitter. Here’s why you should not treat it that way.

With the proliferation of so many educational shows and easy access to kiddie cable channels, more and more, parents/mommy think that it is okay to let their kids watch and learn from TV viewing. The early years are vital to a child’s development, and studies have yet to prove the absolute positive effects of television on infants and toddlers. However, researches on the benefits of parent and child interactions are already proven. Thus, recommended stimulation for children under the age of two must focus more on playing, singing, talking, reading, listening to music and meaningful communication between the child and parent. But if you really cannot avoid putting your child in front of the boob tube, you desperately need to distract her for a few minutes while you finish an urgent chore, or set time limits on TV viewing.

postheadericon Shopping


Almost 90 percent of Internet surfers (mostly mommy/ies, I think) have engaged in at least window shopping while on the Internet. Of those that have purchased something on the World Wide Web, there seem to be common features and platforms that online shoppers like and dislike about electronic storefronts. Page Loads Lagging web pages have already been a curse to visitor conversion statistics. No one wants a shopping journey process to sit and twiddle e-thumbs while a merchant's website loads pages slowly. Images and complicated programming can pull page load times into the “ether eternity” ranges. Webmasters, ensure your merchant sites keep up with today's technology and speed. Shopping Carts On the positive side of elements, shoppers love shopping carts on commercial sites. They love the convenience of saving individual items until they're ready to head to the check-out line. They don't want, though, involvement with any kind of online shopping cart software that tracks purchase history, captures and automatically adds their names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses to any kind of marketing list. Sales Pages Online shoppers like payment confirmation pages: Most online payment venues provide them, but always test your potential online shopping cart software to ensure it performs as advertised. The page should include UPC or SKU data, date and time of purchase, billing and shipping address, total purchase amount and applicable sales tax and an independent purchase tracking number or confirmation number. Summary Watch the few shopper dislikes and ensure your site has the listed shopper preferences, and you might find a greater Return on Investment or higher profit margin as you tailor your site for visitor retention and conversion.

postheadericon Developing Gross Motor Skills for Toddlers


Play a game of bowling or throwing with your child, using a small ball that she can easily manipulate. Line up objects she can bowl over such as recycled plastic bottles, plastic cups, or anything that could be used as a target. This improves her coordination as well as her muscles’ strength. Hanging ball from the ceiling is also effective on developing her motor skills by encouraging her to jump up and tap it with her palm. Anyway, use balls of different sizes, weight and textures.

When you are playing outside your home, playing bubbles is also good. Just blow bubbles and encourage her to chase after them, to pop or step on them as they float about or settle on the ground. Use a variety of materials like blocks and boxes that your child can walk, run or crawl over, under and through. Your child will learn easiest by imitation, so you should participate in the activity and demonstrate to her how to play the games.

A very good reminder for me toward my toddler is to have this always in mind.. :)

White jeans for men are a contemporary fashion statement, and this pair in traditionally fitted boot cut white denim makes that statement possible for everyone. These quality jeans tell anyone watching that the man wearing them is a confident individualist with an eye for style, an appreciation of craftsmanship and a sense of twenty-first century fashion. Gents can pair them with a blazer and an open-neck shirt in the workplace or add a colorful tank and head to the beach. They go with subdued neutral sweaters in winter and bright casual wear in the summer. When a man has to look right for a date without going over the top, white jeans are the way to go. Even guys who lounge around the house bare-footed and bare-chested in nothing but their trousers look better if those trousers are white jeans. Made of heavy 12 ounce denim with traditional rivets at the stress points and a heavy brass zipper, this pair of white jeans is destined to last well into the future and become their owner's go-too casual trousers.
