Finding The Best Flowers For Mother's Day

By Martin Elmer

Mothers Day is a once-a-year thing, so you want to do it right. And you have decided to give your mother flowers, but might not know what to do next.

An option is to visit your local gas station and grab the first bunch you see, but your mother will probably not like the flowers. So instead you should take your time and look around for a better option. If you mother lives locally, the best option is to visit a florist.

Admittedly this is a scary prospect, especially for those of a male gender but you will get good advice and it's always best to see the product you're buying. Also local delivery is usually fairly reliable, so even if you can't deliver them in person it's still a good choice.

The best option, if you cannot buy locally, is by telephone or on the internet. Here you cannot get the same advices, so you must have an idea of, which kinds of flowers you are looking for; and how much it must cost. And make sure that the company provides some kind of guarantee, if something goes wrong.

Using a search engine on the internet you can find hundreds of florist; with almost the same service. So look at the small differences. And remember that choosing the biggest company is not always the best option. It might be better to choose a local one near your mother's home.

Lastly make sure someone is around to take the delivery. If she's not at home when the delivery arrives then you often lose any entitlement to recompense for late or non-delivery. If necessary ask a neighbor to accept the delivery, otherwise you may spoil the surprise.

Following those few advices will make sure that your mother gets a very nice surprise on Mother's Day; and makes you the favorite son or daughter. - 31371

The Stylish And Hot Functional Mia Bossi Diaper Bag

By Henry Jeon

For new moms, one of the most important things they'll need is a diaper bag. But it's not easy finding one that's functional, but also fashionable at the same time. The Mia Bossi Diaper Bag is both functional AND fashionable. Mia Bossi has a large line of high couture diaper bags for new mothers. The bags are completely designer, yet still manage to stay very functional while looking like a top of the line diaper bag.

When buying a diaper bag the first thing you want to look for is functionality. It should have plenty of pockets to hold bottles, washcloths, and pacifiers. It should also be large enough to hold extra diapers, wipes, and infant clothing.

A lot of diaper bags all have the same look. They're plain, bland, and not as colorful. They come in childlike patterns and don't match a thing. Those women who want something that doesn't seem to be a diaper bag yet is still fashionable might like the Mia Bossi.

This way you can have an amazing bag that looks beautiful while still functioning as a diaper bag. The Mia Bossi diaper bag is high couture for those mothers who love high fashion. You won't even be able to tell it's a diaper bag. The Mia Bossi slogan is "Diapers In Disguise". This goes to show just how not like a diaper bag the Mia Bossi looks.

Mia Bossi was started in 2005 by Janet Lee and Angie Chun. They had created a line of dog carriers called PeTote couture. Caroline Kang, a vet tech that worked with PeTote couture, teamed up with them to create the Mia Bossi line. Their philosophy is simple. It's "Function meets fabulous".

Tired of seeing the same boring and usual diaper bags, the designers decided they wanted to create a line that made new mothers feel fashionable without having to resort to ugly diaper bags. The good thing is that you can use the bag for a long time, since it doubles as a purse and computer case. So once baby is grown, the bag is still functional.

The bag can also has straps included that can be attached to the backs of strollers. This is especially helpful, since it's not easy to push a stroller, care for an infant, and constantly be hefting a heavy bag on your shoulder. The bag is easily attached to the stroller and instructions can be found online.

Each Mia Bossi diaper bag is made from fine Italian leather and brass finished metal hardware. Each bag is inspired by Italian couture. It's not cheap but the bag will probably last you a lifetime. Plus, once baby is older, you can use it as a purse or a travel bag.

Mia Bossi is featured in magazines and is a celebrity favorite. Featuring tons of colors and designs like zebra, the bag has a keychain holder, cellphone holder, and zippered pockets. It's been seen in Star and People magazine and also in Pregnancy magazine. - 31371

Are you wondering how to get pregnant fast? Well there are a number of things that you can do that will help you conceive that dream child in no time.

It is important that both you and your partner have both been certified okay and physically able to have children by your doctors. If you have both been cleared then getting pregnant should not be difficult at all.

In this article I will share why and how your first step should be increasing the quality and quantity of your cervical mucus. Doing this alone could greatly increase the odds of your getting pregnant in any given month and help you get pregnant fast.

How to Increase the quantity and quality of your cervical fluid:

Also called your cervical mucus, it is a very important component if you are looking to conceive.

Firstly,it provides nourishment, mobility and a medium in which the sperm can move, thrive and live, all of which are important to the conception process.

Secondly, it provides an alkaline medium to protect the sperm from an otherwise acidic vagina and so helps the sperm to live longer in you.

What are the steps you can take to improve the quality of your cervical fluid so that you can get pregnant fast.

a) Drink water and plenty of it. To get the most benefit, drink boiled clean filtered water.

b) Eat foods high in Vitamin A e.g. baby carrots. Vitamin A helps to improve the quality and quantity of your cervical fluid.

c) Take plain Robitussin: Make sure the Robitussin you take is has nothing else in it. This will help to thin your cervical fluid even further and aid the mobility of the sperm.

So in answer to your question, how to get pregnant fast, the answer is to start working on your cervical fluid. But so many factors contribute to your getting pregnant that it is impossible to discuss it all in a single article. - 31371

How Do I Get Pregnant? 3 Steps Guaranteed to Help You Get Pregnant Fast.

By Claire Churchill

How Do I Get Pregnant? This is perhaps one question on your mind if you have been trying to get pregnant for some time and nothing seems to be happening.

Did you know that several factors contribute to how you get pregnant and even if you did "everything right" your chances of getting in any one month is about 25% to 30%?

So to answer that all important question, "How Do I get Pregnant?" below are 3 action steps to getting pregnant and by using them you will greatly increase the odds of you getting pregnant in any one month.

1. Know Your Fertile Days Of The Month.

For the next few months keep a record of your menstrual flow. The goal is to get to a point where you can pin point with great accuracy the day you are likely to ovulate in a month.

The day you ovulate is when you ovary releases an egg and that egg has to be fertilised within the next 24 hours otherwise it disintegrates and is shed in your monthly cycle.

There are several methods you can use to know the precise day in which you likely to ovulate:

1. the Cervical Mucus Method (CM),

2. The Basal Body Temperature (BBT)

3. The Use of ovulation kits.

2. If you sincerely want to answer the question "How Do I get Pregnant" then you have to avoid Any Form Of Lubrication.

Did you know that virtually all store bought lubricants, including saliva kill sperm? So lubricants like Vaseline, vegetable oils, petroleum jelly and glycerine are a no no for now.

You can use raw egg whites as a lubricant. They are cheap and also support your partners sperm on their journey!

3. Go Easy on the Vitamin C, research has shown that too much vitamin c decreases your cervical fluid.

Taking some vitamin C (in small doses) is actually a good idea, because it helps to improve the quality and quantity of your cervical fluid and this will in turn increase your fertility.

Your cervical fluid is crucial for helping to get your partner's sperm to your cervix and on to your uterus, where it will eventually meet up with your egg for fertilisation to take place.

But too much vitamin C can have the opposite effect on your fertility. It can cause cervical fluid to dry up and without it to transport your partner's sperm to where it is needed you can kiss getting pregnant goodbye.

You should never take doses larger than 1,000mg/day while trying to conceive even in the cold winter months

In answer to your burning question, How do I get pregnant, we have looked at 3 things you can do right away that will help you get pregnant fast but it is virtually impossible to discuss everything you need to know in one single article. - 31371

By L.J. James

There once was a young couple who lived in a beautiful town. They had the best of everything. Their love was strong and real. When their first child was born she was the most beautiful child they had ever seen.The couple believed their life to be perfect.

One day when their Daughter was about seven years old the Couple was in a car crash.Checking his wife right away the husband was relived to see she was ok. They both had received only a few scratches.They turned to check on their young daughter and as soon as they saw her both of them burst into tears.The wife started screaming NO GOD ! PLEASE GOD NO ! Their pain was felt by anyone and everyone who happened to be around them that day. The Beautiful young child had passed on and left this world .

During the funeral the deceased child's mother kept asking why ? Why my child? oh dear Lord why? People paying there respects to this wonderful couples most beautiful child tried to console her. They told her things like "It is the Lords will" and "She is in Heaven now" These things did not help the child's Mother and she cursed God Saying to the People "There is no God" for if there was such a God how could he allow something so terrible to happen? Surely he would have saved my child and she would still be here with us!!

Years passed by as they always do and the pain this Couple felt started to ease. They had more children over the years, all very beautiful None quite as beautiful as their first one.Their life went back to being as close to perfect as can be.But Every time the women heard something bad had happened in the world it reinforced her belief that there was no God and no Heaven up above,For surely no God would allow such terrible things to happen in this world !!!

One day as the Woman was walking to the store she heard these screams "NO LORD PLEASE LORD NO" The tone of the screams took her back to the death of her child and she ran toward the sound of them. She saw the woman who was screaming and behind her she could see a building on fire, My Child is in there Screamed the woman! Pointing to the building engulfed in flames. Knowing the pain this woman would go threw and not wishing it on anyone she raced into the building. Flames shot at her and she could feel them burning her but the pain was some where else and did not hurt her .As the flames got larger and the heat got much hotter the woman thought this is what hell must be like! Then she thought but there is no hell for if there is No God and No Heaven then there can't be a Hell can there? These thoughts passed threw the woman's mind as she felt herself begin to grow tired.

As She felt herself about to pass out the Women saw a child in the distance and with new found strength she started walking towards the child. As she got closer she could see it was the most beautiful young girl she had ever seen . When she reached the child the child spoke hello mother it is I your Daughter the one killed in that car accident those many years ago. No the Woman said you are gone your Dead. Dead yes I may be Mother but gone no I have never left you .I have always been in your heart and you in mine. But I am with the Father now in the most Wonderful Kingdom imaginable. With who? asked the Woman , The Father God answered the child the one you denounced upon my death. No said the woman there can't be a GOD or a heaven For surely no God would allow the Terrible things to Happen that happen upon this earth. Terrible things are done by terrible people answered the child and they will answer for their sins in the afterlife have no fear of that my Mother, The Lord will see that justice is done.

But what of you asked the Mother you where not taken from me by a terrible person it was an accident why did the Lord take you from me. The Child smiled at her Mother and spoke Mother what you see as the most terrible thing ever is not. For I am in the Kingdom of the Lord and there is no greater reward then that ! My life on Earth was short Mother, I agree with you on that but Mother let me let you in on a little secret "All life on Earth is short" It is just a blink of the eye to the Father. Miss me Mother for I know you always will, But have faith in the Father for if you believe in him and follow his words you will be with me again one day and then you will feel no pain or sorrow ever again. The Mother reached down picked up her child closing her eyes and hugging the child to her bosom, She heard a voice that was not her Daughters say "I will always Love you my Child"

The woman opened her eyes and she saw lights and heard sirens and the voices of many people. Not sure what was going on she looked down at her child only to see that she was not holding her child but a small young boy. The Woman who she had seen screaming was grabbing for this child saying Thank you oh thank you Lord for sending this Woman to rescue my Child ,In my heart Lord I always knew you would save him, for surely you would never allow something so terrible to happen !!!!

7 Popular Reasons Why Opening a Daycare in Your House is a Good Move

By Maya Ben-Joseph

Do you want to stay home with your kids and earn an income at the same time?

Are you tired of commuting in the mornings and having to balance working outside the home with family responsibilities?

Do you like working with children?

If so, starting a daycare in your home is a business that might be just right for you. Here are the top reasons why a home daycare is a winning strategy:

1. Convenience

A home day care is convenient for so many reasons. First, you can earn money while staying at home with your children. Next, since there's no commute, there's no need to spend time driving to work and getting stuck in traffic everyday. Also, you can choose whether to care for toddlers, infants, or children just starting school. Last but not least, you get to be your own boss, set your hours, and be in charge of your daily routine.

2. Joy

Opening a daycare can be enjoyable because you get to work with young kids all day. You'll get to be in charge of arts and crafts, story time, recess outdoors and many other enjoyable early childhood activities that are an integral part of a day care service.

3. Witness your kids grow up

We all know that working outside the home comes at a steep price - missing out on lots of your own children's precious moments. If you stay at home with your children during their early years, you get to witness their first steps and words and savor plenty of precious moments. Also, you get to raise your kids as you see fit.

4. Income potential

This is not a regular home business, which gets purchased from once and forgotten. A home daycare is an essential and often in-demand service. Census statistics show that many families spend significantly on childcare. In two parent households, both parents work and most need childcare services. In states like New Jersey, parents pay on average over seven thousand dollars each year for their toddler to attend a family childcare. This means that to earn enough money for your needs, you might need to care for only a few children.

5. Affordable home business

Unless you are renting a location outside of the home or investing in expensive home renovations and plenty of new toys and furniture, a family daycare should not cost too much. In many cases, new daycare providers manage to get started with less than two thousand dollars. There are plenty of creative methods to finance the initial expenses, so don't let these figures intimidate you.

6. Save on various costs

By working from your house, you save on thousands each year on childcare costs for your own children. Also, by starting a daycare at home, you save money on commuting and work expenses, including gasoline and a corporate wardrobe, which also add up over the year.

7. Speedy start-up

Unlike other services, it is possible to open a daycare at home within a period of only weeks. There are some state regulations to fulfill before opening your doors, but these should not take you too long to meet.

To make a long story short, opening a childcare at home is an affordable and quality option for new mothers who prefer to be at home with their kids, earn money, and work in a meaningful career. - 31371

Starting Your Own Daycare - Ten Vital Things to Prepare For

By Monique Buzaglo

Starting a home daycare can be an exciting process, but there are many things to know before opening your doors for business. The following list contains several points for a prospective home daycare provider to ponder:

1. You are not a babysitter

A home daycare is not a babysitting side business, which is considered to be a low value service. You will offer much more than watching over the kids; you will teach them and nurture their emotional, physical and mental development.

2. Safety first

When starting your own home-based daycare, you must be safety-oriented. Every mom wants to send their kid to a safe environment, and therefore safety must be your top priority.

3. Record keeping

As a daycare provider, you must keep good records of all the money leaving and entering your account. You will also need to have on hand different forms and documentation regarding the kids under your supervision.

4. Minimizing risk

As a day care provider and business owner, you will need to minimize your risks in several places. This includes setting up the correct insurance and legal business entity, making sure you follow state rules and regulations, keeping the environment safe and clean, and of course, keeping an eye on the children under your supervision.

5. Activity planning

When opening a home daycare, you will need to get organized for daily activities. Such activities can include arts and crafts, singing, and hundreds of other quality learning activities. It's a good idea to do some research at your local library to discover activities that will interest the children under your care.

6. Nutrition

As a child care provider, you will be expected to make meals and snacks for the kids. It is wise to choose healthy and age-appropriate foods and avoid any choking hazards or food allergies.

7. Client communication

It is a good idea to treat the parents well, since they are your clients. Keep them up to date about what's going on at your day care. One idea is to send them a weekly monthly newsletter via e-mail or send a printed version home with their child.

8. Know your state rules

In many places, you can't just put out a shingle and declare you're open for business. Child care is regulated by each state and you should know the relevant laws and regulations.

9. Preventing burnout

Opening a daycare can be a great solution for many mothers, but it is wise to avoid burnout. One way of doing this is to mark down days off in your annual calendar and child care contract.

10. A chance to make a big difference

If you're committed to opening a home-based daycare, then try to do a great job. You have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the kids under your care and help your community. This is not something to be taken lightly.

Overall, there are plenty of issues to know about before starting your own daycare. I hope these ten concepts help you start your journey. - 31371

Gifts for Dad

By Adrianne Washington

Fathers can be very difficult to shop for. They often aren't open about what kind of gift they want. For that reason we end up getting our dads a tie that looks almost like the one we got a year ago with the handkerchief that looks just like the one we got a year ago. Nevertheless with some thought and planning we can find gifts that will put a GENUINE smile on his face and avoid the same run of the mill gifts he has too many of to even count.

First you have to know the person you're buying the gift for. This makes sense, because you wouldn't usually buy a gift for someone you don't know and of course if its your Dad, it seems only natural that you would know him. However, often its not that simple. Many of our fathers work long hours and have to go on company trips. Then on top of that, if your father is the strong silent type he may be hard to talk to even when he is at home. Dads may also be quiet about expressing what they want because they're the provider and are not used to being the one asking others to get things for them. If your father falls into one of these categories, try observing his surroundings instead of just asking what he wants. Is he working in out in his garage or shop all the time? Try buying that perfect tool to help him with his projects. Is he surrounded by his gadgets? Try finding a useful piece of electronics to simplify his life. Is he the investment banker type? Try finding a stylish money clip or nice dress shoes to go with his business suits. Whatever his interests are you can learn a lot about your dad or husband just by paying attention to his habits.

When you have an idea of what type of present to get, then you can start shopping. Start out with a general website that can link you to other websites with more specific categories. Once you've found a relevant website take your time to look through the different products and find the best option for your dad.

To maximize your time, try shopping at an online store that specializes in gifts for fathers. If you limit your search, you can keep yourself from having to wade through pages of products for women and children. Fathers day websites are a great place to find gifts for fathers for any occasion.

Fathers can be complicated when it comes to buying gifts. On the one hand they usually will be happy with whatever you get them but on the other hand it can be really hard to get that very enthusiastic response that you're hoping for when buying a gift. If you follow these tips you'll have a better chance of finding those gifts that will really wow your dad, whether fathers day gifts, birthday gifts or gifts this holiday season. - 31371
