Potty Chairs of the Fancy Kind

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey) — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 08:11:00 +0000

If you are looking for potty chairs to try to get your toddler to sit on one, how about a potty chair that is truly fancy and special? A potty chair that doesn't look anything like what it is supposed to be at one glance, at least to me:

While all these fancy potty chairs look stylish and I bet would appeal to most toddlers, the question is do you think it helps in their toilet-training? After all, you can get one simple potty for less than $10 but with this type of potty chairs, you probably be paying at least $50 for one.

I'm also wondering if you can get your toddler to relate this type of potty chair to pooping if it looks more like a toy chair in the first place. Maybe it's only me because in my mind a potty or a toilet needs to be of a certain shape. Otherwise, it's kind of hard to do whatever needs to be done, right?

Note: The above potty chairs are available from Amazon

Tracing A Call

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey) — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 09:05:00 +0000

Not too long ago, we simply have no way of knowing who called us when we happened to miss a call. Or we may have rushed to answer a ringing phone only to find out that it is a prank call.

However, nowadays with much better technology, calls can be traced to find out who is behind the calls made. Many phones now are able to display the phone number of the caller and using this information, you can then find out the owner of that number through a reverse phone lookup.

For instance, if you have been getting prank calls, you can use the phone number that is displayed to check the owner’s name and address. There are sites now that allow you to simply type in the phone number and search for information on its owner. Convenient and useful, such a service is certainly helpful when we are left wondering who is calling us.

Getting A Toddler To Sit On The Potty

Found this picture here while surfing the net. Kind of cute to find a toddler sitting on a potty with an "interesting" magazine in hand and a bottle beside him.

Well, if you are toilet-training your toddler currently and finding it to be a pain, maybe you can try the above method?? :D

My Squidoo Lenses On Toddler Stuff

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey) — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 08:26:00 +0000

If you are wondering what Squidoo is, let me tell you that it is my new addiction these days. I spend quite a lot of time there creating webpages or lenses as they are known in Squidoo. Basically, it is a site that allows you to create webpages for free on any topic that strikes your fancy.

The cool thing about Squidoo is it encourages you to sell things on your pages through online retailers such as Amazon. Items that get sold through a click from your page would then earn you some money on a sharing basis with Squidoo.

So, for all the time that I have spent on Squidoo, what have I achieved? Well, drop by Fire Truck Toddler Bed and Toddler Bedding Set to find out then! :)

New Radios

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 00:55:00 +0000

Have you heard of high definition radio? If you have not, then you are certainly not in keeping with the times. Nowadays, radio stations with FM broadcast are beginning to have CD-sound quality. And not only you will be able to listen to crystal clear music when you on your radio but it can also give you iTunes Tagging convenience.

This means if you like the song being played over the radio, you can simply tagged it and buy it online when you next turn on your computer. Of course, to be able to do so, you will need a HD radio with that capability such as the Jensen JiMS 525i model. In fact, there are now many HD radios available in the market and they are fast gaining popularity.

Such a radio is a great investment now because more and more stations are broadcasting digitally. If you are unsure whether you should spend your money on such a radio, simply check out new music stations with HD broadcast or those that are coming on stream to see if it will be a worth a buy.

Getting my Toddler to Pick Up his Toys

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey) — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 01:00:00 +0000

Does your toddler have this habit of leaving his toys everywhere in the house? Right now, my son likes to take all his toys out from the toy box which leaves a total mess on the floor. As a result, the poor me end up putting everything back when night time comes.

I don't think a toddler would be cooperative when it comes to putting back his toys, especially when they can fill one whole big box. Nevertheless, I try to get him to do so as he needs to learn to put back his own stuff.

So, what I tend to do is to get him to put back a small pile and I pick up the rest. Or I ask him to help me by getting those toys not within my reach as I sit next to the box. I have to admit that there are times when these methods do not work. I guess even toddlers can be lazy sometimes.

My hope is as he grows, he will create less mess and know how to pick up after his own things. I just can't stand living in a messy home but this is what I have to put up with right now with a little kid around. Grrrr!!

A New Form of Treatment

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey) — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 01:50:00 +0000

If you are one of those who keeps track of market and business news through CNNmoney.com, you would probably have come across this interesting article that informed us of treatments of serious diseases may be found in women’s menstrual blood.

It is aimed at the busy woman who has much to juggle between work and family who may have little time to take care of her health. But now with innovative stem cell research, such women can buy a little insurance by preserving her menstrual fluid. Research has shown that a woman’s menstrual blood has self-renewing stem cell properties which can be stored and later used to treat serious ailments that may strike such as osteoporosis, stroke and Parkinson’s disease.

The company that is offering this service to harvest and preserve this menstrual blood is C’elle. On their website, you can listen to C'elle Client Testimonial to check out what others have to say on this. Furthermore, as research into this area advances, more and more uses could be found for stem cells which would make your investment to preserve your menstrual fluid even more worthwhile.

A Contest

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey) — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 02:10:00 +0000

Recently, I have been pretty busy starting up a new website, Baby Crib To Toddler Bed. I started it out of interest as I find myself getting increasingly addicted to online ventures.

The website has articles on choosing a baby crib as well as toddler bed. It also contains information on the transition from crib to bed for a toddler. Well, since I do have a toddler, it was more or less of sharing what I had experienced for the last 3 years.

This new site may or may not earn me money but I will give it a try. So, in the mean time, I'm running a contest in my other blog to get some links going for this new site of mine. If you want to win a 100% combed cotton fitted sheet and pillow case set, then hop on over there to find out how to enter.

Therefore, preservation of our stem cells harvested through our menstrual blood is one way to invest in our healthcare.

Starting Kindy

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey) — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 01:35:00 +0000

When your kid began kindy, how many days did you have to spend accompanying him or her there? I know of kids who have no problems at all adapting to the new environment and look forward to kindy without hesitation. But I have also come across kids who simply refuse to let their parents out of their sight during the intial stages of starting kindy.

I'm now dreading the worst-case scenario comes August when my son starts kindy. Hopefully, he won't find it a problem and can adapt quickly and I don't have to be there with him for days. Furthermore, I don't think this particular kindy that we are sending him to encourages parents to stay with their kids beyond the first week.

Come to think of it, I started kindy when I was 6 but nowadays, kids start kindy much sooner. My son is only 3 but already has to make his way to kindy as all kids do in this part of the world that we are living in.

One other thing. I just hope he will be able to wake up early each morning comes August to get to kindy on time!

Stem Cell Preservation

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey) — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 02:50:00 +0000

With medical advancement, many things that were not possible in the past are now possible due to painstaking research and innovation. For instance, there are now Cryo-Cell Innovative Stem Cell Solutions that can preserve a newborn’s umbilical cord blood for potential use against many deseases. The umbilical cord and placenta used to be discarded following delivery but now it has been discovered that umbilical cord blood is actually rich in stem cells which can be used in bone marrow transplants and to treat other diseases.

Apart from umbilical cord, a woman’s menstrual fluid also contains self-renewing stem cells. These too can be collected and be used to treat medical conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, stroke and many others. As research into this area grows, there can only be more and more benefit in preserving the stem cells found in umbilical cord blood and menstrual fluid.

So, if you are currently pregnant and your baby is due soon, have a look at Cryo-Cell's "Protect Baby, Protect Mom" package. There is now a "Protect Baby, Protect Mom" Special Limited-Time Introductory Offer which offer enhanced family safety and healthcare protection at great value. So, consider these options quick!

OK, I though rides like this in theme parks are supposed to be a fun family outing and entertainment? Hmmm... looks like it can be one risky ride indeed for the women when excitement builds!

Self-Renewing Stem Cells

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey) — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 01:41:00 +0000

Do you know that your menstrual fluids contain stem cells that can be used for treatments of serious diseases? Research has shown that women’s menstrual blood contains self-renewing stem cells that can be used to treat medical conditions such as diabetes, stroke, osteoporosis, neurological disorders and others. Not only these stem cells can potentially be used to treat the woman herself for medical conditions later in her life but also can possibly be utilized to treat family members genetically related to her such as parents, siblings and child.

To collect these menstrual stem cells in a non-invasive manner and in the comfort of a person’s own home, there is now a new service available in the market, called C’elle, that enables women to do just that. You can read All About C'elle and discover for yourself all the benefits of this potentially life-saving stem cells from your monthly menstruation.

To help spread the word on this great medical technology and service, this company also offers people to Become C'elle Distributor. If you do successfully sign up to Become C'elle Distributor, the company currently offers you $75 for each person that enrolls in Celle through you. By educating others on this technology and medical advancement, you also get to earn some extra money in the process. Isn’t that great?

Isn't marriage suppose to be a joyous occasion? Oh well, with the high divorce rates these days, nobody think of marriage as a happily ever after thing anymore, I guess. For some, life does go downhill after the wedding, right?

Children's Toys for Fun and Learning

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey) — Sat, 17 May 2008 03:19:00 +0000

With the better standard of living these days, children are often swamped with toys as parents and adults buy them as gifts. But sometimes, toys can also be a good source of learning, especially those educational toys that can help to stimulate a child’s mind and motor skills. Such toys include stacking rings and wooden puzzles for toddlers and pre-schoolers.

For instance, the Melissa and Doug Numbers Sound Puzzle Board will help the child to recognize the different numbers. Lifting a particular piece up, the child would be able to hear the number being said out loud. This type of toy not only provides fun, but also learning, as it can certainly help in speech and vocabulary development.

On the other hand, there are also toys that can stimulate a child’s imagination such as those Playmobil toy sets. These type of toys let the child to create his or her adventure with the different figures and special themes. Any kid would be delighted to receive such play sets which should offer hours of fun.

When choosing toys for kids, it would always be good if they can provide learning and stimulate creativity apart from their fun value. Toys should also be safe and age-appropriate for the child concerned and that is why care and thought should be exercised when buying toys for our kids.

Uses of Colloidal Silver

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey) — Sat, 17 May 2008 01:10:00 +0000

Parents, especially those with young kids, often face a stressful and hectic life with daily chores and work commitments. Sometimes, they even have to go without sufficient sleep to tend to a crying child in the middle of the night or waking up every few hours to feed a little baby.

A a result, this kind of life takes a toll on their health and this is where dietary supplements become important. One of these types of supplements is metal colloid products which can provide the body with the necessary minerals to maintain optimum health.

Among the many colloid products is colloidal silver. Silver is in fact has long been identified as the natural antibiotic. It is a powerful desease fighter because bacterias dies in the presence of rich silver particles. Uses of colloidal silver include as eye or nose drops and application on wounds and burns. Some people even gargled it with water which supposedly kills germs and bacterias in the mouth.

Colloidal silver can also be taken orally, acting as a natural antibiotic and preventative against infections. It, therefore, supports the defence mechanism of the body. This would then quickens healing of burns and prevents infections.

The Mess

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey) — Sat, 17 May 2008 00:55:00 +0000

I have accepted the fact that having a toddler at home means the place can never be neat and tidy. When we didn't have a kid around, I always made sure that the home is free of clutter and everything would always be in their proper place.

However, for the last year or so, the home is constantly in a mess. Toys are always strewn everywhere. Each time that I made an effort to have them put back in the boxes, out come the toys again a few minutes later. Sometimes, even my stuff can end up as toys such as handbags and such.

So, I have now decided that I would just let the mess be. If toys are all over the floor from morning till night, so be it. It is just kind of silly to keep picking them up only to have them all over the place again a while later. The only time that I will pick everything up and get my son to cooperate to do the same is at night, just before our bedtime.

Through this way, he learns that is part of his routine and how to put back his own stuff when the day is over. Hopefully, when this phase of having toys everywhere is over, my home can go back to being neat and tidy again once more.

Twin Strollers

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey) — Wed, 14 May 2008 01:05:00 +0000

I always feel people who have twins are really lucky as to be blessed with two kids at the same time is double the joy. But then again, even with one kid, I'm already struggling. So, I do admire those parents who are able to take care of two kids of the same age, especially during those times when they have to manage them all on their own on an outing.

I guess this is where twin strollers come in handy. I have come across parents pushing such twin strollers at the parks and it is so adorable seeing two babies seated side-by-side. The only problem, though, is such strollers can be a little too wide and it would be difficult indeed pushing them through those narrow aisles or pathways.

The other type of twin strollers that I have seen are those that have one in front of the other. They are definitely narrower and would be more ideal for those trips to the mall and grocery shopping.

I think if you have a set of twins, you can't really live without strollers. Luckily, nowadays there are so many twin strollers available with all the different designs and features for parents' convenience. Otherwise, outings would be a great hassle indeed for parents with twins or two young kids.

Stuck in a Toy Store

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey) — Wed, 14 May 2008 00:53:00 +0000

Do you have this problem with your kid that each time when you ended up in a toy store, he or she refused to leave? Nowadays, I do have to scratch my head thinking of ways to get my pre-schooler out of a toy store without having to drag him out of there screaming and kicking.

I have seen many kids creating a scene at such stores because of their refusal to leave without a toy in hand and so far, I have managed to avoid that problem. But I do have to linger around longer than necessary because of my son's refusal to go and I do not want to start the habit of bribing him with a toy in order to get him to leave.

So, I try to give him a few warnings that it is time to leave before we actually need to go and I actually tell him what are our next activity once we are out of the store. At times, those methods work but there are also times that they don't. Anyway, during those times that he is stubborn enough not to leave, I would just let him play for a while longer and then try again to persuade him to go. Patience is certainly required to get a kid out of a toy store, I guess.

So, if anyone has any effective method for the same problem, let me know.

Affordable Wedding Dresses

noreply@blogger.com (Audrey) — Thu, 08 May 2008 01:36:00 +0000

When it comes to our wedding, we would surely want a day filled with perfection from the wedding dress to the little details such as the color of the table cloth for the reception. Since wedding is a once in a life time occasion, it is only natural that we want the best for the day to bring us lasting and sweet memories for years to come.

But wedding can also be an expensive affair. The cost of the ceremony, attires and reception could cost us a big chunk of money. For the bride, most would try out various Wedding Dresses and work within their budget.

However, nowadays, you can have competitively priced Bridal Dresses if you just know where to look. There are many online boutiques now that offer Wedding Dresses at lower prices than traditional retail shops. You can still have a lovely wedding gown and look beautiful from head to toe from the veil to the shoes on your feet by shopping through these online boutiques.

Most of these online stores would also have the accessories to accompany your dress for the big day such as tiaras, veils, jewelries and shoes. Not to forget dresses for your bridesmaid and flower girl to make the occasion a memorable one. With the lower prices that you pay from these online stores, you would then have more money to spend on other aspects of your wedding, making it the perfect day for you and your partner.
