<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20.8266677856445px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Just because winter equals bundling up and many layers, doesn’t mean it’s time to sacrifice style. <b><a href="http://www.landsend.com/">Lands’ End</a></b>—the classically American lifestyle brand offering authentic and nautical style—believes that both warmth and style go hand-in-hand when it comes to layering pieces and selecting outerwear. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20.8266677856445px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Whether it’s a dressed-up coat for holiday parties, a down jacket for the kids or a warm parka for day-to-day, Lands’ End offers the perfect selection to keep the whole family warm and chic when the temperature dips below zero.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I've got some amazing waffle recipes for you! I've discovered a fabulous vintage cook book that has the best waffles I've made and I hope you'll enjoy them too. <br />
<br />
I've recently had the pleasure to review two types of waffles makers from <b><a href="http://www.breville.ca/">Breville Canada</a></b>.<br />
The first one I adore for big groups or when we have friends when family visits over for brunch. It's the <a href="http://www.breville.ca/the-smart-waffle.html">Smart Waffle 4 piece</a>. Easy to clean up, 5 settings to choose from which are: Classic. Belgium, Chocolate, Buttermilk and Custom.</div>

I love this little waffle maker. It doesn't take up too much room and it's perfect for little hands to grab thanks to the size of the triangular waffles. I use this the most and the settings are great for that perfect waffle. It's called <b><a href="http://www.breville.ca/the-no-mess-waffle.html">The No Mess Waffle </a></b>maker and I sure hope Santa will have one under the tree for you! Priced at $169.99.<br />
If you're looking for a wonderful Christmas morning waffle to make let me tell you about the Gingerbread Waffle pictured above. Your home will smell heavenly! Poached sweetened apples or apple sauce makes a nice accompaniment.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
1/4 tsp ground cloves</div>

1/4 tsp of salt</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Cream together the butter and brown sugar. Beat in the molasses and egg yolks and milk. Sift flour again with baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Stir in dry ingredients into creamed mixture then fold the beaten egg whites. Pour batter into the waffle maker and set to your preference.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><i>Lemon Custard Sauce:</i></span><br />
Using an electric mixer beat 3 eggs with 1 cup of sugar until thick and pale yellow. Beat in 1/4 cup of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of grated lemon peel, dash of salt and 2 tablespoons of butter.<br />
Pour into top of double boiler and cook, stirring over simmering water about 15 minutes until mixture is slightly thickened and coats a spoon. Serve warm or cooled.<br />

<i><b>Never buy frozen again with this recipe!</b></i></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">December marks the official beginning of the holiday season, but it also signifies a time of high spending with gift-giving, family get-togethers and parties. This can come at a price, and most Canadians work hard to manage their finances among the holiday cheer. </span><a href="http://www.ratesupermarket.ca/">RateSupermarket.ca </a><span style="font-weight: normal;">is here to help with free, up to date information on the latest Canadian personal finance offers, guides, tips and articles to ensure you get more from your holiday purchases. </span></span></h2>
<h2 class="rmSubject" style="color: #444444; line-height: 29.9904003143311px; margin: 0px 0px 13px; padding-top: 2px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">This holiday season, <a href="http://www.ratesupermarket.ca/">RateSupermarket.ca</a> also wants to help moms teach their little ones about spending, saving and personal finance at a time where spending is at an all-time high and kids see mom opening her pocketbook more often. Here are a few tips and tricks to educate your little ones on financial literacy.</span></span></h2>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Five tips for teaching your kids about money:</b></span><br />
<b style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #45818e;">1.</span></b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Start early. It’s never too early to talk to your children about financial responsibility. Start as soon as </span>they're<span style="font-family: inherit;"> able to count and make money the topic of regular family discussions. Enjoy a fun family night with Monopoly or The Game of Life to teach the importance of making smart money decisions. Monopoly can help children learn the importance of budgeting and setting aside an emergency fund. The Game of Life demonstrates how focusing on education can increase earning potential. A cash register and toy store can teach them that buying goods/presents comes at a cost. These lessons are especially important during the holiday season where they are due to receive cash gifts or gift cards – you can educate them on the importance of spending wisely.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="color: #45818e;">2.</span></b> Want VS. need. We’ve all heard kids proclaim they NEED a toy or new gaming console. Don’t give them everything they ask for and don’t feel guilty about it. It’s important that children understand the difference between needs and wants, and that they may have to wait to buy something they desire. This will help encourage them to make sensible spending decisions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="color: #45818e;">3.</span></b> Teach your child to save regularly and plan purchases. Set up a process for saving money, whether in a piggy bank for young children or a bank account if they’re older. Regularly monitor to see how much they’ve saved and introduce goals for saving and planning larger purchases. You can find out which bank account on the market is best for your child's needs <b><a href="http://www.ratesupermarket.ca/bank_accounts/childrens/">here</a></b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="color: #45818e;">4. </span></b>Money means choice. Money is a finite resource, and therefore it is crucial for children to learn how to make wise choices about spending. If your kids are young, during story time read them a book that teaches the basics of budgeting and saving. Remember to chat through lessons-learned at the end.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you have a young adult, test out the <b><a href="https://www.ratesupermarket.ca/credit_cards/rewards_calculator/">Rewards Calculator </a></b>on <b><a href="http://www.ratesupermarket.ca/">RateSupermarket.ca</a></b>. It's a quick, four-step tool that identifies which available credit card provides the best rewards for your needs (cash back, travel, gas or specialty rewards) based on your current, everyday spending habits.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="color: #45818e;">5.</span></b> Lead by example. As a parent, you have a great deal of influence on your little ones, especially when it comes to financial habits. Children have a tendency to copy their parents’ behaviour, so be open about your spending habits and savings goals, and try to limit the amount of shopping trips you take as a leisure activity. They might start to think money is unlimited and spending is fun. </span><br />

I love how his eyes light up, he's plush, plays soothing sounds and the different colours he gives off. This is a great item that retails for $49.99.

<div style="text-align: left;">
I started my Christmas shopping a couple of weeks ago and whilst browsing etsy I came aross this darling store- <b><a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/Zooble">Zooble</a></b>.<br /><br /><b>What I got:</b><br />We love natural play and I purchased this sweet <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/199997734/fairy-castel-fairy-princess-woodland?ref=shop_home_feat_1">Fairy Castle play set</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/177391692/rainbow-mushrooms-set-of-6-wooden?ref=shop_home_active_9">mushrooms</a> are sold seperately but I had to get those as well as they are so sweet. My son even enjoys this with his sisters when he puts the Innotab Max down! Sigh....<br />This folds up nicely and when we go out and dine the twins can play. The Gnomes Math game is fun learning if you like more natural ways to learn(think Montessori, waldorf) and quiet play.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All toys are hand made in Vermont and if you order before Dec.15/14 you will still get it in time for Christmas. They ship worldwide. This is a shop I will shop on regularly.

This a cool robotic remote control toy! Only it's controlled by your smart phone or tablet. It's built for your Android or Apple.

<br />
What's really cool is the software for this little fast robot. The Spin trick is what gets the kids all riled up. Here's a video for a more visual.</div>

“The Bugaboo Bee3 features innovative functionalities like the 3D
compact fold making it easy to collapse, carry and store this urban
stroller. Its unique seat can extend, reverse and recline, and with the
new lightweight pram body is even more comfortable to go around town
with your baby or toddler,” says Max Barenbrug, founder and Chief Design
Officer of Bugaboo International."<br /><br />I was all over this little Bee3 at the Bugaboo event in October. It moves like the wind-so smooth and light. I love the new fabric. Not only is the new fabric attractive, it’s durable and specially
designed to be water-repellent while still washable. The sun canopy
fabric also provides effective UPF50+ sun protection from the sun.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The lightweight and easy to use pram body complements the urban style of
the Bugaboo Bee3. It lifts off the stroller in just two simple clicks
so you can keep your newborn within easy reach. The pram body comes in a
variety of colors and is also available for current Bugaboo Bee owners
as it can be purchased as a separate accessory.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Like all Bugaboo strollers, the Bugaboo Bee3 offers a smooth ride, smart
design and extraordinary value. The extendable sun canopy and rain
cover provide additional protection from the elements while improvements
on wheels, chassis and a new harness make for a more comfortable ride.
What’s more, the underseat basket now holds more weight, 5.8 gallons to
fully enjoy everything your city has to offer. Getting around has never
been so easy thanks to <b>THE urban stroller</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />The Bugaboo Bee3 is in
stores worldwide from September 1, 2014. For a retailer near you, please
visit <a href="http://bugaboo.com/retail-locator">bugaboo.com/retail-locator</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<strong>For parents who live life on the fly, Bugaboo makes everything
easier with the new Bugaboo Bee3. The 3rd generation urban stroller for
newborns and toddlers now features new fabrics and colors, an
easy-to-carry pram body and an extendable sun canopy, offering your
child even more comfort. Thanks to the larger underseat basket for all
your essentials, it’s never been easier to get out there - the city is
yours!<br /><br />My last post of the Bugaboo series will be the new Storksak diaper bag. Chic and functional. Stay tuned!<br /><br /><span style="color: #45818e;">Are you looking for a light weight stroller? Do you know someone who is? Share this post with them. </span></strong></div>

My son turned 6 in October and we've always had a nice small gathering at our place with family and friends for birthdays but this year my son wanted something different and I totally get it. Now that he is older and our place is small I was wondering where to have his birthday party.<br />
A friend of ours-his son loves <b><a href="http://www.skyzone.com/ca/toronto">Sky Zone</a></b> and I never heard of it 'til then. It's an indoor trampoline park. My kid loves to jump. In fact he seems to be bouncing off the walls at home so why not spend that energy at SkyZone Toronto? Skyzone is good healthy fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Dear son is in gr.1 and he wanted some of his friends from school to come so we had a nice little turnout and booked a zone for his party.<br />
The staff were phenomenal. We were running a few minutes behind and they took the kids right over to our reserved trampoline area and got things rolling. We had great supervision and an hour of fun play! Next we went to our Party Room. Pizza came from Domino's, I ordered a Fruit Platter, Kettle chips for munchies(mostly the adults ate them!) and water or juice. Saleha had a friendly, bubbly personality. She took over and served everyone. It was nice as a parent to sit back and see everything taken care of. I highly recommend booking a party with SkyZone.

<div style="text-align: left;">
I love sugar. I do have a sweet tooth and with the Christmas Season in full swing I'll admit. I like to indulge in all things sweet as this is the only time of year where I let myself enjoy it. It takes me back to my youth. Sneaking the extra chocolate from my Advent calendar, Cinnamon cookies, Butter cookies from Denmark, my mom would bake a Yule log....Sigh....I miss the days when I could eat whatever I wanted and not have to worry about my waistline.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<b>How do we limit too sugar for our kids?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But with my kids I am more careful with what goes in their mouths than mine. I prefer to sweeten with honey or maple syrup when baking or blending dates-the extra fibre in dates are great too. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We also stay clear of low fat. I hate low fat and it's loaded with sugar. It's disgusting. I refuse to buy anything low fat. I am super picky to what treats they get. My twins don't eat any sweets but my son gets spoiled from people in our building. People are always offering him sweets. Maybe it's a European thing? But not only is sugar an issue but high fructose corn syrup and artificial colouring.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Blood sugar is important to us because my brother has Type 1 diabetes so I need to be careful with how much sugar my kids get. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Thankfully Orange Naturals has many supplements that balance blood sugar. <a href="http://orangenaturals.com/essential/chromium_500mcg_90tab/">Chromium</a> is my bestfriend, lol</div>

For six seasons now, the health</span><span lang="en-US" style="line-height: 18.9333324432373px;"> </span><span lang="en-US" style="line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"> conscious duo of Andrea Donsky, Registered Holistic Nutritionist, and Healthy Shopper co-founder Randy Boyer, </span>have helped Canadians weave natural and organic into their lives. For fall, the focus isn’t on fat and calories, rather healthy ingredients, and they show us how to make simple switches from conventional products to organic and natural ones.</span></span></div>

Adding chia to its yogurt is in keeping with food trends that advocate including chia in all sorts of food,” she adds. The addition of chia seeds makes Olympic yogurt even healthier and completely <b>surpasses other yogurts</b> that contain artificial colours, flavours and preservatives. </span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Olympic yogurt also contains pre- and probiotics for an extra immunity boost. Flavours include strawberry, vanilla, plain and pandan. Now that's a yogurt I'll gladly feed to my family.</span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I never appreciated monogramming until I had the opportunity to receive this little gift from <b><a href="http://www.landsend.com/">Lands' End</a></b>. Now I want to get more monogramming done. I love the elegance and old school style of adding that touch of elegance for an extra $7.<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The <b><a href="http://www.landsend.com/products/womens-cashtouch-plaid-scarf/id_245032?sku_0=::U2V">CashTouch Plaid Scarf</a></b>($33.95) makes for a perfect gift for anyone on your list but I think this would make a brilliant <b>teachers gift</b>. </div>

The CashTouch scarf is a perfect. My son loves touching it because it's so soft. The cashmere-like microsueded fabric is not only warm, but soft and lightweight just in time as the temperature begins to dip.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 15px;">Lands’ End also offers personal monogramming on a variety of apparel and home décor items. From storage and organization to blankets and throws, Lands’ End aims to be a one-stop holiday shopping destination and it truly is a great site to shop on. I am a big Lands' End fan for the quality of their products. </span></span></div>

<b><i><span style="color: #45818e;">What I loved and recommend!</span></i></b></div>
But what I loved most of all was my beautiful <a href="http://impressionsdesign.ca/product-category/wood-prints/">Personalized Wood Print</a>. Using Canadian birch I love the smoothness and originality of this style of print. I was tired of the usual canvas style so I wanted something truly unique to go with the theme of their room which was natural, clean, simple yet magical in design. An excellent gift for a new or growing family. I am so happy I have something like this. Moms don't usually think of this so take note friends and family.<br />

<a href="http://www.boiron.ca/coupons/"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pxKLKVsmMBI/VG4yFCC6MtI/AAAAAAAAPNg/JanldSh9d9c/s1600/boiron.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's the time of year again! With flu vaccines being stuffed down our throats to get one-heck you can even get one when at Target?! But any hoo....I prefer to go the Boiron route and it hasn't let me or my family down yet!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eSUuvPxj7lw/VG4zIyhkMhI/AAAAAAAAPNo/jp2jinDxGRI/s1600/IMG_1077.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eSUuvPxj7lw/VG4zIyhkMhI/AAAAAAAAPNo/jp2jinDxGRI/s1600/IMG_1077.JPG" height="200" width="200" /></a>I recently attended <a href="https://twitter.com/search?f=realtime&q=%23momsbrunchclub&src=typd">MomsBrunchClub</a> with Boiron at <a href="http://www.torontobirthcentre.ca/">The Toronto Birth Centre</a>. I am in love with that centre and hope when I am done my Doula course and when the twins are older I can attend many births there. It was a beautiful brunch to learn all things on how to stay healthy during flu season.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e;">What did I take away from that morning? I'll break it down.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #45818e;">1) Stress</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As a busy mom of three and a tired mom of three I think the most important thing I learned about or should I say the most important thing I was reminded of was to take care of myself! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've put my needs to the back...way back. I push back and back and in the end I am tired, miserable and stressed. Stressed. Stressed. Stressed. What happens to the immune system when you're stressed Moms? You get sick! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As I sat on the street car to go back to my beautiful family I realised something had to change because I was getting run down. Sure I can make bone broth for the kids to beat the flu. I'll try to remember to sip some for myself. No more. I am going to eat when they do. When my husband is off I am going to book an hour or two to myself. Even if it means running down to the gym in my building to exercise. Oh wait! We have a sauna. Why don't I ever use it? <br />
Another way I am starting take care of myself is getting back into my vitamins and supplements and going out once a month with my girlfriends or better yet-date night with my hard working husband.<br />
Take care of yourself Mom. You need to take care of yourself.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e;">2) Drybrushing</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I haven't done this in a.g.e.s. Ever since I stopped working in aromatherapy and esthetics. I used to dry brush all the time! You need a nice <a href="https://well.ca/searchresult.html?keyword=loofah">loofah</a>. Go ahead and spurge. The benefits of dry brushing is to stimulate the lymphatic system you know-that part of the circulatory system. It's our filtering system. It detoxes the body and exfoliates your skin. It gets things moving and making our immune system function better. <br />
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;">Method:</span></i> When you do dry brush move upwards toward the heart. Always brush lightly and towards the heart. This is a great routine to get into before you hop in the shower.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #45818e;">3) Homeopathy</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.boiron.ca/products/ccf/oscillococcinum/">Osccillococcinum</a> is my best defence for flu prevention. We all take this. It's little tiny bead like medicines that you take and the kids have no problem with this. Even my toddlers. You can dissolve it in water and drink it as well. For the tots-add to the sippy cups if you to.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

If your little one has been asking for a watch look no further! <a href="http://www.vtechkids.com/brands/brand_view/smartwatch">Vtech Kidizoom Smart Watch.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is a great watch for kids. My son has been loving it and has been showing it off to his friends at school. He likes that he can tell us the time(there are over 50 digital and analog designs to choose from), take photo's, record and play!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It includes a <i><span style="color: #45818e;">timer</span></i>-something I use for when we're playing after school. The alarm goes off and he knows play time is over and time to go home. All without the usual struggle and tantrums. Win!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's <i><span style="color: #45818e;">splashproof</span></i>! That I like too for when it comes to washing hands.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As well it comes with great apps for play and learning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UCrhoMD2Tfk/VGtoB4ohLnI/AAAAAAAAPNM/rdap4dd0Mb8/s1600/kidizoomwatchandapps.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UCrhoMD2Tfk/VGtoB4ohLnI/AAAAAAAAPNM/rdap4dd0Mb8/s1600/kidizoomwatchandapps.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's simple to start up. Just connect to your computer and give it a charge. It takes about 2 hours and you're good to go. I found the battery to last a pretty good long time without having to charge. The autoshut off is great so battery wear is not wasted.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">We all know that goofing off is good for you – as adults, we rely on moments of lightness to de-stress and create balance in our lives. For babies, play is an important part of development: babies push, press pull and pry, squeeze, squish and sniff all in an effort to understand the complex world around them. Disney Baby has some great ideas to put your little learner on the road to discovery and to help you harness the power of play.</span></div>
</div>
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #45818e;">Find the fun</span></b><br />
Often, when parents think play they turn to toys, but objects aren’t the only way to stimulate your little one. Learn to find the fun in everyday interactions. Whether it’s splashing around in a <b><a href="http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B004FTQ9CK/ref=s9_simh_gw_p75_d36_i1?pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1E1FVTEFJ9B1QF8W36WR&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1687860482&pf_rd_i=915398">tiny tub</a></b>, playing peek-a-boo over the <b><a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Disney-Minnie-Mouse-Plush-Changing-Pad-Cover/34581584">changing pad</a></b> or giving baby a bowl to bang on while you’re cooking, there are plenty of easy ways to encourage creativity and engage your baby in a little monkey business.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #45818e;">Sing songs</span></b><br />
Playing with your voice is a great way to help babies find theirs, so let go of your inhibitions and embrace your inner diva. Try making silly sounds, experimenting with volume and pitch or incorporating dance and movement to encourage different reactions in your wee one. If you’re too shy to sing, introduce your baby to different sound making objects, like these <b>organic</b> <a href="http://www.babyjoy.ca/product-p/my130043.htm"><b>Minnie</b></a> and <a href="http://www.babyjoy.ca/product-p/my130039.htm"><b>Tigger</b></a> plush toys, instead.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #45818e;">Free your fabrics</span></b><br />
A grown up closet is a veritable treasure trove for little eyes and fingers. Pull out some of your brightest, silkiest and softest numbers and let baby explore new textures and colours. Who knows, maybe your little one will have as much fun in your closet as you do!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #45818e;">Embrace your inner toy</span></b><br />
To your baby, you are the ultimate plaything. Lay down a <b><a href="http://www.bumkins.com/disney-splat-mat.html">splat mat</a></b>, and get down to your little one’s level to let them engage with you. Or talk to your tot to improve language skills, and mimic actions and copy sounds to introduce baby to the art of conversation. Not only is it good for baby’s development, but getting in on the game ensures that you’ll have fun at playtime too!<br />
<br />
No matter which tactic you try, make sure you know when to take a breather. Remember that your baby’s attention span will vary depending on age, mood and temperament, and that babies have different thresholds for stimulation.<br />
Listen to your little ones: if they seem tired or fussy, give them a rest – it will make playing more enjoyable for both of you.<br />

The best medicine and movies to make you giggle.<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #606060; line-height: 22.5px;">At Netflix, they think laughter is the best medicine. I have to agree. Laughter boosts the immune system! So here is some comic relief when you need it the most – as cold and flu season hits. There’s nothing more comforting for a kid when they’re not feeling well, than curling up on the couch with a movie or show like </span><a href="http://www.netflix.com/WiMovie/70178623" style="background-color: white; color: #b70004; line-height: 22.5px; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank">Mr. Popper's Penguins</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #606060; line-height: 22.5px;"> to take their mind off the sniffles. So, check out this list of laughter-inspired titles for both little and big kids and let us know which titles did the trick. </span></span></div>

If you are looking for a great gift to give for around $25 the <b><a href="http://cloudb.com/Canada/sight/dreamz-to-go-octo-pinkle">Dreamz To Go Octo</a></b> is a great little gift to give. It travels well so if your child is going to a sleep over at the grandparents house he/she can bring her little Dreamz to Go.

Making a baby can be a lot fun but when you try and try. It's natural to feel frustrated when we don't see the <span style="color: #3d85c6;">+</span> sign on the pregnancy test. <br />From my own personal experience we were trying off and on for a year and finally at the end of Summer '12, I was blessed with a pregnancy of twins. FINALLY! But every failed pregnancy test would have me filled with anger, guilt followed with great sadness. <b>Why?</b> I had no problem getting pregnant the first time around. Why now? Did I do something wrong? Is it karma for something? Does the Universe thinks I don't deserve more kids? Was it was time to call in the big guns and say a fertility spell(note the spell above). To the few that I shared my sadness with I was told "Don't worry", "don't try so hard"(um...okay) but really I just wanted to let my feelings out without the "advice".<br /><br />
<br />"<i>Infertility affects 10% of the reproductive age population, yet as a society, we are uninformed on</i><br />
<i>how to best provide support for couples (and singles) during this time. The pain of infertility is</i><br />
<i>unique, it is similar to the grief of losing a loved one, but the pain of infertility is recurring.</i>"~<a href="http://bebomia.com/">bebomia</a><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />In my doula training class with <a href="http://bebomia.com/fertility-doulas/">bebo mia</a> we are learning all about Fertility and this struck a chord with me and I wanted to share <b>what not to say to </b>someone struggling with fertility. I found that although the below is for a doula in training on how to behave with a client- I think everyone can learn from this. You may have a friend and family member struggling and you don't know what to say. I hope this helps.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<b>1.</b> Do not tell them to <b>“just relax”</b>. Maybe you do know a story about a couple who went on vacation and returned pregnant, or a couple who finally conceived after they stopped trying, but keep this information to yourself. All they will hear is you blaming them for not being able to create the<br />
family they desire. Does stress play a role in fertility? of course, but quite often it is the infertility<br />
itself that is causing stress. When there is a medical reason for infertility you can relax as much<br />
as you like but conception is still unlikely to happen.<br />
<div>
<br /><b>2.</b> Do not minimize the problem. This is a very painful time for your friend and family, many spend their days watching other families grow while they go home to an empty home each night. Comments like <b>“just enjoy being able to sleep late”</b> just feel like a punch in the gut. They would give anything to wake up early to cuddle their children, and <b>please for the love of god, do not offer up your own</b></div>
<div>
<b>children, uterus or sperm.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>3. </b>Do not say there are worse things that can happen. There is no final authority on what the worst thing that can happen to a person is, but to your clients this is the worst thing for them right now. Although they may know that they have things they are thankful for in their lives, but right now infertility is taking precedence.</div>
<div>
<br /><b>4.</b> Do not say this is meant to be. Women and men dealing with infertility are always asking</div>
<div>
themselves <b>WHY ME?</b> They see and hear about teenage pregnancies, abused children and</div>
<div>
abortions while they fight through the trenches. If they once were people of faith, this is probably</div>
<div>
being challenged and any comments like “this is what god did not want you to be parents” only</div>
<div>
challenges this further. They can be made to feel like god thinks they would be bad parents, or</div>
<div>
they are being punished for things they have done in the past. Always keep in mind that i<b>nfertility</b></div>
<div>
<b>is a medical condition</b>, certainly not a punishment from god.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>5.</b> Do not say “why don’t you just....”. No matter what one chooses it is likely that they thought long and hard about why it is the best path for them. Once diagnosed with fertility issues any decision they make is a tough one, there really is no “just adopt” or “just do IVF”, every path has its own set of pro’s and con’s and it is not up to us to decide what path is easier (because none of them are).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>6.</b> Do not complain about your pregnancy or parenting. Many women faced with infertility would</div>
<div>
gladly throw up for 9 months straight to have a baby, after all some of them have been taking hormone injections for month and/or years and have nothing to show for it. Maybe they have</div>
<div>
unrealistic ideas about raising babies and the lack of sleep that come along with it, but right now</div>
<div>
they would cut off their right arm to have that, please be sensitive.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: #45818e;">I'd love to hear from you! If you're open to sharing-did you struggle with getting pregnant? </span></b></div>

A drop of sunshine! That's all you need for optimum Vitamin D health and Ddrops is the best when it comes to it my opinion and I know there are other brands out there. I've tried them all! They are always what I buy.<br />
<br />
Why we need the Sunshine Vitamin?<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #403838; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Very few foods naturally contain vitamin D, and only a few foods are fortified with vitamin D. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #403838; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Vitamin D deficiency not only causes metabolic bone disease among children (like Rickets) and adults but also may increase the risk of many common chronic diseases. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #403838; line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Vitamin D is also good for the immune system. With the Flu making it's rounds and pressure to vaccinate Vitamin D boosts the immune system naturally which is why I think it's rare to get the flu in the Summer? The amount of sunshine we get is good medicine which is one of the reasons I rarely use sunscreen on myself and kids. With the darker months here no it is important to take Vitamin D so let me tell you more about Ddrops.</span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Booster:</b> </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Several medical associations recommend that adults take a daily dose of at least 1000 IU of vitamin D daily. As consumers are becoming more and more aware about the importance of vitamin D, they may be noticing that their daily multivitamins usually only contain 400 IU of vitamin D.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">The Booster is the perfect </span></span><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">equivalent</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"> at 600IU so you can take this safely </span></span><b style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"><i>with</i></b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"> your multivitamin.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"><b>Adults: </b>For adults over 50 the sunshine vitamin is needed for them too!</span></div>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Research is proving that vitamin D has many benefits on multiple organs within the body as it helps the body use calcium and phosphorus for building and maintaining healthy bones and teeth.</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">To be honest after giving birth I could see this helping a new mom too. During pregnancy baby's suck </span></span><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">everything</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"> out of us and for healthy teeth post partum I could see this being a great benefit to take!</span></span></span></div>
