Babies
start crawling between 8 and 12 months. Best thing for the little
crawlers is to let them go barefoot. Doing so allows them to have full
contact between their skin and the ground, helping them gain a better
understanding of balance and flexibility. Shoes and socks at this stage
can restrict their motor development. Ill-fitting ones can also have
detrimental effects on their feet.

The safe, quick & easy nail trimmer for newborns, babies & children (0-5)
Anyone with a baby or young child knows that it is important to maintain
good health and hygiene. Your bundle of love’s health can be affected by having
long fingernails in a number of ways, from dirt and germs trapped under them,
to accidentally hurting themselves, other children or you. That is why we
created the Nail Snail. The Nail Snail provides a way to keep your baby,
toddler, or young child’s finger nails neat and clipped with no fuss or injury.
It has a unique patented design that provides many unique benefits.
Innovative Design
The first benefit of the Nail Snail is its 3-in-1 design. Because of
this unique innovation of Australian engineering, the Nail Snail has three
tools that replace the need for traditional nail trimming methods. First is the
noiseless cutting edge, which will let you cut your child or baby’s nails
without any protest from them. Everyone knows that it is easier to do things
for your child when they are not resisting, so the unique noiseless cutting
edge of the Nail Snail can save you lots of time over the course of its use.
Moreover, the V-shaped blade is perfect for cutting nails without snagging,
making the nail cutting process easier on everyone. It is ideal for both
fingers and toes because of this incredibly safe set up.
Patented Safe Shape
Another benefit of the Nail Snail is its fun, safe shape. Traditional
nail trimming implements can be scary and intimidating to children. The Nail
Snail houses all of the tools that you need in a small, cute, and safe housing.
The fun snail design not only makes getting their nails trimmed less
frightening for babies and children, but also makes the device into a cute
shape that your child will want to hold on to and understand, helping them
learn how to take care of themselves. Additionally, the snail design means that
you can trust your child or baby will not be able to choke on the device, a
stark difference from traditional methods of nail trimming.
Everyone Can Relax!
The design of the Nail Snail makes it easy to grip, as a result parents
and babysitters who might be nervous about trimming baby’s nails will feel at
easy knowing that they have supreme control over the device. Not only will this
help parents split chores more evenly and make everyone’s lives a bit easier,
but also show your young child that taking care of themselves and their body
can be fun. This can help encourage good hygiene practices at a young age,
which is important for both your child’s health and their social development.
As you can see there are lots of benefits to the Nail Snail, and there
are many more waiting for you to discover. The Nail Snail
also has a file, is 100% Australian owned and engineered, and doesn’t require
any batteries or have any moving parts. Click around and learn about how the
Nail Snail can make your life easier, your child healthier, and your family
happier.

When a marriage comes to an end, it’s
always a tragedy.Of course the rending
of the family unit and the difficulty for the kids is the hardest thing about
separating at divorce.But the
difficulty of separating one house into two can be difficult and tedious to say
the least.You have to go from one
checking account to two, two homes instead of one and separate accounts for
everything from credit cards to utilities.
The is an additional overhead to how to
handle a divorce situation if in addition to splitting your assets, credit card
debt that may have been a part of the shared family financial picture also must
be split up.To the credit card company,
that family credit card is the property of that shared entity which was the
marriage.So when the union splits up,
the transition from a financial point of view of your accounts separating is
not over night.
So one of the many issues to be discussed
and a plan made for is how to separate that credit card debt.Whoever continues to hold the family accounts
will continue to get those bills and be expected to pay them.Now the least preferable way to handle the
debt is to build the payments into any forced settlement agreement such as child
support.So at the time the divorce is
final, the amount of the debt and the payments that must be made could be
calculated and half of that put into the amount that the income generating
partner must provide.
But that leaves the management of those
credit card debts to one partner and the other one just has to pay a set
amount.And if the credit cards get used
by either partner, that legal amount would have to constantly be changed and
that would prove to be a constant headache of administration.
If the divorce is a shared responsibility
so each spouse can work with the other to adjust the financial picture in an
advantageous way, then how to separate the credit card debt should be part of
that planning.Part of that planning is
how to use shared assets to pay down that debt.You may have a home that will be sold, retirement accounts or other
assets that were set aside for the future of the marriage.Before you sell those things,close
those accounts and distribute the funds, look at using the outcome to retire
that shared debt.
But it’s likely some of that debt load will
live on past the divorce.In those cases
splitting into two individual accounts may be the way to go.In that way, if the family was carrying
$10,000 in debt, if each marriage partner walks away with $5000 of the debt,
that is at least fair and equitable and how each individual handles that debt
is up to them.
There are two ways you can go about
splitting the credit card debt.If the
debt is with a carrier with whom you can negotiate and conduct a dialog,
getting a meeting or having a conference call with the managers there would be
productive.The credit card company
would far rather negotiate with you how to handle this debt load then deal with
it chaotically after the fact.So they
may be willing to set up separate individual accounts and split the debt for
you.
But you can always use the method many of
us have used to manage credit card debt up until now.Each of you can set up some new separate
credit card accounts.You no doubt have
dozens of credit card offers coming in that you can use to kick off this
process.Almost always part of the set
up offers for these accounts are balance transfers.So if you take out individual accounts and
use the balance transfers to move each partners shared part of the debt to
those accounts, that would be a clean way to split the debt up.
There may be adjustments to be made to the
50-50 split idea based on who is the primary bread winner and maybe who ran up
the debt and on what.But by negotiating
the terms of how you are going to separate the credit card debt when you
separate the marriage, that will be one more than that you are handling in a
mature and responsible manner in the middle of a very tough situation.
Late at night, while you
sit in front of your lighted vanity mirror, using a brush to straighten your
hair before going to sleep next to your sound asleep husband, you keep on
thinking how time has passed and how your once passionate relationship has
turned into just another convenience. Or, as a man, as you stand for hours in
front of a computer of television set, instead of spending it with your wife,
you might think of what makes you still stay together. Sure, it’s the kids and
everyday projects and chores that do it, but will that be enough to keep things
lasting forever?
And would you be
interested keeping up being involved in a relationship that means almost
nothing anymore to you? If once a great passion was what united you two, now
all this has been replaced by mere habit. What has gone wrong? And how can you
rekindle the once vivid flame between you, now burnt down?
Scientific studies
conducted by psychologists, as well as real life experience, have concluded
that the number one problem in relationships is related to inexistent or
inappropriate communication. Lack of communication is the main reason why
almost every good relationship fails. Consider this thing the first time you
see your wife or husband again. Listen to your partner’s opinions and desires,
just listen without interrupting him or her. Afterwards, give your own opinion
on the topic, and do it in a civilized manner. A good communication between
spouses is also the signal of a high level of trust and respect in that
marriage (just the things that make a relationship work). And if these two
things become to be less and less present in your relationship throughout time,
it is through communication as well that you can bring them back.
Also, please note that a
solid exchange of ideas in the relationship means, first of all, that honesty
is an essential component. Sometimes, you might have to share with your partner
the things he or she does not want to hear: better doing this than to have him
or her doubting your honesty. Lack of trust is one of the greatest enemies of
any relationship. And once trust is lost or broken, the time to mend the
connection inside the couple might take a very long time. The happiest couples
are the ones where honesty comes just as natural as breathing.
So here you have it,
folks, this is the number one secret to getting your relationship back on the
right track: learn once more to talk to your partner, do it in a respectful and
truthful way, without hiding even the tiniest of truths and good things will
await you. For it is only through communication that you can make your
relationship great again. Stop behaving to the woman or man next to you as you
would to a complete stranger and remember that, once, this was the person you
most loved and cherished in the entire world.
a) Limit personal email and computer time.
Figure out a reasonable amount of time you want to spend on email or
the computer and stick to it. Try breaking your email or computer time
up so you're only using it twice a day. b) Do all of your errands one day a week, working off a list and taking the most efficient route. c) Create a master calendar in your email in-box.
Then add important appointments and activities and set up reminders for
up to one week ahead. This calendar can be shared with family members
through email. (Google Calendar, a free web-based system, sends
reminders to mobile phones.) d) Schedule your child's doctor's appointments for first thing in the morning. You're less likely to have a long wait.
1. IT’S EASY. If you can afford a daily cup of coffee, you can afford to
sponsor a child! Sponsorship starts so low (less than a soda or cup of
coffee per day) because your money goes so far in Tanzania, where so
many still suffer from dire poverty. Just $20 feeds a child at
the orphanage for a month, and $50 cover’s a week’s salary for a
caregiver. Even better, as a small, grassroots NGO employing mostly
local staff, we are able to achieve incredible results on a
comparatively tiny budget. That’s what our organization is all about -
bringing together small contributions from individuals all over the
world in order to achieve big results! Sponsorship covers food,
caretakers, education, medical care, and all other needs for your
sponsored child.
2. IT’S FUN.
You’ll enjoy watching your sponsored child grow and thrive! These kids
are sweet, funny, smart, and hilarious - your life will be enriched by
knowing them. This is crucial for you to understand - these
kids are not broken, and despite having lived through often immense
trauma, they are at their core just normal, happy, healthy kids. Little
Baracka, one of the strongest willed little boys I have ever had the
immense pleasure of knowing, decided around one and a half that he
refused to be left behind in the mornings with the other younger
children, including his twin sister, when the older kids (3+) attended
preschool. Instead he simply followed them out day after day, screaming
bloody murder if interrupted, until he was allowed to stay. Recently,
Ema (who is ten years old) asked me if his sponsor is old. When I asked
him what old meant, he considered for a minute before responding, “Like,
30?” David is nine, and describes himself gleefully as having “big ears
like an elephant.” They make me laugh every single day. Sponsors
receive quarterly updates, photos, and often direct letters and videos
from the children as they grow up.
3. IT’S GOOD FOR YOU.
Not only will sponsoring a child make you smile, you will feel great
knowing you are making a difference in the world. There are even studies
that show that charitable giving improves the health and happiness of
the giver! There is a large and growing body of research
demonstrating charity’s positive effects on the giver, a real win/win
situation! According to a study done in 2008, those who give to the
needy reduce the odds of a premature death by nearly 60% compared with
those who don’t lend a helping hand. Lead author Stephanie Brown
explains, “Making a contribution to the lives of other people may help
to extend our own lives.” In another study from 2008 originating at
Harvard, giving money away created more happiness for participants than
spending it on themselves, even if they expected the opposite. This
happens because altruistic actions releaseendorphins in the brain,
giving you that great “warm fuzzy” feeling that comes from doing good.
4. IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR FAMILY.
Sponsoring a child together with your own kids or grandchildren can be a
great way to bond as a family while teaching them about the importance
of giving back. For kids, it can be hard to grasp the immensity
of problems like poverty and lack of medical access. Sponsoring a
child, especially one around their own age, helps put a human face on
abstract ideas, while also helping them get to know kids from another
culture. This type of interaction with real kids can also help them to
understand that tough childhoods or different backgrounds are nothing
when compared to the vast commonalities between children all over the
world! We have one great couple who sponsor a little girl the same age
as their own baby girl, May -they share the same raucous laugh and
chubby cheeks!
5. IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE FOR ONE CHILD
We create hope for orphaned and vulnerable children, by providing loving
care when they have nowhere else to go, and by building up the capacity
of their families and communities in order to give them brighter
futures. 100% of sponsorship funds are spent on the children’s care! Up
until about ten years ago, the children who grew up in the orphanage
were simply sent back to the village at age five, regardless of whether
there was anyone there able and willing to care for them. More than a
third ended up abused, neglected, or passing away. Now there are two
possibilities - either we find loving relatives who want to take them in
but require financial support, and assist them through payment of
school fees, microfinance and business development. Alternatively, they
move into the warm family-style homes at Happy Family Children’s
Village, attend high quality schools while living as a group with the
children and caretakers they have known their entire lives.
6. IT CREATES A BETTER FUTURE FOR US ALL.
It’s not just the kids who benefit from your generosity. Sponsorship
raises leaders and helps families and communities, ensuring that the
positive effects of your donation continue for many years to come. TST
is local at every level -we have Tanzanian caretakers, volunteers,
support and management staff. We are not anyone’s saviors - we simply
provide the support and infrastructure that the community needs to lift
itself up. Overall, more than 90% of our budget is spent on the ground
in Tanzania and goes right back into the local community. Through our
family preservation and reunification efforts, we use sponsorship funds
to either bring children home from orphanage care or keep them from
entering residential care in the first place. We’ve helped many families
to create sustainable businesses, pumped over half a million dollars
into the local economy, and given happy, healthy childhoods to over a
hundred children. With their excellent educations, high levels of
support, and global perspective, they are poised to become the next
leaders of Tanzania and (who knows?) maybe the world!

"Kinderjazz push boundaries of genre with
'unbreakable joy'. The Australia-based Kinderjazz symbolize the past and future
of the genre, respectful of their swing ancestry but unafraid to play in the

music," take note that Kinderjazz are not delivering you canned music or
covers; these are new songs with the flavors of old, performed with unbreakable
joy and impressive technical skill. There should be a sticker on the CD which
flatly states, "Contains no cheese."--Al Coleman Jr. - Jazz Kings
