It's been on my mind & heart to get back to it...and then "life" happens and I get sidetracked again - BUT NOT TODAY! I thought it would be a perfect day to start my journey back into the blogosphere by sharing info about an upcoming adventure I'll be embarking upon here in Northern Michigan. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recently I </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.myminimocs.com/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">(Mini-Mocs)</span></a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> was invited to participate in a traveling show that goes cross country stopping in different locations spreading the good news about AMERICAN MADE products! I loved the concept behind it from the first time I heard about them when they did a show in Novi, Michigan earlier this year.</span><br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XMn5Rg0Acok/UgkUEAryT7I/AAAAAAAABR4/gsNgmTV7abk/s1600/boyne+mountain.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="175" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XMn5Rg0Acok/UgkUEAryT7I/AAAAAAAABR4/gsNgmTV7abk/s400/boyne+mountain.jpg" width="400" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well they're back in Michigan and the <a href="http://www.miaroadshows.com/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Made in America Roadshows</span></a> is heading up to the beautiful city of Boyne. The show will be set up as an indoor/outdoor venue at the base of Boyne Mountain in the Grande Lodge. That alone rocks my world and gets me excited about going but to top it off there will be 70+ vendors & businesses presenting & selling there MADE IN AMERICA products...so cool!!! It's event that is sure to have something for everyone. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As summer is coming to a close and kids will soon be heading back to school what better way to spend a couple days being surrounded by beautiful atmosphere, enjoying the Taste of Michigan food & wine tent and discovering the wonderfully talented artisans & quality products the are MADE IN THE USA! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is one more reason to join in the fun, and it's an important one! Saturday evening at 5:30 the Made in America Roadshows will host a live auction to benefit <a href="http://www.angel-ambassadors.org/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Angel Ambassadors</span></a>. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;">Angel Ambassadors is a non-profit that will help Veterans and active duty military members and their families with needs that are not covered by </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;">military benefits.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"> With our help, they can help with something as small as a gas card to go to a doctor appointment or as big as a house remodel for a world war II Veteran.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.3em;">Because "smart" is such a vague term, I thought I would break down the brain-boosting benefits of motherhood into the five most likely "smart" attributes: perception, efficiency, resiliency, motivation, and emotional intelligence. All of these categories have been supported by many animal studies as well as some human studies designed to show how mothers have an edge. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 4px;">
<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XkCyO-O5OqU/TqoGRYzyPOI/AAAAAAAAA8k/sBisdMOWaSk/s1600/Mom_and_baby_sleeping.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; color: #999999; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-decoration: initial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XkCyO-O5OqU/TqoGRYzyPOI/AAAAAAAAA8k/sBisdMOWaSk/s320/Mom_and_baby_sleeping.jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 4px;" width="213" /></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The category of perception deals mainly with the five senses. A study I found very interesting showed that pregnant women had sharper "visual acuity" than women who weren't expecting. This study certainly didn't imply that expectant women suddenly had 20/20 vision, but they were more aware of detail that they may have overlooked prior to pregnancy. Other studies have also showed that pregnant women have an enhanced sense of smell which researchers believe serves as a way to protect the unborn baby from foods that are potentially harmful.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 4px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.3em;">Furthermore findings show that expectant women can experience a boost in motivation, fearlessness, and the ability to multitask and cope with more stress. Exciting new research also suggests that oxytocin — a hormone important to labor and breastfeeding — improves a moms' capacity for learning and memory.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 4px;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.3em;">Emotional intelligence is the most definitive category in which mothers benefit. This brain boost for moms acts as the ability to see the world through someone else's eyes. In most of life's relationships, if you don't agree with a person you can just walk away, but you can't walk away from your child. At least, not if you want to be a good parent. Instead, you've got to stretch your mind to understand their point of view. In no way did any of these studies suggest that women who weren't pregnant were lacking in any of the five researched areas but instead they simply confirmed that the changes women were noticing in themselves were in-fact valid and accurate. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #1a71a8; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">When someone says to you..."that they're as strong as an Ox", I'm sure a baby is not the first visual that come to mind. However pound for pound, babies are stronger than many animals including an ox. As unbelievable as it may seem, an oxen is actually the best example of comparable strength in the animal kingdom. A baby's strongest muscles are in their legs. </span></div>

They can scream and holler for what they want or need, but newborns technically can't cry. When baby is born his or her tears ducts are not fully developed. </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px;">Tears don't actually begin to flow until babies are about three weeks old. In some cases, it isn’t unusual for babies not to shed their first tears until four or five months. </span><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;">You may not know it when you hear goo-goo ga-ga but babies actually try to communicate almost all the time. It isn't easy because they can't make the same sounds that we adults understand as words. Because of this we often assume the sounds they're making are meaningless. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">On the contrary the sounds your baby is making are not just cooing & wooing, it <i>IS</i> language, all sounds are language. Babies do not waste their breath saying nothing, remember just because you don't understand their language doesn't mean they don't clearly understand it and know what they are saying. It is very important to listen & respond to your baby's effort to communicate. It is vital for a baby's communicative development that their caregivers acknowledge that they are in fact talking and being heard. </span></span></h3>

<span style="line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">Babies can pay attention to up to 10 things at once instead of focusing on one thing at a time like adults do. </span><span style="line-height: 1.6em; text-align: left;">This is one of the primary reasons why babies learn so quickly. Don't be fooled, babies may not pay attention to what we want them to, but they ARE definitely paying attention. As parents and caregivers if we can determine some of the things that they pay particular attention too we can share in the joys of their discoveries. </span></div>

This encourages babies to become an active part of two-way interaction, motherese seems to be an important tool in building and deepening the emotional bond between adults and babies, and serves as baby’s first introduction to language and communication skills. </span></div>

When babies are given the opportunity to be on his belly on the floor, they will move and love every minute of it. All too often a baby is placed in a high chair, backpack carrier, playpen, car seat, or stationary walker, but a baby should be free to move on their bellies as much as possible, and confined, bundled up, or restricted as little as possible. This type of free movement stimulation promotes a sense of security, confidence and curiosity all while strengthening important neck and upper body muscles.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"> </span></span></span></h3>

While it may seem at time that your baby is just laying around not doing much...nothing could be further from the truth. Babies do a huge number of things internally, they are very intent human beings determined to overcome difficult circumstances such as blindness, deafness and immobility. At birth, a baby is born functionally blind, deaf, and immobile. Baby's bodies & brains are full of sensory and motor pathways that grow and develop through stimulation. Interacting with your child through verbal communication and eye contact really help with stimulation but even without your constant attention human instinct for self preservation is strong. Babies can self stimulate, by looking at their surroundings, listening intently to noises and by kicking and moving their arms & legs. While many of these movements may be involuntary they are inner connected to the sensory pathways that need to be strengthened.</div>

It's been said that if a mother doesn't hold or nurse her newborn child in the first few hours of life the bond between mother & child may not be as strong. Fortunately many experts agree that this is pure myth. It's been suggested that there is only one chance to do things right as a mother and although research does show that the first few hours of baby's life are an important bonding time these hours do not dictate the bonds that will last a lifetime. Experts have seen time and time again that mothers having </div>

C-Sections, cases where newborns are in need of immediate medical attention apart from their mother or in the instances of infant adoption, very strong life long bonds are developed quickly. A loving relationship over the child's lifetime more than make up for those missing few hours, days or even weeks of separation at the beginning of life.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial;">UVB Rays are the shallow penetrating rays of the sun. They are responsible for tanning and even burning the skin it can also contribute to skin cancer and aging. UVB protection is measured by the Sun Protection Factor better known as SPF. The number that follows signifies how many times longer you can stay in the sun without getting burnt as apposed to going out without any sunscreen.</span></div>

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">UVA Rays penetrate much deeper and they do not physically tan or burn the skin, but they are the rays that are the primary responsible for skin cancer and premature aging. Because the UVA Rays are so powerful SPF will not protect against them. There are only four ingredients proven to protect against UVA Rays; zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, avobenzone, and mexoryl. Be cautious however as avobenzone and mexoryl are highly unstable and break down quickly in the sunlight. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial;">When selecting a sunscreen that will protect your little one from the harsh sun parents should look for sunscreens that contain no less 7% zinx oxide or titanium dioxide. Even in direct sun these ingredients will protect against UVA rays for at least two hours.</span></div>

Don't worry if you still trying to figure out your baby's first language, it may take a little time to recognize the different tones of each cry. As time goes by you'll become fluent in "CRY" and will easily identify your baby's unique way of communicating their needs. From the loud shrieking of discomfort to a more subdued whimpering of fatigue, each request will be made with a different cry. Although "CRY" is the universal language for baby's they all "speak" it a little differently, in fact some baby's will </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">howl for no reason at all. But no matter what their need may be more often then not you'll be able to meet it. just by the sound of their cry. </span>myminimocshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15016578552801745960noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3092352650536604966.post-80838737855177898292012-07-18T07:00:00.000-04:002012-07-18T07:00:10.480-04:00Wednesday Chuckle<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">HILARIOUS!!! i don't think any other dog butt could pull off this look!

Babies look like little angels when they're sleeping. But often new parents spend a good part of each night bent over the side of their baby's crib, checking to make sure their angel is still breathing. Until you learn your infants breathing patterns, watching your baby taking irregular breaths can be nerve wracking. Rest assured that those slight pauses and then periods of rapid deep breaths are perfectly normal. Occasional moments of irregular breathing is part of the development of the diaphragm, the muscle that enables breathing. Pauses of up to 20 seconds are considered normal. By the time your baby is about 6 weeks old they should develop a more regular breathing pattern. </div>

During pregnancy your baby's skin is protected from this watery world by a coating of a white waxy material called vernix. After baby is born & their skin is exposed to the air and the vernix is rubbed away, the upper layer of their skin dries out and begins to peel. A baby's entire body may peel (but it's most noticeable on the hands and feet). it is important that you don't try to pick off the flakes -- by doing so you may end up removing skin that's not ready to be shed. Baby lotions do not stop this shedding and are not necessary. This "skin shedding" usually lasts one to two weeks.</span></span></span>myminimocshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15016578552801745960noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3092352650536604966.post-25821275140091304282012-07-02T09:50:00.001-04:002012-07-02T09:50:16.878-04:00More Than Monday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A sucking callus causes no discomfort to your baby. In fact, the overgrowth of skin stiffens the lip and may make grasping the nipple easier. The callus will disappear on its own in a few months, or it might come and go from day to day.</span></span></div>myminimocshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15016578552801745960noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3092352650536604966.post-20270260638253681312012-06-25T07:00:00.000-04:002012-06-25T07:00:13.040-04:00♥ ~ More than Monday ~ ♥<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"><i>Even when the waves of Life are Overwhelming to me the Awesome Power & Majestic Beauty of God shows itself and reminds me I belong to Him!!!</i></span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;" /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vjJz3JLW2fQ/Tiy9YLEEf3I/AAAAAAAAA40/rFC5psn40p8/s1600/ocean.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; color: #cc6600; float: left; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vjJz3JLW2fQ/Tiy9YLEEf3I/AAAAAAAAA40/rFC5psn40p8/s400/ocean.jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 4px;" width="400" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"><br /></span><br style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;" /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Inspiration comes in different ways on different days for all of us...</span></span><br />
