			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many <a href="http://www.carid.com/" target="_blank">Auto Accessories</a>, both exterior and interior, to meet your automotive accessories of necessity. Beginning with the inside of the car, most of us look upon the sound system. If the car has a good audio system then life is fine. Next we conceive auto interior protection. This protection could be particular car mats to carry the road debris and keep the mess off the floor. These mats perhaps plastic trays, or just nice rubber mats.</p>
<p>Next we deliberate seat cover protection. The type of seat cover protection is a command to who we are. If we have a car that spends many time on trails and in the woods then we&#8217;ll pick out a polycotton product. Something that could carry the abuse of a rough ride. If we&#8217;re into the appear and feel of the seat cover then we&#8217;ll select a micro suede, velour, or some fabric like that. If we wish something in between then we&#8217;re probably to pick out a saddle or tweed fabric to raise the interior look.</p>
<p>For those of us that would like to kick the appear of the interior up a notch we&#8217;ll pick out a dashboard addition, something in wood or metal would be nice. Maybe we would like to add a dash mat to cover the cracks of a worn out dash. Dash mats can be customized with team logos and other personal identifiers.</p>
<p>What about vehicle exterior accessories. Auto body kits are available for almost all models. You are able to add the whole kit or go with an accent. Perhaps headlamp covers, mirror covers, a car hood scoop, you get the picture. Maybe spiff up the wiper blades, supply some window graphics, or alter the appear of your wheels. Even supplying a gas cap cover adds flare to your vehicle.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="body">
<p>With children becoming more vocal and involved in family activities, parent-child lines of authority seem to be blurring. A child, from a very early age, has his opinions and expects that his decisions be counted. A parent wishes to be &#8220;friendly&#8221; to his child but does not want his parental authority to be eroded. What is the right balance?</p>
<p>I would say; the right balance varies from family to family. Here are some broad guidelines about how one could try to reach that elusive balance:</p>
<p>Communicate with your child: Listen to what your child says. Let the child feel comfortable to share information and feelings with parents. A parent has to be patient and non-judgmental in doing this. This will help the child to interact freely.</p>
<p>Be firm in enforcing the rules: It is easy to say, &#8220;yes&#8221; but tough for the parent to say &#8220;no&#8221;. All of us fear the tears, the scornful looks, and the blaming tongue, when we refuse something our kids asked for. Remember, this is not a popularity contest, and your kids have to learn that in a family rules apply to all. Be firm, no matter how unsavory it might seem to you.</p>
<p>Build the trust: Encourage your child to talk about his daily routine with you. Learn who your child&#8217;s friends are at school. What does he enjoy doing? What are his favorite hobbies, and try to involve yourself in his fun activities and games. This encourages bonding between the parent and the child.</p>
<p>Keep the child&#8217;s safety and security in mind: Always remember that as a parent, your prime responsibility is to ensure your child&#8217;s safety. Do not let your child indulge in any activities, which endanger his security, no matter how much your child forces you.</p>
<p>Ensure that the rules are fair: Make sure that you are not overly strict in framing the rules for your child. Let the rules be fair and logical. This will ensure that the child would not resent the undue strictness or disciplining.</p>
<p>Encourage independence in your child: Let your child explore, take decisions, and do things on his own. This will allow him to develop into a holistic personality, unafraid to try new challenge. As parents, you will not be around to fight all your child&#8217;s battles. Equip him with the wisdom and the opportunities to face tomorrow&#8217;s challenges adeptly.</p>
<p>Discipline is important: Teach your child the importance of following rules: be it at home, in school, or outside the house. Do not let your love blind you into doing everything that he asks you to do. Remember, discipline teaches a child to evolve into a more adaptable adult.</p>
<p>Rules must be clear and consistent: Make sure that the child clearly understands the rules. Ensure that the rules are enforced similarly each time. This makes it easy for the child to understand them and acceptance of the enforcement then becomes easier.</p>
<p>Hence, it is crucial that a parent tread the fine line between being a friend and a parent carefully. It is essential and certainly desirable to be friends with our kids. However, we as parents have a larger role in teaching them the importance of discipline and following rules. Sometimes, they might get angry or throw tantrums, but if you do the enforcement correctly and consistently; they would understand the importance sooner than later.</p>

<p>The first few weeks of pregnancy brings about many changes, but not all women will experience them in the same way. While the baby continues to grow rapidly, many women will not feel pregnant for weeks to come.</p>
<p>During the seventh week of pregnancy, the embryo is about the size of a blueberry, measuring one half-inch long. Despite his or her size, however, the embryo is already developing arms and legs along with a small tail, which will later disappear. The hemispheres of the brain develop during this week, as do the liver, appendix, and pancreas. The liver produces red blood cells until bone marrow forms, while the appendix and pancreas prepare to develop insulin, which will later regulate digestion. The umbilical cord is delivering oxygen nutrients to the embryo through the blood vessels that have already developed in the tiny embryo.</p>
<p>For the mother, week seven of pregnancy can mark the beginning of morning sickness. While not all women experience morning sickness, more than half who do will stop feeling nauseous by week fourteen of pregnancy; for others, it can continue throughout the pregnancy, even into the third trimester. The uterus is already twice the size that it was before pregnancy, and blood volume increases by 10 percent. Pressure on the bladder leads to more frequent urination, which will only get worse as the weeks go on.</p>
<p>Week seven of pregnancy can signal the beginning of the rough patch, as the first trimester is notorious for morning sickness and other unpleasant symptoms. However, most women will find relief as time passes.</p>

<p>Many women who are experiencing pregnancy for the first time are not sure what the symptoms of morning sickness are. Some will even dismiss what they are feeling because they envision it to be something more extreme. The truth is that not all symptoms are severe and that what you feel may indeed be morning sickness.</p>
<p>One of the first symptoms that will probably sneak up on you is fatigue. Although many women will feel tired just from the amount of work that the body is doing, sometimes it will progress into other symptoms as time goes on. Take time to rest as you need it and are able to so that your body has the energy it needs.</p>
<p>The next symptom is one that is often overlooked because it is not really obvious. Women will often find that their sense of smell becomes heightened and many smells become unbearable. Strong smells like perfumes and cooking odors are especially to blame and this can start to lead to serious nausea. Avoid the smells when you can and try to use a fan while cooking to eliminate the strong smells.</p>
<p>As time goes on, you may find that you suddenly have a decreased appetite and just don&#8217;t feel hungry as often. This is likely due to a queasy stomach caused by morning sickness. Remember to eat regular nutritious meals even when you don&#8217;t feel like it because you need the food as fuel for both you and your developing baby.</p>
<p>Nausea would seem to be an obvious symptom, but many women dismiss it because it may be very low-grade. Anytime your stomach is upset or queasy, this constitutes nausea and is definitely a morning sickness symptom. Start looking to see if you can find what triggers it and what types of things help you feel better.</p>
<p>Lastly, vomiting is probably the most obvious symptom. Whether you vomit once a day or 20 times a day, it is likely caused by your morning sickness. Dehydration is a serious risk with vomiting, and if you find yourself vomiting a lot, you should contact your healthcare provider.</p>
<p>A new pregnancy can be a very happy time, and many women look forward to seeing some of the symptoms of morning sickness. Remember that the symptoms may be very mild or very severe and although you can&#8217;t prevent them, you can take care of yourself with rest, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.squidoo.com/b6-morning-sickness" target="_new">supplements</a> and a healthy diet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of teens nowadays do not understand the value of earning and spending money. They were not oriented that investing is necessary even if they are still students. As parents, you play a crucial role in this area.</p>
<p>You should be able to teach your kids on how to save money. They should be able to understand the concept of money and investment as early as childhood. This will prepare them to learn money management, as they grow old.</p>
<p>Here are some tips on how you can teach your children how to save money:</p>
<p>1. Your children should be educated of the meaning of money. Once your children have learned how to count, that is the perfect time for you teach them the real meaning of money. You should be consistent and explain to them in simple ways and do this frequently so that they may be able to remember what you taught them.</p>
<p>2. Always explain to them the value of saving money. Make them understand its importance and how it will impact their life. It is important that you entertain questions from them about money and you should be able to answer them right away.</p>
<p>3. When giving them their allowances. You need to give them their allowances in denominations. Then you can encourage them that they should keep a certain bill for the future. You can motivate them to do this by telling them that the money can be saved and they can buy new pair of shoes or the toys they want once they are able to save.</p>
<p>4. You can also teach them to work for money. You can start this at your own home. You can pay them fifty cents to one dollar every time they clean their rooms, do the dishes or feed their pets. This concept of earning little money will make them think that money is something they have worked for and should be spent wisely.</p>
<p>5. You can teach them to save money by giving them piggy banks where they can put coins and wait until they get full. You can also open bank accounts for them and let them deposit money from their allowance. You should always show them how much they have earned to keep them motivated.</p>
<p>Money and saving is not something that is learned by children in one sitting. You should be patient in teaching them and relating the value of money in all of their activities. Children will learn this easily if you are patient and consistent in guiding them and encouraging them in this endeavor.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We might often hear “well, I eat a lot because I eat for two, my baby and me” we used to believe it and when we become an expectant mother, we start to apply the concept in out eating habit. Beware ladies because the concept is not even close to the fact. The expectant mothers are often use or feel that they can eat all meals they want because it is for the sake of the baby. Well, from now on, all the expectant mothers should stop the concept just to fulfill their desire to eat foods they like.</p>
<p>During the pregnancy, we will gain weight, but it does not mean that we can eat anything we like. On the other side, it should be the time when we control our food and nutrition intake. This is the time when we should eat healthy food, not fatty food. On the gaining weight process, make sure that we gain weight because of the baby development, not because the chocolate we eat everyday. To get a good weight gain, we should organize our intake and use <a href="http://www.babycenter.com/pregnancy-weight-gain-estimator">Weight Gain Estimator</a>.</p>
<p>The normal weight gain for expectant when reaching the 3td trimester is about 9- 12 kg. With the normal weight gain, we will get easiness on delivering the baby and the baby will have a normal weight. Not only that weight gain we should think about, but also weight loss after the pregnancy. Make sure that we choose the right method and treatment. Each woman has her own condition, some may consume <a href="http://www.ukmedix.com/xenical/info.cfm">xenica</a>l and some other not. Use the perfect diet method suit us.</p>

<p>Expectant mothers are being bombarded with new prenatal fish oil supplements. Are they effective? Are they safe? Should you take DHA during pregnancy at all? The answers are maybe, maybe and yes &#8211; if you know what you are doing.</p>
<p>First, there seems to be some confusion about the relationship between DHA and omega 3 fish oil. <em>DHA is an omega 3</em>. What this means is that if you are trying to take DHA during pregnancy, you do not need a &#8220;prenatal&#8221; formula. A quality omega 3 fish oil supplement will not only suffice but in most cases be preferable.</p>
<p>There are really two omega 3s that mother and child need. The second one is EPA. In, other words if you plan on taking DHA during pregnancy you need EPA also, but not as much.</p>
<p><strong>Why should I take omega 3s in the first place?</strong></p>
<p>The two found in fish oil are part of every cell in our body. DHA is particularly prevalent in the brain and eyes, EPA in cell membranes. The research on this has not gone unnoticed, even in Washington.</p>
<p>Omega 3s have been shown to benefit four of the top five ailments or conditions for which troops receive hospital treatment. Those includes pregnancy and depression. The U.S. Department of defense is looking into adding these essential fats to soldiers diets.</p>
<p>It is not just combat performance that could be improved by omega-3s. Some military dietitians believe they could help to cut medical bills running into millions of dollars. The DOD is looking at doing this for their pregnant female soldiers because the research is pretty overwhelming.</p>
<p><strong>What scientists have found is this.</strong></p>
<p>Ninety-nine% of people in the West are estimated to have an omega 3 deficiency. Unless an expectant mother takes EPA and DHA during pregnancy that figure is going to include her and her child. What this means is that after the child is born she or he will be more likely to have:</p>
<p>1] Increased risk of depression, ADD, mood swings and emotional volatility.</p>
<p>2] Lower IQ scores &#8211; 8-10 points or more.</p>
<p>3] Visual problems.</p>
<p>4] Coordination development issues.</p>
<p>Mom is also more likely to have early labor and postpartum depression of her own.</p>
<p>The growing fetus is almost literally an omega 3 sponge. Since our bodies can not make these essential fats, the fetus is going to grab them from mom. If mom is not taking EPA and DHA during pregnancy then they both will likely have shortages.</p>
<p><strong>What about supplements? </strong></p>
<p>The only way to get these fats is by supplement or eating a lot of fish. The FDA is okay with purified supplements but not with too much fish. Heavy metals from the ocean are bad for everyone but downright deadly to young children.</p>
<p>As I mentioned earlier there are no special omega 3s for prenatal, postnatal or senior citizens. In fact, many of the prenatal supplements I have seen are inefficient at the least and contaminated at the worst. Do your research. Stick with quality. For more information in this area, please visit my website.</p>
<p>Remember, your unborn child is getting nutrients from you. Talk to your doctor about taking EPA and DHA during pregnancy. You need enough for at least two of you.</p>

<p>An invitation tells everyone a party&#8217;s theme, along with setting the tone of the event. Invitations also incite excitement as guests look forward to coming to the party. Of course, your little one-year-olds won&#8217;t have a clue, but their parents will. They will anxiously look forward to bringing their child to the party. So, let&#8217;s get start by getting everyone in the Elmo Birthday Party mood!</p>
<p><strong>GUEST LIST</strong></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re holding the party at your home, be sure you will be able to accommodate everyone who will be attending. Double-check the baby proofing of your home. It may be fine for one toddler, but may require additional removal of things for several little ones to run safely around your home. Also, be sure to have enough helpers to assist with your toddler crowd.</p>
<p><strong>PARTY PARTICULARS</strong></p>
<p>Insure your invitations provide all the necessary party particulars. Birthday child&#8217;s name, age, time party starts and ends, date, location, (directions, if needed), and party theme. Be sure to provide RSVP info, which includes a contact name, phone number, and response date.</p>
<p><strong>SPECIAL PARTY PARTICULARS</strong></p>
<p>If you have any special instructions to your guests, don&#8217;t forget to include that info in the invites. For example, you might want to request moms to bring a high chair, to keep your little guests contained when they eat. If you&#8217;re having any water activities, you might want moms to bring a bathing suit and towel.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s some ideas for Elmo Party invitations to help get your creative juices flowing:</p>
<p><strong>FURRY ELMO INVITES</strong></p>
<p>Cut a large red circle out of a piece of card stock and write all of the party details on one side. Turn it over and glue red fur fabric to it. Glue an orange pom-pom for the nose, black felt for the mouth, and plastic Google eyes to the red fur.</p>
<p><strong>BIG RED ELMO INVITES</strong></p>
<p>Cut a large red circle out of a piece of card stock and write all of the party details on one side. On the reverse side, glue Google eyes, an orange pom-pom for the nose, and black felt for the mouth. In the alternative, you could just use orange paper for the nose and black paper for the mouth.</p>
<p><strong>ELMO INVITATIONS</strong></p>
<p>Cut 8 1/2&#8243; x 11&#8243; yellow card stock into 4 pieces. Type or handwrite party details in calligraphy on piece of textured white scrapbook paper. Cut each finished piece with decorative scissors so they measure 3&#8243; x 4 1/2&#8243;. Glue to card stock. Decorate corners with Elmo stickers and embellish edges with glitter. On opposite side decorate with Elmo stickers and die cuts of letters and numbers.</p>
<p><strong>ELMO PHOTO INVITATIONS</strong></p>
<p>Cut 8 1/2&#8243; x 11&#8243; yellow card stock into 2 pieces and fold in half. Using decorative scissors, trim edges of photo of your baby in an Elmo costume so photo is slightly smaller than card stock. Glue photo to front of invitation. Put &#8220;Come Celebrate My 1st Birthday!&#8221; above the photo. On decorative paper (finished size 4 1/2&#8243; x 7 1/2&#8243;) either type or handwrite in calligraphy the following on left side:</p>
<p>(Baby&#8217;s Name) birthday is brought to you by the letter (first letter of baby&#8217;s name) and the number &#8220;1.&#8221;<br />
Date &amp; Time:<br />
Elmo&#8217;s World Location:<br />
R.S.V.P. to:</p>
<p><strong>EMBELLISHED READY-MADE ELMO INVITATIONS</strong></p>
<p>Buy ready-made Elmo invitations and embellish picture. Add wiggly eyes, red glitter on body, orange felt for nose, and black felt for mouth.</p>
