Ever hear, “Let me do it by myself!” Well it’s time to listen up!

Your child is following an inner blue print to become independent and you can either help or hinder.

The only way to keep up with the latest about communication with unborn baby is to stay constantly on the lookout for new information.

You can communicate with your unborn baby by simply talking to him or her with your heart. Most of the time, you do not need to talk out loud. Communication can be carried out using only your thoughts. Therefore, you can do what is called internal communication which is done silently. I believe this method is just as effective to reach out to your child and he or she will be able to understand and receive our message.

One of the most important things that you must know about a nanny you are considering hiring to take care of your children is to find out what the references have to say.

If someone comes to you applying as a nanny to care for your children and/or your home, you want to be sure of the following before entering any conversation:

1) Does this person have experience as a nanny?
2) How many years of experience?
3) Are there working references that can be contacted?

Once you have the “yes” answer to the above three questions, now you can proceed with the interview.

Valentine’s Day is upon us yet again and there is panic among the men in my office. As unorganised as ever, they’re rushing about last minute to get a gift that ‘will do’. Don’t be fooled - us women know the difference between a present that ‘will do’ and one that has had some thought. And it it’s a ‘will do’ present, you just know you’re going to be paying for a long time.
