Welcome to the September 1, 2013 edition of motherhood and family.
Kaitlyn Johnson presents 10 Ways the Duchess of Cambridge’s Labor and Delivery Was Different Than Most posted at Newborn Care, saying, "While high-profile pregnancies and deliveries seem to be a perpetual favorite of entertainment news outlets, few new arrivals have been surrounded by the excitement and anticipation as that of the Royal baby. There are many facets of the labor and delivery process that were different for the Duchess of Cambridge than that of the average woman; these are 10 of the ways that the royal delivery was far different than the ones that most new moms experience."
Lisa Jackson presents 7 Everyday Ways Families Can Invest in Their Communities posted at Live-Out Nanny, saying, "The community in which you live can be more than just the area surrounding your home. Ideally, it’s a place where your friends and neighbors come together to make a real and lasting impact on one another’s lives, and where your children learn to contribute to not only their household but also the world around them."
Brittany Harris presents What Men Need to Know About Becoming Nannies posted at NannyPro.com, saying, "If you’re a man looking for work as a nanny — well, you’ll definitely be in a unique situation. Nannies are typically women, and many nannies and employers in the industry are so accustomed to that stereotype that it can be a little off-putting to see a man go out for the job."
Arianna Lee presents 24 Blogs with the Best Strategies for Connecting with Your Kids posted at Part Time Nanny, saying, "When you’re juggling work, home, your spouse and the busy schedules of multiple kids, finding a few minutes for yourself, never mind with each child, can be a real challenge. But connecting with your kids is integral to building a strong relationship with them, and it doesn’t take much to experience a moment of meaningful connection"
Kaitlyn Johnson presents 5 Signs Your Newborn is Overstimulated posted at Newborn Care, saying, "Bringing a brand new baby home from the hospital is definitely a learning experience, especially if you’re a first-time parent. Learning to read the cues of a newborn isn’t always easy, and it’s a skill that usually comes with practice. Because babies come into the world with a nervous system that’s not yet mature, they’re not able to regulate the way they perceive outside stimuli in the same way as older children and adults."
David Thompsonn presents 5 Tips for Preventing Head Lice in Kids posted at Backup Care, saying, "The news of a head lice outbreak at school is one of the most common, albeit most upsetting, aspects of raising children. Some schools seem to have an outbreak every year, and transmission is common among kids who come into close contact with one another through play and socialization."

Kaitlyn Johnson presents 5 Things to Consider When Choosing a Baby Journal posted at Newborn Care, saying, "The first few years of your baby’s life are typically the most heavily documented, which is why baby journals have remained a perennial favorite for new parents. Recording each milestone along the way not only allows you to track the rate at which your child is reaching them, but also provides you with a wonderful piece of memorabilia when your child is no longer small. The world is a rapidly changing place, however, which means that the old-fashioned baby books of years gone by are no longer the only option for new parents with a penchant for journaling."
Denise Thompson presents 6 Tips for Single Dads With Adolescent Daughters posted at Find A Babysitter, saying, "The teenage years can be tumultuous and overwhelming for girls, and difficult for their parents as well. A single father of a teenage daughter may feel overwhelmed and under-skilled for the task of parenting alone."
Jeff Moore presents 8 Fun and Inexpensive Craft Projects for the Family posted at Babysitting Jobs, saying, "Crafting can be an inexpensive way to enjoy time with the whole family and develop essential skills in children. Some of the best crafts can be done for just a couple dollars simply by recycling things you already own or keeping an eye out at dollar stores, thrift stores and other spots where cheap items can be purchased."
Jessica S presents A Loss | The Write Shadow posted at The Write Shadow, saying, "My husband’s family thinks I was posting that about everything that is currently going on between them and my husband. I have no idea how to rectify the situation."
Brittany Hall presents 7 Tough Questions Parents Should Ask Nannies posted at Nanny Interview Questions, saying, "Hiring the right nanny for your family means doing your homework. It means checking references, comparing work histories and conducting multiple interviews. But getting to the heart of the matter means asking the kinds of tough questions that force someone applying for a nanny job to give honest, thorough, revealing answers."

Arianna Lee presents What to Do if You Get a Flat Tire with the Kids in the Car posted at Part Time Nanny, saying, "There’s never a convenient time for a flat tire, but the situation seems even more stressful when you have a car full of children. Managing this particularly difficult situation doesn’t have to be impossible, though. There are a few things you can do to lessen the strain on both you and the little ones in tow while you’re handling this common, minor crisis."
Kaitlyn Johnson presents 9 Tips for Helping Your Kids Adjust to a New Baby posted at Newborn Care, saying, "Getting ready for a second child (or third, or more) means going back into high-gear prep mode: stocking up on baby clothes, setting up a nursery, going through all the hospital visits, etc. In all that activity, it can be surprisingly easy to overlook one of the most important parts of your life: your other children. Whether you’ve only got one other child at home or you’re juggling two or more children, it takes some real work and planning to help an older sibling adjust to a new baby."
Carter White presents 6 Ways to Turn Your Kids Into Avid Readers posted at Babysitting, saying, "All parents want their children to be a good readers, but it can be tough to know exactly how to make it happen. Independent reading can significantly help when it comes to academic success, but actually getting your kid to read can be a challenge."
Jessica Clark presents 18 of the Best Blogs for Helping Kids Find Their Passion posted at Kenney Myers, saying, "There has been much talk about helping kids find their passion so that they can live a full life, but how do you help your kids find that spark? As a parent you can open the door to experiences and opportunities."
Tim Hall presents 25 Blogs with Fun Back-to-School Crafts for the Kids posted at Summer Nanny Jobs, saying, "With the school year starting it’s time to focus on ways to make the new school year fun.

David Thompsonn presents 21 Blogs with Inspirational Ways to Teach Your Kids to Pay it Forward posted at Backup Care, saying, "The phrase “pay it forward” is one that is used when a person does something nice for another person after they themselves have received a random act of kindness."
Jim Wilson presents 6 Alternatives to a Traditional First Birthday Cake | Babysitters posted at Babysitters, saying, "A child diving into her first birthday cake is an iconic childhood image, but it’s also one that many of today’s parents would rather avoid. The introduction of sugars, processed foods and chemical additives is a situation that many parents would like to put off for as long as possible, but the idea of depriving their child of a first birthday cake seems unreasonably cruel."

Cherry Liu presents 10 Rules for First Time Housesitters posted at House Sitting Jobs, saying, "Housesitting can be a financially feasible way of experiencing a new city while helping someone in need, or a way to provide someone you know with assistance while they’re traveling. It can also be a difficult situation if you don’t know what to expect and aren’t adhering to some basic rules of conduct."

Olivia Lewiss presents 18 of the Best Blogs with Makeup Tips for the Busy Mom posted at Hire a Nanny, saying, "Makeup has the power to make a woman feel better about herself, even on days she feels her worst, and the old saying about when you look good you feel good holds some merit. Busy moms, however, can barely find the time to savor a cup of coffee in the morning, much less put any makeup on."
Daniel Long presents 15 Blogs with Relaxation Tips for Busy Moms | Hire a Nanny posted at hireananny.com, saying, "Moms are busy from sun up to sun down. From the time you wake up, you’re usually crossing one thing or another off your to-do list, waking up the kids and getting them fed and off to school. It doesn’t stop there, though. Once the kids are gone you have limited time to accomplish the things you need to, whether it’s work, errands or both."
