- Fun Ideas For An All-Adult Party!
  November 27, 2020If you’re going to be having a party, then you may want to make sure that you’re getting the most out of it. The most important thing is that everyone is going to be able to enjoy themselves, and that’s why you’ve got to think long and hard about some ideas to make your party great. In this article, we’re going to be taking a look at what some of these ideas are, so keep reading if you would like to find out more. Go Do Something Childish The first thing that we are going to suggest is that you go and do something childish. It’s hard being an adult, and it’s exhausting. It’s for this reason that sometimes we just want to take a step back and do something fun, maybe even a little bit childish. For example, you could all dress up as characters from a film or TV show and have a fancy dress party. Or, you could head out and go bowling, go to a laser quest center, or whatever else you think you might enjoy. The point is for it to be as fun as possible, so something that you used to enjoy when you were a child might be a good idea. Think about the things that you used to love to do, and then choose one for your party. Hire A Bar Another thing that we are going to suggest is that you hire a bar. Not everyone drinks alcohol, it’s true, but for those who do, this is going to make the party that little bit better. A company like Party Pony Trailers LLC may be able to help you out here as they have mobile bars! This means that if you want the party to be at your home, but you also want a bar, then something like this is the perfect solution! Or, you could simply just have alcohol on the table and allow everyone to mix their own drinks. At least you can be sure they’re going to like what they make for themselves! Game Night Finally, have you thought about having a game night? Everyone can get involved, and it can be a super fun idea. Choose a bunch of different games that everyone can play together, and then let the fun begin. Ensure that all the games you’ve got are suitable for the amount of players that you are going to have so that nobody ends up left out. Get some snacks, a few drinks, and this could be the perfect night in for you and your friends. It might not be the same as having an actual party, but it’s just as fun for a small gathering! We hope that you have found this article helpful and now know some of the fun ideas that we’ve got for an all-adult party. These ideas don’t make up an extensive list, so there are plenty more things that you can do if you would like to. Hopefully, you have a great time, and so does everyone else involved. ...

- Practical Tips To Help You Prepare For Your Bundle Of Joy
  November 16, 2020Are you expecting a precious little baby? Congratulations! Pregnancy is always a special moment that certainly changes you in more ways than one. Now, what next? Many questions race through every expectant mother’s mind when it is their first pregnancy, which is normal. However, this period of anticipation is an excellent time to receive (and follow) clear medical guidance from your doctor. Although each pregnancy experience may differ from mother to mother, there are some things you should know to be fully prepared for the journey ahead. So, are you wondering what your next step is after finding out that you’re pregnant? Did you just find out that your partner is pregnant? Here are a few things you should know. Your due date Only a handful of women ever deliver their babies on the precise due date given by the doctor! But once it’s assigned, your due date on paper always remains the same – unless your ultrasound scan reveals a large discrepancy with the assigned due date. Beyond knowing your due date, you should also learn as many facts as possible about your condition. Fortunately, there are many websites and blogs that you can rely on for information like pregnancy belly shape and size guide, as well as specific symptoms you can expect to experience. However, you need to ensure that you visit recommended websites and blogs from other mums for all your research to get the right information. Not everything will go according to plan One thing many expecting moms must realize is that things may not always go according to plan. You may spend a lot of time planning every step of the process, considering every detail, but childbirth is more than enough to send your plans flying through the window. Every expecting mother needs to have a well-prepared birth plan in place. However, do not obsess about perfecting every detail, as that can be enough to put you under a lot of stress, especially when things do not go your way. Make room for unexpected circumstances, and accept that things will get a little crazy sometimes. The great thing about allowing for flexibility in your plan is that it will make you more open to alternative ideas, and thus, more flexible to handle each surprising turn of events. Self-care is essential Ensuring that you take excellent care of yourself isn’t only about you but also about your unborn child. It helps to promote your well-being and that of your child at the same time. Proper self-care means that you only consume the right food, stay away from the ones that can be harmful to your child, and exercise as much as you possibly can. Self-care goes beyond making you feel good; it also helps you maintain a sense of self-worth, which is essential whenever you feel too stressed or tired to go through another day. Some expecting mothers have said that they lost their sense of self-worth during pregnancy and let their health and bodies go. Taking good care of yourself helps you to remain healthy, both mentally and physically. Expect to do nothing sometimes There will be times when you cannot bring yourself to do anything around the house, especially after giving birth. Childbirth is one of the most challenging things to do, even when you have previous experience. Therefore, your body needs to get all the time it needs to recover. During this period especially, expect to do nothing. Also, during the latter stages of your pregnancy, you may be in the right condition to complete as many daily activities as you used to. That is why it is essential to have as much care and support as you can from your partner, family members, and loved ones. Bonding with your baby may take time There’s nothing like a mother’s bond with her unborn baby – an unexplainable feeling of joy that takes over most mothers during the months of pregnancy. Although mothers bond with their little angels from day one, on the other hand, not every new mother will feel that jolt of excitement. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that; it may take some new mothers weeks or even months after delivery to start building that mother-child bond, and different reasons may account for this. The most important thing is to make sure that you do not allow yourself to be stung by guilt if this happens to you. Just commit yourself to your little angel, shower, then with all the love you can muster, give the process some time. You may need to eat more than you did before Every breastfeeding mother needs 500 additional calories every day. When you start bottle-feeding your child, you should give your body enough healthy food to recover. Unfortunately, when you are busy taking care of your little one, it is quite easy to lose track of your own needs and forget to eat regularly. Therefore, it is best to stock up on some healthy snacks that you can munch on with one hand while your other hand is busy. Doing this will keep you from starving yourself without realizing it, as it is not suitable for your health or baby. You should also expect your newborn to have quite an appetite, especially when you’re breastfeeding them. You might only require a small amount of regular bottle-feeding. However, breastfed babies will need to eat a lot more often. So, don’t be tempted to make a breastfeeding timetable; let your baby alert you. Pregnancy tests your relationship It is vital to get as much assistance as you can from trusted friends, family, and loved ones, especially during the first couple of months after giving birth. That is because raising a child is one of the most challenging jobs (albeit one of the most rewarding), even when you are fortunate enough to have supportive spouses or partners. If you have a supportive partner beside you throughout the process, tension may still arise between you two. Your partnership will be tested during your time of expectancy, but the most important thing is to ensure that you do not allow such times to impact your relationship negatively.... Read more...

- Saving The Memory Of A Lost Loved OneNovember 25, 20204th of July / Family Activities & Events / Parenting TipsThis year has made many of us really reevaluate what is important in life. After almost a year of not being able to spend time with the ones we love, it’s become more and more clear how important loved ones really are. But what happens when a loved one is lost? Dying is a natural part of life, and sadly we will all eventually have to say goodbye to the people closest to us as they find their final resting place. Today we hope to help you understand how to keep the memory of a loved one alive even after they are gone. Here are some of the best ways to allow the legacy of a loved one to go on long after they are back in the earth. Silly traditions One of the fun ways to honour the memory of a loved one and keep their memory living on is to adopt one of their little quirks or traditions. Everyone has small quirks and if you are able to carry this small action on within family life, it will keep a memory alive for longer. For example, if your loved one had the habit of breaking out into songs that describe what they are doing – you try and do this too! It’s not only a fun activity but it’s something that will make you feel closer to the ones you have lost. Decorate the grave When remembering a family member after they are gone, one simple way to do this in a physical way is to decorate the grave itself. Using cemetery grave markers and a gravestone is a wonderful thing, and you can also add photo frames, flowers, and more. Decorating the grave with special items and mementos is always a brilliant way to save the legacy of someone you love for years after. Invest in an urn If you haven’t decided to bury a loved one but instead have decided on cremation – it is a good idea to invest in a beautiful urn to hold the ashes of your loved one. You don’t even have the stop there – you can also consider investing in an urn ornament and plaque which will remind people every time they visit of the person you love. Create a t shirt cushion The worst feeling in the world is losing someone, and one of the hardest parts is knowing you never get to hold them again. This is why it is a great idea for you to create a cushion out of an old t shirt or jumper of your loved one that you can cuddle while you go to sleep as a beautiful reminder. It will make you feel as if you are closer to your loved one and will make you feel as if you are holding a little piece of them even after all this time. Ashes to jewellery In recent years many jewellery designers have found ways to make family ashes into stunning prices to keep with you at all times. When it comes to turning ashes into stunning jewellery to keep – you can have a necklace, bracelet or even a ring made with the ashes of the person you love. It will be a constant reminder of their importance in life and will allow you to carry a piece of them with you throughout your own life. Keep happy photographs It is incredibly important when you lose someone you love to keep a memory of their face alive. It is a sad fact that over time you are likely to forget small details of a loved one’s face, but hanging photos of them will allow you to keep their memory alive. There are so many companies who make custom prints, mugs, canvases and more so that you can keep a picture of your loved ones close by always. Write in a diary One of the fun ways to keep the memory of a loved one alive is actually to write about them in a diary. As you remember small anecdotes and things about a loved one who has passed – you can write these things in a diary and you can pass this down to your children to keep the memory alive. It is a sweet gesture and can be read out on the anniversary of their death or their birthday each year. Losing a loved one will never be easy however it is an amazing idea to keep memories through the years after they pass. We hope these ideas will help you move on from the loss and be happy....

- Shrimp Scampi Cheese Dip – Delicious!November 25, 2020Appetizers / Corner / RecipesThis Shrimp Scampi Cheese Dip made it’s debut on our Thanksgiving Menu last year, the family loved it so much it’s now one of our faves. We make it all the time for our Sunday night barbecues and even when we entertain. Our guests love it just as much as we do! It’s really simple to make and so yummy! We used crostini for dipping, we like the crunch, but you can use fresh baguettes or whatever you like. I’d avoid salted crackers though, the butter and cheeses have enough salt and dipping salted crackers may get too salty. If you’re looking for something different to add to your holiday meal this Scampi Dip fits the spot. But do keep extra ingredients on hand, you may have to make a second bowl when you have company! Ingredients: 8 oz. medium shrimp – peeled and roughly chopped 4 tbls. salted butter 1 tbls. minced garlic 1/2 cup white wine (if you prefer non-alcoholic you can substitute chicken broth for the wine) 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice 4 oz. cream cheese softened 1 cup sour cream 1/2 cup grated fresh parmasean cheese 1 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese Directions: 1. Melt butter in pan. 2. Saute garlic in butter until it turns slightly brown. 3. Add shrimp and saute until shrimp starts to turn pink. 4. Add wine. Stir well and continue cooking until shrimp is cooked. 5. Remove from heat and squeeze on lemon juice. Stir. 6. Stir in cream cheese, sour cream, parmasean, and 1 cup of the mozzarella. Reserve the 1/2 mozzarella for topping. Mix very well. 7. Pour into oven safe baking dish – you will be serving it in this dish. I ran out of pretty oven safe dishes so I ended up using an aluminum pie tin. 8. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella on top. 9. Bake in 375 degree oven for 20 minutes or until cheese melts and starts turning brown. 10. Serve warm with dipping bread or chips.
