5 Steps to a Stress Free Monday Morning

5 Steps to a Stress Free Monday Morning

5 steps to help you achieve delicate Monday morning balance. Pack your child's lunch the night before and prepare at least 5 outfits for each member of the family over the weekend. Set your alarm clock 10-15 minutes earlier to allow yourself more time in the morning. Set a routine for you and your family and stick with it. Divide your morning into phases.

Ask your family to pitch in and help. Try a more organized approach to your Monday mornings and you will find that they turn out to be a lot smoother and less stressful.

Monday morning has arrived (again). You look at the kitchen clock and gulp a cup of coffee while attempting to put on your clothes, realizing that you only have 5 minutes to get your 5-year-old dressed and ready for school, not to mention pack her lunch. Not soon enough do you recall that your easy-going boss (not!) had warned you the previous Thursday for being late for the third day in a row.

Does this sound all-too-familiar? Nobody said being a working mom was going to be easy, but here are five tips to help you strike that delicate Monday morning balance:

First and foremost, plan ahead of time. Pack your child's lunch the night before if necessary. Also, give your child a bath the night before. Do your laundry and ironing on the weekend so that everything is hung and ready to go; prepare at least 5 outfits for each member of the family over the weekend and enlist the help of your husband and children.

Set your alarm clock 10-15 minutes earlier in the morning to give yourself more time. To compensate for the time difference, go to bed 10-15 minutes earlier if necessary. Get up before your children to shower and dress.

 Keep breakfast simple and nutritious. If you don't have time for breakfast, keep bananas (and other easy-to-eat fruit) and vitamin-fortified cereal bars on hand and ready to grab and go.

Establish and stick to a routine for you and your family. It's a fact that our bodies crave routine. Every night, go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time. Maintaining a schedule will make it easier to manage the Monday morning balancing act.

Break up your morning into phases. For example, phase 1: Eat Breakfast, phase 2: Dress, and so on. Set the phases at 15-30 minute intervals (phasing increments can vary, depending on the overall time you give yourself). Trying to do everything at once will only result in chaos and confusion. Help your family stay in the appropriate phase by asking them to pitch in and help. To keep things running smoothly, encourage your family to stick to the morning phases.

Being prepared is the key to achieving any balance, especially that Monday morning balance. If you take a more organized approach to your Monday mornings, you will find that they run much more smoothly and are less stressful for everyone.

5 Simple Ways Connect With Your Husband

 5 Simple Ways Connect With Your Husband

Have you ever rolled over in the middle of the night and not recognized the man lying next to you? I'm not talking about that time in college; I'm talking about now. After many years of marriage, you may begin to feel as if your husband is a stranger to you. Or do you think he's getting stranger? In any case, here are 5 easy ways to stay in touch with your husband.

1. Prepare a meal together.

It doesn't matter if it's breakfast or dinner, as long as you're spending time together. Why not get up early on Sunday morning and prepare a big old-fashioned Sunday breakfast for you and the kids? Or how about leaving the kids with a sitter and having a nice romantic dinner together?

You will save money by preparing the meal at home rather than eating out. Furthermore, you will not have to get "all dolled up" (unless you want to). Most importantly, you'll be relying on teamwork, which is the most important aspect of any marriage.

2. Take on a project and get your hands dirty!

Take on a large and messy task from your to-do list, such as cleaning out the garage, pulling up shrubs in the yard, or organizing the attic. Make an afternoon of it and do it with your friends! You'll both feel a great sense of accomplishment that the job is finally finished, and it'll feel even better to know that you accomplished it by working as a team.

Why not take a bath for two now that you've worked up a sweat?

3. Spend an afternoon reminiscing and looking through old photos.

Discuss the activities you used to do when you first started dating and make a plan to resume them. You may not be able to do them all, but try to do as many as you can, whether it's going for long walks, attending concerts, or making out at the movies.

4. Take the day off!

Plan a day when you can both stay home from work and spend the entire day at home - alone, together, doing nothing! All day in bed, cuddling and watching movies. Make sure the phone's ringer is turned off.

5. Make an effort to stay in touch with your husband on a daily basis.

Listen, inquire, and become his partner in all aspects of your life. Making it a point to ask him, "How was your day, Honey?" every day when he gets home and listening to his response can make all the difference.

The most important thing to remember is that you are not alone in your marriage. If you're not feeling as close to your husband as you once did, express your concerns to him. Tell him how you feel about it, how it makes you feel, and that you want to work on it.

Your husband is likely to be clueless at first, but once he realizes you're genuinely concerned, he'll jump right in and make more of an effort. Best wishes!

5 Easy Ways to Prepare Your Family Pets for a Disaster

5 Easy Ways to Prepare Your Family Pets for a Disaster

Disasters can strike at any time and from any location. Because the public usually does not get much notice before a disaster strikes, you must be prepared in advance and know what to do quickly if an emergency occurs.

Here are five simple steps you can take to prepare your pets and reduce the stress and worry for your entire family.

#1: Purchase a Pet Emergency Supplies Kit.

Make it easily accessible and ensure that it includes at least the following items:

Pet first aid kit for your pet's emergency medical needs. If your pets require medication, keep extra supplies on hand.

3-day ration of food and water (in a watertight container).

Collars with ID tags should have current and up-to-date information. As collars become lost, you may want to consider microchipping for permanent identification.

Harness and leash for safety.

Items for sanitation.

Rescue Pet Decals to alert rescue teams that your pets are inside the house and need to be saved.

If you must evacuate, bring comfort toys and blankets for your pets.

#2. Bring a photo of your pets in case you become separated.

It will make it easier for rescue workers to identify and reunite you with your pets.

#3. Familiarize your pets with their carriers or crates.

Pets usually associate them with vet visits and become stressed when they see them for the first time. Allow your pets to play in the carrier or provide them with treats to ease the transition when the time comes.

#4. Know where your pets hide inside and outside the house.

If you get the first warning of a disaster, consider putting them all in one room in case you need to leave quickly.

#5: Prepare a Family Emergency Plan:

Plan your getaway: how you'll pack your pets, where you'll go.

In an emergency, check with nearby shelters, veterinary hospitals, and hotels to see if they will accept your pets.

Create a pet care buddy system and arrange for friends or extended family to take in your pets if you are forced to evacuate in a shelter that does not allow pets due to health concerns. Instruct your caregivers on where to find the emergency supplies kit and anything else you might need.

Learn about the various disasters that could occur in your area. You may have to wait longer at home before receiving an order to evacuate, so stock up on food and water.

If you must evacuate, try to bring your pets with you.

5 Childhood Films You Should Show Your Children

 5 Childhood Films You Should Show Your Children

These five childhood films should be in every family's collection. Mrs. Poppins, Annie, The Magic of Music, The Robinson Family of Switzerland and The Parenting Pitfall are all must-sees for kids. Share your memories and sing the songs you loved as a kid.

New movies are fantastic! It's so much fun standing in line at the movies, inhaling the buttery popcorn smell and getting giddy with excitement when a new movie is released.

My children love watching the latest and greatest movies, but I just grin when I hear my children singing the songs I used to sing as a kid - "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" or "Tomorrow". To my ears, hearing their little off-key renditions is the best music.

Have you shown your children the movies you liked when you were younger?

Robinson Family of Switzerland (1960)

The Robinsons become shipwrecked near an island. They construct a magnificent tree house through hard work and cooperation. They face many challenges, including wild animals, bad weather, and pirates, but their ingenuity gets them through. Excellent family values!

The Parenting Pitfall (1961)

Twin daughters are raised with only one parent knowing about the other. They unexpectedly run into each other at summer camp, put two and two together, and devise a plan to reunite their parents. This film is just plain entertaining.

Mrs. Poppins (1964)

Mr. and Mrs. Banks are both preoccupied with their own interests to the detriment of their children, Jane and Michael. When Mary Poppins, the magical nanny, enters their lives, she brings the family closer together. Your children will be captivated by the penguin scene, the chimney sweep dance, and the magic.

The Magic of Music (1965)

The hills are resonating with music. After your kids watch this, your house will be filled with the sound of music.

Annie (1982) (1982)

Annie, how we adore her! The music, the dancing, Mr. Warbucks' wealth, and a happy ending. That can't get any better than that!

These five films should be in every family's collection. Share your memories and sing the songs. It's fine if you sound a little off-key. I'm not going to tell.

Your third anniversary is approaching, and your mind is racing as you consider various gift options, such as a new pair of shoes, a tie, flowers, or jewelry.

As people age, their siblings' top priority is to help them with home care in their senior years. Safer is preferable to sorry. The fact remains that you are giving a total stranger custody of a loved one. Therefore, it would be worthwhile to invest the money in background checks for applicants.

What Is Home Care, First?

Home care services are those that are not medically related.It aids people, primarily the elderly, in leading a healthy lifestyle every day. The elderly no longer need to go to a hospice or home for the elderly in order to receive care, which is one of the main reasons home care services gained popularity. 

They can just stay in their cozy homes and receive services there. Home chores, including housecleaning, grocery shopping, dishwashing, opening, and moving large objects, become more difficult as people age. Additionally, doing daily hygiene tasks like bathing, dressing, and even rising from a chair or the stairs could be challenging. As a result of those home care service providers, there are now individuals trained and supervised by organizations to perform those types of services. Home care providers should typically be available to carry out their duties around the clock. Home care providers can be hired on an as-needed, hourly, live-in, or shift basis.

2. Home Care Types:

Homemaker

Interim Care

3. Tips for Selection:

Regarding money

If cost is a concern, home service agencies are significantly more expensive than individual providers. However, the benefit of an agency-based is that they have received professional training and education for the position. No one gives this assurance unless they can demonstrate relevant documentation of their professional training as a home care provider.

Easy to handle

Agency-based home care providers engage with clients in a much more organized and methodical manner. Payment is handled properly, and an agency can provide a replacement in the event that the provider is ill. Additionally, if an issue arises with the service provider, you can complain to an organization; however, if a problem arises with an individual home care provider, there is no one else to turn to. 

Here are some steps to take to ensure that your loved one will be safe and receive quality care in the event that you decide to go with an independent provider.

- Establish clear expectations.

- Get to know the candidate; 

- Conduct a thorough interview. 

- Clearly state your expectations.

Mom of a Pushy Deaf Child

 Mom of a Pushy Deaf Child

Mom of a Pushy Deaf Child

I didn't fully understand the significance of Mother's second response until much later. However, I was aware of her affection for me. I frequently disliked the seating restriction, but I was never seen sitting at a front desk.

Some things are beyond our control as individuals who were born on this planet. In that scenario, our own birth abnormalities are incorporated. I do not subscribe to the notion that, before we are even born on earth, we choose the challenges we must confront and overcome in this life. It was not something I chose to be born deaf.

Whatever the case, I was born with a 70% hearing loss in both ears. My mother quickly realized I had a hearing impairment. She was also deaf from birth. My mother made the decision that her son would not conceal his disability, as she had been permitted to do.

Mom grew up in a large family. Her clothes were hand-me-downs because most of her sisters were older than she was. She was poor, virtually deaf, and had sat in the back of the class to avoid drawing attention to herself and her perceived shortcomings. Mother would always respond, "I don't know," when a teacher would ask her a question. The other response would have been far more embarrassing; I didn't hear, as she later informed me.

I would never be permitted to make such a foolish choice. Every year on the first day of grammar school, my mother led me in front of the instructors and sternly warned them, "This son cannot hear." I don't want him moved about the room; I want him at the front desk!

I detested it, as any other kid would. Why do you have to make such a big deal out of this? I questioned her. I reaffirmed, "I hear okay."

"Of course you do," she retorted. "Because I love you, I want you to pay attention to what your teachers are saying and not struggle with proper word formation like I did.

I didn't fully understand the significance of Mother's second response until much later. However, I was aware of her affection for me. I frequently disliked the seating restriction, but I was never seen sitting at a front desk.

My "Pushy Mother's Intervention" ensured that I was not sidetracked by classroom discussions that were not related to the lesson plan. Nothing I did could go unnoticed because the teachers would always find me. And because I "heard" them, I was able to learn how to pronounce most words correctly. Mother had spent countless hours as a child looking up words she thought she'd need in a dictionary, paying close attention to pronunciation.As a result, her vocabulary was outstanding and her voice was crystal clear. I wasn't given that task in elementary school because I wouldn't have accepted it on my own.

I didn't learn to make poor seating decisions until I was in high school. I never even considered that the difficulty of my struggles might have something to do with the fact that I frequently misunderstood assignments or failed to pay attention to what instructors truly said.

Later, I saw what would have happened to me if my "Pushy Mom" hadn't been there. The same kind of hearing loss that I was born with was passed down to a cousin. His mother didn't bother to press the matter too hard. He was treated as a student with a learning disability and pushed through school. It makes sense because he spoke in a retarded manner.

As an adult, I used to sell hearing aids. I compared my cousin's hearing, and it was almost exactly like mine. I didn't fully understand and appreciate my mother's beautiful gift to me by being "pushy" until after that.

Consider becoming a "pushy parent" if your child struggles with hearing, even just for this one issue. While he or she is too little to understand it, leveling the playing field is one thing you can do for your child on this earth.

Flushing Season Brings Rust and Iron Stains

Even though it isn't a holiday season, it nonetheless occurs every spring and fall.

It's flushing season when towns and cities flush their water mains to help clear out silt that has built up in the pipes. When you notice city workers turning on fire hydrants throughout the city, flushing season has arrived.

Flushing season presents a challenge since some minerals and silt might enter your home's water supply. While not harmful, this might cause some unsightly, rusty stains in toilet bowls, sinks, and particularly on your laundry.

At that point, the challenge becomes finding a cleaner that will safely remove the stains. After all, the flushing season will return the following year.

Rust and iron stains in sinks, basins, and toilet bowls are difficult to remove with typical household cleaners. The widely used oxy-based laundry additives are not very effective at removing spots and stains that are orange in color, and bleach tends to soften the stain but leave behind what cannot be removed.

In contrast to bleaches and acids, reducing agents are used in the formulation of the most efficient treatments for rust and mineral stains. One product, in particular, is a reducing agent with a unique recipe called Super Iron Out. The majority of mass merchandisers, grocers, and home improvement retailers carry it.

Reducing substances alters the chemical composition of iron and rust, turning it into a clear solution that can be easily rinsed away. They are secure and may be applied to anything, including kitchen sinks and toilet bowls. They can also be added to washing machines, dishwashers, and water softeners without risk. They will combat the rust and aid in avoiding new stains.

Iron and rust stains on clothing can be removed with Super Iron Out just as effectively. It safely removes rust stains from all washable materials when used as an addition to washing detergent.
