Preparing Your Children For Daylight Saving Time

I am feeling on the fence about the upcoming weekend. Love weekends. But compared to prior years, this one weekend out of the 52 of them is different. First off, we are turning the clocks back an hour. Great, great news. That equals to more quality time with the two loves of my life. But here's the part that troubles me a bit. My son. I'm a little concerned about the end results for him. How he will adapt and cope with daylight saving time. That's what creates the downfall of this weekend. But im coming prepared. With the bit of information I have collected, not just for me but for you as well, I should survive. Hopefully.

Halloween Safety Tips

Halloween 2012 might be your very first time celebrating this spooky holiday with your kiddos. On the other hand, some of you might have stopped counting a long time ago how many times you've trick or treated with your youngsters. Either way, one thing is for certain for all of you, safety cannot be forgotten. It is crucial for all parents to not only explain the safety rules to their children, but to also ensure both themselves and their children apply them. As a matter of fact, Halloween can be an extremely exciting time for children and with the distraction of candy and costumes, safety rules aren't always on their mind. Research shows that distractions can increase a child's chances of being struck by a car. So let's make sure we all have a fun, and safe Halloween by following these simple safety tips for everyone!

Dreamfarm Oni Knife Product Review

I won't lie, I love cooking and I love baking. I love experimenting with food and adore my kitchen, that is where I feel most in my element. I picked up the cooking bug when I was in my late teens. I slowly got introduced to many dishes, foods, and flavours that I slowly learned to love and appreciate. I can say in all honesty that I am proud of all the different cooking techniques I have learned over the years and how much I have grown as a "cook". I have been able to gain enough confidence and creativeness to play around with recipes and put together my own as well as know-how in using cooking tools to their maximum potential. That being said, any kitchen tool that can make my life easier and more enjoyable, I'm all on it! One day, a few weeks ago, I came across a company called Dreamfarm. Their ingenuity blew me away. Their designs and product purposes puts them in a league of their own.
