Just sharing some photos from Sandy's recent field trip at Oceanpark. I loved the place even if it's too crowded for my taste. For the kids, they might get tired or bored because of the crowd. However, they will surely love the mermaid show and the almost magical appeal of the marine life.
To those who don't know yet, I am currently 3 months pregnant. This explains my lack of updates and why I am unbelievably stressed right now. If only I can have one of those cancun honeymoons that Karisma Hotels are known for. The massages on the beach, lying down on beach beds with retractable curtains for privacy, your choice of sumptuous dinners or as simple as watching the blue waves crash down on the white sandy beaches.
But even if I can't have a vacation now, there's no stopping me in daydreaming and wishing that someday I can experience one of the hotels in Karisma. I'm especially interested to see the Hidden Beach Resort at the Riviera Maya. It caters to nudists and is a secluded, adults-only property. Of course, I couldn't see myself baring it all which I'm sure already disqualifies me to an entrance. Still, I've never been an adults only hotel before and it could be really interesting.
Another hotel I'd like to try is the Azul Beach Resort. Since it caters to families, this is more the type that will benefit us. And just because it's a family-oriented resort doesn't mean it's not romantic. Aside from beach activities and amenities for kids, they offer dinner by candlelight by the beach for couples, luxurious massages, picnics, tequila tasting and non-motorized water sports.
Holidays are here again and so are Holiday Thank You Cards. With so many gifts we receive at this time of the year, it's just appropriate to send back a holiday thank you card for each and every present. Invitations-Shoppe specializes in several kinds of thank you cards so you might want to look at their site. For companies, business holiday thank you cards are definitely a must not only for Christmas gifts but for successful Christmas events your company will host.
Still on Baby Invitations for Baby Shower. I have three friends who are throwing a baby shower this November and December so we're scouting for the perfect company, in terms of unique design and affordability where we can have them printed. Having a baby is one of the most important things that can happen to a woman. We always try to celebrate the arrival in style and capture every moments as much as we can. From the invitations to decorations, photos to videos, even gift wrappers and small giveaways.
At Birth-Cards, you can get really cute baby shower invitations such as the one above. Just browsing through their designs at http://www.birth-cards.com makes me excited to celebrate the arrival of my friends' babies. You can also personalize the designs by adding a photo of the soon-to-be parents, change the font style and color. They offer instant preview of your personalized design before you order to be sure that there are no more corrections.
Get on her level. Either squat down to her level or pick her up so you can look her in the eye.
Be clear. State your message clearly and simply. Your child will zone out if you harp on topics too long.
Follow through - quickly. Don't make threats or promises you won't keep.
Reinforce your message - follow up your verbal statement with other kinds of messages. When you say "eat your lunch", show her you mean it by sitting on the table yourself or eating beside her.
Give warnings - before you try and take her away from a very enjoyable activity, let your kid know that you're leaving in a few minutes.
Realistic instructions .
Motivate.
Model good behavior.
