Night Night, Sleep Tight

Night Night, Sleep Tight

Bed time can be a hassle sometimes. We are still going strong from the day’s activities. When it’s time to settle down, sometimes a routine can help. Once you get in the habit, it can help the body trigger signals that it’s time to wind down and prepare to go to sleep.

I found an interesting article over on Mommy Miracles A Blog by Laura O’Rourke and it includes a free printable chart.

Until next time…

I Wanna Pet!

Have a pet can be really cool! They can be a friend, a playmate, someone to comfort you. BUT they are also an awesome responsibility.  Every pet has some up keep. If you are thinking about adding a new member to your family, take time to think about what you can do to take care of them properly.

Here’s a great list with things to consider:   http://www.2ndchance.info/choospet.htm

Animal Plant has a great Pet Picker Quiz: http://www.animalplanet.com/pets/pet-picker-quiz/

I hope this will help you in deciding what pet will fit you and your family best.

Me? I like my Pet Rock.  😀

Until next time…

Have fun reading!
