Two Simple Ways to Be a Happier Parent

babyblogaddict — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 00:18:08 +0000

When Christine Carter became a parent, she realized that her work as a sociologist who studies happiness gave her a head start on being a good and happy parent. Rather than trying to solve problems in her family, she wanted to prevent them. That got her wondering what makes for happy families and children. The result of that questioning is Raising Happiness (Ballantine Books).

She said to start off by asking two questions about your life as a parent:

1. When are you happiest with your kids?

2. What part of the normal day with your family routinely causes suffering?

Then make sure your day is structured so that you get routine, habitual happiness and so that you’re eliminating habitual pain.

About 1.5 million Graco strollers sold at Wal-Mart, Target and other major retailers are being recalled after some children’s fingertips were amputated by hinges on the products.

The recall by Graco Children’s Products Inc. includes certain model numbers of its Passage, Alano and Spree Strollers and Travel Systems.

Five children had their fingertips severed and two children received cuts on their fingertips.

The strollers were made in China by Graco and sold at AAFES, Burlington Coat Factory, Babies R Us, Toys R Us, Kmart, Fred Meyer, Meijer, Navy Exchange, Sears, Target, Wal-Mart and other retailers nationwide from

October 2004 to December 2009.

Child’s Nativity Set

Our four-year-old son loves his soft nativity set that he got as a baby. But, I think he’s ready for something a little sturdier this year, since he loves to role play and wants to stand up all the characters. I’ve seen this Fisher Price Little People Nativity Set before and think it would be perfect for him. Plus, Toys R Us is offering FREE shipping for a limited time. I love online shopping, especially when free shipping is involved.

My Pregnancy Journal: “Not Too Much Longer”

Week 36

My Pregnancy Journal

Over the past few days, I’ve been getting a lot of those, “Not too much longer” comments. I feel funny telling people that I still have 4 weeks left (really 3 1/2 since I have a scheduled repeat c-section). One lady said she had just asked another girl my size yesterday and the girl only had 2 days left! How do you react to that?!!!

My husband said that I should just start saying, “What are you talking about? I’m only halfway there.” Now that would probably shut them up pretty quickly. I might try the multiples angle too. Well, I do have four in there. It’s quads. But I’m kind of scared to even joke about that

I’m really not sure if I’ll make it another three weeks, so I really need to pack my bag in advance this time…and soon, just in case.

We recently posted about Healthy, Fun Lunches here on BBA. I’m always searching for creative ways to feed a kid, since I have a picky preschooler who is more of a grazer than a sit-down-and-eat-a-meal kind of child.

Here’s another great post that my friend Leslie came across while blog hopping. It’s called Kid Won’t Eat? This Works for Me! from Cooking on Clover Lane. She offers lots of other great recipes with beautiful pictures to accompany them.

babyblogaddict — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 21:16:06 +0000

TV’s biggest reality family just got a little bigger.

Joshua and Anna Duggar – from TLC’s “18 Kids and Counting” — welcomed daughter Mackynzie Renee Duggar on Thursday, according to People.

The newest Duggar was born at Joshua and Anna’s home, with a midwife and doula assisting in the birth. Although she is the first child for the young couple, both 21, she certainly has a lot of family who were anxious to meet her, with 17 aunts and uncles in the Duggar clan.

In fact, the brood is about to grown again in 2010, as Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are expecting their 19th child in the spring.
