Many people think that pregnant women are all very fragile and they can’t do anything. In a way is a good feeling that everybody wants to take care of you but we are not as fragile as other people may think.
I’ve just read this great article about the importance of prenatal exercise and I really like it, as Heather Turgeon writes:
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that expecting moms exercise on most, if not all, days of the week, saying that it will reduce aches and pains, help you sleep, and may ward off gestational diabetes.
The most important advice is to take care of yourself and don’t get exhausted. You body and your baby will definitely tell you when to stop.

The other day I read an interesting article about stay at home dads. The article is written by Tom Anderson who used to be a Internet video advertising executive but he lost his job and now takes care of his twin daughters. It’s an amazing story and I would advise anybody to read it, I love this part:
If this were the start of a new job, no problem. Day One: Meet the staff, attend a few meetings, lunch with the boss, work on a 30-day strategic plan, meet more staff, go home and sleep well, repeat all week. In the corporate world, you are given several weeks to deliver a product; in retail, you shadow a veteran employee in the field. As a stay-at-home dad — SAHD, an acronym that makes perfect sense now — the new customers are on the living room floor simultaneously screaming, filling their pants with last night’s sweet potato puree, pulling sharp objects from a side table, and trying to chew a power cord. At which point I want to wake up.

You can make wholesome baby food from pumpkins. But which pumpkin to choose? WholesomeBabyFood.com will help moms to choose the best:
It is very important that you choose the right pumpkin for food dishes. While it is ok to use a “jack-o-lantern” pumpkin, meaning you and your family should suffer no illness from this type of pumpkin, it is preferable to use a “sugar” or “pie” pumpkin.
Why Sugar or Pie Pumpkins are Best for Cooking:
- Sugar/Pie pumpkins they are less stringy than the larger jack-o-lantern pumpkins.
- Sugar/Pie pumpkins are less fibrous than larger pumpkins.
- Sugar/Pie pumpkins are smaller and easier to handle.
- Sugar/Pie pumpkins are actually more sweet and tasty than their larger counterparts!
- Sugar/Pie pumpkins are easier to roast and roast faster.
- Sugar/Pie pumpkins make better pumpkin butter and they make super baked pumpkin slices for snacks!
You can find some amazing pumpkin recipe on the site. Halloween may be over but pumpkins are perfect to eat anytime.

There are couple of foods that better to avoid when you have a baby or a toddler. Our kids won’t need processed and unhealthy food. I’ve just came across an interesting article about it. Believe me, it’s quite shocking how much calories and fat a kid’s meal can contain.
If you look at the calories per serving and compare them to the calories kids need to consume, some of these dishes are actually worse than the adult-sized portions. In fact, you might be shocked by the biggest offender on the list.

There are many photo contests for babies. I’m sure you can name a couple of them. They are very popular among moms because everybody wants to show their babies’ pictures to the world.
Let’s see what are they all about:
- You have to take a high-quality photos of your baby because the judges will check them. The better the quality the better chance you’ll have to win the the contest.
- There are big modelling agencies who run these contests and they will use the pictures for their advertising. If you’re lucky your baby’s pictures will appear on different products like diaper, kids clothes, toys, baby food and many more.
- When you participate in a baby photo contest you’ll have the option to accept emails and mails from these big brand companies. I know you’re afraid of junk email but they will send you free samples as well – ie. free baby food or free diapers because these companies want a long term relationship with you. They know how old your baby is and they can send you certain free samples that will match your baby’s age.
- Everybody wins in this situation: the big companies make money from participants and you have the chance to win cute prizes and much more.
- Always read the small print because some advertising agencies may have the intellectual rights of the winning photos which also means that you can win the prize but the agency get the modelling revenue. Protect your kid’s right – it’s worth it.
- Check the psychological effects of modelling on your baby’s mental and emotional health. It’s also really important.
