First Aid Kits

Update your first aid kits. Do it TODAY.

I attended a teen youth group sleepover this weekend. Inevitably one of the kids got hurt. The owners of the home brought out their first aid kit - after they found it. The products were terribly outdated. I suppose that they had simply overlooked the need for such a kit because their kids were much older, but even teenagers get hurt sometimes.

There are several pre-assembled kits on the market that aren't too terribly expensive. However, if you want to build your own first aid kit, the Red Cross has an article that can be quite useful. Check it out.

Diaper Bags

One of the biggest concepts to learn for new parents is the art of packing a diaper bag. In an effort to make this task a bit easier, I wrote an article about an article to take the mystery out of the job. If you have a new baby on the way, or have a friend with a new baby on the way, then check out my article about packing a diaper bag.

(I can't reprint the article here due to publishing rights.)

Also, if you have any tips for packing a diaper bag - leave me a comment.

Yet Another Icon

What is going on today? Yet another American Icon has left us. Just a few short hours ago, Michael Jackson passed away from a heart attack.

Say what you will about his eccentric lifestyle, the man had talent. His music spanned the ages and still rings in our ears.

The shocking news is quite a jolt to those who grew up with him and his amazing music.

With A Saddened Heart

I want to send a bit of sympathy out to the family and friends of Farrah Fawcett.

Quoted from this article:

LOS ANGELES – Farrah Fawcett, the "Charlie's Angels" star whose feathered blond hair and dazzling smile made her one of the biggest sex symbols of the 1970s, died Thursday after battling cancer. She was 62.

This is such a sad day. I remember watching Charlie's Angels when I was little. I loved that show so much.

Make Believe

Most kids love playing games of make believe. You can encourage this particular type of play by providing certain materials to assist your children in their imaginary games. Here's a short list of items that your child might find amusing to play with.

- different types of clothing for dressing up (The thrift store is your best friend.)
- cardboard blocks for building cities or forts
- pillows and sofa cushions
- blankets of various sizes and colors and fabrics
- stuffed animals
- kitchen stuff (dishes, food, pots and pans, etc)

Turn them loose with a variety of objects and let them create their very own special games. You might just be amazed at the games they come up with.
