How about planning a princess themed party? No doubt, she is the princess in your life, so why not celebrate her birthday in a royal manner? Plan the perfect princess birthday party that would let her live the life of a princess for one day. Although you may think otherwise, it is extremely easy to organize a princess party, all you need is some inspiration and a little bit of effort.<br /><br />Below are some tips that can help you set up the perfect princess birthday party for your daughter and her friends;<br /><br />o INVITATIONS: Make use of a calligraphy font to print your party invitations. Roll up the parchment and tie it with a satin ribbon to give it a royal feel. For the extra effect, you can have the invitations delivered by a messenger wearing a medieval costume.<br /><br />o DECORATIONS: Purple, pink and gold are great colors that can be used to decorate the location of the party. Tie ribbons to the chairs and put up strings of balloons. You can use dolls as centerpieces. Also, attach colorful paper streamers to light fixtures to add a festive touch.<br /><br />o ACTIVITIES: Set up different activities so that everybody can get together and have fun. Place beads in bowls so that the girls can create their own colorful necklaces. Give tiaras and ask the kids to decorate their tiaras with glitter and sparkles.<br /><br />o FOOD AND DRINK: You can either bake or order the cake. Make sure the cake has attractive frosting, pink icing looks the best. Name food items accordingly with the theme. Pink lemonade garnished with strawberries can be a great drink for the party.<br /><br />o FAVORS: There are a lot of options that you may consider. Royal tiaras, magic wands, accessories etc. work well as party favors.<br /><br />Hopefully the above mentioned tips would help you organize a great princess birthday party for your daughter. Add the royal touch to the party and make your angel feel like a true princess, even if it is just for one night. <br /><br />Want to plan a birthday party for your girl?

My toddler loves to have lotion rubbed on his skin. He will bring me the bottle of lotion and sit down on the floor next to me. :) Now I put just a little lotion on his legs and arms and he loves to finger paint with it! Great activity for toddlers and it helps their skin too. We work on teaching my son his body parts when we do this activity. Just be mindful if you use lotions that smell like fruit and flowers, little ones might try to eat it like my son tried to!Milo's Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12760160435302946373noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872072821552429815.post-51037729987620112262010-04-11T01:03:00.009-04:002010-04-11T01:17:14.599-04:00Working at home with childrenWorking from home with children, has its challenges.

Not sure what they really mean or what is the purpose of them? Keep reading – I’ll give you a “newbie” explanation of them.<br /> What is a top-site?<br /><br />Top sites are a collection of related sites that are grouped together within a script that allows a person to vote for that site. Voting for a site by clicking a banner within a top-site allows the site to rank higher within the top site. The more votes a banner gets within the top site the higher your banner will be shown. The higher your banner is shown on the page will equal more visits to your site. Most top sites count incoming links as well as outgoing links to their top site group to determine where you are ranked within the top site. Incoming links are gathered by you placing the top sites banner code on your site and visitors from your site clicking to visit the top site. Outgoing links are visitors who clicked on your site while they were browsing the top site.<br /><br />Top sites are usually free to join. By joining you are agreeing to exchange your banner link with the top site’s banner. Top sites usually generate a lot of traffic, so if you are a new site, joining a few good top sites are important to help build up your creditability with the search engines. The more sites that search engines find your link on, the better. After browsing around a few top sites, you might notice that some have a bunch of dazzling banners at the very top of the site. Those are usually paid sponsors. Those websites paid the top site owner for an ad space at the top of the top site. There are many advantages of this. I’ll go over the top two most important ones. <br /><br />First by purchasing an ad, you are purchasing your guaranteed spot at the top. No matter how many pages long the list grows – your site will always be in that same top spot on each page. You don’t have to do any daily clicking and voting to keep your site at the top. You paid for it to be there, so it will for the duration of your purchased plan. Some top sites offer forever or lifetime ads, which are exactly as they imply. Your banner ad remains there forever. Others top sites do monthly sponsored ads. You pay for a spot at the top in monthly blocks of time. Some top sites have a combination of both. <br />The second reason to purchase an ad on a top site is for one way linking or back links. By purchasing an ad, you do not have to exchange links with the top site. You are paying to not reciprocate. This is excellent for one way links. The more one way links that major search engines find your link on, the more credible they’ll rank your site. If they see a lot of sites linking to your site via a one way link, the better your chances of getting hits to your site become when someone is searching for a product or service that you provide on your site.<br /><br />Think of top sites as a huge online shopping mall. All the banners are like dozens of storefronts within a mall and you are standing at the entrance of a huge mall. The window displays are what draw you into the store. On top sites the more eye catching your banner is – the more likely people will click on it. And as anyone in marketing will tell you: location, location, location is very important. The higher on the top site you are, the better chances you’ll get to more traffic. Just like stores within a shopping mall rent from the mall owners, the more rent you pay – the better your storefront’s location. The same idea applies to top sites.<br /><br />Top sites usually have banner size requirements. Most banners are square shaped 125 x 125 or rectangle shaped at 468 x 60. You would have these uploaded on your site in your image directory if you have a website. Or you can host your banner to a free image sharing account. You can do a search on search engines for free photo sharing accounts. If you do not have a banner and would like one created, you can find many graphic designers online that will offer to create one for you that will fit your needs.<br /><br />Once you have your banner, you are ready to sign up with a top site. You’ll create a user name, a password, a short description about your site and upload the url to your banner. Some top sites will approve your membership right away and others require approval first. Once you have received the top sites approval you’ll log in and look for top sites banners. You’ll place a specialty coded banner on your website which will count your incoming and outgoing links within the top site. It’s important that you do not change anything within the coding you received or your site votes may not register correctly. For best results you should place the top sites banner in a highly visible location on your site, like your homepage. Or in your links section. The more highly visible the banner is, the more likely your visitors on your site will vote for your site! If you are not sure where to place the top site code on your link, its best to contact your hosting account owner or your template graphic designer for help.<br /><br />Don’t just join any and every top site you come across. Check to make sure the top site is well maintained and not abandoned. An easy way to do this is to take a look at the ads. Do you see lots of red x’s or spaces where banners should be? If so, that’s an indication that the top site has been abandoned or not maintained on a regular basis. The red x’s mean that either the sites that they lead to are no longer in business or that they have moved their image urls and haven’t updated their new links. Other reasons to avoid certain top sites if there are little or no paid ads at the top of the site in the sponsored section. Feel free to contact the top site owner for statistics of their site. If they do not provide you with a way to contact them, that is another reason to avoid them. Feel free to contact the other members in the paid sponsor section for references. Also look at the votes for the members; do they have a lot of hits in and out? Chances are if there are not many that’s because the top site is not generating much traffic.<br /><br />Signs of good top sites are: <br />Lots of paid sponsors and non-paid members. The more members on a top site - the better. Top site has very few or no dead links or red x’s. Reasonable ad prices to purchase, if the top site’s ad prices are extremely high or very low - that might be a red flag. The paid ad businesses are relevant to your business. If you sell baby items you want to join sites that sell like minded items. Look at the members votes – do they have a lot of hits coming in and out of their site? Lastly, word of mouth and good recommendations from other website owners about the top site you are considering. If you see other sites that you know are good, quality sites and they are a member of the top site you are considering – it’s probably a good bet you should join too.<br /><br />To get started join our <a href="http://miloscreations.gotop100.com/">Top Site!</a>Milo's Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12760160435302946373noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872072821552429815.post-11288572915267354812010-02-07T20:47:00.005-05:002010-02-07T20:55:03.802-05:00Locks of Love - Little Miss JuliaOur friends over at Little Miss Julia are running a February month long promotion. 20% of all online sales on <a href="http://littlemissjulia.com">Little Miss Julia</a> will be donated to Locks of Love.<br /><br /><a href="http://locksoflove.org">Locks of Love</a> is a wonderful organization that provides hair prosthetics to children who have lost their hair due to a medical condition. These children are also financially disadvantaged. Not only does the hair piece these children receive provide them with hair it helps restore self esteem that was lost due to their medical condition and the resulting side effects.The average retail cost of a hairpiece is between $3,500-$6,000. Locks of Love pays this for this and is able to do so based on donations received. As mother's we can all imagine the pain and suffering these children endure and pain their parents must experience watching their children suffer. Sometimes it seems like we can't help but we can.<br /><br />During February 2010 which represents the month of love, Little Miss Julia wants to show our love to these children by providing a donation of 20% of our total online sales. Please visit our site, view our collection and if you see something you like we would love for you to help us reach our goal of giving Locks of Love a generous donation.<br /><br />If you don't have an interest in purchasing but believe this is a good cause we would love your help in promoting this event.

No eating in the living room. Well I try to enforce that strict rule, but somehow I always manage to find evidence of disobedience of this rule, with an apple core shoved behind the tv or a stray cereal piece in between the cushions.<br /><br />Well tonight I had to break that rule. I allowed my 2 oldest to eat in the living room. Why? Well because I was in the kitchen washing dishes and my youngest was in there as well. My oldest was trying to snack on a ice cream cone and my middle child was eating a piece of cheese. My youngest was going crazy because his brothers were eating those things and he wasn't. We couldn't give those things to him, since they are milk based products and he had the stomach flu. So finally to end the drama, I shooed the older kids to the living room while distracting the youngest.<br /><br />My husband asked, "why didn't <span style="font-weight:bold;">you</span> just leave the kitchen and take the little one with you?" Well I don't know why - maybe a day of cleaning up puke, fried my brain and I didn't think of that! <br /><br /><P align ="right"><img src="http://www.merchantmomphoto.com/is.php?i=3805&img=Blog_Signature..jpg" border="0"></P>Milo's Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12760160435302946373noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872072821552429815.post-77788169886817249832010-01-29T23:27:00.004-05:002010-01-29T23:56:37.431-05:00The Stomach Flu Fairy Strikes Again!Hello Ms Stomach Flu Fairy. I am not pleased with you. I am sure you get a lot of angry letters from parents! I am not one to complain, but I feel this is a valid complaint. You visited our house just one short month ago in December and cursed us with your horrid stomach flu bug. Remember? It was just days before my Birthday and 2 weeks prior to Christmas. I remember it well, as my kids were sick for a day and then I was fooled into thinking they were feeling better. <span style="font-weight:bold;">So I fed them.</span> All that next day they were fine. Or so I thought. Guess what sound and smell I woke up to that night? Yes, it struck again a day later and the same children I might add. <br /><br />As a parent of 3 children, I am resigned to the fact that you'll visit our household at least once each year. However I must remind you after this mornings episode with my 19 month old getting sick 5 times on my carpet. You have exceeded your allowed quota of one visit per flu season. Please go find someone your own size to pick on and leave my kids alone!<br /><P align ="right"><img src="http://www.merchantmomphoto.com/is.php?i=3805&img=Blog_Signature..jpg" border="0"></P>Milo's Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12760160435302946373noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872072821552429815.post-49082349927222480942010-01-16T22:50:00.003-05:002010-01-16T23:11:27.244-05:00Bunk beds - what was I thinking?!?!I was super excited when I finally found what looked like a decent bunk bed for less then $180.00 online - shipping included! It rolled up at 6 PM and it was pitch black out when the freight truck delivered the set. My 4 year old was especially excited - he thought it was "Lighting McQueen" being delivered to our garage. He was thinking the freight truck was "Mack" and Lighting McQueen was inside, since it was dark out - all he could see was it was a large truck and it had lights. :)<br /><br />So we get it assembled today and the boys are super excited about their new beds! We are stoked too, cause thanks to the bunk bed, the kids will finally have some room to play in their room and all the toys can go in there too! Yeah no more toys in the living room right? <br /><br />I was feeling pretty smug about it all, until it came time to put on the sheets. Why didn't someone tell me its a pain the rump to change sheets on a bunk bed? Here I am teetering on the ladder trying to stretch far enough across the top bunk to get the mattress cover and sheet on the bed all in one swoop. After like 10 minutes I finally get the top bunk done. So I'm thinking the bottom one will be a piece of cake. Umm no. Why you non bunk bed owners ask? Well because now I must reach way back in the deep corners of the bed without hitting my head on the top bunk. So putting sheets on these bunks took me like 20 minutes. A task that only took me 2 minutes before when they had single beds. Please tell me I'll get faster and better at this? Until then I am going to dread changing the sheets! Please boys - don't pee your beds ever again?<br /><br /><br /><P align ="right"><img src="http://www.merchantmomphoto.com/is.php?i=3805&img=Blog_Signature..jpg" border="0"></P>Milo's Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12760160435302946373noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872072821552429815.post-38547847190371318742010-01-09T13:57:00.009-05:002010-01-16T23:10:01.527-05:00Princess dresses on SALE!Cinderella or Belle Dresses - just 19.99!<br />One of our favorite manufacturers are releasing new designs for 2010 for two of the most popular Princess dresses: <a href="http://miloscreations.com/item_2/Cinderella-Princess-Dress-Up-Costume.htm">Cinderella</a> and <a href="http://miloscreations.com/item_1/Belle-of-the-Ball-Yellow-Dress-Up-Costume.htm">Belle</a>!

Its been great to spend the last 384 hours (who's counting?) with them. We made cookies for santa, decorated the house for Christmas. Spent time with family and friends and had a great Christmas day. The kids played happily with their new toys and we celebrated New News eve. Then the new year day hits. Kids are bored. Kids are fighting with each other, tired of their toys and its too cold outside to play. In other words they are BORED! They need to go back to school and have routine and structure and learn. So as the kids were driving me nuts, I thought of the Twas a night before Christmas poem and I edited it and rewrote it to have a little humor. Cause any mom with school aged children, knows that you have to have a little humor to keep you from going crazy. Enjoy!<br /><br />Twas the night before school started after a long Christmas vacation, when all through the house<br />Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.<br />The childrens clothing was hung with care,<br />In hopes that the bright yellow school bus would soon would be there.<br /><br />The children were nestled all snug in their beds,<br />While mommy laid awake with visions of them boarding the school bus danced in her head.<br />Mommy in her ‘snuggie' and I in my cap,<br />Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.<br /><br />When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,<br />I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.<br />Away to the window I flew like a flash,<br />Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.<br /><br />The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow<br />Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.<br />When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,<br />But the school bus driving away!<br /><br />With a little old bus driver, so lively and quick,<br />I knew in a moment it must be my alarm didn't go off.<br />More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,<br />I whistled, and shouted, and called my children by name!<br /><br />"Now Michael! now Logan! Get up and go!<br />We missed the school bus and must hurry! To school we must go!<br />"Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all, so mommy can get some work done today!"<br /><br />As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,<br />When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.<br />So up to the school the coursers they flew,<br />With their backpacks full of papers, homework and lunchboxes too.<br /><br />And suddenly all too soon, in, I heard on the front lawn<br />The prancing and pawing of each little foot.<br />As I drew in my head, and was turning around,<br />In the front door My children came with a bound.<br /><br />They were full of energy from their first day,<br />And their coats, boots, hats and mittens were all dropped and left on my front doorstep in disarray. <br />A bundle of papers and empty lunchboxes were flung on their backs,<br />And they looked like a peddler, just opening their backpacks.<br /><br />My children's eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!<br />Their cheeks were like roses, their little noses looked just like a cherry!<br />Their droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,<br />And the milk dribble on their chin was as white as the snow.<br /><br />The wad of gum held tight in their teeth,<br />And the bubble gum encircled his head like a wreath.<br />They had a round little face and a little flat belly,<br />That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!<br /><br />My children were chubby and plump, from all that Christmas candy they were jolly little self,<br />And I laughed when I saw them, in spite of myself!<br />A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,<br />Soon gave me to know I had plenty to dread.<br /><br />He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,<br />And emptied all my cupboards of food, then turned with a jerk.<br />And laying his finger aside of his nose,<br />And giving a nod, up from the table he rose!<br /><br />He sprang from their seat, to his brother he gave a whistle,<br />And away they all flew down the hall, like the down of a thistle.<br />But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,<br />"Mom we are home, and to all a good-night!"<br /><br /><P align ="right"><img src="http://www.merchantmomphoto.com/is.php?i=3805&img=Blog_Signature..jpg" border="0"></P>Milo's Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12760160435302946373noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872072821552429815.post-6819048028846198202010-01-01T16:34:00.008-05:002010-01-01T16:47:52.790-05:00Free Logo Design Giveaway - Suga Pink DesignsIf you have any kind of business - whether is online or offline, you need a logo.

Read on to an idea that you can find all items at your local grocery store!<br /><br />Last weekend we celebrated Christmas with my in-laws. As one of our gifts we received was a Ice Cream Sundae kit. Believe it or not, this was one of my kids favorite gifts! The kit contained everything we needed to have yummy Ice Cream Sundaes! All the great stuff that you would get on your sundaes if you were going to an ice cream parlor. <br /><br />Not only was it fun - it was great to do something fun like this at home with the kids. So instead of stressing about what to get, try something simple like Ice Cream Sundae kits.<br /><br /><P align ="right"><img src="http://www.merchantmomphoto.com/is.php?i=3805&img=Blog_Signature..jpg" border="0"></P>Milo's Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12760160435302946373noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872072821552429815.post-32644898226584258572009-12-23T21:24:00.021-05:002009-12-26T15:59:03.753-05:00Creative Play - Sparks your Child's ImaginationProviding your child an assortment of dress up clothes encourages your child's imagination and prepares them for the real world. Kids naturally enjoy playing make believe and enjoy the excitement of transforming into Doctors, Nurses, Princesses, Chefs, Fire Fighters and Knights. By role playing they learn self expression, problem solving skills and encourages their imagination.<br /><br />Here are 5 ideas of how you can encourage your child's imagination with role play and dressing up.<br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Pretend to be a <a href="http://miloscreations.com/item_49/Postal-Worker-Mail-Carrier-Costume.htm">Mailman</a></span>: What is more exciting to kids then getting mail? Take a couple of cardboard boxes or baskets and turn them into mailboxes. Give your child some junk mail or old papers and let them draw pictures and "mail" them to you. <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">School Time</span> Small children love to play school - set up "desks" which can be as simple as your living room coffee tables, card tables etc. Provide your child with an old backpack that is filled with crayons, paper, books and other school supplies and letting your child "teach" you.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Grocery Store</span><br />Simply take a few cans out of your cupboard and arrange them around on your kitchen table or a bookshelf. Provide your child with a calculator and a toy shopping cart or a basket if you don't have a cart and let them "shop".<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Playing Doctor or Nurse</span><br />Perhaps your child is a bit apprehensive about an upcoming doctors visit or surgery. Help them work through their fears by role playing doctor/nurse and patient with them. Our realistic <a href="http://miloscreations.com/item_82/Kids-Physician-Doctor-Scrubs-Lab-Coat-Costume.htm">Doctor costumes</a> are perfect for this occasion with a real working stethoscope, white lab coat, scrubs and scrub booties, hat and mask. By letting your child dress up as the doctor will help him work through his fears and allow you to talk about the upcoming procedure in your child's most comfortable and relaxed atmosphere - during play. Provide your child with a clipboard and some papers for it. Gather up an old bag and fill it with doctors "tools" small empty bottles for "medicine", some cotton balls, popsicle sticks, and toliet paper for "bandaging" their patients, <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Play Movie Theater </span><br />Many dollar stores sell the infamous red and white striped boxes with Popcorn written on the side. Pick up a package of those, pop some microwave popcorn, pull up a table and let your child stand behind the counter and "sell" you some popcorn, drinks and tickets to the movie. Then gather some comfortable chairs or throw a blanket down for the movie theater. Pop in your family's favorite video - turn off the lights and give your child a flashlight to "check" your tickets before entering the theater.<br /><br />I hope these ideas help you foster your child's imagination today. Keep checking back, as we are gearing up to write several articles on how creative play sparks your child's imagination and ideas of how to encourage natural, creative play. <br /><br /><P align ="right"><img src="http://www.merchantmomphoto.com/is.php?i=3805&img=Blog_Signature..jpg" border="0"></P>Milo's Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12760160435302946373noreply@blogger.com0
