There are so many different thoughts and traditions behind when is the right time to put up your Christmas tree. Most department stores and shopping centres are filled with Christmas bling from October. Tradition states that the tree should go up at the beginning of the Advent calendar which is four Sundays before Christmas Day. Other traditions believe that the tree should go up 12 days before Christmas. In the past it was tradition to put up the tree on Christmas Eve as it was known as bad luck to do it earlier. I have made my own tradition and put our tree up mid-November, usually after my son’s birthday so that we can enjoy the Christmas spirit for a bit longer. All things that go up must come down, so when is the right time for the tree to be packed up? Once again there are different opinions on this too. Some will take it down straight away on Boxing Day. Some will wait until the 1st of January. However, tradition states it should be done 12 days after Christmas. Fake or real? Th...

Communicating with babies before they can actually speak is a possibility. You just need to read the signs. For example if they want to play and socialize they will do the following, lift their head to face you, gaze straight into your eyes, reach out to you with their arms, smile, show bright eyes and alertness. All these messages indicate that your baby wants to interact and enjoy time with you. This is usually a perfect time for baby to pay attention to games. When your baby has had enough with playing and wants a break they usually look away, yawn, frown, pull at their ears, put their hands in their mouth or rub their head. This is when you know they may be ready for a feed or sleep. Just like adults, babies need a break too. When they are overstimulated, overwhelmed or distressed they require assistance in calming down and having a rest. Watch out for signs like, turning their head away, flapping their arms around, arching their back, showing a sad face, fussing or crying. The bab...

  Casting is a method of creating a mould of a baby's limbs from organic materials. Hand and foot casting for newborns is a wonderful way to commemorate the birth of a child. Tiny toes, fine lines, and adorable little fingers of a baby transport every parent down memory lane. Belly casting is the newest way to get a physical representation of the whole baby bump while the baby is growing in the womb.  Merchandise Doting grandparents would appreciate baby castings as a present. Many grandparents are unable to see their grandchildren on a regular basis, so having a reminder of them in the form of a casting can be a welcome change as compared to just a snapshot.

  Foot and hand baby casting (also referred to as lifecasting) helps parents to catch and retain the time when the baby was young. New parents can make a 3D model of the baby's tiny hands and feet using basic materials (alginate and plaster) to create a keepsake to cherish forever. It's really very easy to build a cast for life. There are only two steps that are important. One: Create an impression mould The first step is the use of Impression Making Powder to make a mould of the hand and/or foot of your infant. Alginate is the most widely used mould making ingredient for the production of both professional and DIY life casts, based on seaweed. Even on fragile newborn skin, it's absolutely safe to use. Two: Render the Cast with the Alginate Mould This bit couldn't be easier: just pour plaster into your impression mould of alginate and you have your baby life cast once the plaster has set. Fine baby casting plaster (such as Plaster of Paris), which is one of the cheape...

  Mixing a mould together with sterile ingredients and wrapping it around the hands and/or feet of your infant requires a baby cast. The mould will be wrapped around the hands and/or feet of your baby after a short time, and the mould will be carefully extracted. After this, more mould will be inserted within the outline mould of the feet or hands of your infant. This will fill the mould, making it more robust. Finally, the mould can be painted as you wish.  Some baby casting companies will also provide the casting with a name card, so you can frame the casting in a 3D frame with your baby's name and age after the casting has been completed. There are several reasons why you should consider casting baby feet and hand, such as: Gifts   Baby castings are a perfect gift for grandparents to make dots. Many grandparents are not able to see their children very often so it can often be a pleasant change from a snapshot to have them reminded of a casting. Baby Casting Can Be Done...
