One of my favorite things to give my mom for Mother’s Day is a gift basket — not one of those that you pick up in the store, but one that I put together myself with little things I know she’ll appreciate.  Here are some things that go well in these gift baskets:

• Bubble bath.  My mom loves to take long, hot baths, but she doesn’t like to buy bubble bath for herself, so I usually get her some on special occasions.
• Lotion.  My mom also loves really high quality lotion, but again, won’t buy it for herself — she usually gets the cheap stuff, so I get her bottles of the nice stuff for her birthday and Mother’s Day.
• Scented jar candles.  She loves to burn candles — and of course, nothing goes with a hot bath like a little candlelight and candle scent!  She also loves these new soy candles, which burn more cleanly than regular candles.
• New pajamas or a nice bathrobe.  Gotta stay relaxed after that lovely bath!
• Chocolates.  Turtles are one of my mom’s favorites.
• Homemade coupons for various things such as lunch or brunch at my house, a bath in my tub (I have a really big, deep claw foot bathtub at my house), an afternoon of antique shopping ("antiquing" as she calls it) together, and other mother-daughter types of things.
• Anything else I can think of.  The way I figure it, Mother’s Day is for pampering moms, so I’m going to do the best I can to spoil my mother rotten!

There are a lot of cute baby costumes out there for Halloween as well as for other special occasions. However, many of the costumes that are made end up being uncomfortable for the babies that we want to wear them. It’s important to pay attention to the types of costumes that you’re buying so that the kids can be comfortable and cute at the same time.

Here are some tips for buying baby costumes:

• Choose simple costumes. A superman costume is great because it’s just a little cape and maybe a shirt.
• Consider the material. Dog costumes may be nice and comfortable or they may be itchy depending on the material; pay attention to this when you shop.
• Notice the fit. It’s hard to shop for the right size with costumes since the sizes differ a little from typical baby clothes. Be selective in choosing the fit so that it will be comfortable.

The pictures that you take of your baby in a costume will be some of your favorites for a long time to come but you want to make sure that you don’t get them at the expense of the child’s discomfort. Be picky so that you and the baby will both be happy.

Sleep problems can cause a significant amount of stress on a relationship. You may find yourself waking each other up at night which can be an annoying strain on a couple over the long term. You may feel tired during the day which can cause fights to happen more easily. And you may find that the solutions to your sleep problems are awkward parts of the relationship.

For example, let’s say that you have sleep apnea. If you don’t treat it, you’ll be tired during the day and fight with your spouse. But to treat it, you need to use CPAP supplies like a sleep apnea mask or a bipap machine. Putting these things on in the bedroom is not exactly conducive to romance. A lack of romance in the bedroom obviously isn’t good for the relationship.

The first thing you need to do is be willing to discuss and deal with the sleep problems that you and / or your partner have. The next thing is to find a way to treat the problem without further compromising the relationship. For example, try to have more romantic encounters during the day and outside of the bedroom to make up for the presence of the sleep apnea machine in your room at night.

When I was looking into the purchase of my first home, I paid attention to every detail about the home buying process. I learned more than I really needed to know about real estate and the process of a home purchase. I made sure that I understood home inspections and neighborhood ratings and mortgage rates. I looked at every single house carefully to see if it met a long list of criteria that I had set forth as requirements for the home. But in the end, I tossed most of that knowledge out the window and made a decision about a home based on gut instinct and an emotional response to a place that I really liked.

You see, most of the homes that I’d looked at were empty but this place was still furnished when I went to check it out. The family that lived there loved animals, a fact which was revealed in part by the animal bedding that was on each bed. There was animal print bedding in the master bedroom that struck me as a little gaudy. But then I saw the children’s room and there was horse bedding on the bed, bedding that reminded me of my childhood home. At that moment, I could actually picture myself living in the house. It didn’t matter that there were a few things on my list that this house didn’t quite have; what mattered was that I felt at home in this place. A house should always aim to be a home.
