Fun Family Service Project: Send Holiday Cards to the Troops
Starting to write out your Christmas cards this month? Need to get your family or youth group in the spirit of giving? Try this service project with your family. The American Red Cross has an effort currently to get one million holiday cards to the troops. Our family will be participating as we love to make cards and it helps teach my teens the value of saying thank you. More information on where to send the cards and their requirements(no envelopes needed) can be found at the American Red Cross Site. Be sure to start right away as the cards need to be postmarked by the 09th of December.

Baby Products

Newborns

Infants 3-12 Mos.

Toddlers 1-4 Yrs.



From Heather Corley, your Guide to Baby Products
This week, one of my friends raved to a moms group about a product she loved, and convinced several other moms to give it a try. Another mom shared an opinion about a product she didn't like very much, and it's not likely the others in the group will be lining up to buy that item now. Your opinions are powerful! I hope you'll share your thoughts on the products you've used, whether it was a big hit or a total miss.

Breast Pump Reviews from Moms
Pumping for your baby gives you a lot of time to think. It nearly always requires you to sit down for a while, and although hands-free pumping accessories help, it's sometimes hard to go about your business while you're waiting for the pump to do its magic. I spend a lot of time thinking about what I like and don't like about a particular breast pump. Do you? If so, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Review Your Baby Bottles
If you've pumped your milk for your baby, or you're feeding formula, you may have noticed that all bottles are not created equal. Some leak, some have fragile inner pieces, some encourage extreme burping. What do you love or loathe about the bottles you've tried?

Diaper Bag Reviews
I love a really big, flashy diaper bag. The bigger and full of pockets, the beter. I have a few friends who want to faint at the idea of carrying a huge diaper bag, and prefer something tiny and basic, though. Which diaper bags have you tried?

Review Your Cloth Diapers
I've become a wee bit obsessed with buying cloth diapers. Not only do they contain my new son's messes, they're incredibly cute while doing so! Cloth diapers vary quite a bit by brand and style, though, and the fit depends on your baby's shape, too. Which diapers are your favorite? Are there some you won't buy again?

Your relationship with your kids is one of the biggest influences on their behavior. Sure, tactics like time out and other consequences work, too, but maintaining a warm, loving relationship is the most important factor in raising kids who will choose to do what's right over a host of other options.

Write a Letter to Your Kids
Need a breakthrough? Why not start by writing a letter to your kids to tell them just how you feel? Sometimes putting your thoughts on paper communicates more deeply than spoken words.
