First Birthday Party Preparations

Image
First birthday is a special occasion when the baby reaches an important milestone in her growth. Both mom and baby had stumbled upon many a time and successfully made this mark which is worth celebrating. As a new parent I wanted to make this occasion special and memorable. I had been around the internet for a long time browsing about birthday preparations, decorations, invitations, etc. It was then, when I learned what party organizing was and how it could stress one out easily.  For me, I wanted to keep the party in a way that my baby’s nap time, dinner time or bed time did not get affected.  And if you are going through the same stress as I did you can read my story below and get some ideas. Three rules of my party were... I had decided upon three major criteria for our little doll’s first birthday party, First - I wanted to keep the celebrations simple so we decided to celebrate at our house, (my baby is more comfortable at home than in a new place where she ha...

Ever been through a situation when you feel alienated from your own wardrobe which used to have your favorite collections of clothing and accessories? Trying to hide that flabby baby pooch with the parallel tops or kurtis?  A bit afraid of what your colleagues and neighbors say?  Then you are not alone!! Congratulations you are a mommy now..!! Women do gain extra pounds during their pregnancy and it may take time to lose them as well.  Some are just lucky enough to lose it very quickly and others have to take some extra effort to get back to shape.  The fear of being ridiculed for their extra weight gain often haunts women.  The case is same even if you are a celebrity.  Remember how Aishwarya Rai Bachhan was portrayed by the media for her post pregnancy weight?? Well I would say it would make more sense if we just follow our intuitions rather than worrying about what others say.  Following a strict diet and strenuous workouts soon after de...

Even today when women have made their mark in different fields of life they are still required to get through the interview process.  We often see many men claiming themselves to be teetotalers and yet insist on meeting the girl in the CCD, Starbucks or somewhere alike where they could discuss things to check for compatibility.  I have man...
