Finding a great sound machine for your baby’s room can be a challenge. However, it does not have to be. We have pulled together our two favorite sound machines on Amazon that are both a very affordable price.

Do you dispute who receives the highest salary, who has the highest position and who is promoted first? But you are not co-workers, but husband and wife? It's time for a break.

The dictionary meaning of instant-gratification is the desire to experience pleasure or fulfillment without delay or deferment, basically getting what you want when you want. Believe it or not, millennials and especially, the generation of current teenagers is heavily equipped with this.

There is no excuse whatsoever for having to take the kids to boring parks. So much creativity can be used to ensure that kids have the best time when they are out to play and to let off some steam. And as far as we are concerned, if the Danes can do it, then so can everyone and everywhere else!

There is no doubt that the bond formed between parents and children, especially in their baby/toddler years is an incredibly special one. The reality is, that at some point there will be that first time separation.

There are many different parenting styles out there. Some parents prefer to be strict and closely monitor their children. Others prefer to be more of a friendly character in their children's’ lives in order to instill a sense of personal responsibility and trust between them and their kids. Whatever the case may be, there are many positives and negatives associated with both forms of parenting. And while no one truly knows which form of parenting is best, what is known is that a consistent style of parenting is very important.

Growing up, people typically look to their parents or other role models for influence and advice on how they will become as parents one day. Often times, people will take mental notes of things they want to incorporate into their parenting rulebook and things that they will avoid at all cost, even before they have children of their own. If someone valued all of the sports that their parents pushed them into trying as a child, they will most likely push their own children to try new sports as well. However, if they hated that their parents dragged them to soccer practice every day after school, then these people may be much more likely to not sign their kids up for new sports constantly.

Spending time with your child and doing a good exercise usually seems to be a completely separate activity. Larysa DiDio, a New York celebrity trainer who works with many mothers says "It's a great place to have a parallel game with your child.” Alternate training exercises with short periods of rest, by jumping from the bench to the swings, imagine them as circuit stations with your son. You will have intensive, interval training and a full body.

1. Doing the Laundry Basic of the basics, all teens should know how to do this simple task. You could begin teaching your child as young as age 6. Walk them through the steps; measuring, loading, settings and starting the machine. If you have to, choose cute names to teach them the process and once that’s done they’ll be able to do it on their own!
