Welcome
============================================================

Good evening Everyone,

Today's issue is packed with ideas, activities and
information. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I
enjoyed putting it all together. As always, the Fr*eebies
section took much longer to complete than any of the others.

As there are now over 5,500 subscribers to Baby Talk, I
will soon be reviewing the current ad rates.

Have a Happy Monday.

Until tomorrow.

Warmest regards,
Chrisoulla

Exercise Tips for At-Home Moms
By Rachael Hoffman

Many women have an extra challenge when dieting -
Motherhood. A trip to the gym is out of the question with
soccer practice and dance class to attend. But there has to
be a way to fit exercise into your motherhood routine if you
want to lose weight, without losing your sanity. Below
you'll find some suggestions for calorie burning activities
real moms can do to fit exercise into their lives.

Hit The Road

Once the school age kids have hit the bus, take a brisk walk
for an hour. If you need to, bring your child along in a
stroller. Pushing the stroller while taking a brisk walk
will actually increase the calories burned, not to mention
that your child would probably enjoy it.

Exercise Videos

When the younger kids go down for a nap, pop Barney out of
the VCR and insert an aerobics or workout video. You can
also try getting your kids involved. At a young age, kids
are usually willing to do anything that mom finds
interesting. If you have a step workout video, try setting
your child up with their own step (child-sized of course) so
they can do it with you.

Cut The Grass

Mowing your lawn with a non-riding mower can help you burn
quite a few calories. If you normally pay a service to mow
your lawn, try cutting back the frequency that they come to
every other time, and pick up the extra mowing yourself.
Raking your lawn is also a source of a good work out. Not
only will you be exercising, but you'll have a beautiful
lawn as a bonus.

Get Your Dancing Shoes

Dancing is a great way to burn some calories. Pop in your
favorite CD at home and dance with your kids for an hour. A
night of dancing out with your spouse or partner could be a
great source of exercise as well as a much needed stress
reliever.

General Housework

Moderate everyday housework can also become a part of your
official exercise program. Vacuuming, mopping and many other
household chores burn calories.

The Bottom Line

The bottom line is that everyone, including at home mothers,
can find a way to fit exercise into their daily routine. If
you want to know how many calories you could be burning with
some of these activities, check out this Calorie Counter
Calculator to find out exactly how many calories you are
burning during your normal at home routine, and how many
more you could be burning by adding some of the activities
above to your day.

Winter Fun for Kids
By Stephania Munson-Bishop

A foot of snow on the ground? Fantastic! What a great
adventure for your children! Here are some things every
family should do (at least once!) to make wintertime
extra-special:

Snow People: Don't make a single snowman - make a family!
Dad, Mom, a child or two. Dress the snow people in hats and
scarves, use the traditional carrot for the nose and
charcoal briquettes for the eyes. If the weather's too cold
to finish the project all at once, take a cocoa break, then
return to complete the job.

Snow Angels: After a fresh, powdery snow, children enjoy
lying on their backs and making 'angel wings.' Of course
it's a mess when they return to the house. But jackets and
trousers dry, and sometimes the mess kids make seems
directly proportional to how much they enjoy an activity.

Feeding the Birds: Pinecones coated with peanut butter or
bacon grease, rolled in bird seed or plain uncooked rice,
then tied in trees, will keep children at the window,
watching the birds enjoy their unexpected feast.

Snow Cones: Fill plastic or Styrofoam cups with fresh snow,
drizzle with fruit juice, Kool-Aid, or a little pancake
syrup.

Snow Pictures: Encourage the children to draw pictures and
spell words in fresh snow, using twigs as drawing
implements. Then 'color' with Kool-Aid.

Nature Expedition: Everyone bundles up and takes a walk
through the woods, searching for animal tracks in the snow.
Actually, this is a perfect time for silence (after all, you
don't want to frighten the birds and animals). It's probably
a parent's last ploy, too, for pumping crisp fresh air into
their children, ensuring yawns at bedtime and a good night's
sleep!

Weaning Tips - What to avoid in the early months

These foods are best avoided until your baby is at least
six months old (longer if you have a history of allergies
to a particular food/s in the family):

· Wheat-based foods which contain gluten, such as wheat
flour, breakfast cereals, rusks.

· Nuts and seeds including peanut butter.

· Eggs, fish and shellfish.

· Citrus fruits and juices.

· Cow's milk as a drink until your baby is a year old, but
use it for mixing foods or cooking from six months.

· Milk products such as yoghurt and cheese.

· Salt, which a small baby's system can't cope with.

· Sugar, which can encourage a sweet tooth and lead to tooth
decay.

· Honey should be avoided until your baby is a year old as,
although rare, it may contain spores which can cause
infant botulism.
