Newbaby.com

As parents, we all have many fears, joys and accomplishments that we love to share. My husband jokes with me and always says if you ask a simple question about pregnancy or something one of the girls did, I could talk for hours and never run out of things to say. Sharing my pregnancy and parenting stories is one of my favorite things to do. But it wasn't always a topic I enjoyed to talk about. I was a young mom and didn't have the confidence that I have now. In the beginning I was nervous to voice my opinion and did not want to be judged. I have now learned in my 8 years plus in parenting, that I have a voice and love to be judged. I don't need anyone telling me that I am right or wrong, because in my heart I know its right for our family. With that being said, there is a new site that just started and I could only be so happy to share and talk about it.

NewBaby.com is the online video resource for moms featuring thousands of mom generated videos, product Vcasts and Expert solutions segments. It's an online community where moms can learn, share and create videos in a safe, secure and Free environment.

If there was a site like this when I was a new mom, I may have gained that confidence sooner. And even though sometimes I feel like a pro at parenting my girls, there is always something new that brings me back to the ground and stumps me again.
So parenting pros, new parents and parents to be, or if you are just plain curious on what its about check out Newbaby.com and share your story today.

Mom Select

The last couple of months I have done a few reviews for a company called BSM Media. The people over there have been great to work with and I really enjoy communicating with them. BSM Media has been working to help companies speak to moms about products and brands in a relevant manner. Maria Bailey, BSM Media's CEO and author of "Marketing to Moms," works to educate companies on the buying power of mothers, the intelligence that they apply to purchasing products and solutions they seek for their family via value, price, safety, health and enrichment.
Maria and the BSM media staff have started a new site to pull moms and companies together even more. Mom Select allows you to choose what aspects your interested in, they are fun, educational and empowering and allow you to share free samples with friends, host in home parties or review the newest products for moms. Best of all, YOU get to choose the programs! Check out Mom Select and sign up today. I already did!

mamavice

Lindsay just came up with a brilliant idea for moms and dads. She has started this blog called mamavice, where moms and dads can go and email and ask for advice or leave advice for others mom, so its always there if at 3am you need some.

I can't even began to tell you how many times I could have used this in the last 22 months or even when Hannah was a baby. I highly encourage everyone to check it out and if you have a question ask!

Thanks Lindsay for being so brilliant, where would be without you?
There is also a really cute picture link, I will get mine up as soon as I find some time.

The Benefits of Mobiles for Infants

When choosing the right mobile for baby cribs, it is important to note that not all mobiles are created equal. All mobiles are designed to help keep your baby busy, but not all are designed to stimulate the development of your child’s mind. When choosing the right mobile, there are a few key factors that every parent should keep in mind.

Many mobiles are designed to be easily matched with a nursery décor. This means soft colors including pastels and other unsaturated hues. While they may look nice, this is not ideal in helping develop your baby’s visual senses. Infants have difficulty seeing soft colors, which means that these mobiles will not be as stimulating as others. When choosing a mobile, look for models that have attachments that are white, black, red, and one or more bright colors. Your child will have a much easier time seeing bright colors and it will help greatly as your child’s vision develops.

A good developmental mobile should also have several moving parts and points of articulation. Mobiles with attachments that allow for more rotations and movements will help your child with spatial relations. Not only that, but these mobiles will also engage your infant for longer periods of time. Even a child can decipher simple movement patterns and become bored, so complex patterns will help them stay occupied longer.

Lastly, look for a mobile that has incorporates audio as well as visual elements. Many mobiles on the market today come equipped with a music box to help entertain, stimulate, and relax your child. The high-end models even let you choose between stimulating or soothing music to help either engage or help relax your baby. The combination of visual and audio elements is the best way to help with the development of an infant and music especially is an essential part of developing a healthy and well adjusted child.
