How to Throw a Frugal and Fun Baby Shower
I work with predominantly males, and one of my male coworkers was going to have his second child soon. My boss realizes that I love throwing fun creative parties for a frugal price (I had a baby shower for him too), so he asked me to throw my coworker and his wife a baby shower party. The couple knew they were having a girl, and with a household of all boys, I jumped at the chance! What fun buying little pink girlie things!
We all pitched in with what we could afford but we're a small group. With about that I collected, I had to buy plates, napkins, a card, ribbon, gift bag, food, and a respectable gift. I want to share how you can throw a frugal, thrifty, and fun baby shower.
The couple already has a 2-year-old son, so luckily they had a lot of the big items. I began with a pretty basket that was donated to me by a Longaberger basket consultant who worked in my group; that was a great addition to the overall gift since the couple can use the basket long after the child grows up. You can also use any large pretty basket.
We have a new large dollar store, the Dollar Tree, near our house. I knew I could find some great items to add to the basket. After lining the basket with pale green tissue paper, I arranged all the items in the basket, placed it down into the cellophane bag, made the bow, and tied it all up. I tied the rattle to the bow, and tucked the rose into the middle of the bow. I actually forgot to include the mesh bags, but it turned out for the better. I placed the extra diapers that I couldn't fit into the basket into one of the mesh bags, and tying the balloons to it, used it as my balloon anchor. The mesh bags are wonderful to hang wet tub toys, or to use for a number of handy uses.
It turned out so cute! The plates, ribbon, picture frame, and rattle all had the same pink and lime green color. Even the mesh bags were lime green! I was really proud how everything color coordinated. The Longaberger consultant loved the way I had decorated her donated basket and took lots of pictures of it to show at her parties.
Here's what I found at the Dollar Tree to put in the basket, plus some other frugal finds from other sources:
Square Paper Plates with Pink and Lime Green Flowers: Large Square White Napkins: Wired Ribbon with Pink and Lime Green Butterflies: Breck Lavender Baby Wash: Breck Lavender Baby Lotion: Breck Flushable Baby Wipes; Fisher-Price Newborn Socks with yellow trim - 3 Pack: Baby Spoons with Soft Pink Handles - 2 Pack: Bottle Brush with Pink Handle: Pink Snack Holders - 3 Pack: Lime Green Mesh Bags with Drawstring - 4 Pack: Small picture frame with Pink Flower: Greeting Card: Body.50 (cards are 2/ at Dollar Tree) 2 Mylar Helium Balloons; 1 Pink Heart, 1 Welcome Baby: ( each) Clear Cellophane gift bag - 2 Pack: Pampers Newborn Diapers: .72/pack from WalMart Store Brand Desitin: .76 from WalMart Grandma's Photo Album (Wrapped & New): Body.75 from garage sale Rubber Duckies; Mommy and Baby - New: Donated by Geri Rattle with Pink and Lime Green Rings: from WalMart Artificial pink rose: FREE from around my house
Dollar Tree Total: .50 WalMart Total: .62 Misc. Total: Body.75 Gift TOTAL: .87 (excludes tax)
With the money left over, I bought the following food. Look for specials on in-season fruit and use your coupons if possible! I've always wanted to make one of those cute baby carriages carved out of a watermelon. It was relatively easy, and this was a big hit with both the women and men attending the shower.
Whole watermelon Pineapple Strawberries Blueberries one Orange 4 grapes Individual sponge cakes: 2 packs of 6 each Cheese tray with 4 different varieties Whipped cream: FREE from my house
TOTAL: almost
Watermelon Baby Carriage
If your melon is wobbly, cut a small piece off the bottom to flatten the underside. Carve out the watermelon, and chop the reserved melon into chunks for the fruit salad. (You'll have more than you need!) You can add a decorative edge to the top if you like. Save the extra rind for the carriage handle. Cut the rest of the fruit into bite-sized pieces. Mix with the watermelon chunks. Fashion a stroller handle out of the leftover rind using my picture as a guide. Attach the handle to the body with toothpicks. Slice the orange into 4 pieces, and using the grapes too, attach with large toothpicks to the melon for the carriage wheels.
I brought the carved melon unassembled to work in a large white plastic trash bag, and the fruit salad separately in a large covered bowl that I kept refrigerated. Right before serving, place the carriage on a platter, assemble the handle and wheels, and spoon the salad into the melon. Serve the fruit salad with the sponge cakes, whipped cream and cheese tray.
This simple yet elegant party served about 18 guests, and everyone had a wonderful time. The gift basket and food were a big hit, and the 2-year-old loved playing with the balloons.

Stand Up Toilet Training
Finally, a dad has invented a stand-up child-size urinal for toilet training little boys. The inventor, Scott Rote, is a dad who easily toilet trained two little girls but was hesitant about the upcoming battle he might go through with his third child - a boy.
In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics confirms the common wisdom that boys take longer to train than girls: the average toilet training age for boys is 35 months - a full 3 months later than girls. Rote wondered if there wasn't a better way and researched potty training accessories on the market, all of which encouraged training boys in a sitting position. This seemed odd, particularly since the majority of educators and practitioners say that the best way to teach children is to "model behavior."
With this in mind, Rote, an industrial designer set out to find a potty training accessory to train boys by allowing them to stand. Rote's invention, the Peter Potty is a familiar shaped kids-size urinal, made out of lightweight hard plastic. It is not a toy, but a flushable stand-up toilet.
Quantitative research conducted independently of over 400 children shows that boys trained in a standing position reached success two months earlier. Since the majority of these 'standing boys' were trained with a step stool/toilet method, the Peter Potty may make earlier success possible because of the features of this potty training accessory. Anecdotal evidence suggests perhaps as much as six months faster.
Whatever potty training accessory you may consider, look for the following characteristics:
Appealing to kids Correct size-kids shouldn't be able to fall in Easy to use and clean Stable and secure
We like the Peter Potty because:
It's unique and interesting to kids. The 'real water flush' can be appealing and offers a reward for success. There are no steps to climb, no fear of "falling in." The size is right, adjustable for 18 months to 4 years and beyond. It's simple to use and requires emptying only once per day. It mimics dad's behavior and prepares kids for urinals in public facilities.
The Peter Potty also comes with hardware to secure to a wall to eliminate any fear of it tipping over. We would recommend this or keeping it in a safe spot, such as between toilet and wall to lessen the chance of spilling the contents. We also recommend emptying more than once per day for the same reason.
The Peter Potty is supported by several leading pediatricians and we expect it to quickly gain traction. If you're the kind of guy who always wondered why you can't have an easy to use urinal with no stupid seat to put down, you'll buy the Peter Potty just to stimulate conversation in the house. My wife always tries to hide it when guests come over, but I proudly keep ours in the first floor guest bathroom so everyone knows the boys in the house are standing up for their rights, at least in the bathroom.
As for the dad in the story, Scott Rote was able to quickly train his son Kyle at 2 ½ years. The Peter Potty is sold by Visionaire Products, of which Scott Rote is a founding partner.

Evolution of Adult Incontinence Supplies
Let's face it, there was a time when you heard the term adult incontinence supplies, and your mind shot to adult diapers. It was a miserable time for people, and one that offered embarrassment for those who had to use them. But thanks to modern technology the process has changed, and so has the quality of these products. We'll take a look at some of the incontinence supplies and see how they have moved forward from the days of traditional looking diapers.
To begin with, we'll look at the evolution of the adult diaper. When it was first released, it was nothing more than a larger version of a Pampers diaper. Those who were looking to go out, and needed to wear these often required loose mesh pants that hid the shape and sound that the diaper made. Today, the diapers fit snug around the body and come in both cloth and traditional versions. This method is usually for those who have a moderate to heavy problem, and aren't able to wear the incontinence underwear.
Another idea for adult incontinence supplies is as we just mentioned actual underwear. It resembles normal underwear, but has extra padding in areas that might have leakage, and you can get these designed uniquely for men or women. In most cases they have an odor and bacteria blocker built in while remaining waterproof for comfort. You can get them in thongs, bikinis and other forms if you desire.
Of course there are other incontinence supplies you will need to have on hand. These will be needed for problems that might arise that get a little messy. No longer are you subjected to the harsh chemical wipes that used to be available, today you have the following options:
*Soft flushable wipes with aloe & soothing agents
*Wash clothes
Additional supplies that might be needed will include gloves, odor control inserts that can be found online, and pants that are lined with wetness and stain protection. The goal of these products is to reduce embarrassment from having an accident, and give you the comfort to make it to the restroom unnoticed.
Sometimes accidents happen in the bed, and while there was a time that plastic sheets were the only option some had, new products are available in addition to your other incontinence supplies. What is commonly sold now are under pads. These are flat pads that absorb moisture that come in contact with them. They are backed with waterproof material, and can easily be thrown away with minimal mess being made.
It is important to understand that even though you use adult incontinence supplies, you might need something in addition to help your skin. When your pads become wet, remove them as quickly as possible. When that is done, you should clean and dry the area, and then apply a lotion to keep skin smooth and free from chafing. Most incontinence supply stores will sell this type of lotion in their normal catalogue.
Remember, just because you need these products doesn't mean anything is wrong with you. Certain medical reasons and aging will increase our needs for these supplies. If you aren't comfortable picking them up in the store, many online companies will ship these products to you discreetly, which makes the buying process easier and more comfortable for you.

Disposable Vs Cloth Diapers - Finding the Diaper Solution That's Right For You
Everything old is new again, especially when it comes to caring for babies. Although new parents a few decades ago may have balked at the idea of using cloth diapers, today more and more of us are looking into this more natural form of diapering.
Cloth diapers have been around for most of human history, but if you haven't seen cloth diapers these days you may be in for quite a surprise! Today's designs are sleek, leak-proof and come in new, cute designs.
If you haven't considered using cloth diapers, there are several reasons why you may want to make the switch. The first reason is purely economic. By the time your child is potty-trained, you will have spent at least ,000 on disposable diapers. That is money that you are literally throwing away each and every day.
On the other hand, a good set of cloth diapers will cost you an average of 0. As your child grows, you can even sell your smaller diapers in exchange from larger ones. At the most, you can expect to spend 0 over the course of your child's diaper using time. That's a savings of 00. With that amount of money, you could start a savings account for your children and have a nice addition to their college fund by the time they graduate high school.
Money savings aside, there are several other reasons why cloth diapers make good sense. Cloth diapers are environmentally friendly. When you throw out disposable diapers, you're not only wasting money, but you are filling out landfills with waste that won't biodegrade for many years to come. It's estimated that disposable diapers will take 500 years to completely degrade. That means that all the disposable diapers that have ever been used in the history of the product are still out there somewhere! It's staggering when you think about it.
By using cloth, you're becoming part of the solution instead of part of the problem. It can take as much as 300 pounds of wood, 50 pounds of petroleum and 20 pounds of chlorine to produce enough diapers for one baby for just 12 months! When you make the decision to use cloth, your actions have a massive beneficial impact on the environment.
Finally, by using cloth diapers you may also be protecting your baby's skin and health. Some disposable diapers contain dioxin, which is a harmful by-product caused by the bleaching of paper. Dioxin is a carcinogen and has been banned in other industrialized countries, but it has not been banned in the United States.
By using cloth, you're removing the risk of exposing your baby to this chemical, and the others that are used in disposables. The fact that your baby is wearing these chemicals all day long is reason enough to look into cloth as an option.
Cloth diapers are convenient and easy to use. Although you'll have to wash the cloth diapers, you'll actually be using less water than it takes to produce disposable diapers. Washing diapers is an easy process and very shortly you'll get used to the process.
And there are even new hybrid types available (such as gDiapers) which have an over layer in which you snap flushable refills. Before you make a definite decision in the disposable versus cloth diaper debate, take a bit of time to research new options that are on the market that may offer you the best of both worlds.

Disposal of Incontinence Products When Traveling
What do you do with your incontinence products when you are traveling? It is difficult to deal with such an embarrassing condition and many people avoid social situations because they are worried about having an accident while they are out. However quality incontinence products make it much easier for you to manage your condition and prevent the embarrassment you feel about living with incontinence. The good news is that there are even products that can help you to properly dispose of your used incontinence products.
Using these little disposable bags is the best option you have to properly dispose of your incontinence products when you are traveling. They include an extra layer of protection as not only will they hide what is inside the bag but they also come with a scent so others cannot smell urine. This special PH balance in the bag can prevent the odor from leaking out for a couple of days. This is a great way to prevent a smell but also to ensure that you are properly disposing of your adult diapers.
When you are traveling it is a smart idea to take an emergency pack with you wherever you go. This is the best way to manage incontinence as you are out and about. The emergency pack should include some of the disposable bags to discretely dispose of your adult diapers. It also needs to include some other things as well like a change of incontinence underwear so that you are not left unprotected. Include some of the flushable wipes as well to properly clean your genitals and prevent health issues. Keeping this little sac of emergency supplies with you is one of the most important things you can do when you are traveling. You never know when you will have a problem with incontinence and you do not want to be caught unprotected.
There are approximately 25 million Americans that suffer from urinary incontinence and traveling may seem like something that is too far out of reach because of how embarrassed they are by their condition. It seems that no matter what your body is always going to leak urine at a time when it is the most inconvenient for you. Since you have no control over when your body leaks urine you have to be prepared all the time and try not to let it ruin your vacation.
Not only do you want to keep some of the emergency products with you it is also a good idea to live by certain things when you are traveling and managing incontinence. Consider the following tips to help make your life easier and to avoid the stress that incontinence can bring on:
• Request a seat on the plane, train, or bus that is close to the restroom. This is a great way to have quick access to the restroom where you can change out your product. If there is not a small wastebasket in the restroom you will need to dispose of the product in your carry-on. This is why the small disposable bags with PH can help as they mask the smell but also make it sanitary.
• If you are driving try to map out your trip to avoid driving for long stretches of time without bathroom breaks. You need to break at least once an hour or so in order to empty your bladder and to try and limit the amount of urinary loss that occurs on the drive.
• Adhere closely to the diet recommended by your doctor in order to prevent accidents. Certain foods stimulate the bladder to release urine and make it harder for you to keep it in.
