Decorating & Window Treatments
Window treatments beautify your space and provide privacy as well. Tempting as it might be to spend on elaborate custom treatments when you first move in to a home, waiting a while saves you from making expensive mistakes. Make note of your personal needs in a space. Decide whether you need to filter glare, block neighbor’s views or just soften the look of a window. Inexpensive temporary blinds or curtains fill in while you ponder your options.
Ways to Baby Proof Your Home
From the time of conception, a mother begins planning for the safety of her child. The womb provides a cozy, safe home until your baby is born. Baby proofing the home keeps the baby safe once she arrives. To an adult, the home feels like a safe environment, but babies find lots of potential dangers, especially once they become mobile. Look at the home from a crawling baby’s perspective to identify the risks.
How to Get a Toddler to Eat Meals at the Table
Toddlers are little bundles of non-stop energy. Sitting down is not one of their strong suits. Parents can encourage their energetic tots to enjoy some quiet family time at the table for meals. Make the table a comfortable place for the toddler and the whole family. Minimize trouble zones for the toddler by removing glass centerpieces or salt and pepper shakers, which can invite curious toddlers to play and make a mess rather than eat their meal. Tuck the ends of a tablecloth so they are out of reach to minimize the toddler’s temptation to tug on it. In the beginning, realize that toddlers will get up from the table frequently, but if you stick with the idea that food is eaten at the table, they will eventually sit until they are done with their meal.
