Continued from page 1

Have everyone tell a story from their childbirth experience, or, if they have never had any children, let them rehashrepparttar stories their mothers told them ("I was in labor for 72 hours with you..."). Be sure there is a mixture of funny, touching, and gruesome stories to round it out.

Decorate with extra-large maternity bras and undies (or get them in mom-to-be’s size so she can actually keep them afterrepparttar 139945 party).

Play baby shower games for your baby shower for mom. There is no way you would get away with this at a couples shower! But at a baby shower for mom andrepparttar 139946 ladies, you can play Guessrepparttar 139947 mom-to-be’s weight (go easy on her - guess low).

Paint her belly, do crafts like paint matching tees and onesies for Mom and baby, or play a game like baby bottle bowling. Ask guests to come up with other baby shower party ideas or baby shower party themes.

Don’t Husband Bash. But you can tell funny or touching stories about other new Dads or dads-to-be. You don’t want to scarerepparttar 139948 mom-to-be.

Let Kids Help

Continued from page 1

I know of one family that actually hadrepparttar food pyramid on their bulletin board in their kitchen and it helped them to pick out what foods they wanted. Their mom actually let them help plan not only their lunch meals, butrepparttar 139902 meals duringrepparttar 139903 week also. Everyone got a chance to decide what to eat on certain nights. Again, however,repparttar 139904 caveats were there about food choices. They had to pick a protein, vegetable, carbohydrate and fruit. By keepingrepparttar 139905 food pyramid handy her kids got to see what was available. I also remember her taking out pictures ofrepparttar 139906 various meats (beef, pork, chicken) so they could see what they looked like. In addition, she had a book available with recipes of chicken and rice, corn beef and cabbage, standing rib roast, etc. The book also hadrepparttar 139907 different kinds of vegetables and recipes for different ways to prepare them. It also included different types of salads, lunch meats, breads and fruits. All ofrepparttar 139908 recipes had pictures of whatrepparttar 139909 food looked like. She usually baked a cake or pie overrepparttar 139910 weekend and they got to have a dessert other than fruit, Jell-O, pudding or fruit cup on Saturday and Sunday.

Unlike today, when we grew up we played outside, rode our bikes, ran around, roller skated, andrepparttar 139911 list goes on and on. We didn’t have computers or computer games. So in addition torepparttar 139912 above healthy eating choices you need to plan some activities for your children today other thanrepparttar 139913 television or video games. This is a topic however, for a future article.
