That’s right, you heard me, no stressing over getting the “perfect picture” (or at least one where the kids’ eyes are open and looking in the direction of the camera) for my holiday card. I won’t be spending way too much time creating the card on-line, only to change my mind and start again ... and again and again. I won’t be losing sleep over ordering, addressing and stamping the cards in a timely manner. I won’t need to check my list over and over to make sure I didn’t forget someone. Nope, not me! I will also be about $200 richer from not needing so many dang stamps and way too many cards for people I haven’t seen in a decade or more. The absence of holiday cards is pretty darn green, too! It’s liberating just thinking about a cardless Christmas. In fact, I’m considering a boy-cott of baking this year, too. Before you start thinking I’m the biggest Scrooge in the world, let me explain. For years, I felt that I had to do these holiday tasks, and I didn’t enjoy them in the least. When I became a mother, I was spread too thin and time was pre-

cious. Something had to give. Ditching the duties I don’t en-joy doing gives me more time and money for the things I honestly love doing. I feel completely fulfilled and “in the spirit” when I’m shopping, wrapping and giving gifts. I also feel quite festive when I’m volun-teering, entertaining and being entertained. But perhaps my biggest enjoy-ment is getting to see the holidays through the eyes of my children. This year I’ll have the time for these holiday treats and be fully present for the experience.

This year I’m doing the holidays my way, and I can’t wait! I challenge you to think about the holiday traditions in which you find meaning, and those you dread. What tasks have you been performing mindlessly because you feel you have no choice? How many things on your holiday list are your “should do’s” or “have to’s” – rather than “want

to’s” for your sheer enjoyment? What can you cross off your to-do list? How many ways can you think of to say “No,” so your holiday season is filled with mean-ing and your traditions instead society’s norms of how you should celebrate? The biggest gift you can give to yourself (and to your family) this season is to give yourself permis-sion to ditch the guilt, scratch off the “duties,” and enjoy the holiday season your way!

What can you cross off your to-do list? How many ways can you think of to say “No,” so your holiday season is filled with meaning and your traditions instead society’s norms of how you should celebrate?

What Moms-To-Be Should Know About Chiropractic Care

PregnAnCyregular chiropractic care in pregnancy helps promote balance, alignment and flexibility. Many women report less morning sickness and feel healthy throughout their pregnancy. Chiropractic care can relieve and prevent the pain and discomfort frequently experienced in pregnancy, creating an environment for an easier, safer delivery. It is a safe and effective way to help the spine and pelvis cope with the rapid changes by restoring a state of balance. In fact, most women have found that chiropractic care helped them avoid the use of pain medications during their pregnancy, and studies have shown that chiropractic adjustments help to reduce time in labor.

Labor and bIrthMothers who get adjusted seem to require less high tech intervention, resulting in shorter, less traumatic deliveries. With proper nerve supply, effective contractions help move the baby more easily through the birth path. also, when a baby is comfortable, he or she can assume the optimal birth position resulting in a faster, simpler labor and birth.

Post deLIveryChiropractic care is beneficial to both mother and baby after delivery. even natural births can stress a baby’s spine. a chiropractic check up for your newborn can make for an easier start to breastfeeding. breastfeeding problems arise if a baby is unable to comfortably turn its head. you can relax knowing that a light touch is used to make adjustments safe, comfortable and effective.

effective Chiropractic

Chiropractic Tips For Pregnancy:

u Wear flat shoes with arch supports. your feet become more susceptible to injury during pregnancy, partially due to a rapidly increasing body weight, but also because the ligaments that support the feet become more lax.

u When picking up children, bend from the knees, not the waist. your lower back is much more prone to injury during pregnancy.

u When sleeping, lay on your side with a pillow between your knees to take pressure off of your lower back. Full length body pillows or pregnancy wedges can be very helpful.

Chiropractic care as part of overall prenatal care creates an optimum environment for baby to realize his or her full potential.

Once you get the basics down (feed the baby, burp the baby, change the baby, rock the baby to sleep), you’ll be faced with the in-evitable curveballs, the problems you have to solve in the moment.

With some field-tested solutions, and your innate smarts, you’ll be prepared for anything!

1. THE LAST DIAPERA time may come, if it hasn’t al-ready, when you are down to one diaper — or no diapers! — either at home or while on the go. You have options:

• (Advanced Warning: The follow-ing isn’t as gross as it sounds.) If you have only one diaper left, chances are you have a sanitary pad in the house or, if you’re in a mall or restaurant, you can buy one from a ladies room vending machine. Stick a highly absorbent pad into that last diaper. The pad will absorb all or most of the mess and

enable you to just change the pad until you can get your hands on more diapers.

• Keep first aid adhesive tape on hand — at home and in your diaper bag — for when a closing tab is accidentally ripped off of a diaper. While many types of tape will work (duct tape, masking tape, packing tape, though not so much cellophane tape), I prefer first aid paper tape, which has the gentlest adhesive if it touches the skin.

• For when you’re totally out of disposable diapers, be sure to keep a few cloth diapers on hand (which you can put to use as burp cloths while they await their time at bat). You can also craft a diaper out of a towel or dishcloth. Here are some basic diaper folding instructions, from which you can improvise as needed: 1) Fold the cloth into a rectan-gle. (Depending on the size of the child, your finished rectangle will

be approximately 6” x 10”; a larger cloth can be folded over by sections in order to provide you with extra layers for absorbency.) 2) Place and center the baby vertically on the length of the cloth. 3) Bring the bottom part of the fabric up between the baby’s legs. Flip the left and right sides over to lay on the baby’s belly, and then secure all three sections together. If you don’t have diaper pins in reserve, use the aforementioned tape. If you don’t have rubber pants to put over the diaper, consider fashioning a temporary pair out of a gallon-size plastic bag or plastic grocery bag. (See caveat below.)

2. CREATE A BIB ON-THE-GOSpeaking of plastic bags, let’s venture into another practical use for plastic grocery bags — with the caveat that this method is to be used correctly under adult supervi-sion because, as all plastic bags tell us themselves with a printed warn-ing, plastic bags must be kept out of reach of babies and children. When you’re out and about

and have no bib, but desperately need a bib, you likely have or have access to a plastic shopping bag. If so, size up the bag and your child. Depending on which will be the better fit, choose from these tailor-ing methods:

Option A: Tear open the bot-tom of the bag. Use the bag’s pre-existing opening for your child’s head and the handle openings as arm holes. Adorn your child in, essentially, a plastic tank top. Option B: For a top with less “cleavage,” tear a hole in the bot-tom of the bag. Put the child’s head through that new hole. Pop openings in each side of the bag and guide your child’s hands and arms through those new holes. Ta-da! You now have a full-torso covering for impromptu restaurant meals, ice cream cones and even finger-painting. Yes, the bib will be bizarre looking, and you and your bag-wearing baby might get some odd looks. But I have used this technique in public and have been praised by restaurant servers and diners for my ingenuity.

3. ALWAYS HAVE FRESH MILK ON HANDYes, a mother can breastfeed her child, which makes having milk in the fridge a non-issue. Short of

that, all parents with young milk drinkers should acquaint them-selves with ultra-pasteurized UHT shelf-stable milk. Packaged in box-like aseptic cartons, the milk needs no refrig-eration until it’s opened. UHT milk tastes like regular milk, only a bit sweeter, and is widely used in countries that don’t have consistent refrigeration. I always keep several of the one-quart cartons in my pan-try as back-up for when we run out of fresh milk. Because the milk, which comes in whole, 2-percent, skim and chocolate varieties, is also sold in a six-pack of individual serving sizes

(like a juice box), you can keep milk handy in your car, stroller or diaper bag without having to worry about cool packs or spoiling.

Hint: At the supermarket, look for UHT milk – Parmalat is a com-mon brand – in the baking rather than daily aisle. Similar shelf-stable packaging exists for milk products made from soy and rice.

Children between the ages of two and five are like sponges, absorbing all that surrounds them. “The most important benefit of attending preschool is that it gives a child early social and learn-ing experiences that allow him or her to be prepared for kindergar-ten,” says Bruce Turnquist, Psy.D., an Annapolis-area psychologist who specializes in helping chil-dren and families. “Preschool also helps a child to start separating from his or her parents, especially the mother.” This period of separation is good for both parents and child. “Mom and dad get a feel for what it will be like when the child begins kindergarten,” says Dr. Turnquist, noting that the hours a child spends in class can also give parents a well-deserved break.

Preschool Skills A preschool should offer hands-on, fun activities that devel-op both fine motor and gross mo-tor skills. In addition to teaching the academic basics including the alphabet, counting, name writing and identifying shapes and colors, preschools teach children class-room skills such as taking turns, lining up, and independence in the bathroom. Important social skills are also learned in preschool. “In today’s society, we are so worried about academics, but it’s important to work on the social piece of the puzzle and build from there,” says Maggie Tate Riith, the second-

It’s Time To Think


By Beth Crabtree

when your youngster will not be tired or hungry.

What To Look For A critical consideration is class size. Generally six to eight students per teacher is a good ratio. Notice whether toys are stored at eye-level for the children. Ask about the daily routine. The children should have time for drawing, gluing, cutting, and manipulating small objects. Music should be incorporated into the curriculum. Find out how much time the children spend outdoors, and ask to see the play-ground. Look for tricycles, slides, swings, monkey bars, and sand boxes. Don’t forget to inquire about toilet training requirements. During your visit, watch the adults in the classrooms. Do they genuinely enjoy young children? Can they maintain a sense of humor? How is discipline handled? Ask the school’s director about the length of tenure for teachers and about their opportunities for continuing educa-tion or professional development. Also ask about the licensing and accreditation of the school.

generation owner of Weems Creek Nursery School & Kindergarten in Annapolis. “Learning through play is important,” she says.

Finding a Preschool Once you’ve decided to send your child to preschool, the next step is to find a few schools to compare. Word-of-mouth is a great way to begin looking, so ask other parents who have young children. Talk to your neighbors and search online. Your pediatrician may also offer suggestions. Many churches and synagogues run preschool pro-grams, and there are also indepen-dent preschools, some of which are connected to private elementary schools. Most preschools require an ap-plication, and many have waiting lists. You should contact prospec-tive preschools at least one year prior to the time you anticipate enrolling your child. Open house days are a good time for an initial visit, but schedule a private visit as well. Your child will usually come with you, so arrange for a time


About Preschool


Beth Crabtree is a lawyer, freelance writer and mother of five.

Parent involvement varies by school, so ask about volunteer opportunities such as field trips, guest readers, and special events that require parents’ participation. Co-op-style schools are generally less expensive, but parents are required to help in the classroom on a regular basis. Preschool schedules vary greatly, so consider your family’s needs. Classes may be two, three, or five mornings or afternoons per week. Children’s nap times and parents’ work schedules must be considered. When it’s time to make a school decision, trust your in-stincts. “Look for a school that is a good fit for your family. Consid-er the environment, the building, and the teachers,” says Riith. “After visiting the schools, choose the one where you feel most comfortable.”
