I am finding with my schedule that I am often late getting birthday cards and thank you cards sent out. I think about it but have not made it enough of a priority. The time to go to the store, to find the card, then buy postage and get them sent just escapes me at times.
A friend showed me the SEND OUT CARD site and it has become the right answer for me.
I took my birthday calendar today and entered all the family contacts and birthdays. And I sent out Jan/Feb birthday/anniversary cards today. It was so easy. I could even add a gift card (or gifts) if I wanted. And at 98 cents for the card plus 44 cents postage I saved time and money. I am so excited to find this solution to make my life easier.
Have you had the thought “I should send Mary a card for her birthday”? Now you can do something easily with that little nudge of a thought. Simply log in, select a card, personalize it, and send it off. An easy solution is at your finger tips.
The personal use service is free. You just pay for the cards at 98 cents and the 44 cent postage. You can either pay as you go for the postage and cards. Or get a $9.80 monthly subscription which gives you 20 points (20 postcards, or 10 cards). It can be cancelled easily and quickly at any point. Points you have purchased last for a year so you have lots time to use them. The reminder calendar will tell you when to send cards. I am logging in just before the beginning of each month and sending out the next months cards and gifts.
It makes my life easier. I am excited to be ahead of the card/gift giving I want to send.
Below is the info if you would like to send a FREE CARD on me.

Safety within city apartment buildings and with apartment-living in general, is a combination of physical barriers, technology and personal safety. The aspect of personal safety, as a proactive approach is of the utmost importance, preventing the vast majority of crimes from ever taking place.
Physical Safety
while your neighbours and the overall neighbourhood you live in may be safe, it is often guests and visitors that bring trouble and crime to familiar settings. In addition, those intent on crime seek out prime locations, both suited to clandestine operations and quick getaways, if needed. Unfortunately, apartments offer both of these aspects and more, appealing to criminals of many different levels.
Physical safety devices, such as locks on doors and windows, are your first line of defense, presenting a real, physical barrier to overcome, before entrance is granted. While locks are routinely circumvented, their presence is paramount in deterring and slowing crime; locks on your windows and doors are the first things criminals seek out, searching for a weak point that allows easy access. Adequate sizes of locks and layers of locks are the best physical defences, clearly displaying that you are security-conscious, while presenting a formidable obstacle to even the most determined criminals.
Technology
Technology has opened a huge range of options to those who live in apartment settings, including camera systems, security doors and even key-card access. In addition, there are several very affordable and easy to install security systems that include motion detection, window and door alarms for use within your individual apartment. Technology is a key weapon in the fight against crime and one of the most effective, although, the general population is becoming far too dependent on other measures, including technology, in lieu of the most important aspect of all: avoiding crime in the first place.
Protect yourself
The best tool against crime is your own mind, as you can easily avoid most instances with a few simple reminders. Do not attract criminals by leaving access points open or leaving the lights off for extended periods, these aspects alone attract more burglaries than any others. Traveling back and forth at night, particularly alone and at late hours, is also a sure way to attract the attention of those with ill-intent, regardless of your gender.
Apartments also provide a succession of blind spots, perfect for a host criminal activities, illustrating the need to know your surroundings and conduct your business accordingly. If ever in any doubt, avoid the areas in question completely and stick to well-lit, familiar paths that ensure your safety.
Apartment-living within the city limits is a great experience that is full of fun, entertainment and some of the most diverse populations around. There are higher crime rates in cities, this is true, but when approached with an understanding of the risks involved and how to avoid them, city apartment-living is safe and rewarding.

So I’m sitting here thinking about being a parent. Several things come to mind. What did I need when I was just starting out? What advice could have been given to me to make my journey easier as a parent? Can I still change and make a difference in my parenting skills?
The answers to each of these questions can vary from any easy yes to a daunting full out soapbox preaching explanation. I’m going to do my best to just enlighten.
The things that I could have used as a beginning parent was support from those in my family, to use my “gut” feelings and not just rely on what they used to do when I or their children were little. Things change so much from year to year. You must be willing to explore different ideas and then defend those ideas when you know they are the best for you and your child. Remember what fits one child, doesn’t always fit another. However, something shouldn’t be challenged due to the safety that is important for your child. Car Seat safety and Sleep Safety are a few of the things that once findings come out and change, you should be willing to be change because usually it’s for your child’s well being.
Knowledge of where I could look for information. When my children were little, I didn’t have the internet and its glorious capabilities that we have now. I would have killed for someone I could have talked to about nursing, sleeping, eating, potty problems, and boundary setting. Today, with Facebook, Blogs, and various web pages, we are connected much like the days of the past, with those who can help us get the information about raising children in a time where we are not with our village, the world is becoming our village and the input we can gather is amazing! However, keep in mind; you need to weigh some of your information with common sense and some skepticism, due to a lot of misinformation in the world.
My last question has a simple answer…YES! I can change daily to be a better parent. I can get and give input; I can choose to do things differently if the day before it didn’t work well. You need to remember to try and do your best and someday will go amazingly well, others not so well. We’ve been given a new day to make new changes and grow. As you raise your children, you are also growing yourself. Embrace it as a time for learning, growing, laughter and sometimes tears and failure. These things in the long run will be what matters, not if you got everything right and how perfect your child is. What matters to the child? Having you be an integral part of their life and helping them grow to be all that you can imagine for them.

At My Precious Kid we are very excited to be partnering with 4Scotty.org to provide Christmas presents for children in foster care in Washington, County, Oregon.
Starting this week we will have ornament tags available in our store. Each tag will have a child’s name, age and requested gift. Please consider coming in and choosing a tag and providing one gift for one of the children in our community.
Please come to our store at:

“The children in this community need your help. There are an OVERWHELMING number of children now in foster care and we are reaching out to the community to help us this holiday season! Partnering with the Washington County Department of Human Services / Child Welfare office, our organization is assisting these foster children during the holiday season. Although we have changed our name recently in honor of a fellow member of our organization, this is our 8th year in the community, which hopefully assures you that you are dealing with an organization that has a history and references in the community.
The foster children in our area, who range in age from newborn to18 years of age, find themselves in the foster care system during the holidays. For this reason, we work endlessly in our efforts to provide these children with not only a joyful holiday, but a safe and secure environment to ease their minds and hearts and show them that they are cared about. As you can imagine, these children are already traumatized by being in this situation which has forced them to leave everything they’ve known (including their parents/family), going to new “strange” families and often starting new schools.
These children are supported by 165 on-going foster homes, with some relative placement. Each foster home is usually at their maximum capacities of eight children and with the current state of the economy, these children need our help to brighten their holidays.
We have a job this year that we can’t do alone! Santa has given us a very important task to bring a little extra holiday cheer to these very special children. It is up to the community to try and make this happen. We need your help. You could help, if only for a moment, to put aside their troubles. This can be as easy as picking up another toy as you shop this year for your own Christmas list. It is that easy to help! Please find it in your heart to sponsor one or more these children this holiday season.
There are several ways that you can help. Sponsoring companies and individuals may elect to sponsor as little or as many children as they are able to with gift(s), sponsor a holiday party or for those busy individuals/companies with no extra time to spare – send a monetary contribution which will allow us to purchase gifts for these children. For those companies that put up a tree in their office for the holidays, we can provide gift tag ornaments to hang on your tree for your employees and/or company visitors to see. These tags contain the name, age and 3 gift suggestions made by the child for Christmas (unless the child is too young, or disabled and unable to make the suggestion in which case the foster parent makes the suggestions). The person simply purchases one suggestions on the tag and our staff comes by and picks up the donations prior to December 20th! Our staff then organizes these donations and distributes them to as many of these foster homes as possible. Considering the number of children we need to sponsor versus the low number of donations we anticipate this year, we are reaching out to everyone in the community for assistance. Without your assistance, providing this service to these children is impossible.”
PLEASE Consider helping us bless the children of our community!
During the winter months, your kids are not going to be happy staying cooped up indoors day in and day out. Sunlight is important for a growing child, and kids need to spend some time out of doors, even when it is cold outside.
There are all kinds of fun activities for kids to participate in during the winter. Most children love participating in winter sports such as hockey, figure skating, skiing, snowboarding, and broom ball. Others prefer going out and making snowmen or snow forts. All of these activities are a lot of fun, but there are also some risks associated with participating in winter sports and activities. You should definitely encourage your kids to get outside and get active when it is cold, but you’ll also want to take certain precautions in order to prevent illness and injury. Follow the tips listed below, and you’ll have a safe and enjoyable winter with your children.
Winter Safety Hazards:
As the weather gets colder, snowier and icier, kids and adults are more susceptible to certain types of injuries and illnesses. The immune system can be weakened by overexposure to the cold, thus leading to an increase in the common cold, the flu and more serious illnesses.
Even if it isn’t super cold out, the presence of snow and ice can be a major hazard for kids playing outside. A lot of accidents occur when kids slip on a patch of ice that they missed. Other children may get hurt while participating in various winter sports. Snowboarding in particular leads to a lot of injuries, such as abdominal trauma, broken bones and neck injuries. These usually happen when kids run in to trees, rocks or other snowboarders.
Just because these injuries and illnesses occur doesn’t mean it is a good idea to lock your kids inside all winter long. It is better to teach children about winter safety and then take the risk that they might get hurt. After all, getting hurt is a natural part of life, and it is impossible to avoid completely. A few other “101” reminders for you and your child:
Be wary of icicles
The steeper the hill, the greater the chance of injury
Snow Plows pose a serious safety threat
Snow forts will melt, break and collapse eventually
At Home:
Although it is great to bundle your kids up and send them outside, this will not always be possible. If there are subzero temperatures, super high wind chills, or worst of all, blizzards, you’ll want to keep the children indoors. While they are inside, there are certain precautions you can take to prevent illness. Have your children wash their hands frequently or use disinfectants when soap and water are not available. They should know to cover their mouths when coughing or sneezing and immediately go wash their hands afterwards. This will prevent germs and viruses from spreading to other family members.
If it is a little nicer out, you may decide to have your children help out with shoveling the snow. Just be careful that you aren’t asking super young children to help out, for they risk getting injured from the heavy load of shovels full of snow. When they are outside shoveling, be sure to check on your kids frequently to make sure they aren’t getting frostbite or hypothermia. If your child does end up with frostbite or hypothermia, it is imperative that you take him or her to the hospital immediately. Waiting too long may lead to serious repercussion, and even death.
Dressing for the Weather:
The best way to keep kids safe when they are outside is to have them bundled up in warm winter clothes. Avoid materials that will get wet in heavy snow. Your kids should wear coats, snow pants, hats, mittens, boots and scarves. Some parents have their children wear mittens with attached by a string. The string can be threaded through the sleeves of a child’s coat so that he or she won’t lose them.
You aren’t always going to be around to supervise your kids when they go outside, so make sure that they understand the importance of dressing for the weather. They may not realize how important it is to wear hats and mittens, but it would be pretty awful if they had to learn the hard way and get frostbite. Sometimes, older children and teenagers think that wearing warmer clothes is not “cool,” so they’ll go to great measures to keep light clothing on. It may help to take them shopping for winter clothes and let them pick something that they’d actually be willing to wear out in public. Sometimes, teens are just too embarrassed to wear the clunky wool mittens knitted by grandma. Better to have them in a pair of warm mitten that they’ll actually remember to wear. Winter Sports:
A lot of kids get injured while participating in winter sports. Before your kids go out somewhere to play, you should have an idea of what the location is like and whether it is safe. For example, if your children want to go sledding, you should know if there are a lot rocks or trees on the sledding hill. And if they are planning on going snowboarding or downhill skiing, it is good to have some idea of how extensive the slope’s snow patrol is. You don’t want your kid snowboarding somewhere where he or she can’t get help in the event of an injury.
These days, a lot of kids and teens get injured in snowmobiling accidents. Before a child goes out in a snowmobile, he or she should understand how to operate it and what to do in case of an emergency. Your child should always wear protective gear while snowmobiling, and must be under the supervision of a responsible adult.
So, if you’d like a damage-free child this winter, keep them within eye sight and be sure to take all the proper precautions when it comes to the winter season. A little extra vitamin C and soup wouldn’t hurt, and you can always avoid enormous doctor bills by making sure to instill your own applicable safety knowledge in any sort of physical activity or sporting event.
My husband and I had just gotten a new kitten, and she hadn’t quite mastered the litter box concept yet. She repeatedly urinated on the comforter on our bed, which doesn’t fit in our tiny washing machine, so every time she had an accident, we had to drag the huge comforter to the local laundromat, and sit there for an hour while we waited for it to wash and dry. One week, I had made three trips to the laundromat and I was feeling like I was at my wit’s end. I did not know what to do. Then I read something about pets; if they can smell even the faintest scent of their own urine somewhere, they will continually use that area as their bathroom. I knew that I needed to find something stronger to clean the urine smell out of my comforter completely, so I decided to give the Funk Rock Ammonia Bouncer a try. I thought, if it can work for diapers, why not bedding? I took one more trip to the laundromat, and I am so happy to say that I have not had to go back! The Ammonia Bouncer was easy to use, and worked like a charm. My comforter came out smelling fresher than ever, and my kitten has had zero accidents since then. I am so grateful to have found this product! I would recommend it to anyone who is having a similar problem. Awesome product!
