Toddler Room: Panton Chair, Toys and More

Do you have a kid who is starting to learn how to play games? Do you plan on building a playroom just for him to enjoy? Are you having problems on what to place inside this room once it is finished? If your answer to all these questions is a resounding yes, then you should continue reading.

In any type of room, proper furniture and fixtures should be placed to add life and beauty to the room. The same is the case when developing a toddler’s room for your child or children. Here are some of the objects which should be present inside the room:

  • Toys – These things should always be present inside the playroom. Aside from the fact that they are the primary entertainment of your kids, they also keep them busy while you are doing the dishes or ironing the clothes. However, you have to make sure that you only place those toys which have been certified safe for children.
  • Coloring materials – According to research, there are two main activities which children do inside a playroom – play or color. Once they get tired of playing, they will look for another activity that looks fun but does not require as much energy as playing does.
  • Books – If your child has already reached five or six years old, it would greatly help him if you would include some educational books to entertain him. Make sure to spend some quality time with him every once in a while.
  • Panton chair – A room would not be complete without a decent and quality piece of furniture that your kids can sit on. This particular chair is not only safe, but also comes in different colors.
  • Mat – A playing mat or foam is vital in any playroom. If possible, it should cover the entire floor area of the room to keep your kids away from injuries due to excessive playing.
  • Air conditioner – Of course, you would want your child to feel comfortable whenever he goes to the playroom. If this is not possible, two electric fans would do.
  • Miniature playground – This is definitely not a requirement, but if you can afford it, then make sure you provide it. You may place a small seesaw, swing, and slide inside the room to keep your child and his friends busy.

These are just some of the objects, things and pieces of furniture which you should include inside your child’s playroom the moment it is finished. Among all these factors, the Panton chair may be one of the most crucial. Getting a sturdy and stable chair is very important to avoid accidents and other untoward incidents.

This specific chair design has been developed several decades ago, yet it has still managed to become popular in this time and age. Sporting a future and space theme, the Panton chair is a chair that will definitely get the attention of kids. And because it has a unibody design, you would not need to worry about creaking parts and features which get damaged easily.

Ladies Night Out

Once in a blue moon I’ll go out with some friends to a bar/restaurant for dinner and drinks. I can’t afford to go out as often as I would like to, but we are all experiencing hard times at this point with the economy in crisis and all. I’m trying to save as much money as possible, when ever I can, so when we do head out we try and make it on a Ladies Night, where the drinks are  more affordable for all us.

Last week we decided it was due time for a ladies night out and we went to our favorite “hole in the wall” and had a blast. We had a designated driver and all went well. No fights broke out, no one got so drunk that they ended up throwing up in the ladies room or the parking lot and each of us were able to go to work the next morning without a hitch.

We really enjoy going to this “hole in the wall” bar/restaurant. The waitresses are always nice and the owners are really great people that are just trying to keep their doors open with the rising costs that they are having to deal with. So we don’t mind throwing our business to them, when we are able to. The only problem is that they don’t have any foot rails for the patrons that end up sitting at the bar, so much of the night was discussing the issue with the owners. I think we made our point, they have consented to looking into the matter for us. So the next time we go I hope that they will have found some that they can afford to have installed and we all should be happy!

Today’s Gift Baskets, A Great Gift Idea!

I’ve come up with a perfect gift giving idea to present my manager with at work on Friday. She is turning fifty and we have been planning a surprise party for her for the past several weeks, it should be a blast. Surprise parties are the best, especially when they really turn out to be a real surprise, which I think we have been able to pull off so far.

My manager and her husband are the proud parents of a new baby girl, so they don’t get to go out as often as they are used to being able to do, so I found a great selection of movie gift baskets on the Internet that I think will really float her boat and that they will both enjoy together.

She had the baby shortly before Mother’s Day, so we all started looking online at some nice Mothers day gift baskets to take over to her (being the new mom and all) and her new family, which was a big hit and earned us all brownie points, it was a success and  worked out real well. She is a great lady and we want to keep her happy, which will keep us all happy in the long run.

Womens Ski Jackets

A few months ago, a girlfriend of mine I work with was thinking about both of us going to Maine for a week for the past year or so, and stay at a ski resort and learn how to ski and or snowboard together. I thought it was a great idea, we were both in need of a vacation after a long hard year. We did come across a problem while planning our vacation though. Both of us needed a warm, thick, but stylish ski jackets, but neither of us knew where we could find any Womens Ski Jackets at a good price. So both of us took a night off after work from our busy lives, to sit down at the computer and search the net to see if we could come across any deals or good buys.

It didn’t take long at all for us to find the perfect site that we both really liked. Neither of us could decide which jacket to pick, they were all such great quality for such an awesome price.  We ended up randomly picking one they suited both of our personalities. It was immediately shipped to our homes and when I opened my package I was amazed at how nice it really was. We were both very satisfied with the results of our search. Our new jackets kept us warm and cozy couldn’t be any happier with our choice of ski jackets for us awesome trip to Maine and long after.

Once A Month Is Enough For Me

It seems that there are a large amount of people that are suffering from digestive issues, what a drag. I know a lot of people that are dealing with stomach issues, mainly IBS, that are always looking for new products to help them ease the discomfort that goes along with this imbalance issue.

One of the ladies at work is trying the product of threelac that she found online. It is a natural solution for digestion candida and yeast imbalance control. She misses a couple of days a month due to her stomach woes, I can really feel for her. OMG once a month my gut is on fire for three to five days, I can’t imagine dealing with pain any more than that whole period deal.

As far as thrush goes, that’s a whole different story to share at a later time, ugh……

 

A New Baby In The Family Expected in August

My sister Jenny is expecting their fourth child in August and she is just now starting to show her baby bump. You would think that since she already had three kids that being pregnant would be almost old hat by now. But this pregnancy was not exactly planned. It was a nice surprise. Jenny is a great mom and she loves doing things with her kids. After her last baby almost five years ago, she thought it WAS her last baby so she gave away all her maternity clothes. Now she needs to move out of regular clothes and into maternity clothes and money is really tight, so my family is going to pitch in and help her buy several things so she has nice clothes to wear to work.

As important as it is to have some nice work clothes to wear Monday through Friday, we also need to start looking for baby items as well. Yard sales and Flea Markets are always a great way to get a good amount of baby related items. But there are some things that are better off being bought brand new. And course there will be a couple of baby showers being held that will help out with numerous items as well. They will most likely through her one at work and of course friends and family will be planning on one as well, so that will help out with a lot of things for her and the baby. This is so exciting, we haven’t had a new baby in the family in quite a few years!

 

Online Tutoring Needs

Where was the Internet was I was back in school. I can’t even begin to imagine how different my education would have been if only the Internet had come along just a decade earlier. Today’s students can find Physics help, Chemistry help and Science help, along with all the other subjects that had us tearing our hair out back then, simply by going online.

I remember my physics tutor that was hired by my mother in her effort to provide me with some type of Physics problem solver. The tutor was this elderly lady who smelled of old fake fur. I just couldn’t get past the smell in order to concentrate enough to make her efforts worth while, so my mother finally decided to let her go. Strange how we remember things like that. I can’t remember her name, but I remember what she looked like and that smell will forever be embedded in my memory banks.

My niece is finding it necessary to find a Chemistry tutor. She has turned to the Internet to find some help. She is in her first year of college and is getting very frustrated with the whole college scene, bless her heart. She is the first one in her family to attend college and is giving it all that she has in order to make her parents proud and to make something out of herself.  She used to love science ( one thing that we have in common) it wasn’t uncommon for her to email or call me with some of her Science questions that she needed help with in High School. I always enjoyed science and that was our common bond for a long time. But now that she is in college I’m afraid it’s all a bit over my head.

I wish her all the luck in the world. It would be great to see her graduate and live a successful and prosperous life, then I could say that “I knew her when……”   LOL

Oregon’s Coast Line

Last year I discovered Oregon and fell in love with the state’s coast line. A good friend of mine from the internet has a lodge on the Pacific Coast, just outside of Portland, but after going out there and driving around discovering the Oregon coast, I found the Klamath Falls area and the Running Y Ranch resort. This area is perfect for southern Oregon weddings, family reunions and just a great getaway to enjoy the great outdoors. The Running Y Ranch has a grand lodge and conference center that is perfect for retreats, weddings and other large organized events. They are selling building lots, too, and the chalets have a great floor plan with either two or three bedrooms that makes a perfect weekend cabin. I am seriously considering a chalet and have looked at their floor plans that are posted online. There are large windows for enjoying the magnificent views, decks, fireplaces – everything a luxury yet rustic vacation in the great outdoors demands. I can own the chalet for my personal use and for friends or family who want to get away, or I can rent it out to tourists when I don’t need it for myself. This is the perfect place for me because not only can I spend my days fly fishing in the Klamath Basin, but I can play a round of golf just steps from the Lodge. The resort has also made arrangements with a variety of local outfitters and guides who can provide everything from a day on horseback to guided ATV trail rides. I’ve not done any white water rafting in years, but this might be the year to get wet again. There is so much to do and enjoy that just one week at the Running Y Ranch isn’t going to be enough time to fit it all in.

Life Is A Challenge

Something that I have picked up the years is a few slight of the hand magic tricks, it is something that has brought me much amusement and entertainment in some pretty nerve racking moments in this life time. I have to admit that most of my audiences have been with children, but I do a pretty good job of pulling things out of various places, while “pulling the wool” over my captivated audience. My favorite item to use is one of the many challenge coins that I have collected throughout the years. Sometimes is is a challenge in itself trying to get the coin back!

So many of my friends have kids or close family members that are of childhood age and it has been a good ice breaker with many of these kids through out the years, and I’m so ever grateful for that!

I was looking on-line the other day and came across a website for magic and found myself interested in some products that they have to offer like an Invisible Deck, invisible threads, several coin tricks that I’m interested in and you can even view a demo video right on their site, showing the trick being done, that’s cool to be able to see how the trick or slight of hand is actually performed.

I’m thinking on branching out just a bit, maybe order something and practice until perfected and try them on the next unexpected soul that ends up being at my mercy some evening.

Reputable Surgeons at Realistic Prices in the U.K.

As I’ve mentioned on numerous occasions here, I have been experiencing a weight issue all my life. I have heard some great stories about some of the procedures that are now available for folks like myself and have decided to start doing a bit of research on Cosmetic Surgery. A few of my friends and co workers have had the lap band surgery that is all the rage, I don’t think that I would be a good candidate for that particular procedure, but I do think that I might possibly be a good candidate for some good old liposuction.

People are going over seas for a lot of their cosmetic surgery these days. You can get much better prices in the U.K., and I’d have no problem taking a quick trip over there myself. I have some relatives over there that have issued me an open door invitation that I could take advantage of, so I could kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. I would love to see them and be able to see where they live and take care of my weight issue once and for all. Something that I definitely want and need to look into possibly after the holiday season is over and done with.
