Mamma Musings

The Pacific Northwest is one of the most fabulous places to enjoy year-round activities with the family. Many native Oregonians remain here and just as many move here to experience everything the wonderful state of Oregon has to offer. From weekend day-trips to the coast or Mount Hood and longer excursions to Crater Lake or the Wallowa Mountains, there are countless family activities to encounter.

And while we want to explore every naturally magnificent nook and cranny, sometimes you’re just looking for a more relaxing weekend with a mix of local family activities and spare time to snuggle together on the couch.

And what are you going to do with those energetic kids when it starts raining this fall? Here are five ideas to keep them (and you) entertained for hours.

Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI)

If you want a place where kids are encouraged to be rambunctious and curious, where they can run around touching things with abandon, all the while engaging in activities that are fun and educational, then your next energy-burning indoor activity must be a trip to OMSI.

If you have kids that range in age from 0 to 6 years old, then consider becoming a member, and you can visit the Science Playground for free as often as your heart desires.

Or explore each section of the museum during your visit. In the infant area, you’ll find soft carpet and toys that encourage motor skill development. Those a little bit bigger will have fun crawling through the roots of a giant tree, exploring a hollow log, or venturing into a cave as they learn about animals. And all kids will enjoy the sandpit. Then, as they get bigger, explore the literacy and hands-on discovery areas.

Are your kids older than 6? Then head to the Kendall Planetarium, Life Lab, Paleontology Lab, Science on a Sphere, and various rotating exhibits that emerge throughout the year.

Playdate PDX

Do you remember climbing on nets, scooting through tubes, and navigating twists and turns in tunnels, all to find the best slide on a playground? Well, this might be a thing of the past for you, but your kids will have an absolute blast when you visit Playdate PDX.

This place offers three levels of fun for the kids, and parents are welcome visitors too. In fact, this truly is a favourite indoor family activity, as you can sip on your favourite local beer or glass of wine, or a hot coffee or tea, while your children run around having the time of their lives—a true win-win!

In addition to the playground, make sure to come when you can catch the Dragon Theatre Puppet Show, which features a diverse lineup, including Rapunzel Redeems Rumpelstiltskin, Arcade Universe, and Little Bugs Big World.

Looking for a deal? Kids are welcome for free after 5:00 p.m. every Monday. Or visit on the last Wednesday of every month and receive free entry for each kid when you donate two canned good items.

Pump It Up

If your kids are 12 and under, then a must-visit location to burn off their excess energy is Pump It Up in Beaverton. Known as a top destination for birthday and big group parties, it also hosts open jumps where kids are welcome to run around and be a little wild.

This is the place for them to release that pent-up energy and hop, skip, jump, flop, and plop their way around the inflatable arena.

Want to take it up a notch? Attend a special event like the Glow Open Jump. Your kids will be able to climb, bounce, and slide around with the disco and laser lights on and lights out. This all-ages event comes with a glow necklace with every admission.

Pump It Up also hosts Sensory Jump Night where it caters to kids with disabilities so that everyone can find time to have fun in a safe and controlled environment.

Roller Skating at Oaks Park

Do you remember going roller-skating after school or maybe on the weekends with your friends growing up? Remember when it was all the rage to wear rollerblades? Recall the slow dance song when you hoped to buddy up with your grade-school crush?

You can create new skating memories with your little (or maybe not-so-little-anymore) tykes. Get out on that roller rink and show your kids how it’s done—and that you have some talents they don’t even know about yet—during an open-skate session, Tuesday through Sunday, all year long.

Worried your kids are too young for the open skate? Try out the Preschool Play & Skate or Kids’ Morning Skate instead, and then head back on date night for Adult Rhythm Skate or Gay Skate.

Langer’s Entertainment Center

Want to try something totally new with your family this fall? Something with a little bit of everything for everyone? Then have we got the energy-burning activity for you at Langer’s! Yes, the farm has been around Sherwood for more than a century, but fall 2019 represents a new chapter in our family history as we’ve just opened our brand-new, family-friendly Langer’s Entertainment Center.

All are welcome here, where the youngest will enjoy the soft play area and the bigger kids will want to try out the high ropes courses, rock-climbing wall, and laser tag. And don’t forget the arcade—with over 50 games and fun for all! The older kids-at-heart can enjoy a cold one in the Tack Room or a delicious hot chocolate or speciality coffee from the Thunder Mountain Cabin. Then reconvene for an epic family face-off in bowling.

Once it’s time to start settling down for the day, head over to the restaurant and choose from diverse menu options where everyone will find something they crave. And then settle in for a little relaxing around the indoor campfire.

Visit  Sherwood just off Pacific Highway West, a quick 30 minutes from Portland or Beaverton for the top family activities indoors and out.

Caring for teenagers can be a challenging experience. As your youngster gets older, they’ll start to learn more about the world around them. This includes learning about money, debts, and saving.

As a parent or care provider, you can play a crucial role in shaping the way that your child behaves with money. After all, the chances are that your child won’t get much of an education on managing their cash at school. Whether your teenager has recently started asking for more cash to go out with their friends, or they’re just starting their first job, there are various steps you can take to help set them up for success.

Here are our top tips on helping teenagers and students to manage their money.

Give Teenagers Responsibility Early

To help children understand the value and importance of money, it’s crucial to introduce them to how cash works, and how important it is to spend only what they can afford. Providing your teenager with regular pocket money so that they can learn the basics of spending and saving cash is a great way to get started. A regular dose of pocket money acts like a kind of wage – you can even ask your child to complete certain tasks like cleaning their room to get their pocket money each week.

Once your child has their pocket money, avoid giving them extra cash for the things that they can’t afford. Though it might be hard to say no at first, being strict will show your child that if they want to make bigger purchases, they need to save.

Set the Right Example

Most teenagers and children will mimic their parents’ behaviour when it comes to learning about saving and spending. That doesn’t mean that you need to be perfect with your spending habits – we all make mistakes at times – but it does mean thinking carefully about the example you set. For instance, while you might need to take out a personal loan from time to time, you shouldn’t be getting a loan or using a credit card for every expense. Show your child that you know how to save and deal with delayed gratification too.

Setting the right example could even be as simple as inviting your child to join you as you search for the best deal on your car insurance or compare your options for a new broadband provider. As your child gets older and starts to learn more about money, you can even get them involved in your budgeting efforts.

Help Your Teenager to Develop a Savings Habit

Learning about living within your means, and saving is one of the most crucial lessons that a teenager can get. With that in mind, take advantage of every opportunity you get to show your child the value of saving. For instance, the next time your child asks you for a new game, don’t just give them the cash they want, sit down with them and figure out how many weekly pocket monies they’re going to need to be able to afford the item they want.

If your teenager comes to you and tells you that they want a car, work with them to figure out how much owning that car is going to cost and help them to find a job that will allow them to pay for the expenses.

Get Used to Talking about Money

One of the worst things you can do is a parent is keeping your teenager out of your financial conversations. As your child begins to ask for more money, or show any interest in cash, get them involved in the monthly budgeting process. Show them how you afford the monthly bills by carefully organising your cash into different segments each month.

If you take out loans to pay for certain items, make sure that your child understands that those loans come at a price. Although they allow you to pay for things over time, they also require you to pay a certain level of interest each month. Talking transparently about money will pave the way for a better relationship with finances for your child.

Help Them Manage Their First Wage

Finally, when your teenager does take on their first job, make sure that they understand the value of the money that they’re earning. Encourage them to think about their purchases not just in terms of how much an item costs, but also in the context of how many hours they would have to work to replenish what they spend.

When your child gets their first job, this is also a great time to sit down with them and think about their long-term goals, like buying a car, or going on holiday with their friends, and how they can save for those things.

Finding the perfect outfit for any social occasion can be overwhelming, but no more so than for a wedding. Not only do you only have one chance to get it right, but chances are, you’re going to be in a lot of photographs. And, if you are part of wedding party, this is especially true, so the last thing you want is an outfit you will regret. 

So, here are a few important points to consider when dressing yourself for the big day. 

Consider the Weather

Depending on the month of the wedding and whether the wedding is abroad, you need to prepare for the weather. You will need to dress formally no matter what, but you may need to consider extras such as a formal coat to pop on and off or a plain umbrella. You should also make style choices to suit the weather, such as whether long sleeves will be too hot or if a strapless dress would leave you exposed to the elements. 

Consider Your Role

Whether you’re a bridesmaid, maid of honour, mother of the bride or guest, there is plenty to consider when it comes to dressing for a wedding. It’s usually the case when preparing for a wedding that you purchase your outfit far in advance, especially in the case of bridesmaids, who may need a fitting. It’s important to consider your lifestyle choices when thinking about your outfit. You need to ensure you get the correct size for the wedding day itself, so if you’re planning on losing any weight before the wedding, you may need to consider a size smaller. You also need to choose a store that caters for your size range, so that you can get a flattering plus size mother of the bride dress, for example.

Besides the outfit you’ll be wearing during the ceremony itself, you may want to consider what you’ll also be wearing before or after the wedding. If you’re the bride, personalized satin robes are a great idea for your bridesmaids. Personalized satin robes for bridesmaids give them a nice outfit during prep time before the ceremony when they’re having their hair and makeup done. The satin robes won’t ruin their hair and makeup when they need to change and make it easier to get into their dresses. The robes will also look great in pictures. And after the wedding, the satin robes can serve as your gifts or souvenirs for your bridesmaids

Consider the Location

The wedding style should be about personal taste, of course, but it will usually take into account the venue. This is particularly important when it comes to guests choosing their shoes and the length of their dress or skirt. If the venue is a more rural location, for instance, you may need to move across grass, and this can be problematic with a high pair of heels and a skirt that drapes along the floor. Once you know the location and venue, you can plan the most practical outfit suitable for it. 

Consider What the Bride is Wearing

It’s a generally accepted rule that any wedding guest should never wear white to a wedding. However, you may also want to consider the design of the bride’s dress, too. You don’t want your wedding outfit to be too similar, even if it’s a different colour. Of course, the chances of getting an identical dress to the bride are pretty slim, especially if the bride has opted for a big, princess dress, but if the bride’s taste is more toned down and simple, such as a floaty maxi dress, for example, you may want to opt for a midi option.

Starting school means many new changes for your child. They will need to learn their way around a much bigger space than nursey and they will need to get to know new teachers and new friends. They will also need to adjust to a new school routine and learn how to be more independent.

All of these changes can come as quite a shock for some children; however, there are many ways that parents can help to prepare their children for the transition from nursery to school. 
To help you get started, here are some helpful tips from Taunton School

Get familiar

It is important to get to know your child’s new school as early as possible, in order to help them settle in quicker. Take your child along to open days and events at the school to help them learn their way around. It is also a good idea to arrange a visit on a normal school day, so that your child can get an idea of what to expect from daily school life. You can also find useful information on the school website, such as uniform requirements or term dates.

Show support

Your child is bound to feel nervous about starting their new school. Show your support by letting them know that what they are feeling is normal and relate it to a time when you felt the same. This could be when you started school or a new job. Then move on to another good memory from that day to reinforce a positive outlook. Talk to your child about some of the positive changes they can expect from school, such as bigger playgrounds or choosing books from the school library.

Encourage independence

Finally, one of the most useful things you can do to prepare your child for school is to make sure they are comfortable doing simple tasks by themselves. This includes: dressing and undressing, putting on and taking off shoes, as well as going to the toilet and washing their hands.

Every parent hopes that their child will enjoy school and happily run into class when the bell goes. However, in reality school can be a very challenging environment for children and some may find it harder than others to settle.

To help you to assess your child’s happiness at school, it is important to regularly ask your child about their school life and carefully observe their behaviour. Here are some great tips from Mill Hill School on what to look out for…

Mornings

In the morning, is your child happy to get ready for school and do they leave the house without a fuss? School mornings are always a rush and are often a stressful time for parents, however, unless your child seems worried or upset about going to school, you shouldn’t feel concerned.  If your child does appear reluctant to go to school or regularly complains of feeling unwell, then this behaviour should be closely monitored, as it could be a sign of a problem at school.

Home time

At home time is your child keen to talk about their day? Do they want to share interesting facts that they have learnt in the classroom? Or tell you about what they have planned for tomorrow?
This is a good sign and shows that your child is interested and actively involved in their lessons.   If your child seems unusually quiet and reluctant to talk about school then there could be an issue that needs your attention.

Homework

When your child comes home with homework are they keen to get it done? Do they want to show off their skills? If your child is happy to receive homework and keen to do it independently, then this is a really good sign that your child is happy at school and enjoying their current topics.  Should you notice your child avoiding homework or missing deadlines, then it is time to intervene. Your child may simply find the current work difficult and require extra support.

There are many ways in which parents can help their children to make the most of their education and perform well at school. A great place to start is by taking an interest in your child’s school life. The more supported a child feels at home, the more effectively he or she will perform at school.

To help your child to make the most out of their education, here are a few great tips from Manor Lodge School

1. Always show encouragement towards school and learning and show appreciation for your child’s achievements to help boost their confidence. 
2. Help to develop a love of learning, by demonstrating that learning can happen anywhere, not just in the classroom. This can be achieved by simply observing the wildlife in your own garden.

3. Explain the importance of learning and talk together as a family about what you have learnt every day. This will motivate your child to listen in class.
4. Create a calendar for your child to help them to prepare for exams and homework. This will also help to develop your child’s organisation and time management skills.
5. Try not to set your expectations too high and instead allow your child to develop at their own pace. By putting too much pressure on children you can negatively affect their academic performance and cause stress.
6. When helping with homework, try to give your child helpful feedback instead of criticism. This means helping your child to think about different ways of solving questions.
7. Get to know your child’s teachers and try to be a part of the school community. This will show your child how much you care about their education. 
8. Encourage your child to ask questions and teach you about interesting things they have learnt. Get them to role play being the teacher. Repeating what the teacher has explained in class will help to store this information in their memory.
9. Support your child’s literacy skills by regularly reading with them. This could be reading a story at bedtime or asking your child to read a recipe while you cook together.
10. Learn together in your free time by visiting interesting places like museums, or by using educational online resources.

When your precious newborn that is wearing one of the most adorable baby clothes cannot stop crying and you are trying to soothe him or her the best way you can – it is a frustrating experience. You try feeding him or her, rocking the baby, or holding the baby and nothing works. There are times when babies do need to cry for the sake of exercising their lungs as it is a necessary part of their development. There is nothing that you can do to soothe them for that. In that case, it really is the best approach for them to cry it out in their crib or bassinet because that is what they really do need to do. However, let’s look over the variety of reasons that babies cry and what you can do to respond.

The Baby Is Hungry

This is the obvious reason for a baby to cry. The younger the baby is, the more often they will be hungry as their stomachs are tiny and can only hold so much in, and they get hungry again fast. That is why they cry often. If your baby is crying out of hunger, there usually are other signs that support that which is lip-smacking and moving a hand to the mouth. 

They Want To Suck Something

Babies that cry may only want to suck on something. If you offer them a bottle or if you try to nurse them but they move away from it, then that means they are not hungry. If you give them a pacifier and they are quieted down, then that is all they wanted. Sometimes babies will cry just for the purpose of wanting something to suck on. And it happens a lot because sucking is soothing to them as they did a lot of that in the womb. 

They Feel Lonely

Babies do want company and the one thing that they can only do to let you know that they want some company is that they cry because that is the only way they are able to communicate. If you try feeding your baby, and the baby resists, and if you try to give your baby a pacifier and spits it out after, try holding your baby against the chest. If the infant quiets down after, then that is exactly why the baby was crying. He or she was lonely and wanted to be held.

They Are Tired

If you have a crying baby and you have tried to hold him or her but it doesn’t help, you have tried to feed the infant but the baby is not interested, and you gave the baby a pacifier but again, he or she wasn’t interested – then there is another reason that the baby is crying. He or she is simply tired. Again, the baby has no idea how to communicate this fact and will cry when or he or she is tired. And the best thing that you can do is rock your him or her and then put your baby into the crib and bassinet. If he or she falls asleep quickly, then that is why the baby was crying in the first place. Newborns need over 16 hours of sleep a day because they are growing. It is just in intervals as they need to be fed, changed, and need company often in between. 

They Are Wet Or Have A Soiled Diaper

One of the first things that many parents do when their baby begins to cry is to check their diaper, however, sometimes they can urinate often and if it was dry a few minutes ago, it can be wet at any time. A wet, or a soiled diaper is uncomfortable to sit in for a prolonged period of time and that will most definitely cause the baby to cry! 

They Want To Be Swaddled

Newborns feel the most secure when they are swaddled and as a result, if they are not, they will cry. If you try feeding and comforting your infant in other ways but it doesn’t work, then all your baby may want is swaddling. This will bring them the comfort they need and bring them back to those comfort memories as well of being in the womb as they were in that position for 9 months or so. 

They Are Hot Or Cold

Babies who are not comfortable temperature-wise will cry. If you are feeling cold, then there is a good chance that your baby is as well. And the rule of thumb is to place one extra layer on the baby if the baby is wearing clothing that would be comparable to what you are wearing. That means if your baby is wearing those cute baby onesie sayings clothes that have the same thickness as your clothing and the baby seems cold – then put a light jacket on. If the baby is warm, then remove a layer. You don’t want your baby to become overheated.  

Never neglect a high temperature as it could be a sign of something else at play. For peace of mind it is always worth getting it checked out. Even when im travelling I always make a point of knowing where the  pediatric urgent care near me is located.

They Want To Get Moving

Often babies cry because they hate being still and want motion. This means they will want to be rocked or they will want to be taken out on a stroll. If the baby quiets down after getting some movement, then that was the reason that he or she was crying. 

Remember again that the only ways that babies can ever communicate their needs are by crying. Yes, it is distressful to parents because it involves a lot of guesswork and there is the worry that the baby is sick. And that is a reason that the baby is crying as well but that is the last thing to be assumed. Eventually, you will get the reason right as far as why the baby is crying. And often what happens is that over time a baby will develop their own unique cries for their own different needs which will eliminate a lot of stress. That is because when the baby develops their own cries for different things, the parents will know!

Good organisation is key to a stress-free routine, particularly with regards to the morning school run. Below are some tips from an independent school in London to help parents master a good school routine.

The first rule of thumb is to always prepare everything the night before; homework, school bags, packed lunch and uniform. Anything that you or your child will need in the morning should be ready before you all go to bed. As a result, all you’ll have to do is eat breakfast, brush your teeth and get dressed, which should take no time at all. You can even go as far as planning breakfast.

If you want everything to run smoothly in the mornings, getting enough sleep is vital, so encourage your kids to have an early night. You’re all far more likely to wake up on time, feeling refreshed, if you’ve had a sufficient amount of sleep. 

As a parent, it’s a good idea to be up and ready before your children so that you can dedicate your time completely to helping them once they wake up. Once organisation and great timekeeping has become a habit for you, you’ll notice it becoming increasingly easier for you all. The trick is not to panic or rush; it’s better to be 5 minutes late and have everything in order than be on time but half dressed. 

Make sure you have a plan of action for after school that your kids are also well aware of. They’ll need to know who’s picking them up and what time or they might require some change for the bus. Either way, it should all be planned in advance. Encourage them to prioritise their homework, but be sure to reward them and let them have some leisure time once it’s complete.

For most of us, moving house is a very exciting time, albeit a stressful one. Whether you’re upping sticks and relocating to a totally different part of the country, or simply moving to a bigger and better house just a few streets away, the actual moving process can be exhausting both physically and mentally.

So how long does it actually take? That depends on a lot of things – namely how many people there are in your household, how much stuff you collectively own and where you’re moving it to.

There are, however, ways to make the whole process easier and faster, which we’ll outline here.

How you can make the moving process less stressful

Very much like packing for a holiday, you don’t want to leave it till the last minute before you start packing your belongings away. Even if you think you don’t have that many possessions, you’ll think otherwise when you’re working against the clock.

It’s best to start packing things away bit by bit in the lead-up to the big day.

Supplies for head-start packing

First, get yourself stocked up on the following:

• Strong cardboard boxes designed specifically for removals
• Bubblewrap
• Parcel tape (maybe even some ‘FRAGILE’ tape)
• Good household scissors

You can find all of these things at places like Wilko, stationery shops and, of course, Amazon or eBay. 

Things to pack in advance

Then, once you’re equipped, start spending 30-60 minutes each day (depending on how much stuff you have) wrapping and packing items that you won’t need to use until you’ve moved into the new place. Think the following:

• Excess plates, bowls, cutlery, mugs, drinking-glasses, etc.
• Books, DVDs, CDs and other media
• Clothes and footwear (especially things that don’t apply to the current weather/season!)

Furniture and other essential items (like entertainment devices and kitchen appliances) can and should wait until moving day – otherwise you’ll be living a pretty spartan existence for the last few days or weeks in your old house.

How you can speed the home-moving process up

The journey from your old house to your new house will unfortunately take as long as it takes – there’s no way to safely speed that up.

Work methodically if your DIY’ing it

Many people who are moving locally choose to rent a van and make a few trips. You can hire a regular Transit-type van or opt for a ‘Luton’ van – the latter being the largest type that you can rent with a regular UK driver’s licence. In any case, you’ll need to be strategic about the order in which you do things, because you’ll probably have to make more than one trip.

It might be wise to dedicate the first journey to moving just your furniture and other large items (such as fridges, washing machines, etc.), so that you can put them roughly in place before you bring over all your other bits and bobs. If you are lucky enough to fit everything in the van in one go, make sure your furniture goes in last.

Hire professional movers

By far the easiest and least stressful way to move is by paying pros to come and do it for you. Not only do they do all of the heavy lifting and all of the maneuvering around tight spaces, but they also have the expertise to pack your belongings securely and safely.

Twilley Removals is a professional removals company in London, with more than 100 years of proud history, and a certified member of the British Association of Removers (BAR). So, if you’re going to hire a moving firm, make sure you go with a reputable option.

Many of us struggle with stubborn flabby belly and exercising sometimes do not help. No matter how slim a woman is, the tummy would always have a bit of roll. Hands up if you would like to slim and control the tummy bulges. What you need is high waist shapewear. This amazing shaping garment is rising in popularity because of its ability to offer a sleek firm look. High waist shapewear can effectively flatten the tummy and waist area instantly.

Shapewear is an awesome invention but it can be overwhelming to choose what is best especially when faced with so many options today. How do we know what is the best plus size waist trainer?  How do we decide which will work best for our bodies?

How To Choose The Best High Waist Shaper

Below is a guide on how to choose the best high waist shapewear for women.

Which area are you trying to enhance or correct?

The first thing is to determine which part of your body you would like to hide or enhance. If you are searching for shapewear that can shape the entire torso then a bodysuit is ideal. There are bodysuits that feature an open bust that will actually lift your breasts and you will have to wear your own bra. A bodysuit that covers the chest will be able to minimize a larger chest. For shapewear that eliminates panty lines, slims the tummy, hips and rear, a pair of shaping panty is what you need.  If you would like to have slimmer thighs, go for a boyshort shapewear.

Where Are You Wearing The Shapewear To?

You have to first determine if you are wearing the shapewear on a daily basis, on special occasions or for your gym workout. For waist training workouts, then you may want to check out the best waist trainer for women. It is ideal for those who want an hourglass figure. There are also high-waisted shapewaer leggings that you can actually work out in. If you want something for everyday use, then you can look for a seamless shaping bodysuit, mid-thigh body shaper or panty shaper.

What Are You Wearing The Body Shaper With?

Another factor to take into consideration is what are you wearing the shapewear with.  Are you looking for one that can be worn under a dress? If you are worried about visible panty lines when wearing body-hugging dress, a better choice would be thong shapewear bodysuits.
