Birthday is always special especially when it is kid’s birthday.  Parents always want to celebrate their kid’s birthday in a best memorable way to show their affection and thus here are birthday boosters to rock kids’ party in kids’ friendly way:

• Limit Your Guests List: Grand doesn’t always mean big. Kids are comfortable with friendly faces so invite limited known faces for the party. Invite your kid’s friends as many as you can and if your kid has big friends list limit it with her/his favorite ones. This will be beneficial in two ways 1. Your kid will freely enjoy the party 2. It will be more economic.  So restrict guests list to throw an economic and effortless party for you and your kid.

• Comfortable Birthday Dress: Birthday dress for kid is really a big thing to talk about. Normally as grown-ups we want to look them best but actually birthday is not for looking best it’s for looking happy and happiness cannot come without comfort. If your kid is younger than 3 years there is no need to make her/him fashion icon, just put on her/his favorite comfortable dress and s/he will be ready to enjoy the party. If your kid is above 3 years then try to get the dress of her/his choice. Try to make your kid’s dress as much light as you can so your kid can be comfortable in that and can enjoy with their full charm. Don’t ask your kid to wear matching accessories, yes if you think their choice is not comfortable then try to convince them by giving comfortable options. Remember your kid’s birthday party is for fun not a fashion show.
• Add Excitements: Kids loves balloons and bubbles. If you don’t want to invest much just do balloon decoration by your selves and if you think you can’t do that and it will look simple and so on then I will say for kids balloons are excitement not the way of arrangement so just blow the balloon and stick it the way you want or just put some balloons on the floor randomly and see how happily they will play with it and the biggest fun will be bursting the balloons. Bubbles are also very exciting just get the biggest bubble maker (automatic will be the best choice) and blow bubbles as a show stopper of your party.
• Kid’s Friendly Menu: Normally parents want lavish menu and because of that they ignore kid’s favorites. Yes of course you can make royal food but don’t forget to make that royal meal interesting and kid’s friendly too. After all from party we don’t want our kid to go back to home with empty stomach.

• Engage With Activity: For younger kids bubbles balloons and music are enough. You can add some more spice with jumping net. For kids above 4 years kids games are fun. Magician, puppet show, tattoo, mehandi and many more can be good attraction.  If you don’t want to do all these then just play the music and let them rock the dance floor.
• Personalized Return Gift: Return gift is not must but if you want to spend on that give it a personal touch to make it memorable. Hand maid return gifts are also very popular. In fact if your kid is elder than 3 years s/he too will enjoy birthday bash by helping you in return gifts.

We wish our party ideas will add flavors to your birthday bash.

It was a normal busy morning when my 5 years old daughter Trisha entered in kitchen and turned our routine conversation into an amusing complement:

My husband “Did you pack lunch box for Trisha?”

I replied “yes”

My Husband “Did you pack fruits for you?”

I replied “Yes”

My husband “Did you pack breakfast for you?”

I replied “yes”

and when he was about to ask one more question

My daughter Trisha who was watching all this interrupted him

and said ” Daddy don’t worry, mummy knows everything… she remembers every thing !!!”

And after listening to her we both started smiling.

This is really The best complement for mummy. Thank you very much Shivangi for sharing your amusing experience with us.

This is the conversation which today I had with Garima who is 4 years old presently.

I was walking down towards trash bins to throw away all days trash and she was helping me by carrying a small trash bag.

We had to go thrift parking lot and suddenly a car came towards us, I told her to come the other side.

Garima said “Oh the car may come to me and will bite me and I will fell down then you need to buy new Garima!!!”

(I laughed after hearing this)

I asked “who will have to buy new Garima …?”

Garima said “you”

I asked “from where …?”

Garima replied “from Garima store!!!”

This is really a sweet and an innocent conversation of Garima. Thank you very much Khyati for sharing your sweet experience with us.

5 years is a big milestone; your kids learned a lot from crayons to clay, beads to blocks, tricycle to scooter, words to full story, parallel play to team work and now they have become your friends too. Before they reach their 5^th birthday they will be sure about their likes and dislikes, now they really know what they want and what not and that’s why we can say now they are individuals just like us. They can intellect the things very well but of course their choice can be manipulated. For example: If their best friend likes okra in lunch, they too will start loving that. If mother’s favorite color is yellow, they too will love yellow so don’t forget to encourage them to stick to their choice and help them to understand that every individuals can have different likes and dislikes.

Family games like Jingo, Mikado, Uno, snack n ladder, junior scramble and many more are their best interest. Now they can accompany you in a real manner they laugh with you they cry with you they walk with you they exercise with you they eat with you and the best part uis they can make conversation with you!!! Well many things to say about 5 years but here we will focus on what they really love to do? What makes them happy? And what gives them pride to feel like big kid? (In fact now they don’t like to consider themselves in kids group!!!)

1. Rituals and Celebrations: 5 years kids really enjoy celebrations and so they will actively participate in all the rituals and celebrations. They will come out with their new ideas to make your celebration more interesting. If you will listen to them carefully you will understand their plans are also relevant and realistic. If you will choose something from their plans they will feel proud and will help you in entire planning. Better to include your new event planner by adding their favorite flowers to balloons, venue to menu and invite their guests too to thrive your party.
2. Family outing: Tea party, Picnic, Camping, Family games and even 3-4 days outing is their best interest. They will surely tell you how much they enjoyed there and will ask you for next weekend plans too. Beach trees stones and animals are their special interest. Plan at least one or two days of your month to explore nature with your kid.
3. Cooking: House hold chores like cleaning and laundry they might not like now but watering plants and cooking will be their new interest. If you will let them help you in cooking , next time they will surely tell you exact ingredients and recipe to make the same dish!!! Let them add water and salt when you are making dough, let them stir, let them serve the way they want to introduce new chef of your kitchen. Making juice, sandwich, cookies and salad are fun for them.
4. Shopping: Oh my god this new shopping expert is best helper I have ever seen. They will follow your exact instructions!!! Before going to shop tell them where you are going to buy what and see how they remember everything!!! You may need your checklist but they don’t. If you will say we need 10 potatoes they will pick exactly 10 neither 9 nor 11. Grocery shopping with kids is big fun for me.
5. Fashion: New fashionista is ready with his/her fashion tips. If you are planning to get new makeup or clothes for you, don’t forget to take them with you. They will surely acknowledge your new look with their creative mind. You may not know but they will surely add charm in you beauty. Once my little one told me to add eye makeup (which I never did as I am not a makeup lover) in my makeover and when I really did that I felt awesome. Use their tips and enjoy the difference!!!

So go ahead and enjoy with your kids as now you are having your all-time favorite friends with you.

HAVE A HAPPY TIME

Once I was reading a bedtime story for my 3 years old daughter on “Toothache” and in that there was a line “Girl says I am having terrible toothache.” When I read that line to my little one an interesting conversation happened because of her cute curious mind.

Swara:  What is terrible mama?

Mama: Actually girl wants to say she is having too much toothache baby.

After finishing a story mama gave her kiss and said goodnight

Swara: Good night mama love you terrible!!!

Mama: what baby?

Swara: You said terrible means too much I love you too much I love you terrible……

Mama couldn’t control her laughter and conclude the conversation.

This is a story of a girl who is 5 years old now and as we are celebrating her 5^th birthday, we are inviting cute conversations from all the parents. You can write your experience to fosterfeel@gmail.com with the name, age and photo of your kid and we will publish it on forstefeel.com->cute conversations->kids name on every Tuesday.

Pregnancy is a big pleasure and if you want to enjoy it thoroughly you should be healthy. When you get pregnant you think of a healthy kid but to deliver a healthy child, mother should be healthy first (Physically and Mentally). With the love and care of family and friends it is easy to accomplish. Here are 10 tips to ease your body and mind during pregnancy:

1. Stay Happy: If you are happy inside, you will be stronger outside. “Happiness attracts good things” so if you want to welcome your child in pleasant environment STAY HAPPY. Try to explore all the excitements of trimesters and I am sure you will be happy to recall this memory in later years.
2. Nutritious Food: There is a say “ whatever you eat will reach to your baby and so that taste will go to her mouth and because of that after her birth your child will like whatever you had during pregnancy!!!” well myth or truth I don’t know but in my case it was truth. My little one couldn’t eat orange till her 3^rd birthday as I couldn’t eat oranges during the pregnancy!!! Well believe it or not it is up to you but one thing is proven that you have to take nutritious food to nourish your body and baby. As now you are feeding two lives you have to eat more and healthy. Don’t forget to add vitamins pills recommended by doctors.
3. Increase Fluid Intake: Your body needs more than 2 litter (64 ounces) water in a day to keep you hydrated. Plus milk, juice and/or any other fluid of your choice after every two hrs of work. Try to avoid juice and coffee as caffeine is not good for your baby and juice comes with lots of sugar.
4. Eat in Bowl: Eat small meals in regular interval especially if you have nausea, vomit or diabetes. Eat dry nuts like almonds or walnuts with your meal as they are full of protein and controls glucose level in your blood.
5. Take Short Breaks: Tiredness in pregnancy is very common and it will go easily if you will take rest before your body demands. Try to take breaks of 10 to 15 mins from your work after every 2 hrs. During this 10 mins break either lay down or sit in a comfortable chair which supports your legs too. Small walk to free your legs is also a nice option.
6. Avoid unnecessary medicines: Antibiotics are not for you as you are going to give a birth to new life. Cold cough headache constipation heartburn all these things will be settled down with the time and little care.  You need not to take medicines for these inconveniences. Menthol is strictly restricted not only for you but for your partner too.
7. Little Physical Activity: Gym is of course not for you now but yes there are some light exercise which you can do in pregnancy too. So if you are fond of exercise surf the Google or YouTube and I am sure you will find your favorite option in that.Well if you are not interested in exercise, you can go for walk. Little exercise is always recommended but don’t stretch your body beyond your limit.
8. Meditation or Relaxation Techniques: Yoga and meditation is very good choice to de-stress. There are some relaxation techniques too which will really help you to relax your body especially in contractions. Breathing is the best one.
9. Stay Cool: Take bath in warm water, as hot water is not good for womb.  Don’t forget to pour warm water on your breasts. If possible take bath before going to bed too. You can use kid’s bed time bubble wash as it is really mild and lightly scented and thus enough to sooth your body and mind.
10. Avoid Long Traveling: Travelling is uncomfortable as well as risky in certain conditions. Try to avoid long journey (car/bus/train/flight) especially in first and third trimester. In fact in third trimester many flights don’t allow you to travel without doctor’s written permission.

Have A Happy Healthy Pregnancy

Friends are like flowers, they come to our life to add fragrance and flavors. We laugh with friends, we cry with friends, we argue with them and we agree with them. Sometimes we fight too but all the wars are just a game of mind as our hearts are always connected. My life is full of friends who encourage me, inspire me,pamper me,tease me, support me a lot in my bad time and treasure me the way I am and so I am writing this article for all those lovely friends who became a part of my life.

I would like to dedicate this article to all my female friends as now I understand how much important they are for me.

I was a kind of girl who was more comfortable talking to boys than girls and even I am but I learned few things from my life and my lovely doctor which changed my view of friendship. There was an incident when I was sick because of stressful life and my doctor asked me “do you talk to your friends?” and when I replied “yes sometimes.” she said “See this is important. When we are teenager we need friends to hang out and have fun but once we grow up we need friends to share, to get support and to get strength. May I know names of your friends?” and when I listed them she said “It seems you have more Mars than Venus in your life but I am happy that still you have couple of female friends.” she added “you might feel odd but the truth is female friends are more supportive than mars. you may feel your wavelength doesn’t match with females, you may not appreciate the TV shows, you may not like those gossips but you still have couple of females in your life that means there are females who too are like you. so don’t think much and talk to your female friends as often as you can.”

She explained me really well with logic and here is the reasoning she gave me for “Why shall we have female friends in our life?”

Good listener: Yes unbelievable but this is truth. Women are better listener than men. They listen as well as they remember it too and they have tender heart like you so if you will find a good female friend, she will really raise you up in your cloudy days.

Understanding: As we say “if you want to know me live my life” and women shares similar life so they can understand your things in better way as well as can give you hope from their experience especially when you have kids or family topics to talk and discuss.

Stress reliever: When you feel “you are not alone” its easy to accept and cope up with the things which once you felt really hard. Just discuss your problem with your female friend and she will reduce all your stress in just one talk as at the end what do you need other than a person who can listen to you, understand you and accept you the way you are.

Life long friend: Mars have different goals and different life style than Venus and so there may be time when they can’t available for you even if they want  But Venus will be always there for you.

After this conversion when I really implemented her thoughts, I felt my stress level really reduces when I talk to my female friends as I can share any thing and every thing with them as well as its easy to get answer of my problems from their experience. Now I truly feel this is true, doesn’t matter how much good mars are  but the Venus can console you a way more.

 Thank you all the sweets of my life.

Happy Friendship Day….Love you lovely ladies
