Giving personalized Father’s Day gifts is a thoughtful way to show your father that you care. You could surprise him with a Father’s Day gift basket that is filled with all of his favorites. This year find the perfect Father’s Day gift in a gift basket customized just for him. For any special man in your life, whether it is your Dad, or your brother or husband who is a father, you will want to remember him on this day that is set aside to honor all that he does for his family.

Although Father’s Day is celebrated on different days and months of the year depending on which country you are in, in the United States Father’s Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in June every year. The first time the holiday was celebrated was on July 5th, however, in 1908, as the theme for a church service in Fairmont, West Virginia. A year earlier there had been a mine explosion that had killed 361 men, many of whom were fathers, and so a special service topic was employed. Mother’s Day had begun to be celebrated in nearby Grafton, West Virginia, also in 1908, and this new holiday might also have been an inspiration for a Father’s Day.

The first time Father’s Day was held in the month of June was due to the efforts of Mrs. Sonora Smart Dodd, from Washington State. Her Civil War veteran father, William Jackson Smart, had raised his six children as a single parent after his wife and their mother had died. Inspired by Anna Jarvis, the instigator of Mother’s Day, Mrs. Dodd held the first Father’s Day in June, the month her father had died, on June 19, 1910 in Spokane, Washington.

Politically speaking, it took quite a few years before Father’s Day became an official national holiday. Presidents Woodrow Wilson celebrated the occasion with his family in 1916, and Calvin Coolidge made a recommendation that it become a national holiday in 1924. Father’s Day was made into a holiday that would occur on the third Sunday of June by Lyndon Johnson, and it was finally recognized as an official holiday by Richard Nixon in 1972.

breastfeeding


I know in Utah, the state code states that public breasfeeding, and showing he breast incidental to breastfeeding cannot be conisdered a lewd act. This makes breastfeeding protected in Utah.

What states are not yet as progressive as Utah as far as breastfeeding?



Clip from the movie, where Susan and Sharon [both played by Hayley Mills] sings.. lets get together, in this unforgettable scene..

breastfeeding


In a lot of Q&A that I read, people state that breastfeeding makes toddlerhood so much easier, but no one really specifies how or why.

Can those with experience please tell me more about this? I am hoping to breastfeed into my son’s toddlerhood.

Nutritional Pyramid for Kids


Like an adult, every child needs appropriate amounts of calories, proteins, minerals, and vitamins to grow. The new Food Guide Pyramid Guidelines outline the amount of grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy products, and meats or beans people should eat daily. Children between the ages of four and six can usually have serving sizes recommended for adults, while younger children, who have smaller stomachs and lower nutritional needs, need smaller amounts of food. But apart from consuming the right quantity, parents should keep in mind that exposure to a wide variety of healthful foods early in a child’s life can set the stage for more variety later. Since children are often reluctant to try new foods and would be happy eating the same foods every day, the role of the parent is that of a guide towards a healthy and nutritional food lifestyle.

First of all, it is important for growing children to get the full range of important nutrients, especially protein, iron, calcium, and vitamin A. Although appetite variations are considered by experts as normal and might increase during times of rapid growth, or diminish during periods of slow growth, the general rule of thumb is that a 3 year old needs not more than 1,300 calories daily, a 10 year old around 2,000 and an adolescent may require as many as 2,800 depending on the height, weight and daily activity level.

- Fruits and Vegetables: Have always available in the fridge, plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables that your kids can chew in case they are suddenly hungry or in-between lunches. Remember to keep fruit juice on one service daily since the sugar this drink contains has a lot of ‘hidden’ calories. Broccoli, carrots, and vegetables with bright colors, usually attract children’s attention and help them fill their stomachs with something healthy instead of a bag of fried potato chips.

- Dairy products: Foods that are rich in calcium are essential for children and adults helping them build and maintain strong bones. Low fat milk and fat-free dairy products should be served daily and kids have to eat cheeses with 2-6 grams of fat per ounce. The needed calcium can also enter your child’s organism if he or she consumes orange juice and eats yogurt. Treats made with frozen yogurt and fruits, or milkshakes made with low-fat milk are always welcomed and provide the necessary sweet taste children usually crave.

- Grains: In fact, your child’s diet should be based on grains and starches. Whole grain products also contain iron that kids need and whole-wheat bread or pasta can give them the necessary grains for their bodies to function properly.

- Liquids: Remember to serve your child plenty of water and low-fat milk. Avoid sugary sodas and high-fat ice-cream milkshakes.

- Portions: Always serve appropriate portions and weight your kids often. Sugary foods or those containing high-fat ingredients should be generally avoided. Offer healthy snacks, like vegetables, fruits or a ball of whole-grain cereal and allow them to eat crackers with cheese and low-fat chocolate milk.

Finally, you have to check if your child is gaining the normal amount of weight as it grows up and that it exercises often. Outdoor activities and a healthy diet plan are enough to provide your kids with the necessary amount of energy they need and build strong bodies.
