Top 5 Celebrity Moms

Celebrity moms are cool because, they do everything we do while being celebrities. Here’s our top 5!


While not all of us can be celebrities, we can certainly get inspired by celebrities for things as varied as hairstyles, fashion, diet and even baby clothes. Yes, celebrities have babies too, and they need clothes! So to celebrate mommies all over the world, we've put up a list of our five favorite celebrity moms.


 



5. Angelina Jolie


Busy actor Angelina Jolie has six children—yes, six. Three of them are her own (Knox, Shiloh and Vivienne) and three of them are adopted (Pax, Zahara and Maddox). Angelina Jolie gives millions of dollars to charities every year, including children's charities. She is a compassionate, generous mother who gives not only to her family but to the world as well. (And she has crazy style, too!)


 


 4. Heidi Klum


Top model and mom Heidi Klum is raising four children (Leni, Henri, Lohan and Lou) while looking awesome. She did a fashion show a mere six weeks after giving birth. Who else can boast of that? She’s been with her husband Seal for years and their marriage is still going strong. And she even poses with her children without makeup. Seriously. Most of us wouldn't even dare walk out without mascara… Kudos to you Heidi!


 


3. Victoria Beckham


The very British Victoria Beckham is on our list because despite having to raise four children, she still has time to dress oh so well and attend the royal wedding with her husband, football player superstar David Beckham. Posh Spice never disappoints, and she wouldn't leave her children to be raised by nannies and bodyguards either. And hopefully they grow up to be as hot, talented and stylish as their parents! Wouldn't we want to have her life…


 



2. Tina Fey


Comic and TV star Tina Fey gets a lot of inspiration from her 6-year-old daughter Alice… and we hope she gets more as she recently gave birth to a second daughter, Penelope Athena. Beautiful and smart, we hope that her daughters grow up to be like their mom, because we’d love our own children to go through their 20s and 30s watching something as funny as 30 Rock. Teach them to laugh at themselves and they will always be happy, Tina!



1.     Michelle Obama


The US First Lady is the perfect picture of a celebrity mom who keeps her feet on the ground. Despite being the wife of the most powerful man on the planet, she does not let that affect the way she raises her kids. No free passes for Malia and Sasha! They do their chores and their homework like all other kids. The couple is very strong and hopefully the girls will learn something useful from their 4-year stay in the White house.


Celebrity moms may not have to buy Bonds online, but their sense of style and their personality still shine through their children. Celebrity doesn't mean trashy for our Top 5 celebrity moms!

Some Beneficial Tips on Laundering and Eliminating Stains From Baby Clothes

Children are lovable, but caring for their clothing could be a headache once they get discolored. To eradicate these stains, you should read the tag, presoak in cool water, be aware of several approaches for numerous stains and rinse out completely at the end.


Taking care of your little bundle of joy could get tiresome. Cleaning up after a toddler could get messy and complicated. Know how to rinse and eliminate stains from your child's garments the proper way.


Look at the label


Instructions should be followed to the letter. We carry out this regularly when we are doing our own laundry, especially for outfits which are more expensive. Washing clothing for babies should not be any different, particularly if you’d want to protect the quality of cool baby clothes. The label should offer enough details that you should follow so that you can keep the optimum quality of the clothing. Examples of details that you could acquire from the tag includes laundering temperature, whether whitening is suitable for the product, if the material could be ironed or if the product only demands hand washing.


Presoak in cold water


Little ones often throw stuff around and are dirty eaters. It’s not unusual for a flummoxed mom and dad to have a grubby, food-splattered baby at the end of every dinner. Correct strategies must be employed in order to efficiently remove these stains from your baby’s clothing. Before you try to wash stains off clothing, it is a wise decision to presoak the dress in cold water to remove as much dust as possible. It’s important that you dip the apparel as soon as they get discolored because stubborn stains are hard to remove once they’re allowed sufficient time to set in.


Learn the different techniques for several stains


There are different methods that you need to employ to eliminate a variety of stains. Various stains need an organic solvent to be taken away, and some elements require mild detergents. You could use a soft bristled nylon brush to gently wash some cleaning agent on the affected area too. The following are tips for a number of stains:


Protein spills


You will need a chemical detergent to eliminate the stain. If the stain remains, use some enzyme stain cleaner prior to laundering the clothing as usual.


Vegetables and fruit


Fruit and vegetable stains must appear quickly after soaking in water. If this does not function, utilize an enzyme stain remover and launder as usual after a few minutes.


Petrol as well as sauces


Talcum powder or corn starch should be quickly put on the area. You can clean any remains off eventually and your baby’s clothes must be free from stains of grease and oil such as those from ointments and baby oils.


Leaky nappies


In case soaking doesn't take away these stains, you need to apply one tablespoon of ammonia diluted in a single cup of water directly to the stain. Keep for some time before laundering as usual. Be aware not to use this on cloth diapers or clothing which will come in immediate contact with skin.


Rinse out thoroughly


Your child’s skin is very delicate and attention should be paid not just to the kind of cleaning agent you utilize but also in making sure the clothing is completely free of any residual traces of cleaning agent. Rinse your child’s clothes carefully under flowing water to remove all remnants of cleaning soap and also other sediments.


Shielding your child and delivering the best for that special person in your life requires allot of work. These steps will help you save time and approach problems the right way.

5 Smart Tips to Successfully Add Nursery Space in Your Master Bedroom

The following are great tips you can consider to help you set up a nursery space in your master bedroom: choose multi-functional furniture, use a white noise machine to drown out other noise, match baby decor with the theme in your room, choose decor and furniture colors that harmonize with your master bedroom, and use a divider or a floor mat to separate the spaces.

Welcoming a new baby to your family calls for many changes at home. When you have limited rooms and space in you home, it might be smart to include a nursery area in your own room. Here are some great tips for adding a nursery space in your master bedroom to make the room conducive to both you and your baby:

Choose multi-functional furniture

To save space in your room, make use furniture that is multi-functional. You can look for a changing table with drawers or maybe a crib with shelves. There are also cribs with detachable changing compartments and other clip-on organizers. Aside from saving space, baby necessities are within reach and are better-organized.

Use a white noise machine to drown out other noise

Unlike in a nursery room that is exclusive for your baby, there are other noises in your room that could make it uncomfortable for baby to rest, sleep, or play. Your television set, radio, and the constant conversations between you and your spouse may cause your baby uneasiness. To drown out other noise in your room, use a Sound machine and make baby’s space in the room more conducive and soothing, especially at night.

Match baby decor with the theme in your room

To make your room pleasing to the eye, you can match the theme of your nursery space to the existing theme in your room. For example, if you have leaf designs on your wall paper, you can choose a garden theme for your nursery space. You may consider decorating the nursery wall with a green meadow, colorful flowers, trees, sun, and a rainbow to match baby’s space with yours.

Choose decor and furniture colors that harmonize with your master bedroom

You need not decorate the whole room with shades of pink or all shades of blue. What is important is that you choose furnishings for baby whose colors match or complement your current furniture and fixtures. This way, it will be more pleasing to the eyes.

Use a divider or a floor mat to separate the spaces

If you want to put distinction between your space and the nursery space, you can put a divider in your room or set up a floor mat on the nursery space. Although this may not be necessary, it can help give you and your baby the feeling of being inside another room once you step in and out of the nursery area.

You need not spend too much on furnishings nor worry unnecessarily about this tiny, yet lovely, project at home. It just takes some creativity and imagination to successfully include a nursery area in your master bedroom and save some space at the same time.

My Story of How My Son was Born

Hi All,

I wanted to write about how Natural Progesterone Cream has helped me since I started using it in the year 2000 after I miscarried my first pregnancy. My Husband and I were heart broken after waiting so long to have our own children.

So here is my story. (For Reference look-up John Lee MD  Two of the books he has written along with Virginia Hopkins are "What your doctor may not tell you about premenopause" and "What your doctor may not tell you about menopause") I encourage you to do your own research and come to your own conclusion. I did after I miscarried I did so much research on Natural Progesterone Cream and why women miscarry. I did not want to loose another pregnancy.

John Lee MD  and read one of his books. It is an eye opener. I would be happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability.

I think my hormone imbalance started when I was in college then started up again shortly after my husband and I met at age 21. I had regular periods until a month after my husband and I met, then in one month I had two periods then after that there were not more periods. I thought this was weird. So I went to the local clinic and they gave me birth control drugs. Just want I didn't need. I wasn't ovulating so why the birth control? Then a couple of years later a doctor put me on a drug to keep my periods going. They told me if you don't have regular periods you can be at risk for cancer. Later I heard that drug which I cannot remember the name can cause cancer. I asked my doctor and he denied it of course.

When I was ready to have children. A year and half after we had been married. They doctors put me on fertility drugs, nothing happened. Finally in 1999 a doctor put me on the right dosage for me to get pregnant. We were so thrilled. Then I miscarried.

A Pastor's Wife told me about Natural Progesterone Cream and told me to read Dr. Lee's Book. "What your Doctor may not tell you about Menopause" And all the answers were right there. Why I wasn't ovulating and getting pregnant and and why I wasn't having my periods regularly. I had Estrogen Dominance. There is an Estrogen Dominance Quiz on Dr. John Lee MD's Website, if you would like to take the quiz. I was so mad why didn't anyone tell me about this along time ago.

According to Dr. Lee Natural Progesterone Cream has been around since the 1930's. Dr. Lee has had his patience's using it for over 30 years.

I went to a hormone balance seminar and further learned why allot of women have estrogen dominance.I told my doctor about this and he denied that it would work to help me get pregnant and said that he was my doctor and he knew what was best for me. And told me let's try the fertility drugs again and next time I get pregnant he would put me on Progesterone Suppositories to keep the pregnancy. Hello, what does that tell me that we need progesterone to keep pregnancies or we will miscarry. Anyways I was so mad at that doctor for not giving me the progesterone to keep my pregnancy in the first place and he would not listen to me that a natural product could help, that I stopped seeing him for several years.

When I started using the cream I felt so much better, I was sleeping better at night. I have had a regular period for 8 years now. Praise the Lord. And I have not had to take that drug with the side effects to keep my period going.

I tried using the cream like Doctor Lee suggested to get pregnant, which has helped allot of women. It is suggested in order to get pregnant instead of using the cream the regular 2 weeks. Use the cream for on days 7-28 for 6 months then go back to using it for days 14-28 and then you should ovulate. Then when you get pregnant you use 1/2 tsp. twice or even three times a day. And then to stop using the cream a week or two before the baby is to be born. I believe because of my weight issues that I have for years stopped me from getting pregnant, which is also mentioned in the book. (You rub the cream onto your skin alternating areas.)

So I went back to that doctor and told him that the cream was working for me, It just hasn't helped me to get pregnant. So he put me back on the fertility drugs and in four months I was pregnant again. Yippee. The doctor talked about putting me on some Progesterone drugs which I didn't want to do. So what I did instead is what Dr. Lee MD told me in his book to to double up on the Natural Progesterone Cream. You see Progesterone is suppose to keep rising when you are pregnant. If is drops you miscarry like I did. Anyways I found a Natural Progesterone Cream that I liked and I doubled the amount of cream I was using and I kept the pregnancy. Now we have a beautiful 4 year old boy. Who is the most pleasant smart baby.

A few of the things that Dr. Lee says that when using the cream when pregnant it produces bigger, smarter, calmer, healthier babies and that is definitely what our son is. They also claimed it helped for Post Partum Depression. But I still went threw that after our son was born. I couldn't wait to get back on the cream. After a month after my son was born I started back on my regular dosage of 1/4 tsp. on days 14-28 of my cycle and it made me feel so much better. It still took a few months for the depression to go away but it did eventually. I have read lots of books on natural products and they all say that natural products take longer to work, so you just have to be patient, but it is so worth the wait and not virtually no side effects and is healthier. (Any side effects would be the initial getting use to the cream and making sure you use it the way it is suggested.) You use the cream according if you are in the premenopause stage or the menopause stage of your life. Women in menopause it is suggested using it days 7-28 in your monthly cycle. Premenopause it is days 14-28. 1/4 tsp. twice a day. There are much more issues that Natural Progesterone Cream can help with, such as going into menopause and dealing with hot flashes. Trying to get pregnant or PMS, Irregular Periods, and Ovarian cysts. etc. Dr. Lee even goes as far as to say that using the cream will protect against Breast Cancer. Dr. Lee has written another book called "What your doctor may not tell you about Breast Cancer" In Dr. Lee's book there is a list of Estrogen Dominance symptoms. See if there are any that you have.

I believe in using Natural Progesterone Cream and I will use it the rest of my life. If anyone has any questions you can go to Dr. John Lee's Website.
John Lee MD

Please research this for yourself and try the Natural Progesterone Cream and see for yourself. Everything that I have mentioned in this blog is what is in Dr. John Lee Md's books and on his website. There is a list of suggested Natural Progesterone Cream's listed on his website and in his books.

If I had know about this years ago I would have been able to have those four kids that I always wanted. I am just grateful with God's help and with using this cream and especially with all the prayers of everyone threw out the years we do have a baby. And we are so very grateful for our son. He is such a good boy. I love him so much and I am determined that he have a safe and happy childhood.

We ended up having a home birth. It was such a beautiful birth.
The Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth
The child birthing class we took was called "The Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth".

While in the class our instructor gave us paper on "Cytotec" also known as "Misoprostol" It is a ulcer drug that doctors have been using to induce labor. My doctor wanted to use it on me and I said no way. After what I read on the internet about it and what I saw on the news about it. The news report said that a young lady and her unborn child had died from using it because her doctor used it to induce labor.

Here is FDA's website about it. It is not approved by the FDA.In fact the FDA has a warning about it. FDA Drug Warning
Many doctors us this to begin labor.

Thank-you for reading my story on Mom's Misc. Adventures.
