Family Travel Time

 

Having a baby surely is an excuse to travel around due to the inconvenience of moving and transporting.  This is absolutely acceptable most especially during the earlier months of the baby but there's really no big threat on babies to be traveling around even on such early age.  Starting with shorter travels can be an ideal family travel time instead of long tiring roadtrips.  Flying is way more feasible to support baby's needs with the added comfort of the facilities they can use on board.

Going to Canada for instance can be a great trip destination for the entire family.  There are so much to see and explore there even if the main destination is Calgary.  There are a lot of downtown calgary apartments conveniently located within the metro which can house tourists looking for a places to stay.  The downtown is within reach to shopping, dining and other recreational activities the family can enjoy.

Take the kids to the nearby museum or go to the Devonian gardens for an urban garden adventure.  If looking for tasty treats and fine souvenirs, the Chinatown is a definite place to go to.  Parks are always fun and kids never seize to resist its charm.  Simple places but good enough to keep the whole family entertained provided all the comfort of carrying a baby around.  No marathons here and there to see far reach places, in downtown Calgary there are so many places to see.

Mommy Time

Having intimate mommy time strengthens the bond of mommy and baby. Baby gets more connected with mommy making communication between them easier. They get to develop special fun activities which stimulates baby's skills. Of course daddy time is equally important though during the infancy stage babies tend to seek for the motherly care more. Babies will only be babies for a short period of time, you'll never notice how fast time will fly only for you to realize they all have grown. Enjoy the most time with your babies, they will grow up remembering such precious times you've shared.

Precious Moments For Keeps

This post brought to you by Carbonite. All opinions are 100% mine.

Precious moments come and go that's why I take all the time in the world to document my little boy's moments since the time he was born. Keeping digital images is so convenient now and as long as I have computer backup for all the images I've taken, I can always come back to it to view or have it printed anytime I want.  I have encountered accidental hard drive formatting, bad sector and my hard drive simply crashed and lost everything before.  I wouldn't want to happen that anymore so I make sure I have several backup files.

Since we have images from time to time making a backup copy seems to be a little inconvenient that's why we are planning to have a server station which will automatically backup the files.  Almost the same concept as Carbonite, it automatically does backup works whenever the computer's connected online.  Though it doesn't backup software programs, and files saved on external hard drive, all the files the system has backed up can be accessed anywhere and anytime.  You may use your PC, MAC or even your smartphones and iPads as long as you ahve the free Carbonite app installed.

Why worry over your files being lost if you can securely and automatically back it up with Carbonite?  For as much as $59 a year, guaranteed your files get unlimited backup with anytime and anywhere access.  Check out if this system can work for you, visit Carbonite's site and get to try their 15 days free trial offer.  If you feel like purchasing their service simply mention the offer code BLOGAD to get two months free.

Smart Mommies Are Thrifty

This post brought to you by Straight Talk. All opinions are 100% mine.

Everything nowadays is expensive and if moms who work on the budget won't opt for the cheaper picks it's not going to be so easy to get everything.  Of course we always want to get the best of what we can give to our family most especially our babies and kids, being practical still is an option.  There are many ways on how to cut down costs and still get the same old things we love and need to have.  A mom knows best that's why I try to make ends meet to survive in this recession time and still be able to provide well for the family.

Living by the basics is one good way of cutting down costs but sometimes we really have to get things like mobile phone service, in which can be a big drainer if you get hooked on expensive monthly bills and long term contracts.  I find it more practical to use pay as you go than fixed contracts but in any case that a good offer like what Straight Talk has, there's no reason not to grab that chance for a switch.  

Imagine how much savings you can have with the "All You Need Plan" or Unlimited monthly which only costs $45 for unlimited calls, texts, mms and web.  A whole year's unlimited service can only cost you $499.00 with free activation, reactivation and termination fees,  everything you need including 411 calls at no extra charge and international long distance services at low rates.  With Straight Talk you won't feel the hold back to call a friend because of the high phone charges that will go with it.  Phones come in basic features for as low as $10.00 and smart phones from trusted phone manufacturers like LG, Motorola, Kyocera, Nokia and Samsung for a higher price but still more affordable than others.
