A good friend of mine once said "we birth how we live". In preparing for birth then it may be wise to have a good awareness of "how we live"!The 7Words system is the best means I have come across of raising our awareness of how we function. In its thorough journey through all 7 states of being it covers all bases. A good place to arrive at before by birth is Yes since surrender is always (and in all ways) going to help for a Loving and easier...more
Clubfoot. Clubfoot is a common birth defect occurring in approximately 1 out of every 1000 births. It affects males more often than females and can affect one or both feet. Clubfoot should be diagnosed at birth (although sometimes doctors can diagnose clubfoot while the baby is still in the womb) and treatment should begin within the first weeks of the baby's life. The most common treatment for clubfoot is called the Ponseti Method. This method...more
As a retailer of organic crib mattresses, I am often asked, "Which crib mattress is right for my child?" This is understandable. After making the decision to invest a little more money into an organic crib mattress, you don't want to pick the wrong one. Its really more simple than you may think. The first thing you have to make sure of is that the mattress you choose is truly organic.The "Organic" LabelDo some research and make sure that the description and info says 100 organic if it has metal in it? Well, obviously there is no such thing as organic metal. What you want to look for in the innerspring mattresses is the oils they use for the metal. Look in the description for non toxic oils like tung oil and beeswax, or some other type of non toxic oil being used on the springs. When an innerspring has 100 organic, plus any oils used on the springs is non-toxic.You want to be careful about the word "natural" as well. Many people think the words natural and organic coincide with one another. In some cases this can be true, in others, it is yet another word play to make you think you are getting a better quality mattress than you are actually getting. Read descriptions, read labels,...more

Most will have heard about recent cuts in electricity prices from British Gas which follow on from gas prices cuts in February and cuts from both energy types from other providers in March. Now seems like a good time to check if your provider is offering you the best deal or if it is now cheaper to switch to get cheaper gas and electricity prices.Knowing if you are getting the best deal is difficult to determine as although there are only six major providers in the UK they offer quite a few tariffs from standard, on-line, duel fuel, discounted night tariffs and each with their own set of conditions.The simplest method is to use a comparison service. There are on-line websites that allow you to compare electricity and gas prices with ease and at a time, day or night that is suitable to yourself. Dig out your latest quarterly statement or take your electricity and gas readings so you can an accurate picture of the savings that are possible by switching to the cheapest provider in your area. I saw your area as the energy prices vary across the country and some are cheaper than in others in certain areas of the country as some offer different prices depending on your location.When you...more
