Attachment in the Trenches | No Hands But Ours

Gambar
When we were in China, we traveled with several other families. In our travel group, I don’t think I’m exaggerating by saying that we had “the crier.” Unlike the other happy, giggly children in the group who were quick to return their parent’s smile, our sweetie was unhappy much of the time. Despite our efforts, she rarely smiled and often cried. I even had the young daughter of another family come to me and say on more than one occasion, “Your baby cries a lot. What’s wrong with her? Our baby is happy.” Ouch. Rationally, I knew that her grieving meant that the attachment process was in full swing. And that is a really good thing. That made everything else totally bearable. But grieving, no matter what form it takes, still made my heart sad right along with hers. So rather than worry about my daughter’s sadness, I concentrated on capitalizing on her attachment process and doing all I could to reap every ounce of bonding that I could. It was just a change in my mindset. Being proactive

Lord & Taylor Goes Home

By David Gill Last month saw the grand openings of Lord & Taylor Home's first two stores, in Paramus and Shrewsbury, N.J.--marking what could be the most dramatic development in the home specialty -retail segment in many years. The Paramus Lord & Taylor Home is located adjacent to the full-line Lord & Taylor department store in the Fashion Center mall . The Shrewsbury store sits three miles away from the Lord & Taylor store in the Monmouth Mall. Both stores measure about 22,900 square feet. The merchandise on offer encompasses a variety of product categories in housewares, home textiles and tabletop. The new format is being positioned as somewhat upscale from Bed Bath & Beyond. "Lord & Taylor Home is a natural extension of the Lord & Taylor brand because it is about style, inspiration, color and entertaining," said Brendan Hoffman, president and CEO of Lord & Taylor. "The product offering is high-quality, trend-right merchandise fo

‘Awards are a morale booster for me’

The laurel sits lightly on Sree. He has won the State Government’s Best Actor Award for his performance in two serials – ‘Uravugal’ and ‘Sivasakti,’ — both telecast on Sun, but he doesn’t sound overtly thrilled ! “Of course I’m happy,” he laughs. “It’s a morale booster for me and an inspiration for other actors, some of whom are really good.” It has been raining awards on showbiz and the small screen, as the Government, which had stalled the process for six years, has announced it all in one go. “Generally as far as films go, only commercial hits make it to the awards circuit. But you cannot say that only hits are worthy of awards, right? As for serials, those in the prime time slots ( 7.30 -9.30 p.m.) alone were considered. The time of telecast decides the reach of a serial,” he reiterates. So Sree didn’t expect the recognition because both soaps were on air morning 11.30 and evening 10.30 – non- prime time slots ! The small screen hero is particularly joyous about winning it for

Slip-X Non-Slip Bath and Shower Stickers Review

At Home Fixated we’re not afraid to review things long -term. Many years ago, we had our very ugly bathtub refinished to make it somewhat less ugly. Then we had it refinished again following an unfortunate suction cups incident . Note to anyone with refinished baths or showers: do NOT use any floor or bath mats that use suction cups to stay in place. Don’t ask me how I know this. This review isn’t about refinished tubs though, it’s about helping prevent near-to-full-death experiences on slippery surfaces like bathtubs. In my quest to kid and adult-proof our tub, I decided to try Slip-X Non- Slip Bath Treads after sifting through many other options.

Ask the Expert: How do I prevent mold and mildew from accumulating in my bathroom?

How do I prevent mold and mildew from accumulating in my bathroom? Mold and mildew can be located anywhere in our homes, but is most likely to grow in areas that are wet, humid and damp.  It is most commonly found in bathrooms, basements and attics, when a combination of water and insufficient ventilation are combined. One of the most noticeable areas you will find mold and mildew is in your bathroom because of the high levels of humidity confined in this small space.  Most commonly, mold and mildew are found in the corners and bases of your shower, under your sink, and along the walls near your shower.  Bathroom mold occurs because it loves damp, isolated and non-ventilated spaces. Leaky toilets, sinks and plumbing pipes also increase the likelihood that mold will accumulate in your bathroom.  Add water saturated wood , wallpaper, grout, drywall and fabric, and your mold will have all the surface area it needs to take over your bathroom. How do you know you have a mold problem? If yo

An Orcas cabin and yurt for the perfect island lifestyle

About a mile-long walk from the Orcas Island ferry landing is a sweet cabin on more than two acres among the trees, a retreat listed at $499,000. But wait: There’s a bonus yurt, for when the cabin life isn ’t quite enough for you. With only one bedroom and one bathroom in 960 square feet, the rooms are relatively expansive. The living room and cherry floors act as a connectors between an impressive and decorative kitchen, plus the green wainscoting wrapped dining area . The dining area’s theme continues in the kitchen cabinetry, accentuated by the green granite counters . A pot rack, stainless steel sink , and full-size appliances mean some serious cooking can happen here. A classic bathroom with clawfoot tub also features a luxurious-looking, blue and purple stone and glass tile shower . Golden-colored fixtures, even in the shower, add an opulent touch. A broad porch encourages sitting outside and enjoying the quiet, or as a place to listen for the ferry’s horn. The yurt, set sligh

Power Your Bathroom by Water Tap: 9 Steps (with Pictures)

Shortage of Electrical energy is a big problem in my country and load shading occurs regularly here. So, most of the time I think about energy efficiency and renewable energy. Suddenly one thing came to my mind, why I am not using the water flow of bathroom water tap to light my bathroom. Bathroom does not required big energy . I used 7 watts CFL to light my bathroom. I replaced it by LED light powered by small hydro generator fixed to the water tap. It is working very well from two months. You can put this system on the down pipes off the roof. You will get free power whenever it rains. Most cases the rain water just drains out into waste water pipes to go to the rivers and oceans anyway, so you can utilize it before waste away to the river. I apologize for the dirty soap scum around the water tap. I live in a rental house and I found it in this situation. I tried to remove it but I failed.

New Steam Shower Buying Tips for North American Consumers

Steam showers have become very popular in North American homes over the last 20 years. When most people think of a steam shower they think of a custom tile or stone room similar to a small scale Roman bath . This isn’t the case however. Modular steam cabins are becoming very prominent in New Construction and recently remodeled homes . Modular steam rooms have been all the rage in Europe for years are starting to make their way to the North American market . For the price of a regular tile shower or acrylic unit consumers can have a luxury steam shower with features they never knew they could afford such as chromo therapy lighting , FM radio and sound system, hands free telephone and the list goes on. With all new products on the market there is some buyer skepticism and with good reason. There are many unscrupulous importers out there who run sub- par operations selling products that are not certified and are made with cheap materials. Here are some tips to help consumers o
