    I'm the "Always coffee in hand mom & Hovering mom LOL

    What about you ....what type of mom are you on the playground
    One of the things no one told me about becoming a mom is that it will make you feel like you are back in high school again. When you first go to the playground with your kids, that is. You're the newbie mom (or dad) and it seems that all the other parents and caretakers there already know each other. You are the outcast. Like the kid in the lunchroom who has no one to sit next to. How do you break the ice? Do you talk to the people with kids around the same age? Or maybe you size up the mom and think ... yeah, she seems like someone I would get along with.
    Either way it's hard to make a connection when you often have to run off in different directions to stop your little one from stealing the ball from the older kids at the park. But you look for similarities, ways you are alike, and try to make some parent friends. In doing so I realized how there is 11 types of moms (dads, even caretakers) at the playground ... and these types seem to be standard no matter where I go.


    1. Fancy Mom

    She's in high heels, her makeup looks perfect, and you really want to know where she bought her clothes. You envy the fact she can run after her kids in a dress and still manage to look like a gazillion bucks.

    Islam is a complete way of life and a complete life is made up of sorrow and happiness, test and result, good and bad and both aspects of life with all its dimensions. Life cannot be one sided. There cannot be happiness only, nor can there be sorrow only in one’s life. So is the case that when we think of an Islamic life, we rightfully think that it should be balanced with both heavier and lighter moments and of course an Islamic life is comprehensive span of time spent on this earth encompassing every aspect of life.

    If you enjoy green tea, there's no harm in drinking a cup or two a day while you're trying to conceive. But don't expect it to significantly increase your odds of getting pregnant.


    While compounds found in green tea offer some protective health benefits, research hasn't shown that they boost fertility. Green tea, which is made from unfermented tea leaves, contains chemicals called polyphenols. Experts believe that these chemicals act as antioxidants, substances that protect the body's cells from damage that can lead to cancer and other diseases.

    One small Stanford University study of a nutritional supplement containing green tea extract, chasteberry, folic acid, and a host of other vitamins and minerals showed promising results.

    1. Use Memory and Picture Cues


    Choose picture books that have easy words and predictable plots. Your kindergartner's memory of the pictures and stories will help her understand what she's reading.

    2. Let Him Tell (and Retell) His Favorite Tales

    Does your kindergartner love reading the same books over and over again? Although you might be itching for something new, this repetition is actually a great literacy motivator for your child. When your kindergartner is familiar with a story, he feels good about his reading abilities. And this confidence will go a long way on his road to reading!

    3. Encourage Your Child to Read on Her Own

    Ask your kindergartner to read to you, and only help out if she gets stuck. This will help her become a fluent, independent reader.
