I recently became a power broker after seeing how much money was being saved AND made with deregulated power. Does anyone else have experience using a deregulated power service?

Your so observant! That absolutely IS my website and I do love my exclamation points. Probably more so because both my sites...for sleep training and the "creepy" one referred to have been so successful. Thanks !!!!! <----did you catch all those? And just to be clear...you choose to enter your information after you CHOOSE to visit my sites, which obviously YOU have. Its not creepy...its preventing spam. Your welcome.

I know its out of the area your looking for, but I love Mrs. K's Toll House in Silver Spring. Its very quaint and has been a perfect setting for baby showers, so Im sure a first birthday party would also go over nicely! Im a little new to this site...Im becoming more and more confused why every post includes a war of finances....it seems like moms with a higher income are often being attacked...can anyone shed some light?

The method at www.mybabysleepsatnight.com really worked for me and my friends. good luck

It looks like you've got some great advice here, so I will not be repetitive. Im so sorry about the loss of your mom and the absence of your boyfriend right now. I recently lost my mom this past year and I also know how scary it can be to have your very first pregnancy....especially when unexpected. If you'd like I'd be more than open to helping you as a friendly ear/advice giver. If you have facebook you can private message me your info

I hear from other, more experienced moms that the effects on our bodies and hormones from pregnancy and childbirth can last from a year...or longer...some may even be permanent. I also used to be much smarter, much thinner...and much less scatter brained to say the least of what happened to my body! My son is two...writing things down is a must; just remember where you wrote it.

I sleep trained as well, I used the method found at www.mybabysleepsatnight.com What time is your babies bedtime? Even though she may be a great sleeper at night, she may be overtired...or perhaps going down for her naps too late. Also its hard to get longer naps in when reaching milestones like rolling over and crawling.

Im a member of a travel club,and many of our trips are all inclusive resorts. I happen to think its great, though like someone already mentioned a five star resort does not equal 5 star food. My advice is to find your favorite options on the resort but def. look for some great off resort restaurants. My favorite aspect is the option to be completely hands free while on vacation (though admittedly I carry a wristlet)! Besides...i vacation at wholesale prices...so to spend under $400 for a week all inclusive...I can afford to dine wherever in the end!

Before resigning to raise my son two years ago, I was an HR manager for a contracting company. When interviewing with a new potential employee, I almost always took them more seriously if they were dressed in a more executive/corporate level outfit. This almost always translates into a suit...a sheath dress with suit jacket is a nice option for you if you dont want to invest in tailoring a suit.

I started sleep training my son once he hit 5 months and it was awesome! Today he's two and is still a terrific napper and night sleeper! This website is awesome! www.mybabysleepsatnight.com

My husband and I like to go to our favorite steak houses, or a wine bar. We've also been known to see several movies into the late night at the theater. We enjoy our home, so we often invite other couples over for date nights in our home since we like to entertain. Also a weekend away at a boutique/upscale hotel is always fun, but can get expensive if you already have a nice home.

For those who are breast feeding, it may be easier to sleep train by switching to bottles at night first and then weaning so that you no longer deal with waking at night to feed. If not, you would want to talk to a lactation consultant.

I currently have two car seats for my two year old...a maxi-cosi priori convertible in my husbands Large SUV and a Graco brand convertible in my sedan. They're both nice seats but I happen to favor the Graco. Its easiest to adjust and/or transfer in and out of the car. It also seems to have more room in the seat.

I also think hummers are obnoxious...not to mention just plain ugly! I know a guy who drives one...with monster truck wheels. He's prob. the shortest grown man I know, so Im sure its a napoleon complex issue he's working out! Its kinda funny to see him jump out of it though.

Once your baby is about 5 months and weighs 15 pounds, they are able to sleep through the night without waking for a feeding...granted they're receiving enough milk during the day. You should consult your lactation consultant as your weaning. This website is great for after you've weaned at night www.mybabysleepsatnight.com
