Party Planning Success Tips for a Spectacular Baby Shower

New mom parties are the ideal way to show joy, hope, and excitement to any soon-to-be-mom. With her friends and family around her, she can feel at ease about the expectant baby. Even better is when she is given all of the supplies that she needs to set up her baby’s nursery so she’s totally ready for the big day. Baby showers are also a great opportunity to get the girls together for a fun time of laughter and games.

Baby Shower Decorations

Decorations are always great, because they set the joyous vibe for the entire party. If you don’t know the sex of the baby, choose neutrals that would suit either sex. It creates a light and happy color theme! The cake can even add to the decor; add small plastic baby bottle favors and rattles, etc. that can be purchased from a discount party supplier. They add novelty to the cake as well as to the purpose of the event.

Basic Gifts Ideas

If you are the person throwing the party, be sure your new mom has either enlisted at a department store or Internet vendor to give the guests ideas as to what she would like as gifts. An alternative to this would be for her to make a list of what she doesn’t yet have, perhaps baby crib, a Fisher Price baby swing, or even a baby car seat. Specify the colors and styles she prefers in the invitations and let the guests do the rest! If she needs a infant car seat, describe kinds that will change as the baby grows, from newborn through booster seat, for example. If she needs a baby buggy, suggest to the guests a few types that will allow for baby car seat to be set on it for easy transitioning from the car to the stroller. A Baby Einstein gym is an especially helpful gift because it permits mom to do things while the infant is being soothed and entertained. The best kinds are the ones that have a pull-off baby carrier so mom can bring baby into another room without disturbing them.

Games and Fun

Baby showers are known for their quirkiness and silly games. A game that is especially fun is “Don’t Say That Word” such as “baby” or “girl” or “boy”. Another favorite is a baby food game where the guests either smell or taste various flavors of baby food and try to guess what fruit or vegetable it is. A game that’s really fun as well is where a diaper is passed around, musical-chairs style, and inside of the diaper is a scoop of warm fudge topping. This one is sure to get tons of laughs from the party guests! Don’t forget prizes for the winning players; it is suggested that you choose girly gifts like scented bath accessories, fresh pots of flowers or plants, gift cards, or a gift bag full of something themed such as “all-things-manicure-related”.

Be sure to give the expectant mother all she needs and you’ll have given her the best baby shower. The party is also a great time for friends and family to support her and have a great time. Nothing’s better than your guests saying that the party was the best they’ve ever attended!

It’s Not Hard to Say Thank You

Saying the words “thank you” is one of the first lessons a child must learn by example at home. Showing gratitude and making it a habit is a trait that can take one anywhere. Politicians, actors, and musicians say these words in every speech delivery possible. Why would they not when they will be nowhere close to where they are without their supporters and fans.

Pronouncing these two words does not have to be verbal all the time. A flower delivery accompanied by lavender tea bags in the afternoon is a good way to thank your editor for staying up all night, proofreading your manuscript to the last word. Kids show appreciation to their favorite teachers by giving them the juiciest and reddest apple, their mom’s infamous brownies, and drawings of their entire class by the school garden complete with multi-colored butterflies and doodled flowers. While they are crossing their fingers for monetary bonuses, staff members usually just get pizza and pasta from their bosses for bagging a new client.

It is especially beneficial to show gratitude in romantic relationships. The habit of frequently thanking your partner or as they say, being “romantically polite”, not only shows your appreciation but it also boosts his or her ego overtime. In addition, when you thank your partner for even the simplest gesture, the cheapest gift, or just for giving you a casual complement, it cues him that you liked what he just did or gave. This will definitely go down in this mental notebook as the things that please you and he in turn will do it more often.

Your options on how to say thank you, as a romantic partner is almost bottomless. Flowers and chocolates are and have always been good thank you tokens. Giving his dog a bath or bringing his car to the carwash is will guarantee a good karma. Handing the remote over during season finals and not talking during the game might sound silly but this will go a long way to some men.

Since gratitude is relative, saying or showing thank you can also be overdone. The key is to keep the delivery of your appreciation in the same or just a little over the gravity of the gift or gesture you have received. The only exception to this rule that I can think of would be saying thank you to your parents, your brother’s heart transplant donor, or the woman who gave you three beautiful children that you can just look at the whole day.

A Near Death Experience Gives Gift Of Healing Music

This is my story about me dying in a car wreck and from that car wreck, I was given this gift of composing music. Many people attribute their healings from listening to this music. I am not a musician and I can’t explain how I compose this music. My life and thousands of other people’s lives worldwide have greatly changed from listening to these compositions.


Many people call it, miracle music. Also, other people who have had near death experiences, have heard my music on the other side while they were dead. I can’t deny the phenomenon that has been happening in my life or in other people’s lives when listening to this music. And, no one can explain it. This is an amazing story that may change your life.


A truck rear ended my car and I died instantly.


All the traffic was at a stand still and a truck not paying attention to traffic, blasted into the rear end of my car. Not wearing a safety belt, I was thrown against the windshield and all of a sudden I was in this white silver light. A man’s voice, whom I couldn’t see, said to me “You can either come with us now, or you can go back.” When he said this to me, I thought of my computer studio that I had built. It took me ten years to build it and I had just finished it three days before this accident. I built this studio from an engineering point of view to see if I could do it. The next thing I knew, I was back in my injured body.


How the music started pouring through me like Niagara Falls.


After I recovered from my injuries a year later, I went into my computer studio for the first time. When I turned on all the equipment, I suddenly felt real tired. I thought this was strange since I had a good nights sleep, but I couldn’t fight it. So, I laid my head back on my chair and took a nap.


Suddenly I was engulfed in all this music and color. It seemed like a few minutes in this lucid dream, but when I opened my eyes, it was eight hours later. I was shocked. Then I noticed my control panel flashing which indicated that something had been recorded. I put the equipment in play mode and this music came over my sound system. It was the same music that I had just experienced in this lucid dream.


How the music became public.


I had joined a meditation class during this time in my life. I was curious and wanted to know more about it. After my experience in the studio, I thought this music would be great for meditation. So I took a copy of it to class. Everyone loved the music and my friend Leona pulled me over after class and said the following, “Marcey, you have a gift and you need to get this music out into the world.” I thought my friend had lost all of her senses. I told her she was nuts and went home.


Leona wouldn’t let this go. She called me everyday until I made this music public. After many months, I finally made her agree that if I went to a public fair on a weekend to sell my music, would she leave me alone. She said she would.


I named my first composition Inward Harmony. I took my music to a weekend fair with a table and two chairs. I set it up so someone could sit down and relax with the music using a headset.


My first customer heard my music while he was dead.


My first customer came up to my table. He put the headset on and stood there listening to my music. Within a few seconds, he turned white as a sheet. I thought my music was killing this man. I was thinking to myself that I was going to be put in jail for murder.I was getting ready to call for security when all of a sudden, this gentleman took the headset off and walked away. I fell back on my chair and was very relieved.


This man came back within thirty minutes and told me what happened. He told me that he had open heart surgery seven years prior and was pronounced dead for sixteen minutes. He told me that during the time he was dead, this music he heard on my headset, was the same music he heard while he was dead.


I started shaking. He asked me for a pen and a paper. I shakingly gave it to him. He wrote all this down on the paper, signed it and gave it back to me. He told me that he would be in my first chapter in a book that I would write some day. Then he turned around and left.


The miracles and phenomena all started happening.


From that weekend forward, my music started traveling so fast to the people by word of mouth. My first album called, Inward Harmony, reached Holland in the Netherlands within thirty days.


A lady in Ft. Worth, TX was in a house fire with second and third degree burns. She listened to Inward Harmony and within five days, her doctor could not find one blemish on her body. He couldn’t explain what happened.


A man in San Antonio, TX lost most of his hearing from working on jet engines. His wife played Inward Harmony each night while they slept and all his hearing came back.


A woman, who always had miscarriages, bought Inward Harmony in hopes the music would help her. For the first time, she was able to carry a baby to term and she had a healthy baby boy.


The testimonials continue and are endless. The phenomena that people experience with this music changes lives. I have seen plants, animals, children, adults, weather, pregnant woman, men going through mid life crisis and much more, experience miracles and all kinds healings with this music. No one can explain it.

Go enter my CD contest. The winner gets a free autographed music CD. Also, you can listen to my music and listen to people’s phenomenal testimonials. Like I always say, the proof is in the testimonials and experience is always your best teacher.

Home Piano Tutorial Easy Guide

Do you love to listen to all types of music, including classical and popular? Do you sit there listening to hours of recordings, wishing that you too had the ability to comfort and excite people with the gift of music? Although you may have tried to learn the piano when you were a young child, and had a bad experience, you should know that there are many advanced methods for learning the piano as an adult. If you have a few extra minutes every day to dedicate to a new hobby, you should know that a simple home piano tutorial has the power to change your life and the lives of those around you. You can illuminate your own gift of music with just a little dedication and creativity. Then, you will be able to contribute to the wonderful world of music instead of just listening to it.

The first thing you have to know about using tutorials to play the piano is that there are many different options and you might have to try several different programs before you find the one that works for you. The reason for this is that people all learn music differently. There are some people who really identify with the reading sheet music aspect of learning and playing music. They are able to pick up quickly on the value of the notes and where they belong on the keyboard. Some people even get so good at this that they can simply sit down at the piano, look at a piece of completely new sheet music, and start to play. Don’t worry; they’ve usually had many years of practice!

Other people gravitate more towards the learning of music by ear, or simply by the sound of the notes. Think of a song that you know really well, one that you would even be able to hum in your sleep. Many people think of Happy Birthday, or Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. These are pieces of music with very simple melodies which makes them easy to sing or hum. Once you’ve got the sound of the song ingrained in your head, the chances are that you could easily sit down at the piano and hit keys until you find the ones that sound right. This is called learning to play by ear, and it is a method highly recommended by many expert musicians. This is because you will never be lost when you don’t have music, because you can match what you hear to notes on the piano.

No matter which way you think that you would like to learn to play the piano, there are tutorials out there that will tell you how to proceed. If you think that you might need to experiment with a few different programs before you will be able to learn the style that fits your learning method best, that is alright. It is always better to try a few different options that pay for something that you don’t like. You can also look up videos and other types of tutorials that are more hands on.
