A Look At Shopping And Spring Cleaning

 
Is it time you emptied out and sorted through the bedroom and cupboards to start and get ready for a much needed shop?

Firstly plan so you do not impulse buy, look through the wardrobe and place in a black bin liner all the items that do not fit, or have never fitted. Fold them up and put them in later they can go to a charity shop to be reused by the community.

Plan items that can be wore over and over again, an item for work such as a well made pair of trousers or a skirt. An item to wear on occasions such as a dress for a wedding or party, An item such as the staple little black dress that can be played down with pumps or dressed up for an evening out.

For the staple items buy from a shop that you know in the past has lasted it does not have to be top end designer just a well made high street store that has done you well in the past.

Fun items can be bought after the main most worn most needed items have been bought, these can be impulse if you like but always stop and think, how often will I really wear this, and is it worth the money?

Try every single item on before you buy, only buy what fits' right now in this moment. How many times do people get the smaller size and say I will fit in to it, if you do this you will end up having nothing to wear again. When you are thinner go shopping again but for now buy what fits.

Try to go shopping on a day that is not mostly busy as this will mean hours queuing for the fitting rooms.

Keep the receipt of all the items in case you get home and change your mind.

Managing a Family With a Travel Nursing Career




With a struggling economy many families are forced to come up with creative ways to make ends meet. Cutting expenses by eliminating luxury items, taking staycations instead of expensive vacations, reducing the number of meals eaten at restaurants, shoppManaging a Family With a Travel Nursing Careering at thrift stores, and using coupons are just a few ways people are reducing their bills. But the creativity does not stop at saving money; people are also exploring new ideas for making money. Returning to school and making a move to cities with better job opportunities are just two of the ways people are adapting to our changing world of work.

Even RNs are looking at the job market with different eyes. Although the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects more than 581,500 new RN positions will be created through 2018, which will increase the size of the RN workforce by 22%, the current economy has temporarily made it harder to find permanent nursing positions. An alternative that many experienced RNs are turning to is Travel Nursing. Travel nurses typically enjoy higher salaries, more bonuses, comparable benefits as well as the opportunity to travel and work in different parts of the country. Add in the fact that travelers experience less hospital politics as well as a chance to quickly build upon their skills and you can understand why now is the time to explore travel nursing!

While travel nursing seems ideal for younger single nurses or empty-nesters, more married couples with children are exploring the option as well. And it just makes sense - taking a travel nurse position is an ideal way to replace the lost income and benefits when a nurse's spouse has lost his/her job. Parents with children are finding travel nursing to be a viable solution as well and say that juggling family life with a travel nurse job is well worth the effort - and even adds to the quality of their family life.

When weighing in the benefits and opportunities travel nursing jobs provide RNS, parents should take a look at these considerations:

    * Consider home schooling your children to avoid making your children change schools multiple times. Resources for home schooling are plentiful. And talk about an opportunity for your children to learn more about geography and their country first hand!
    * If both parents are RNs they can ask to work different shifts so that one parent can be home with the children at all times.
    * Higher salaries allow families to consider day care, special after school programs, or nannies.
    * Check out available positions within a few hours from home so it's possible to drive back/forth on the days you work or even travel home on weekends or your days off.
    * Traveling nurse positions often lead to full time employment; it's a great way to test drive a new position, new city, new hospital.

While the idea of having a traveling nurse career and managing a family can seem daunting, it's important to remember that once a routine is established families soon realize the benefits the position provides. When considering a career as a traveling nurse, remember to keep an open mind, weigh your options, and always think creatively!

Advantage RN, nationally recognized as one of the fastest-growing staffing companies in the country, is a top-paying travel nurse staffing company employing nurses and other healthcare professionals for travel assignments at hospitals and other medical facilities across the country. If you are looking for a new opportunity in the nursing field, consider a career as a travel nurse. Travel nursing allows you to gain professional experience fast. Working in a variety of environment with different procedures and equipment ensures you are always learning and enhancing your skill set. Consider combining your career with the adventure travel nursing provides. Contact Advantage RN to learn how you can get started!

what were doing

Here's what's happening at our house these days:

Being inspired


all of us: The Bauhaus show at Moma Two visits and two books later, we're all still talking and thinking about the show.

Reading


Me: The Pushcart War, by Jean Merrill: Remember this book? I'm enjoying re-reading it and catching the vocal inflections of the characters this time around. I keep thinking about the Essex Street Market in our neighborhood, which was apparently started when the pushcarts were moved to a permanent location to get them out of the way on the streets. It's still a great place to shop.


Tsia: Socks, the last of our lengthy Beverly Clearly list. Now that we've reached the end, can anyone suggest other books for us? We prefer non-scary books that a four-year-old can relate to.


Todd: catching up on old issues of The New Yorker, which is also next on my to-read list.

Listening

http://family-travel-magazine.blogspot.com/http://family-travel-magazine.blogspot.com/
Tsia: They Might Be Giants, No! This is a fun CD, in part, because she can play it on our computer and enjoy little games while she listens. I keep singing the little ditties to myself, too.


Todd and me: Radiolab. So interesting and thought-provoking. But we're public-radio geeks, I guess. Musically, Miriam Makeba is currently at the top of my want-to-hear list. Can anyone suggest a favorite album to try?

Watching


Doc Martin on Hulu.com. We want to visit the little fishing town in Cornwall where this British TV series is filmed. Gorgeous. And a very funny show in that wonderful understated British manner. If there were more programs like this, we'd probably get a TV!

Helvetica documentary. I've been meaning to see this for quite a while.
Lots of questions (sewing-related and other) on formspring. Anything you want to know?

post

My friend Michelle has been doing a lot of letterpress printing for some of her recent art projects, and she clued me in to these fantastic deckle-edge cards by Fabriano. They're inexpensive and support all sorts of media gracefully. Tsia and I have been using them to make our own Thank You cards with watercolor, pen and ink, and whatever else we have on hand. I love the texture and weight of the paper. It feels very luxurious.



I should point out that the cards are a rather unusual size, and it isn't easy to find matching envelopes. Believe me, I tried. I thought I'd find some fun colors to pair them with, but it wasn't meant to be, despite trying our fantastic local paper and envelope supply shop. So the coordinating envelopes are well worth the additional cost. Just keep that in mind...

valentines

We took our Valentine's Day preparation cues from Brooke this year and wrapped matchboxes with decorative papers. The inside of each box is also lined with a little piece of colored paper onto which Tsia wrote a personal message for each recipient. She really enjoyed this project, and it took use most of a Sunday afternoon but was very easy to do.


We hand selected the Jelly Bellies to fit our color palette, as we are wont to do, from Economy Candy.



Brooke just mentioned that her idea has also been featured at Brides.com including a pdf for the patterned paper she used.

kids clothing

For Tsia: new flannel PJs. Size 5 so they're extra long to account for the way flannel continues to shrink for a few washings and because she just keeps growing. Made with my favorite print from Sandi Henderson's first fabric collection.


An extra pair of PJ pants were made because, well, accidents happen. The ability to make more than one pair of matching PJ pants is certainly another advantage of sewing them yourself, yes?

functioning, barely

I got nailed by the flu last week and am still under the weather six days later, so not much of anything has been done around here recently. However, Tsia and I were making a few final Valentines yesterday afternoon and accidentally discovered how much fun it is to watercolor paint on paper doilies.


I'm not sure what we'll do with these, but for now I'm just enjoying looking at them. Especially since that's about all the energy I have these days.

Family Circle Magazine


When you are standing in line at the grocery store, it seems inevitable to pick up a magazine and flip through it. The magazines range from TV guide, celebrity gossip, to women's health, help and love. Family Circle Magazine was the first women's magazine to be placed on the grocery store line.

This is why people find that it is more than simply a magazine; it is a guide to being a successful parent and enjoying family life for everyone.

Family Circle Magazine is one of the "Seven Sisters." This is a group of seven women-oriented magazines, with Ladies' Home Journal, McCall's, Good Housekeeping, Better Homes and Gardens, Woman's Day, and Redbook being the others.

Family Circle Magazine has come so far since its fist edition in the 1930's, and it also launched a social network called Momster.com in November 2009. The site is for moms of preteens and teens. Like the magazine, the website is full of information on raising teens. Moms discuss how to deal with problems with the "normal" teen-age life.

Some of 2010's Most Popular Family Vacation Travel Spots


Figuring out some of the best travel and leisure family vacations is hard to do. Going on vacation with children, especially young children, can be a hassle. What is the easiest way of getting there, are there activities for everyone in the family, are there resources that allow you to be able to go off without the kids (if you'd want to) and is it reasonably priced?

Family vacation travel time is supposed to be a time of family bonding. Of doing things together and making memories while also staying on a budget and being safe. This list of top vacation spots will give you ideas on how to make your family travel vacations worthwhile.


1. Orlando, Florida - Orlando is known as the theme park capital of the world! Along with Disney World and Universal Studios (which houses the new Harry Potter theme park), there are also water parks and hotels with "beach pools" in this land locked city for everyone to enjoy a day on the beach. Disney World usually has deals for families no matter what time of the year it is. For great Orlando vacation package deals click here.


2. Cancun and Mayan Riviera - a two for one deal. The two are extremely accessible to one another; can easily make a day trip to whichever you don't stay in. Cancun's 25-kilometer Hotel Zone has shopping, dining, urban pleasures and beaches. Although very crowded, Cancun also has slightly more secluded areas like Club Med Cancun Yucatan on the end of a peninsula. The Mayan Riviera is a bit more low-key and has Mayan ruins, snorkeling and an Xcaret eco-theme park. Keep in mind the exchange rate.

3. Caribbean All-Inclusive Resorts - If you are looking for wet family vacation travel, look no farther. Caribbean resorts have beaches, water sports and amazing kids clubs to give you some alone time.

4. Williamsburg, Virginia - Williamsburg is a secret treasure of the east coast that combines history with roller coasters! Busch Gardens and Water Country USA are two theme parks just outside the city. The city itself has actors and volunteers portraying people from over 200 years ago, bringing you back to an age right before the American Revolution.

5. Arizona - Usually overlooked for vacationers by its neighboring states of California and Nevada, Arizona offers just as much for family vacation travel for half the price. Monument Valley, the Colorado River, Lake Powell and the Grand Canyon are breathtaking natural beauties where the family can learn about the native Navajo as well as have exciting raft rides. There are also dude ranches and the Wild West for those young children who want to grow up to be a cowboy.

6. Myrtle Beach and South Carolina - Myrtle Beach is the most widely visited place in South Carolina. It borders 60 miles of beaches called the Great Strand. Although one of the most visited places in America, it is a budget and child-friendly place; many of the hotels have activities for children. Theme parks and a boardwalk add to the excitement of this small town city.

7. Hershey, Pennsylvania - "Chocolate Town, USA" is the home of Hersheypark, voted top amusement park by FamilyFun Magazine. If the aroma of chocolate is too much to handle, there is also the Dutch Wonderland Amusement Park and the Hotel Hershey. The town is an affordable alternative to the more expensive Philadelphia which is only 90 minutes away and New York City which is three hours north.

8. Wisconsin Dells - This quant town of only 4,000 is the indoor water park capital of the world. Over 20 resorts have indoor water parks. Many also offer outdoor attractions in the summer.

9. Southern California Vacation Spots - The LA and San Diego area might be expensive, but is filled with great travel and leisure family vacations spots. Disney Land (which is much smaller than its counterpart in Florida) houses the Magic Kingdom and California Adventure parks. Legoland has rides, live shows and towns made up of millions of Lego blocks.

10. Oahu, Hawaii - Oahu has the best of two worlds; the upbeat exciting city of Waikiki on the southern end of the island, and the less developed quieter northern end of the 597 sq. mile island. The family can learn about American history at Pearl Harbor as well as explore the oceans by boat trips, dolphin shows, surf lessons and Atlantis submarine outings.
