When you buy your infant carrier or car seat, put the manual with your car manual. We keep both of ours in the glove box. That way when you realize your Little One is starting to outgrow it, or you have a question, it's nice and handy and easy to find.

It is very difficult to assess your baby's body temperature. There's a good rule to follow when dressing a newborn or infant that cannot tell you they're too hot or to cold. First, always have them wear one more layer than you. If you're comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt, then have them wear pants, a onesie and a light sweater or blanket. Then if you're still unsure, say at night time when the sun goes down, you can always feel a baby's actual temperature easier by feeling the back of their neck. It is the most accurate spot.

I have had some success in selling some of my art. One piece went to a dear friend and another to a couple with 2 children. I am inspired to continue drawing, and I need to get on finishing my alphabet and counting cards to sell on Esty.com The couple suggested it, and I have come up with a selling price for some of the work. Although I am more interested in selling prints (as they're easier for obvious reasons) then I am custom work, I still believe the custom work will pay off.

I have procrastinated a little today by starting to build a new website. I think I will use it as a reward for when my other projects (see to do list below) is completed. Once all of it has been checked off I will then continue to build the site.

I have one more item to push to the priority list though - I have been asked to design the logo for the Therapeutic Clowns International. That will not take too long, so I'm not too concerned about that.
