Tattoo Designs and Ideas For Rib Cage Tattoos

Rib cage tattoos are special and one of kind considering the pain that one has to go through to get this body art done. Since most designs done for this area are usually on a bigger scale, it normally takes more than one session to have it fully inked. The greatest thing about this is the fact that its covered much of the time which makes it an ideal spot for larger tattoos, or for tats that need to be inconspicuous.

Infant Cribs

A typical human rib cage consists of 24 bones arranged in 12 pairs and acts as protectors of the organs in the upper body. And yes, they are definitely bony areas which means more pain during tattooing with the absence of fats and tissues that supposedly serve as padding to the skin. These are just some important facts to take into consideration before jumping into this decision.

Infant Cribs

One of the hardest parts about getting a tattoo is deciding on what designs to go for. Since these are forever, you have to be sure that its what you really want. When deciding on what art or image to go for in the rib cage, you have to remember that this is a big canvas, there are ample space for your tattoo artist to work on.

If you have a principle that you live by, you can always embody it through your favorite quotation or verse. Of course, you can't always go wrong with flower tats, you can still be unique since there are hundreds of floral kinds to choose from. A lot of animal tattoos have great symbolical meaning so they are another great options. So go creative, think outside the box, use your wildest imaginations. Remember, you are getting a unique and edgy rib cage tattoos that others would not even dare so make it stand out and extraordinary.

13 Nature Activities to Do With Your Toddler!

Find adventure and encourage bonding with these easy, outdoor activities designed to connect your tiny explorer with nature. Bring your family together, stimulate awareness and curiosity in your child, and feel the benefits and calming pace offered by the natural world. Each activity can be done with ages 18 months and up. All you need is a little sense of pint-sized adventure!

Infant Cribs

Bug Eyes: Get on your bellies and study the terrain from a bug's eye view! Pick one small area of the yard to explore with a hand lens. Look for bugs under rocks and watch them with a hand lens.

Infant Cribs

Rocky Puppy: Rock collecting starts early with curious minds. Begin with just collecting in your yard. Move on to arranging rocks by size or color; stack them, make patterns, lines-or better yet, just let your little rock hound arrange those new finds as he pleases. Just remind him that rocks do not like to fly.

Story Time al Fresco: There's nothing like a simple change of scenery to excite the senses. Try story time under the stars for a new twist on old favorites! You could even follow up with sleeping outdoors. From fellow adventurer, Tracy Albrecht

"Pooh Sticks:" An old favorite, inspired of course, by Winnie the Pooh. Gather sticks and drop them in a stream, watch them float away. Even better if you can do it from a small bridge, watching for them to emerge on the other side. Our 3-year old son would do this for hours if we let him.

Hue See That? Another one of our 3-year old's favorites for over a year now. Use colored or construction paper, paint sample strips (we've laminated ours for all of its use), crayons, or the ROYGBIV spectrum to help your child match colors found in your yard. From GreenTeacher

Species Safari: Create your own tiny explorer field guide-keep it simple, for example cut and paste photos/illustrations of bugs or ants, yellow flower, tree, etc. Take your child on a walk around the neighborhood or a nearby nature area and mark off each critter and plant she can find.

Teddy Bear Tracking: Draw or print out a set of 12 paw prints (~3"- 4"); cut out and hang at child level, around your yard or campsite for your toddler to "track" to a teddy bear you've place sitting in a low tree, sturdy bush or other semi-hidden spot for him to find. Delightful fun and a favorite with preschoolers!

The Secret Garden: Choose a place in your yard--under a special bush, at the base of a favorite tree, or even a large planter--where your toddler can create her own unique garden to plant collected rocks, sticks, plastic dinosaurs...anything she wishes that makes it uniquely hers.

Nature Bracelet: Wrap a piece of masking tape to your child's wrist, sticky side up. As you explore, help him attach colorful leaves, flowers, and other interesting discoveries to his bracelet. When done, use scissors to snip off the nature bracelet. Display on a bulletin board, shelf, or wall. From FamilyEducation

Follow the Leader: Start out as the leader and buzz a flower, hop around a tree, step over a rock, flap over to the hose, etc. Then switch to let your little one lead...

Backyard Harvest: If you have any trees with edible fruit, let your little one help you harvest your fresh crop, then share the organic snack! Create a bouquet of garden flowers with your toddler for tonight's center piece (just make sure to watch for poisonous plants or defenses like thorns, spines or burrs). From family.go

Moon Face: Take your child on a moonlight walk in your backyard during the full moon.

Treasure Bucket: Perfect for toddlers who like to collect things...and dump them out only to refill it again. Use a small toy bucket or container they can manage. Collect leaves, rocks, small trash flown in after a windy day, or specially hidden toys. If collecting natural items from your yard, it's a good opportunity to teach the non-removal of things from protected areas. Have them dump their bucket outside, leaving their natural items where "they live." If picking up trash, have them wear gloves, make sure what they're picking up is "safe" and have them empty their buckets in the trash can to teach good environmental habits.

Unique Christmas Tree Themes

If you are a style maven who is a bit bored with the traditional then you might be interested in unique christmas tree themes. Here are some unique suggestions for christmas tree themes that are sure to be real conversation starters.

Infant Cribs

The Christmas Cocktail Party Tree

Infant Cribs

This christmas tree theme looks great on both big and small trees. First, if your tree is not a prelit tree try stringing it with a string of novelty lights instead of the usual egg shaped lights. You can buy plastic novelty lights in the shape of Chinese Lanterns (for a 50's feel), chili peppers (for that modern martini bar feel) and Pink Flamingos (for that Tikki cocktail party atmosphere.)

Then try decorating the tree with tiny cocktail parasols and multicolored cocktail picks. If your tree is really big you could also decorate it with plastic champagne glasses into which you have glued sequins or glitter. Miniature chocolates filled with liquor also make nice tree decorations.

The Gingerbread Tree

This most gorgeous of christmas tree themes never goes out of style. It looks best on a green or red tree. Decorate it with gingerbread man cookies, red glass balls, tons of candy canes, red velvet bows
and homemade paper snowflake ornaments.

This tree looks great accented it with white or gold beaded garland or a bushy red or white tinsel garland. or icicle-look garland. Top it with a Christmas themed stuffed white or brown teddy bear.

The Chocolate and Gold Tree

This is probably the trendiest of the christmas tree themes described here. It looks great on a red artificial tree. The color scheme in this case is reds, browns and golds. Tiny twinkling gold and red
lights look best. Think of the eighties when you decorate this one. Decorate this tree with walnuts, pinecones and chocolates wrapped in foil. Gold coins are a nice touch. Then tie large transclucent gold
and red ribbons, using the kind of ribbon that has bendable wire inside onto the ends of the trees. The ultimate effect of this tree should be very opulent and lush.

The New Baby Tree

If you are celebrating the birth of a child or a child's first birthday this is a great tree to honor how happy you are about the new arrival in your home. The decorations suggested look great on
any kind of tree but you could consider buying a small blue or pink artificial tree. This is a good idea so any toddlers or infants around can't get ahold of any shed needles. Also if you buy prelit artificial trees then you don't have to worry about them yanking lights and pulling the whole thing down. If you have lots of toddlers around then you might want to opt for a small ceramic christmas tree until they are old enough not to grab at decorations and xmas tree limbs.

Pink, mint green, lavender and blue frosted glass christmas balls look particularly nice on pink or blue artificial trees. You can also decorate these trees with baby toys, baby bottles filled with candy,
teddy bears, baby booties and socks, pacifiers and wooden alphabet blocks. Little stuffed animals look great on this type of tree and a larger teddy bear or soft plush toy makes a great tree topper. If the
baby is a girl you might want to consider topping the tree with a doll dressed as an angel.

The Peppermint Twist Tree

This most minimalist of christmas tree themes looks fantastic on a bright white, prelit artificial tree. The color scheme of this is red and white but you can add a touch of green in the lights that you
string around it. Purists however think that keeping the whole thing red and white in every way looks best.

When it comes to the decorations stick with red and white round glass balls. Red and white frosted glass balls look much better than the conical ones. Also festoon the branches with as many red and white peppermint candy canes as you can find. Remember too that you can also stripe red or white christmas balls with white or red glitter by simply adding some glue in a striped shape to the ball and rolling it in the glitter.

You can also accent this look with red and white ball shaped peppermint candies. A large lollipop with red and white striping and surrounded by a sunburst bouquet of candy canes makes a great tree
topper.

The Sea Side Tree

This most unusual of christmas tree themes looks best on artificial trees in aqua or light blue colors. However it would also suit any tree that has a coral color such as light orange or pink.

This tree is decorated with treasures from the sea including seashells, sea horses, and ornaments made from aquarium decorations (treasure chests, coins and corals.) Strings of pearls can be used as
a garland and novelty lights shaped like seashells or even fish can be strung to enhance the aquatic theme.

The Snow and Ice Tree

This is one of the most unusual of christmas tree themes as it is white and icy blue instead of the more familiar red and green. First decorate it with a garland of novelty lights shaped like icicles or snowflakes. Your decorations should be made of see through plastic or crystal so it looks like the tree is dripping with frozen, glittering shapes. Instead of cotton batten, drape the tree with faux spider
webs or cotton shreddings to simulate boughs heavy with snow. You can even mound this cotton at the ends of the bough so it looks like it has been clumped there.

Your final step is to spray the whole thing down generously with flocking. Flocking is simulated snow that comes in an aerosol can. You can spray this stuff on just about any kind of tree including artificial prelit christmas trees and ceramic trees to make them look frostier.

This treatment is stunning on a white artificial tree but it also looks great on red, purple, blue or other artificial trees as all of the white provides a nice contrast to the tree's original color.

Too Cute Pink and Brown Crib Bedding Ideas

Using pink and brown crib bedding in your new baby girl's nursery is a lovely idea, and the options for these colors are numerous. Whether making the purchase for yourself or as a gift for someone else the first step is choosing the right shades of pink and brown. The colors should match the rest of the items in the room like the curtains and the paint. Once this decision is made you can look into the designs. Though not all patterns may come in the shades chosen there is always the option of having the bedding personally made or making it yourself.

Infant Cribs

If you haven't chosen the colors for the nursery,or if it is a gift and you're not sure of the exact colors, darker shades are a good place to start. The crib bedding can also be a great starter for the nursery decorations. Darker shade are often less common than the lighter or brighter shade but they do have their benefits. Not only are they great for parents who want something different but they also still look great after fading from use and washing, as all bedding will fade in time. Another benefit is that stains caused by the baby won't be as noticeable on darker colors.

Infant Cribs

Colors are important, however, so is the design. Pink and brown crib bedding make it fun and easy to stick to the nursery theme as most anything can be found in these colors. Tadpole bedding is extremely cute, it has a pink background and border with brown tadpoles and frogs all over it. Insects like caterpillars and butterflies can also be found as well as farm animals and pets. Cats, dogs, horses and cows are among the more popular but there are plenty of other animal options out there.

Disney, as well as other cartoon characters, are also wonderful nursery ideas. Winnie the Pooh is by far the highest in demand so finding his crib bedding in different shades of pink and brown wouldn't be difficult at all. Others that are popular are princesses and fairies, like Tinkerbell. Precious Moments has become a little more difficult to find these days but are often made in pink and brown colors.

Although any pattern can be used with these colors, those are the more common. If you aren't looking for theme and just want colors take a look at the stripes, blocks and checkers, solids with borders, or the reversible bedding with one color on each side. Every parent wants the nursery to be perfect so take the extra time to find the right pink and brown crib bedding for that special baby girl.

Recalls On Baby Cribs - What Smart Parents Need To Know

All baby cribs that are manufactured in the United States must comply with strict safety standards and guidelines. These safety standards are continually being updated based on new information. Cribs produced since 1974 meet certain safety standards. However, since the safety standards are under constant review there have been updates to the standards through the years since then.

Infant Cribs

There have been many recalls on baby cribs and baby products through the years. Recalls happen when there has been substantial evidence to show that a particular feature on a crib is unsafe and can cause imminent harm to a baby or infant. Sometimes numerous accidents have occurred to prompt a crib recall.

Infant Cribs

Every parent needs to be sure that the crib is safe for their baby before they purchase it. You cannot rely solely on an inspection tag or a sticker, which shows that the crib meets current safety standards. While this tag is a start, it is certainly not the end of your obligation to keep your child safe. Baby crib recalls may have happened since production and you can't count on the store that is selling the crib to know of all the recalls.

To be safe, all parents need to check their child's crib for recall information. This can easily be done using the Internet. Many baby sites post recall information that is updated as well as archived for easy retrieval. The first site to check is the manufacturer of the crib itself. Each company will always list any recalled products that they have made. There are other sites you can visit as well to check on baby crib recalls. If you can't find any information you can inquire to the company to verify that there has been no recall on the specific product in question.

· recalls.gov

This site provides information on all types of recalled products in the United States.

· http://www.jpma.org

The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association is a group that oversees the manufacture of children's products including cribs. They have specific information that pertains to recalled products.

· parents.com

This site devoted to parents provides comprehensive recall information on baby cribs as well as all types of infant and children's products.

· babyhomesafety.com

This site is devoted to providing parents with important child safety information as well as recall information.

In addition to checking for crib recalls as a parent you need to continue to inspect the baby crib once it is in use. Check it at least monthly for stability. Make sure that no hardware is loose or missing, which could pose a choking hazard to infants. Check all the slats of the crib to make sure that none are loose. Feel the slats to make sure that there are no rough edges. Check the mechanism on the sides of any cribs that have them to make sure that they are working properly and that they cannot be pushed down easily.

Recalls on baby cribs should always be taken seriously. Don't assume that the recall doesn't apply to your situation. Instead be proactive by writing down the specific model number and purchase date as well as manufacture date of your baby crib. Keep this handy for future reference. If there is a recall always find out what the recommended procedure is for fixing the problem. Sometimes the company provides a retrofit kit at no charge that will correct the problem. Remove your child from the crib until the situation is resolved. I also have written an article on how to shop for the best rated baby cribs.

Discount Baby Cribs - Eco Friendly Nursery Furniture on a Budget

When choosing the furniture for your baby's nursery, it is easy to get carried away. With so many beautiful cribs to choose from, selecting the perfect baby crib can wreak havoc on your wallet; but with careful shopping, you can find baby cribs on a budget that will provide the style and charm you want for your baby without tapping into your little one's college fund!

Infant Cribs

For the eco-conscious parent, buying a discount baby crib presents an even bigger challenge; eco-friendly often equates to more expensive, and most "green" baby furniture may be out of reach for those on a tight budget. Fortunately, there is a crib that can satisfy both requirements.

Infant Cribs

Graco is now offering an eco-friendly baby crib for an average price of around 0. The Graco Dakota Classic Crib combines classic style with environmentally sound construction. Built from wood harvested from sustainable forests and finished with water-based paints, this rich-looking baby crib provides a healthy and environmentally friendly sleeping solution for your new arrival. Even the shipping materials are manufactured from recycled or recyclable materials.

At such a low price, this handsome crib still has plenty to offer. It has been constructed in full compliance with safety regulations and fits a standard crib mattress of 51 5/8" long by 27 1/4" wide by 5 1/2" high.  It also comes with the following convenient features:

Three-position adjustable mattress height; Locking rollers for ease of moving and safety; Easy conversion to toddler bed or day bed; also functions as a full-size headboard (frame not included); Five-year limited warranty.Assembly is required, but clear instructions are provided.  The only drawback is the lack of drop sides - but while this is harder on the caregiver's back, the lack of moving parts is actually a plus on the side of safety.

The dark walnut finish of this attractive baby crib complements any decor, and as a bonus, it is possible to purchase a matching changing table.  Whether you are going for a modern look, licensed characters, or a traditional baby nursery, this crib will suit your choice of decor.

The best part about purchasing baby cribs on a budget is that you will be able to apply the savings to the most important feature of your baby's nursery - the crib mattress.   For expectant parents, creating an adorable and attractive nursery is a big part of the excitement of preparing for a new arrival; but if the truth be told, your newborn is not interested in the appearance of her crib.

What is truly important is the crib mattress.  Studies have shown that conventional baby mattresses contain thousands of harmful chemicals that can affect your baby's long-term health.  Pediatric experts frequently recommend purchasing an organic baby mattress, which will provide a safe and healthy sleeping environment without exposing your little one to harmful toxins.  As you prepare for the birth of your precious child, be sure to consider discount baby cribs as part of your baby's nursery.
