Candle Light

Mellow Yellow is coming again! I captured the candle light on our table while I and my husband were watching a football match (Germany vs. Spain) at a restaurant that night. I love the beauty and the warmth of it. I also enjoy the chocolate and French fries; it can make me keep awake during the match…

Choosing Baby Bedding Tips

Is your unborn baby coming to home in the short times ahead? Have you already prepared to welcome your baby at home? Arranging a baby room or at least choosing appropriate bedding for your baby is one of most important things that you should consider. Here are the tips on choosing the right baby bedding:

1.Comfort.Parents always concern with their children secure and comfortable. The crib will provide the security, and the bedding will provide the comfort to your baby. It is important to buy bedding that is extremely comfortable for your baby’s delicate skin.

Here are the tips on choosing the right mattress:

• Select the mattress that is not too soft or too firm.


• A springy mattress will be very comfortable but it isn’t appropriate for your new born baby. It may endanger your baby; as a very springy mattress can at times be trampoline like.


• A steel coil mattress is firmer, safer and essentially more durable.


• The idea is to find mattresses that will support your baby’s back which is developing.
  

2. Safety.The material should have the right about of softness which won’t in any way harm your baby. The mattress should fit into the crib exactly. The crib should be measured before the mattress is fit in so as to allow the correct fit. It should be comfy enough to keep your baby safe and out of any danger. A loose fitting mattress can leave gaps and baby’s can fall into them, often hurting themselves.

3. Durability.
The bedding should be in good quality and the maintenance of it should also be easy. After all, no one wants to be spending precious time that they can spend with their baby on washing bedding instead.

Mellow Yellow: At the Mall

When we’re wandering a mall, we often see interesting things, right? I don’t shop clothes often, but I love to see big discounted items. Who doesn’t? Perhaps I can find good stuffs in best prices…

For Mellow Yellow, I share here two photos; sale items and children on a ‘golden carriage’. All are captured by a camera phone. I asked their mother’s permission to capture her children.

New Practical Uses of Everyday Items

Sharon Tanenbaum and Ashley Tate wrote this article. Have you noticed that every day items like rubber bands, tooth picks, post-it note, salt, and many more have many new uses? It’s interesting. Check this out:

Rubber Bands
1. Open jars with ease. When a small lid won’t budge, wrap a rubber band around it several times to give you a better grip.
2. Decorate Easter eggs. Arrange rubber bands in a pattern around hard-boiled eggs, then dip them into dye. Remove the bands when the eggs are dry.

3. Bring order to your dishwasher. Tether stemware and other delicate, wobbly items to the rack.
4. Wrap a gift. Use multiple colored rubber bands instead of ribbon to add modern flair to a small present. (Particularly handy when you can’t find the tape.)

Toothpicks
1. Label meat. Are these burgers rare or well-done? They all look the same on the outside. Identify just-off-the-grill meats with different-colored toothpicks and they won’t get mixed up.
2. Find the end of the roll. When you’ve finished using tape, wrap the end around a toothpick so you can easily locate it the next time.
3. Glue beads and sequins. Use the sharp ends to apply teensy items to a craft project.

4. Sew a better button. Place a toothpick between the button and fabric so it doesn’t go on too tightly and end up tough to fasten.
5. Press a gadget’s Reset button. What fits perfectly into that tiny hole? You guessed it.
