Are you or someone you know planning a baby shower in the near future. Well here's a few more tips to help you plan the baby shower of the new mom's dreams. Baby showers are one of those types of party that everyone will attend at least once in their life time. This event is a special one for the new mommy. This is where family and friends get together and bring gifts and great food to help celebrate the new bundle of joy's arrival.
First things first, you want to contact the new mom to find out what is her ideal baby shower and what she expect to gain from her baby shower. This is where you will ask the new mommy whether or not there's a particular nursery theme she has in mind. What are the colors she plan to use in the baby's room. Make sure to gather all of the information that you need in order for this to be a smooth transition.
Next, consult all family members and friends on the guest list. You want to schedule the shower during the weekend so that any and all out of town guest will be able to attend. Always make sure you consult with the new mom to see who she does and does want to attend her shower. Once you have the names and list of people attending. This is great time to send out invitations. I would suggest you send the baby shower invitations out two months in advance, so everyone can make plans to take off or travel arrangements.
This should be a fun and special event for your guest and the new mom. Plan your menu accordingly. The best types of food for a baby shower would be things like chips and dip, finger foods, and fruits (Lots of fruits). You want to always keep in mind that the new mom do not need to or want to get sick at her own shower, so PLEASE keep all hot and spicy foods away.
If you really want to have fun, brings some games for everyone to enjoy. I know for my baby shower, one of my favorite games was when everyone pull a lot of tissue from the roll so that they can guess how big my stomach was. Another cool game would be saying words that go with the words baby shower. For example, someone would say baby shower, then another person would say, diapers, and etc. If you need anymore suggestions or game ideas, just leave me a comment, and I will surely get back with you as soon as possible.
Baby Diaper Cakes and Beyond by LaTersa offers great, custom diaper cakes, towel cakes, and more extra ordinary gifts for all occasions. Diaper Cakes make great centerpieces at the baby shower or simply a beautiful gift for the new mommy.

5 Tips to becoming a better and healthier You!
5 Tips to becoming a better and healthier you
I must say being your healthier and better self is very important in every way. Earlier in my twenties, I was very good at sticking to a dieting regimen and eating no later than or after 8PM. Well, as your body changes and you get older, you have to find new regimens that work for your current body. I have come to understand my body a whole lot more than when I was younger and before I had my two beautiful children. With that being said, things are a little different now. I think we as mothers are so caught up in taking care of our babies and husband, that it can really be easy to forget about self. But, I'm here to share with you 5 simple things that you can do to become a better and healthier you.
1) Get regular physicals and pap smears. I feel that in order for your body to run its natural course and be in its best shape ever, you must see your doctors regularly and at least once a year.
2) Review your health benefits regularly. Talk it over with your husband and make sure you have the best plan that works for you and your entire family. The one thing you don't want to do is enroll in a plan that is not covering everything that you need. Sit down as a family to discuss your health problems or concerns and see if there's a plan that covers your specific needs.
3) Exercise daily. This can include just walking around the block or within your neighborhood. For those of of who have kids, you can run up and down the stairs or go outside and play with them and that is a great workout for you and the kids. This will allow you to burn some of those unwanted calories. Also, its healthy for your whole family to play and exercise together.
4) Eat family dinners together at your dining table. This is one of the things that I try to make happen on a daily basis. Even though some evening we don't achieve it because of other obligations. But, this allow you and family members to sit amongst one another and fellowship. Ask each other about the kind of day they had or just eating a healthy meal together. I love having family meals with my husband and children. I guess for me, I always had that as a kid growing up and I wanted my children to experience the joy that had as a child.
5) Smile. This is one of my all time favorites. As a little child, my grandmother (the late Carrie Tyler) always told me to smile gal and the world will do just that smile right back at you. But, on the other hand, if you frown, the world will frown right back at you.

Tips on selling Diaper Cakes
Hello and welcome!
I wanted to stop by today and share with you a few tips on how to sell diaper cakes. I know you're probably wondering what in the world are diaper cakes. Well, as delicious as it might sound, these little darlings are not edible. These cakes are made out of diapers and other baby items that the new mommy will need. First, i want to start with how to make a diaper cake. Please don't purchase any membership or videos on how to make these diaper cakes because there are tons of free information on the internet. A few to check out are Youtube, Ehow, Instructables, and Google. All you have to do is type in how to make diaper cakes and a whole section of listing should come up. Once, you've mastered how to make the diaper cakes, then its time to decorate them. I would say when decorating your cakes, you want to always use high quality items. Items including Luvs Diapers, Carter receiving blankets, 100% cotton washcloth, and etc. Not that you have to use the luv brand diapers, but Luvs, baby swaddlers, and pampers are some of the top best diapers to use on a newborn. If there's one thing to remember is to always put yourself in the new mommy's shoes. I would NEVER use anything on my diaper cakes that i wouldn't use on my own two precious kids. By the way, I have a 4year old son, Ishmael, and a two year old daughter, Sarah. I adore and love them to pieces and I would not want nothing or anyone to harm them in any way.

Now, if you really love making them then why not do what you love and make a little money at the same time. When you first start to sell diaper cakes, you always want to keep in mind that a lot of people may not know what a diaper cake is. So thats a plus right there, and you need to start getting your name out there. Start with your family and friends; making them for the new bundle of joy that will be arriving. I guarantee that your diaper cake will be the next best thing at the baby shower---right there alongside the new mommy. Also, you might want to start selling your cakes on sites like Ebay, Etsy, and Bonanzle. This will help increase the traffic to your business and also help get your name out there. Now, please keep in mind, that there are a lot of competition out there, so any little creative thing you can do to set yourself apart from other diaper cake businesses. Another thing to remember is to always make your products very neat and to not over crowd the cake with so many items that it take away from the diaper cake itself. Less as possible is always a plus. When your business start to get a steady income, you want to be able to make your cakes fast and still have them look beautiful. You will miss out on a lot of business if you can't get your orders out on time. Below is a picture of one of my most popular cakes: Its the three tier Minnie Mouse Diaper Cake.
And last but not least, please, please, DON'T GIVE UP, if you really have a passion for doing this and it is truly something you enjoy doing, stick with it because it'll pay off in the end. I sincerely hope this helped you. If you have any questions, please send me a comment or email me at latersa@diapercakesbylatersa.com and i will surely get back to you. So Go Ahead and Be The Talk of Your Town.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sincerely,
