"Please tell me how to give a birthday party for my daughter ... she's turning
13 and I want to make it special for her."
Carrie, everything I know about birthdays and birthday parties is on my birthday
site: Birthdays by Rexanne -
I spent many hours putting as much information as I could on the site and it is
updated regularly. You'll find plenty of tips, tricks, party ideas and birthday
information on this site.
Readers, as much as I'd love to help each and every one of you plan a perfect
party for your child, it's just not possible. I built the birthday site to offer
all the insight I have on birthdays plus new information as I find or learn it.
All you have to do is look for what you need. It's probably already there. :-)

"What the h*ell are you trying to sell on your site? It's so confusing!"
LOL - Sam, I'm not "selling" anything unless you're looking to buy family or
holiday, celebration-oriented merchandise.
I hope my site isn't really as confusing as Sam suggests. Anyone else find
Rexanne.com confusing? Please let me know. I try to keep it as simple as
possible.

OK, here's the scoop:

Quote of the Month: "A mother is the truest friend we
have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place
of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when
trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind
precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to
return to our hearts."- Washington Irving

Parenting & Family Topic of the Month: Routines and
Schedules for Children
by Rexanne Mancini
Children need and crave routine. Routine helps establish security and peace in a
child’s life. A bedtime routine will establish good sleeping patterns. A
dinnertime routine establishes the importance of family interaction, homework
schedules will help your child get their homework done on time and with little
fuss.
Routines are an ideal way to keep your family and children calm, secure and at
ease with life’s variables.
Children will thrive with schedules that are easy to understand and accomplish,
yet flexible enough to change if circumstances warrant. We do not want to rule
our families with an iron fist, adhering to “the schedule” without compromise;
however, good routines will keep your family organized and will establish an
environment of tranquility for all family members.
Babies especially thrive on routine. They will become secure and happy with
strict adherence to their daily feeding and sleeping schedules, which are,
ultimately, their most important routines.
Little children need routines and schedules in order to learn how to manage
their time and attention. When they know what we expect of them, they learn to
comply with the rules without question. This allows children to feel more
confident by understanding their roles in the family.
