Hamsters

I saw these cute hamsters at a pet store a few days ago. Sorry for sharing a blurry pic, I captured it through the thick glass window and I didn’t use my pocket camera. They are really cute. I’ve never had hamsters as pets; how about you? Is it fun to take care of them?

At Quinceanera day, her family will accept a young Latina to achieve her womanhood and this special moment will be watched by her community.

Simple Ways to Make the Journey Abroad More Enjoyable

Going on holiday is enjoyable, but there are elements of it which can be rather boring. Often you will have to get up ridiculously early, drive for a few hours, wait around at an airport and then take a flight, when all you really want to do is arrive at your Bali hotel. All of this does not, however, have to be a stressful hardship. There are ways in which you can make the journey to your destination far more relaxing and exciting than it has been in the past:

Integrate an Interstate Trip
It is possible to integrate an exciting element into the travelling aspect of the journey. For my most recent holiday, I decided to fly from Melbourne instead of Sydney. This seems like a bizarre choice, given that Sydney airport is just a few hours from my home. The trip to Melbourne in a rented car (to avoid having to drive back) was, however, well planned and had vast levels of excitement tied into it. Taking my children on a Great Ocean Road tour was an excellent opportunity to show them more of Australia, educate them in the history of the Great War, and make the trip abroad more exciting. Whilst this trip was indeed a long one, it was utterly worth it and arriving at the airport felt more like we were returning from a holiday than leaving for one.

Use the Time EfficientlyA waiting period of several hours at an airport can be a mind-numbing experience and it can make everyone lethargic and grumpy. For this reason, it is important to keep everyone occupied and entertained during this time. The time can effectively be used to plan days on the holiday and this can be a very fun, and even educational, event. Before heading to the airport, plan a budget of time and money which your children can allocate for activities (obviously this would only be a small part of your overall budget). At the airport you can then allow your children to plan exciting events for the holiday in a manner which will also teach them the importance of budgeting. This educational game will get everyone excited about the holiday ahead.

Another good way to use the time is to all practice phrases in the language of wherever you are visiting. This will provide your children with some necessary communication skills and help you to prepare them for the exciting foreign environment.

Prepare Some Treats
A holiday may be enough of a treat but for everyone to arrive at your destination happy is priceless. Buying a new game for the journey will enable you to keep everyone occupied and entertained. Plane games are excellent tools for keeping the family happy and drawing everyone into the idea of having fun together for the next few weeks.

Prepare for the WorstBeing prepared for the worst is the best way to make sure that it doesn’t matter if it happens. Split your clothing between bags so that if a bag gets lost, you still have at least some of what you need. Make sure that the spare tire is inflated so that a flat doesn’t leave you stranded. Prepare for travel sickness with medication and aids. In other words, take precautions against the worst so that something going wrong doesn’t spoil your trip.

Organising and Surviving an 18th Birthday Party

It’s the occasion that elicits a collective shudder from parents all over the country: the dreaded 18th birthday party. Though our better judgment as parents is ringing in our ears, we inevitably cave to the persistent begging of our soon-to-be adult offspring and host the party anyway. Alas, the gift of choice from your child’s 18-year-old friends is rarely a coffee maker or a Westinghouse fridge, but, more often than not, it’s booze. And lots of it.

To avoid your home becoming a reenactment of the green bile scene in the exorcist, with teens running around out of control, there are a few tips and tricks you can use for controlling the party without seeming like a killjoy. Here goes…and good luck!

Serve Food. Lots of It.
Besides the fact that teenagers eat a lot, you’re going to want to have enough nosh on offer to line your guest’s stomachs before the inevitable consumption of a lot of alcohol. Choose starchy options like potato wedges and mini-pies, and keep it on hand for easy picking.

Put an Alcohol Limit On
Make a compromise that there will only be beer and wine available. If you’re providing the alcohol, buy light beer so that people don’t get too out of control. Also, make sure there are plenty of non-alcoholic options there for kids who might want them. If you control the alcohol you can try to avoid the messier outcomes of hard liquor and keep things civil for a bit longer.

Warn the Neighbours
It’s a good idea to let the neighbours know that you’ll be having a party. The decibel level of teenage girls in particular never ceases to amaze, and it’s better they know it’s a one-off. If you’re friendly with the neighbours, invite them over to share a drink with you—the more adults present, the better!

Have a Time Limit
These days, a lot of kids want to head off to the clubs to kick on, and in actual fact, this is a total blessing for you. Set a time limit for the party (11:00pm is a good time, seeing as it’ll give you time to get everyone out before the noise complaints start) and spring for a few taxis to take everyone out to the pub/club.

Ask For Help
An 18th birthday is something you’re going to want to ask for help with. Not only is it an emotional time for many parents, seeing their children take that official step into adulthood, but it is also a lot of hard work trying to contain a bunch of hormone-driven, alcohol fuelled teens! If for no other reason than for some adult company, ask some friends or family around to help you celebrate.

Another form of help you could take advantage of is a party hires company. Not only will they have experience hosting 18th birthday parties and be able to give you advice and reassurance, but they’ll also be there the next day to help clean up!

18th birthday parties are rarely a lot of fun for the parents involved, but at the end of the night, knowing that you’ve made your new adult happy makes it all worth it. (Well, that, and knowing they’re never going to turn 18 again!).
