When my son was born I had no clue how to shop for baby clothes, course this was 11 years ago and I’ve since learned a lot. For instance I had no clue that clothes were suppose to be baggy and they didn’t have to be tight. Yep, that was me the one that waited until the shirts were stretching. Okay, not really but you see my drift. Being a mom can be a hard thing, especially when you are new at it.
I did learn that at least for the first few years of life you could normally go by their age. That is if they were the average baby size and not really large. If my son was 8 months it was safe to buy him baby clothes that was for 6-9 months and probably not so much 12 months old. His legs were always short as well which made it a bit harder as he got bigger, see his tummy grew but legs stayed short. I stuck with his age when I bought outfits, except for pants I really had to hold them up against him to see if they were too long. Remember when it comes time to buy baby clothes it can be tricky, figure out what works with you.
Roses are red, violets are blue. Red gets a rose’s glory and, like the violet, blue shrinks into the background - literally. Red objects appear closer than others and blue objects appear farther away. Artists use this little trick to bring depth to their paintings.
The contrast between red and blue give the illusion of depth perception.
Being red’s antagonist, blue symbolizes relaxation, peace and tranquillity. Blue gives the illusion of credibility and professionalism, and so, became the most popular colour to be worn in court.
Blue can represent authority, business, security, stability and trust. It can also leave an stodgy, conservative and judicial feeling.
Blue helps us to communicate on an emotional level and get in touch with our feelings. Blue brings truth, loyalty, harmony and patience to the home.
Blue is a wonderful colour for a bedroom. It encourages rest and relaxation and makes time go by more quickly. Be careful to incorporate other colours as well though - an overdose of blue can lead to sadness and depression.
It also acts as an appetite suppressant - so you are better pre-pared to battle those midnight cravings. Too bad I painted my bedroom sunshine yellow! Maybe it’s time for a makeover…
