DSCF3052

As I am sure that you are probably very well aware of by now, my daughter absolutely loves babies. She goes through stages of which one is her favorite, but one thing is for sure, and that is that she always has a baby with her. When I was given the opportunity to to try out a Gotz doll, I couldn’t have been more thrilled.

About Gotz Dolls:

Gotz is a luxury German doll maker. They are now coming back to the United States, courtesy of HABA.

In 1950, Marianne Gotz handcrafted beautiful dolls while her husband, Franz Gotz, would sell them from a wagon he pulled with his bike. Six decades later, the second generation of Gotz family members is still running the show.

There are a few features that make Gotz dolls stand above all of the other dolls out there. First, their hair can be washed, styled (even with a curling iron or blow dryer on low setting!) and brushed just like their owner’s hair! The secret to the company is that the dolls’ hair is rooted in the scalp, so they won’t snarl or kink.

Tips for Teaching Your Teen How to Drive

It’s a rite of passage for all parents, the dreaded driving lessons. This could be otherwise titled, ‘Teach your
teen to drive without risk of physical injury to tutor or student’ or ‘Teach your teen to drive and maintain
your sanity.’

Does it have to be this way? Of course not, you and your teen both want the same end result – a passed
driving test (and an end to driving lessons once and for all!) and with a bit of deep breathing, patience and
a positive attitude it can be accomplished.

Strike a deal. Before you begin on this exciting journey to teen independence, take the time to sit together
and have a frank discussion about how many lessons you are prepared to give per week and how long each
will last. Frustration and arguments can start early in with your teen begging to be taken out as soon as you
walk through the door from a stressful day at work. Explain up front days or times of day that are not good
for you and listen to your teen to establish and manage their expectations.

Safety first. Your teenager needs to show that they understand road safety before you take them out. Get
a copy of the driver’s handbook and give it to your teen for them to study, they will need this knowledge to
pass their theory test anyway. Spend some time with your teen in your car ensuring they are familiar with
the basic functions, [Read more…]
