Holiday Gift Guide

We had fun putting this one together! Some of babycheeks favorites are here... and we could have added so many more but thought it best to keep it short and sweet.

All products are now in store. Pop in and let us help you with your decision making... we are the experts!

Salt Dough Recipe

I spent hours with my little children and neice creating wonderful things out of this simple recipe. It was one of those perfect peaceful moments that will forever be etched in my holiday memories! So I thought I would this with all you...

If you missed it in our newsletter, here is the classic recipe again:

This shiny Christmas dough ornament craft is the perfect finishing touch to decorating the tree. It can also be altered and made into lapel pins, magnets and gift-toppers.

What you'll need:
½ cup salt
1 cup flour
½ cup water
Rolling pin
Cookie sheet
Toothpick
Miniature cookie cutters: star and Christmas tree
Acrylic paints: various colors of your choice for tree ornaments
ribbon

How to make it:
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
Mix together, salt, flour, and water until dough is formed.
Knead the dough on a floured surface until the mixture is elastic and smooth. If dough is too sticky, sprinkle with flour, continue to do so until stickiness is gone. Do not add too much flour, this will dry out the dough and will cause it to crack before you get a chance to bake it.
Roll out the dough to about ¼" thick with a rolling pin that has been dusted with flour.
Use cookie cutters to cut out as many trees and stars as you want.
Use a toothpick to make a hole toward the top of the shape. Poke the toothpick into the shape, then holding toothpick straight up and down, make a circular motion as if you were stirring something. Keep circling until the hole is the size you want.
Place all shapes onto an ungreased cookie sheet and place into the preheated oven.
Bake for 2 hours.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
Paint anyway you want!
When dry, thread ribbon through hole and tie in a knot in the back.

Communicating with your Toddler Workshop


Communicating with Your Toddler Workshop
with Special Guest Paul Zimeras, Gateway Therapy
Join us Wednesday November 25th

In the upcoming workshop we'll be discussing the do's and dont's of communication, or more technically: how language shapes your childs behavior. At first glance most people assume that the language they're using is conveying the message loud and clear. Would you be surprised to find out that most likely, it isn't?
Here's an example: Have you ever found yourself repeatedly telling your child NOT to do something, and they do it anyway? Or reminding them not to forget something and they do? (Ps... this one applies to husbands too!)
Well, in many cases the problem isn't faulty memory or disobedience - it's a matter of how you expressed yourself.
By applying the simple techniques you'll be gaining in this workshop, coupled with some awareness, you'll find yourself communicating your needs and life's lessons with your toddler, and family, much easier and create a calmer and healthier environment for everyone.
Topics we'll cover:
- The do's and don'ts of communication
- Why repeatedly telling your child not to do something actually encourages them to do it anyway
- Brain 101: Why do we think like this

Baby Reflexology Workshop - Oct 28

Reflexology for Babies Workshop
with Special Guest
Paul Zimeras
Gateway Therapy
Join us Wednesday October 28th

Reflexology is a special kind of hand & foot massage.

Paul, a Reflexologist, discovered its uses over 18 years ago studying Martial Arts. Usually after a class many participants would be tired, sore, & sometimes injured. After which their instructors would instruct them to rub their own feet down in various ways. Pain relief for aches and sprains was almost instantaneous in most cases where-as more serious ailments healed faster & with less complications.

As time went on Paul began utilizing Reflexology when he had a cold or cough, a headache, cleansings, even helping his father regain some control over Diabetes.

One thing you should know about Reflexology is that it's safe to use on everybody; including babies and toddlers. In fact, when your child gets a cold, begins teething, has colic, or basic bumps & bruises every child manages to find, Reflexology done properly will stimulate your Childs body's natural defenses to recover faster, with less discomfort, and in many cases without having to use strong medications.
In this next workshop you will learn a basic overview of the foot & how to use Reflexology to help your baby or toddler recover quicker, and naturally. Help relieve them from the discomforts of:
Colic
Constipation
Difficulty Sleeping
Teething
Persistent Runny Nose
Skin Problems

Find out more about Paul and his services at www.gatewaytherapy.ca
Wednesday October 28th - 6:30 - 8:30pm
Come and participate with or without your baby. Space is limited. Please reserve your spot today by emailing us at babycheeks@shaw.ca. Be sure to bring a blanket if you are BYOB. Homemade cookies provided!

Lucy Lime Studios


So babycheeks is updating our website to a new e-store (yay!) and we needed new photos to complete our look. So we partnered up with Shannon from Lucy Lime Studios and headed out to Derby Reach Park early yesterday morning. And I have to say... what Shannon was able to deliver to us was nothing less than amazing! Here are just a few of the many fantastically artistic photos of my kids Lily and Ethan and my niece Rachel. And trust me, the children were not behaving like the little angels they look like in these photos! Shannon was so patient and awesome to work with, she really put us all at ease and made it all very simple.
So a big thanks goes out to Shannon and Lucy Lime Studios for doing such wonderful work!
