Editor's Letter

Go Green It’s April, and our thoughts turn to all things green. Nature is waking up from its winter nap (so are my allergies!), and we celebrate both Earth Day and Arbor Day in April. Funny story: MANY years ago when I was a child, a local park was giving away free tree saplings for Earth Day. My dad asked my mom to go and pick him up a few. Poor Mom got us ready and into the car (I think at the time there were three or four of us kids) and drove to the park for the free trees. When we arrived, the line was super long and they were about to run out of the free trees. Mom packed us back into the car, we went home and when we got there, she had us collect sticks. We put them in baggies with soil and gave my dad his “free trees.” We had to come clean before he actually planted them!

I'm Pregnant! What do I do now?!? By REGAN LYONS

Family Life ‐ April 2018

Advice You took the test. It’s positive! Now what? If you’re anything like most mothers, a million things run through your mind when you find out you’re pregnant. We put together a simple list of the first steps after the big news. Choose Your Obstetrician When choosing your OB/GYN, consider what is most important to you first. Perhaps you would prefer a doctor at a certain hospital, a doctor who has a low rate of cesarean deliveries or a doctor with good bedside manner. Be sure to speak with your partner about what qualities you prefer in a doctor. Once you know what qualities you’re looking for in your OB/GYN, do your research. Read reviews online and ask your friends and family for recommendations. While researching doctors, research the hospitals as well. Is the hospital close to where you live? Does it offer a NICU in case of complications? Will they accept your insurance? When you have narrowed down your search, set up a time to meet with a few doctors. Bring a list of questions to ask, so you don’t forget anything. If you have a chronic illness, you will want to find an obstetrician who has experience dealing with possible complications that could arise. Pay attention to the doctor’s demeanor while meeting with you. That will be a great indicator of whether this doctor’s personality will work with yours. Also, take note of the nursing and office staff. You will be spending the next nine months with this staff at your appointments, so make sure they are accommodating and friendly. The most important factor is that you feel compatible with your obstetrician. You want to feel comfortable asking questions and trust that your doctor will make the right calls regarding your pregnancy and delivery. When in doubt, listen to your gut to make the final choice. If for some reason you don’t like the obstetrician you initially choose, you always can change to a new doctor.

Begin Taking Prenatal Vitamins According to the American Pregnancy Association, “During pregnancy, a woman’s daily intake requirements for certain nutrients, such as folic acid (folate), calcium and iron will increase. Vitamins and minerals such as iron, calcium and folic acid are vital for proper fetal growth, development and healthy adult living.” Prenatal vitamins help both you and your baby get the nutrients needed for a healthy pregnancy. Many doctors recommend taking a prenatal vitamin as soon as you begin trying to conceive. Speak with your health care provider to find the right prenatal vitamin for you. Decide When to Share the News Have a conversation with your partner about when and with whom to share the pregnancy news. Many women keep the news a secret until they’ve reached their second trimester, when the risk of miscarriage is lower. Others prefer to spill the beans immediately. Abby Baker, a mother of two from Columbia, MO, chose to tell her friends and family immediately. “We didn’t keep it to ourselves, but only told close friends and family so we had their support,” she says. “We made that decision because we would want them to also know if something didn’t go right.” Evaluate Your Lifestyle Are you a smoker? Now is the time to quit. Do you enjoy a cocktail or two regularly? Now that you’re pregnant, trade out the cocktails for “mocktails.” What about your diet? Are you eating healthy to ensure your baby receives all the nutrients he needs? Do you need to cut back on all that coffee or soda you drink? “The first thing I did when I found out I was pregnant was think about my diet and how I needed to eat to help the little baby in my belly,” says Lonna McCourt, mother of two from Oregon, MO. Now is the time to reevaluate your lifestyle to see what might need to be changed while you’re pregnant. For example, you should avoid undercooked meat like sushi or deli meat, which can harbor harmful bacteria. You also will want to check with your doctor to make sure all of your current medications are safe to continue while pregnant. Your health care provider also will be able to provide you with a list of things to avoid and add to your everyday lifestyle while expecting.

Go out and splurge on that adorable outfit for the baby or pick up a cute new maternity top. Take some time to yourself to feel the joy that pregnancy can bring to you and your family! Important Questions to Ask Before Choosing an Obstetrician If you aren’t there to deliver my baby, who will be in your place? What is your c-section rate? What percentage of your patients are high risk? How do you suggest coping with pain during labor? At what point in pregnancy would you suggest inducing labor? What is your after-hours contact policy? Will you agree to respect my wishes throughout the process?

Choosing Baby's Name By GINA KLEIN

Family Life ‐ April 2018

Advice As a child, you probably dreamed about what your own children would be like someday, how many you’d have and, perhaps, even their genders. You even may have thought up some great names for them. But that was then, and this is, well, now. Now you’re all grown up, pregnant and struggling to find the perfect name for your little one. Just remember, though, there are about as many ways to pick a name as there are names themselves. Here are just a few examples to get you started: A favorite book or movie character. Many parents out there choose names based on a favorite character in a movie or book they’ve read. Grandparents’ or parents’ names. Perhaps you’d like to pass down the names of important people in your life. A geographical location. Some babies are named after special places on the map or simply unique geographical names, such as Dakota, Dallas and Sydney. Last names as first names. Johnson, Jackson, Coleman, Bentley, Piper…the possibilities are endless. A name from an advertisement or sign. A lot of babies have been named after their parents saw the name they loved on an advertisement or a sign on a vehicle or building. Vintage names. Maybe you’d like to name your baby Pearl, Eleanor or Gertrude. More and more parents are bringing back names from the past. Calling out nature. If you’re a nature lover, perhaps you’d like to name your baby something like River, Skye or Starr.

Whatever you choose to name your baby, here are some great things to consider before your baby’s name is final: How does the full name you’re considering roll off your tongue? Is it a tongue twister? Could the combination turn your child’s name into a joke? (e.g., Terri Anna could become Terry Anna Banana). Think about how you spell the name you choose for your baby. Although choosing a unique spelling can be fun, consider whether that choice will turn into a lifetime of correcting people who will spell it notoriously incorrectly. Also, will people be able to pronounce it? What nicknames might be created from the name over time? Will you be happy with the long and short versions of your baby’s name? (e.g., Nicholas/Nick/Nicky, Katherine/Kate/Katie, Matthew/Matt/Matty, Elizabeth/Liz/Beth) Pay attention to initials and be sure they don’t spell out disaster for your child (Asher Samuel Smith or Beth Opal Olson). However you choose to name your new little one, make it special in the way you feel is appropriate for your family. The name game can be a nerve-wracking process, but it also can be a lot of fun! Need a little extra help finding that perfect baby name? Look no further than your cell phone! Numerous babynaming apps are available. But beware—they can become addictive.

Advice

By MELISSA BELLACH

Family Life ‐ April 2018

Advice The first year of Baby’s life is one of the most exciting—and stressful—times for a parent. They have so many adjustments to make, worries to quell and learning to do. As Baby grows, parents watch for milestones and try to establish schedules. When Baby’s personality begins to emerge, parents learn how to change and adapt their style of doing things to fit that particular baby. “Throughout the first year, I felt like as soon as we would get used to one stage, the next stage would happen,” Nicole Harrison, Shawnee mom, says. “It seemed like the only constant was that everything was always changing!”

Months 7 to 9. By 8 months, Baby is still enjoying 24 to 32 ounces of formula or breast milk every day. But this is the time period when you can begin to introduce additional foods, including baby cereal, fruits and vegetables and mashed or pureed meats. Baby is very curious now! He or she is exploring the house and many are crawling, maybe even pulling up on furniture. “Once our baby was mobile, it was a whole new world. We babyproofed the whole house! But it was fun that he was getting old enough to show us the toys he liked and laugh and participate when we played with him,” says Mandy Isom, Kansas City, MO, mom.

As parents navigate the rough waters of the newborn and infant stages, having an idea of what is coming next can be helpful. What will Baby learn next? When will Baby be mobile? When will Baby begin to sleep fewer hours during the day? And when, oh when, will Baby sleep through the night? We are here to help with a guide for what to expect during your baby’s first 12 months.

Months 10 to 12. At 11 months old, your baby can make out faces from about 20 feet away. According to TheBump.com, the average weight for an 11-month-old baby is 19.2 pounds for girls and 20.8 pounds for boys. The average height is 28.7 inches for girls and 29.3 inches for boys. An 11-month-old baby sleeps, on average, for about 13 to 14 hours total per day. About 10 to 11 of those hours are at night, which means more rest at night for Mom and Dad! Baby may be preparing to walk, and some babies are already walking by 12 months.

Months 1 to 3. When Baby first comes home, he or she may seem to sleep all the time. From 2 weeks to 2 months of age, newborns sleep an average of 15.5 to 17 hours in a 24-hour period. Baby’s neck muscles are still weak in months 1 and 2, but by month 3, Baby can hold his head up on his own. Make sure you are talking to your baby! He is already able to identify the differences between sounds and will begin to babble at you, and maybe try to imitate sounds you make by month 3. Months 4 to 6. At 4 months of age, many babies begin to experience a change in their sleep patterns. “The 4-month sleep regression is rough! My daughter went from sleeping six hours at night to waking up every hour from 3:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.,” says Molly Kingston, Olathe mom. By 4 months, babies are sleeping four to five hours during the day. At 6 months, babies need an average of 11 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night and three-and-a-half hours of daytime naps spread over two to three naps. This is the time period when many parents begin to establish a set schedule for naps or bedtime. Be sure to engage Baby as much as possible when she is awake! Baby is starting to play, likes peek-a-boo and may laugh when you tickle her. Talking, reading and singing all help with Baby’s future speech development.

While Baby’s first year is an exciting time, many parents worry about their tot’s hitting the appropriate milestones. These guidelines are only averages, and every baby is different. If you are concerned about your baby’s growth or development, talk to your pediatrician. Baby’s Milestones Although all babies grow and develop at different rates, parents can look for some general physical milestones in the first 12 months. Month 1: Baby can lift his or her head during tummy time. Month 3: Baby is starting to babble, can open and close his hands and can hold up his head on his own. Months 4 to 7: Baby can roll over, sit up on her own and pull toys toward her to play. Months 8 to 12: Baby can use a pincer grasp, is crawling and is preparing to walk

Nine kitchen storage secrets What's the ultimate kitchen? We think we've found it – with fresh, show-stopping design and every detail thought out Photos by Michael Graydon; Kitchen design by Lori Wilder Family Life ‐ April 2018

1. Use your island to display dinnerware Forgo the bar stools and use the space to show off a beautiful collection in a way that is stylish and practical.

2. Designate a pantry area A full-length pantry and closed cabinets provide a streamlined look while hiding your not-so-pretty stuff like canned goods and cleaning supplies. Pullout shelves and drawers put everything you need right at your fingertips.

Family Life ‐ April 2018

3. Consider a countertop range Don’t be confined by a conventional range. Instead, mix and match wall-mounted ovens with an industrial cooktop. Pots and pans in pullout drawers are out of sight, but quickly at hand.

4. Keep clutter at bay with inset shelving Replace traditional cabinets or a hutch with shallow open shelves. Use the area to display meaningful collectibles or favourite pieces. Tip: To pull off designer style, group pieces together by colour.

April 2018 - Family Life

5. Carve out cabinets in unexpected place Turn narrow columns of bare wall or the awkward area under a staircase into useful storage by creating custom cabinets to fit inside. If you’re not handy, work with a contractor to design the perfect height and depth. And remember, if there’s only room for really shallow cabinets, that’s okay. Use them for special-occasion stemware that breaks easily. Get this look: Design and mill work, Sauer & Steiner Toolworks.

6. Install cupboard and drawer dividers These smart organizing tools help you maximize storage space by keeping tableware and glassware neatly stacked and sorted. Tip: Dividers come in many shapes and sizes, so make sure you write down all interior measurements of the space (even height) before going to the store. Get this look: Rationell variera p ate holders, $13 and $15, Ikea.

7. Label everything Instead of cramming the pantry with all kinds of random dry goods, place spices, rice, pasta and baking supplies in labelled glass jars. Whether you prefer to keep jars on display or store them away, charming stick-on labels make it easy to stay organized. And you’ll never end up with five jars of the same thing!

8. “Build” a faux pantry Who says a pantry has to be built-in? To create your own portable version, get two or more matching shelving units and place them close together in an unused space in your kitchen, mud room, basement or garage. Use your new “pantry” to store the overflow of everyday items. Tip: Wire units are a great choice because they’re sturdy and keep all your goods in view. The industrial patina is a striking contrast in traditional kitchens or works seamlessly in a modern space. Get this look: Coop tower, $199 each, CB2.

9. Create stations Make your kitchen more efficient by grouping things like garbage, compost and recycling in one zone. The best place to put them is in one large, deep drawer close to the sink or prep area. Try creating a bar, work zone or play space as well.

Six ways to modernize your home with colour With old-world antiques and new-age lines, see how this home for four beautifully blends modern and classic By Virginie Martocq and Julia Black Photos by Roberto Caruso

Family style Call it quiet maximalism. Or simple traditional. Either way, it’s hard to pinpoint the style of this Toronto home without speaking in contradictions. Before the young family of four moved in, the house was builder’s beige and devoid of personality. But with fearless layers of pattern, art, antiques and colour, it’s become elegant and modern. There’s now a fresh, unexpected feel throughout the house, where formal style coexists with family life. Trend alert: Gold touches are showing up in every room. It's the new black!

Turn leftover wallpaper into an elegant table runner It’s easy and fun to switch up your dining setting — and it’s a great way to make use of extra decorating scraps. Get this look: Coffee table, Elte. Art by Steven Nederveen, Bau-xi gallery. Wall paint, november rain, Benjamin Moore.

Use matching fabric on mismatched chairs Different shapes can be unified with the same fabric upholstery and finishing stain on their legs. It’s a great solution for fleamarket finds or hand-me-downs. In open-concept designs, repeating a decorative element, such as colour, will harmonize the home. A punchy coral tone is pulled from the formal living room into the family room as a common thread that weaves the first floor of the house together.

April 2018 - Family Life

Paint, upholster and accessorize with your favourite shades Don’t feel restricted by trendy colours. Just pick the ones you like, and go for it. Repeating your beloved colour, pattern or texture will make a dramatic statement. Trend alert: Resin-finished art is popping up in stylish homes everywhere.

Soften dark bedroom furniture with graphic patterned linens Choose easy colours and patterns in light shades to make dark furniture appear less dominant. The more layers, the more inspiring it becomes. Get this look: Bench, De Boers. Bed frame, Pottery barn. Artwork, Elte. Bedding, Au Lit Fine Linens.

What it feels like to survive a devastating typhoon Elaine Springgay, a 30-year-old volunteer from Richmond, B.C., would have died when Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines had a split-second decision not saved her life. By LORA GRADY

Family Life ‐ April 2018

On Wednesday, November 6, 2013, I was at a conference in Tacloban City in the Philippines. (I volunteer with Cuso International, an agency that works on reducing poverty worldwide.) Suddenly, the coordinator stepped up to the mike. The conference was over, he said. A huge storm was approaching, and we all needed to get to safety. At first, my friends who’d organized the event were miffed that all their hard work was going down the drain. After all, the storm might not materialize — the Philippines receives tropical storm warnings all the time, and people have become used to it. Besides, it was a beautifully sunny day with clear skies. I texted my boyfriend, who is in the Peace Corps and was stationed on a nearby island, and he told me I should stay put. I headed back to the dorm I was staying in and looked up the latest weather alerts. A storm was definitely on its way, and what worried me most was that the city was right in its path. I stayed up all night, glued to weather alerts from the U.S. Navy. By Thursday morning, they were predicting that the winds would be category 5, or 280 km/h — enough speed to pick up and move a bulldozer. And it looked as though Tacloban City would be hit hardest.

I stayed up all night, glued to weather alerts from the U.S. Navy. By Thursday morning, they were predicting that the winds would be category 5, or 280 km/h — enough speed to pick up and move a bulldozer. And it looked as though Tacloban City would be hit hardest. Right then I made up my mind: I needed to leave and head home to Paranas, a town two hours from Tacloban. I pleaded with my roommate to get out too and am now so grateful she listened. (She has since told me that I saved her life that day.) It was already raining by the time I got in my van. The drive was one of the most stressful of my life. When I got home, I dashed around the house, taping up windows. At 3 a.m., I woke with a start — my electric fan had stopped working. The power was out: Typhoon Haiyan had officially arrived. By 8 a.m. I could hear my neighbours’ doors slamming in the wind. I peered out my bedroom window — my closest neighbour’s roof was flapping wildly. Not long after that, I saw him up on his roof, trying to hammer it back into place without being blown off.

April 2018 - Family Life

I thought about hiding in the basement, but I was terrified of flooding. At first I stayed in bed, but I realized that if the window shattered and debris flew in, I’d be in grave danger. So I grabbed a second mattress, placing one on the floor with the second leaning over me against the bed frame, like the forts I made when I was a kid. I texted my mom to say I loved her; then I lost cell reception. The deafening noise of the wind and the crashing and banging seemed to go on forever, but around 11 a.m. it was suddenly still. I stepped outside to see trees uprooted and chaos everywhere. I spent the next day and a half in a bubble. With no reception or electricity, we had no way of communicating with anyone outside of the community. We shared what food we had; I broke up a package of doughnuts and distributed them among my neighbours. Finally, stories of the damage in Tacloban City came trickling in: Houses had washed away, neighbourhoods were completely destroyed, thousands were dead. One co-worker told me he drove into the city on his motorbike and started counting the bodies by the side of the road. He stopped at 56. There were reports of looting — people were stealing washers and dryers from store display windows. I made a list of about 20 friends and coworkers I needed to reach. On Sunday, I hopped into a passing Jeep, hoping to find an area with reception. Cellphone in hand, when I finally saw my reception bars appear, I shouted at the driver to stop. I sat on the side of the road, texting with friends and family to let them know I was alive and to see if my list of 20 were okay. I hadn’t realized how concerned my relatives were when they didn’t hear from me. My older brother was a wreck, glued to CNN 24-7, and my boyfriend had contacted the army to try to have me evacuated when he thought I was still in Tacloban. When I texted my mom that day, her immediate response was “Thank God.”

The weeks after the typhoon were traumatic. I learned the dorm we’d been in had completely flooded — anyone who’d stayed behind didn’t survive. Friends in the Peace Corps are now beginning to show signs of PTSD from what they went through in the city. When I finally got out and reached Manila, I suffered from severe insomnia — I could sleep for no more than three hours at a time. Even now, I still wake up a few times a night. My biggest regret is not convincing more people to leave the city that Thursday. Typhoon Haiyan was one of the deadliest storms to ever make landfall, and the aftermath is almost impossible to comprehend. Buildings were completely flattened by the 300-km winds, trees were smashed like matchsticks, and the bloated bodies of goats, dogs and people were washing up on the shore. Three months later, almost half the city has no power and bodies are still being pulled from the ruins. I’m now safely back in Canada, where we recently endured a deep freeze, and many parts of the country suffered power outages. But the use of the word catastrophic by media and government officials to describe the situation here frustrates me. Lacking food, clean running water and shelter while the stench of dead bodies is thick in the air is catastrophic. It’s so easy to move on and forget a disaster once it’s left the headlines, but the repercussions and suffering will be felt for years to come by the people of the Philippines.

Tissue Paper Flowers Have you ever made tissue paper flowers? They are such an easy, inexpensive craft and can be used in so many different ways.

1.Stack several layers of tissue paper neatly in front of you. 2.Starting at the short end, accordion fold 1 inch sections of the tissue paper until the whole length of the tissue paper is folded together. 3.Secure the center using a stapler. Be sure the staple goes through all layers of the tissue paper. 4.Use scissors to shape both ends of the tissue paper. Scroll down a bit to see a chart of different ways you can cut the ends and how the flower will look. 5.Fan out the folds and begin separating each layer. Fluff and shape the flower until it looks pretty.
