Dressing Baby For The Winter
by: Kirsten Hawkins
Jackets and coats make a huge difference!
When most people think of baby clothes they conjure images of cute sailor suits and frilly pink dresses or perhaps little white ?Onesies,? soiled with spit-up Isomil formula. Rarely do they think of heavy winter coats and wind resistant jackets. In a cold climate, however (or on cold days in a warm climate), babies need the protection of a coat or jacket just as much as an adult does, in fact more so.
Fortunately the designers of the finest baby apparel are well aware of the need infants and toddlers have for warm winter wear and have designed several lines of simply adorable coats, jackets, and other winter wear just for the little ones in your family. Most of these are available in fine stores everywhere as well as through mail order and online retailers. The examples listed here were found on the designer baby clothing site known as Tutti Bella (?all beautiful? in Italian).
Jean Bourget
For the days when the weather is cool, not ?cold,? designer Jean Bourget offers a smart and attractive hooded Khaki Spring Coat. With a lightly striped inner lining, four silver snap fasteners, and a left breast pocket, your little man will be the coolest bambino on the campo da giuoco. Available in sizes from three to twenty-four months, this item retails for $62.95.
Zutano
To help keep older baby girls all warm and toasty, Zutano offers up a gorgeous reversible Pink Print Jacket. Made of 100% cotton, this is a coat for double occasions with a pink floral print on one side and seersucker stripes on the other. The jacket zips in front and includes a hood. This Zutano masterpiece comes in sizes from 24 months to five years and sells for $48.95.
Of course not everyone can afford to clothe their babies in designer styles at runway model prices. While $50-$60 is not a bad price for an older child?s winter coat, it is a bit steep for a baby?s piece that, purchased in September will probably no longer fit in March. For the rest of us there?s Wal-Mart, Target, Kmart, and, for the more adventurous, Old Navy. Baby coats can be purchased at these locations for prices that are a bit more down to Earth and the items will still keep the kiddies warm all winter long.
The point is that it is important to remember that babies get the chills and need to be kept warm just like the rest of us. When purchasing baby clothes, make sure that you allot space in both the budget and the closet for a good quality coat or jacket to protect your baby when the colder climes settle in and old Jack Frost starts blowing his icy vapor across your part of the world.

Shearling Coat Care
Shearling Coat Care
by: Daniel Sickafus
If your shearling coat or jacket gets wet, let them coat dry naturally. Don't place by a fire or other high heat source.
Heat can dry out the natural oils in the hides.
Do not wash your coat or jacket in a washing machine or put in a dryer. Most shearling coats are meant to be dry cleaned.
When looking for a dry cleaner, make sure that they know how to properly clean them.
The process must include putting the natural oils back into the hides.
Without doing this process, the hides will dry out and the coat will be ruined.
When hanging your coat or jacket use a sturdy, well shaped coat hangar. Don't use a wire hanger that's going to put "pokies" in the shoulders and don't hang it up on a knob for extended periods of time.
Avoid stain resistant treatments that are made of silicone.
We recommend Meltonian
brand Protect-All.

Protective Dog Clothing For Your Active Dog
by: Teresa James
You?ll want to use protective dog clothing to keep your active dog safe and warm when adventuring in the great outdoors. The right dog clothing will go a long way in protecting your dog from cuts, scratches and severe weather conditions.
Protective dog clothing like dog coats, vests, and dog booties are important for more than one reason. The main function of dog clothing, like our own clothing, is to keep your dog dry and warm when the weather turns stormy and cold.
But many people take advantage of the newer styles of dog clothing that incorporate safety features like reflective materials stitched into the outfits. They help to make your dog much more visible when the weather darkens the sky. This is an important safety consideration for the dog that is active outdoors.
And if you take your dog hunting or hiking through the woods, she?ll really appreciate the protective...

Designing a Fun Family Coat of Arms
Designing a Fun Family Coat of Arms
by: Chris Simeral
Armorial bearings, or coats of arms, take us back to the glamour of the middle ages. In days of old, knights displayed heraldic devices on their horses' caparisons, their servants' liveries, and on their banners and shields. As war medals are awarded today, so coats' of arms and other heraldic devices could be awarded to knights for their service in battle. But the primary role of coats' of arms was identification in battle ? the bright, vibrant colors and symbols identified the knight to his men, and his flying banner was a rallying point for them.
Heraldry refers to the study of coats of arms, and takes its name from the Heralds, who were the special ambassadors and messengers of feudal times. They were employed by all great lords, and by the king. Because Heralds traveled freely around the country, they were also the armorial officials. They granted armorial bearings. At tournaments, it...

Get more than just "a presence" on the Internet

The water purification salesman had been talking to us for what seemed like hours. During a lull in his monologue, I asked if he had a website.
"Yes. In fact, we are the only independent distributors of this product who does," he proudly beamed.
"So you get a lot of leads from the website, then?" I asked.
"No, actually I don't think we've gotten a single lead from it," he...
