Pumpkin Muffins
The best part about these muffins is that they can be made and kept in the refrigerator for future use. It hardly takes a minute or two to prep them up, when something is needed to satisfy those hunger pangs quickly. This is a great recipe for your teen to take on, since it's quick and easy - just make sure you set some ground rules about clearing up once done! From the nutrition point of view, these muffins are high in vitamin A, while pumpkin adds fiber.
Serves
Preparation Time
Cooking Time
6 People
5-10 Minutes
25-30 Minutes
Ingredients
200 g white flour
75 g whole wheat flour
200 g sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cloves
1 tsp salt
50 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
50 g dried blueberries
50 g walnuts or pecans, chopped
250 g pumpkin, mashed
125 ml unsweetened applesauce
3 eggs
Method
Step 1
Keep the oven for preheating to 350 degrees. Grease a 12 - cup muffin tin with a little cooking spray, or a bit of butter.
Step 2
Ask your teenager to take a large bowl and combine the first eight dry ingredients, and mix them well with a fork.
Step 3
Take a second bowl and combine pumpkin, applesauce and eggs. Mix them well with a fork.
Step 4
Mix the wet and the dry ingredients, and add the chocolate chips, dried fruit and nuts to the mixture.
Step 5
Let your teen combine all the ingredients thoroughly and spoon the batter into muffin tins.
Step 6
Let this bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in a muffin comes out clean.
Step 7
When the muffins are done, remove them from the tins and let them cool on a rack or a plate. Once cool, wrap the muffins singly or in pairs in plastic wrap, then toss the wrapped muffins into a couple of freezer bags and put the bags in the freezer.
Step 8
When you plan to eat the muffins, either take them out the night before and let them thaw on a plate, or, if you don’t plan that far ahead, take them out of the freezer, remove the plastic wrap, and heat them in the microwave for a minute or two.

Ideas For Daddy to Bond With Baby
It is a fact well acknowledged - Moms have a special bond with their baby as they carry them for 9 months in their womb. But Dads are nevertheless an integral part of mom’s pregnancy and baby’s life as well. Thus, it is equally important for dads to build a strong bond with their babies right from the time of birth.
Here Are a Few Ways Through Which Dads Can Bond with Their Babies
1. Babies Love When They Are Soothed
Babies are constantly in need of seeking love and attention, especially when they are crying. Whenever your baby is with you, you can stroke his forehead and head. Kiss your baby on the forehead with love. One important thing here- when your baby is in your arms and starts crying, try and soothe your baby by rocking him slowly and cuddling him rather than handing over the baby to mom. This will build a special comfort feeling in your baby for you.
2. Bathe Your Baby, Especially During Weekends
Having fun with your baby while bathing him is an excellent way to build bond between father and child. You need to be careful as your baby is still fragile, however learning bathing techniques for kids is not so difficult and for sure it is worth the effort.
3. Spend Quality Time
While you are in the process of building that strong bond with your baby, one of the key essentials is to spend quality time with your baby. Spending time every day with your baby talking, playing and being a part of the feeding process will surely help you with a strong and everlasting bond with your baby. ||
4. Singing and Reading to Your Baby
Singing songs, lullabies and reading stories to your baby before bedtime is a sure shot way to building a strong bond with your baby. Your baby will get attached to your voice, to your smile, to the way you sing and eventually with your presence every night. Psst, if you are tired of the same old songs and lullabies, check out these cool new ones your little one is sure to love!
5. Baby Walk Time
Agreed that some dads work till late during weekdays and talking your baby for a walk everyday can be challenging. All said and done spending time outdoors with your baby is essential. So plan for some outdoor time like walking with your baby in a garden during weekends. This helps babies associate pleasant memories with you and in turn build a strong bond with you.
6. Hold Your Baby Close
Physical closeness is essential in building a bond with your baby. Each time you take your baby in your arms, hold your baby close to your body. Let him feel your skin, let him feel your presence. In case you are bottle feeding your baby, then hold your baby close to your chest and feed. This process creates a very positive psychological impact on your baby and helps create a strong bond.
These are just a few ideas you should try when looking to build a strong bond with their baby. Obviously, you can be more creative and do fun things to build that everlasting relationship with your child. Good luck! Read more

Go girl!!
You can do it!!
You are the best!!
There are many of us who go through a phase where u feel your downfall kind of thing post pregnancy, it is simply called PPD ( post partam depression). And seriously no one can escape from it, not even doctors (though I am one). It’s simple support from
family, husband and friends that helps the newmommies feel better and come out of it.
I am writing for the members of the family, husband and friends of Thenew moms. To be frank without a doubtevery new mom is worth million things and arepraise worthyor appreciative each and every day, itmay be it is
a single word of "love" from husband :),or in fact friends and family constantly boosting confidence by saying " you have done a great job, this is fantastic, u have a great kid and is exactly like you ( though resemblances doesn’t not matter"
:).These are very few things orchanges every family can make for the new moms and we can notice a lot of positive vibes in the family as the vibes run from the moms to the newmoms.I hope I made a small point there ;)
Now coming to moms, hey newmommies,no matter what hurdles we face or we have gone through or are going through, those could matter only today, the rest of it matters is your child’s happiness and common we are gonna do anything for it..so
cheer up, put your happy face( helps for milking too) and go on and be a fighter. I know you can do this but I am just being your mind writing these this so that u remember what you think :). And to a matter of fact everyone had this phase and
all of us will becoming out with shining colourful stars. :):):):) so never forget it cheer up yourself,make some self appreciation that is very important , be active lively and empowering, take careal of you:):):):).
