article: When you find other families with young children, schedule playdates. Invite the other parent and child to your house. Once you get to know each other, you might find yourself scheduling a weekly playdate. You might even be able to trade off childcare. Visit local landmarks, parks, factories, and other places to enrich your children's education. This can be especially helpful in breaking up the day when you have small children at home. Give your kids a chance to get messy and creative. Plan arts and crafts projects that align with their interests. For example, if your child loves playing with play dough, try making handmade ornaments out of salt dough. If your child loves drawing, practice making a story book. Build up a cache of materials to use in arts and crafts projects. This might include toilet paper tubes and paper towel tubes, egg cartons, ribbons, string, cellophane, pipe cleaners, and so on. Build library visits into your weekly schedule. This is a good opportunity to nurture a love for reading. Most libraries hold story times that are age-specific. These can be wonderful opportunities to meet other families. If there are too many toys available, young kids may get overwhelmed with the choices. It can be hard to focus on one activity when there are 10 other possible activities in immediate view. Select some toys to remove from use and store them out of sight. Every few weeks, bring these toys back into circulation, removing and storing other toys.

article: If you're going into a situation where you're likely to disagree, or where hot button topics may be brought up, prepare statements that won't spark controversy. At things like work events, for example, it's often best to keep opinions on sensitive issues to yourself. Try to think of some casual comments to make instead of discussing politics. For example, you're meeting with co-workers after a recent election. The election will certainly be a topic of discussion, but try to think of more neutral things to discuss. Bring up, say, a ballot that passed without much resistance instead of a heated race for senator. Remember also that it is best to avoid talking about politics or other sensitive subjects with co-workers. You can also try directing the conversation elsewhere. You can talk about traffic on Election Day and then try to steer the conversation to a general discussion about the morning commute. In certain places, you may want to avoid politics altogether. If you're going to a family dinner where you know you disagree with others, for example, try not to bring up heated political issues. Talk about what's going on with family members instead and leave politics out of the discussion. However, while you can try to avoid a topic like politics, remember it's okay to plainly say that you don't want to discuss it. You can do so in a tactful way, and then change the subject if things get heated. For example, say something like, "I don't wish to talk about this topic at this time." Religion is another sensitive issue. At professional settings, or even family events, it's often best not to bring it up. Try to steer the conversation away from topics regarding religion, especially current events. These issues are deeply personal and people may have trouble not taking opinions as a personal slight. However, close friends and family members may disagree with you. You also may disagree with your spouse on topics like religion. You should discuss major issues with those you are close to, but remember you may not always agree. It may be important for close friends and family members to know your opinion, especially if the issue may come up. If you're an atheist, for example, it's important to let people know so they don't invite you to church or push their religion on you. You can, however, agree to disagree at times. Keep in mind that this will not be a good idea in all situations. For example, it is a good idea for your significant other to know these things about you, but a cousin or grandparent probably does not need this much information. Try to avoid the topic with anyone who you do not think will be tolerant of your views. For example, if your aunt invites you to mass on Christmas, you can say something like, "Thank you for the invitation to go to mass Aunt Lilly, but I will have to respectfully decline." There is no need for you to explain your reason and doing so may lead to conflict. Keep it simple and respectful.

article:
Even though sandpaper sounds too rough to use on suede, it actually is a great material if you have a gentle hand. Purchase either fine sandpaper (number 000) or use a nail file that you may have at your house. Use soft back-and-forth motions to sand at the gum. Try to avoid directly sanding the surface of the suede. Brush aside any gum that may come off. Keep in mind that the sanding method will likely affect the suede. A tiny bit of the material may come off as you're sanding. This method is best left after you have tried other methods. It also may be the best method for items like shoes, which are below eye level. If your suede item is something that people will be looking at up close, keep in mind that the material will be affected. Sanding suede with a brush or emery board can affect the nap, or texture of the suede. After sanding, take a toothbrush, nail brush or suede brush and gently brush the nap of the suede, going in one direction. Brushing the suede can also brush away the gum removed during sanding.
