The Summer Infant Day & Night Color Flat Screen Video Monitoring System comes with a 7-inch, flat-screen LCD baby monitor that parents can watch for $199.99. An extra audio monitor unit with belt clip and added portability can also be purchased with the set for $219.99. Their high-quality, versatile video monitors can be mounted under a cabinet, placed on a nightstand or on a countertop. The baby monitor camera also comes with night vision, so parents can watch what’s going on, even in the dark. With the wall mount option, parents can choose which angle they prefer.

The Summer Infant monitor “Day & Night Video Monitor with 5-Inch Screen” is their least-expensive model. The picture only comes through in black and white, but the camera has LED lights to enable you to see in the dark room. You can adjust the camera in any direction you need and mount it on the wall if you’d like. The 900 MHz technology ensures that you get clear sound quality that doesn’t interfere with nearby electronics. Extra cameras are also available, as are handheld sound monitors, making this a versatile system.

One thing consumers have noticed about the less expensive Summer Infant monitor products compared to the high-end products is that there is more interference with the low-end models. In a number of baby monitor reviews, parents mention the “loud, annoying static” coming through their $142 Handheld Color Video Monitor or their $119 black-and-white Day & Night Video Monitor. There seems to be more positive reviews for the $298 Summer Infant Complete Care Color Video Monitor Set, which comes with a 7-inch flat screen monitor, a portable handheld audio/video unit and baby camera with wall mounts.

The Summer Infant Monitor Series

One area of concern for parents is the children. Relocation with children doubles the stresses and worries. Most adults find relocation traumatic or at least unsettling, so imagine how a child feels. Fear, sadness and anxiety are all symptoms of relocation for children too.

It is critical for parents to make the relocation process as pain free as possible for children. By being part of the relocation a child feels more involved and informed and thus reduces their levels of tension and fear.

Talk the children through the relocation process. Involve the children in the relocation process. Let your children help where they can by looking at brochures for apartments or houses, potential schools, picking removal companies, packing and arranging a good bye party for friends and family. If your children are attached to certain things such as a pet, toy, book, clothes or blanket should be taken along on the relocation trip. This adds some familiarity to the new home. Make an effort to teach your children as much as you can about their new home in imaginative ways. Show them pictures, books, movies, magazines and brochures. The more they learn about the new home the less they fear the relocation. Finally, convey excitement about the move. It is critical that parents always express a sense of excitement, wonder and adventure when discussing the relocation. Children pick up on emotional undertones easily. Any negativity expressed about the move in any way will quickly be picked up by children that might be a little hesitant about the relocation.

These are but a few tips that if followed will help your child come to terms with and positively become involved with the relocation process.

Relocation with Kids – Easier Than You Might Think

Your list of obligations may seem like it goes on forever, but there’s certainly nothing in the rulebook that says single working mums can’t have time for themselves. In all likelihood, you may have two full-time jobs, a day job dedicated to your career and the other to ’round the clock’ Family Ltd., but even in these incredibly difficult circumstances, “me time” is crucial, not just for your own sake, but for your children’s as well. After all, happy mum equals happy kids!

If you want to find “me time” as a single mum, first of all you must look at your time management. This certainly isn’t to say that you have to “punch-in” and “punch-out” of every single task and project, but it’s essential that you’re able to prioritise without second guessing yourself. If this isn’t one of your natural abilities, try this exercise: Start a diary of everything you do for around 3 to 5 days in 15 minute increments. Not easy, but very worthwhile! Once you’ve done this you’ll get a clear picture of where the time “goes” and where you are making the most of your time and where you might be “losing” time. If you have an interest in refining your time management skills and balancing out your daily life, it’s fairly easy to find helpful online life coaching professionals who can help you put everything into perspective.

Professional coaching will help you to understand the many facets of time management, and why it’s become one of the most valuable assets in business. Whilst blue-chip companies have always employed advisers and consultants, coaching for women has become increasingly commonplace, especially for single working mums who seek to balance family, career and personal life.

To enable you to find “me time,” it will help if you become more efficient at some of the tasks that you perform, day in, day out. Take a look at each area. Sometimes it will not be possible to streamline and become more efficient, but you need to tackle this with a “can do” attitude. Challenge yourself to experiment with new ways of doing things. If you have to work within a tightly constrained budget, this may not allow you to be as efficient as you otherwise could, but nevertheless, analyse everything. For example, are you being as efficient as you could be when it comes to cleaning? Do you absolutely need to repeat a certain process daily or would you be better served by allocating more time for a really thorough cleanup on one day and much less time on some of the others? If you’re a manic cleaner, try going on a cleaning diet for a few days and see if the World really does fall apart without the bathroom being cleaned daily!

While no one is advocating that you cut corners or that you don’t eat a healthy diet, see if you can make alterations to cut down on the amount of time that you spend preparing or cooking. Introduce fresh vegetables or fruits more often, scoring in terms of diet and less preparation. Take the “cook once eat twice” challenge, looking for recipes that you can double up on and either eat on two days running or freeze. How much time could you save if you cooked only 4 times per week instead of 7 and what could you do with that “cook free” time that you’ve saved?

Remember that certain things are not optional. You must get an adequate amount of sleep and you can’t “buy into” this time, and building exercise into your week is like paying into a health savings account – you’ll see “compound” benefits very quickly in your resilience, your health and your self-confidence . Simply by concentrating on exercise routine you can often get more energy, promoting greater efficiency during your working day.
