Building Your Own Day Care Center
Education at such an early age is important for growing children. Children’s brain can be compared to a sponge because of its ability to absorb things that introduced to them and the things they are taught to. Child needs to learn and need to be trained to expand his knowledge about everything in his surroundings and in this world. Teaching a child of the simple things at first is the best way to a more complex learning that he can gain. At this early age, exposing children to different things is important.
Day care center are the perfect place for growing and learning children aside from their house. And if you are the kind of person who liked kids and love to teach them of everything they need to know, building your own day care center is the best way in reaching your desire to teach children. This is not an easy thing to do. Of all the things needed and should be done, you have to be careful, and wise in every decision you are going to make. Patient and optimism are an important attitude for this project. Choosing the appropriate daycare supplies may take some effort and you will need big amount of money. That’s why you should be ready in everything financially and emotionally.
Location and space for your day care center must be first on the list. It should be safe for children and away from the main road. But if the available location is near the main road, fence should be built. Essential day care supplies are next in line. These supplies include books, encyclopedia, art materials, building blocks, puzzles, and other learning materials. Toys are also important because children also need time to play while they are in day care center.
If you want to have your own day care center, you should be ready for all the responsibilities.

Puppies & Preparations!!
The puppies are almost here and I thought I’d share with y’all all about puppy proofing!
Puppy Proofing Your Home
Similar to when your baby turns into a toddler and begins to crawl and discover his/her territory, so does a puppy when it gets to a specific age. Baby proofing devices and cabinet door guards are a must for new puppies. There are also some things that you can do to puppy-proof your home and make it safe for your little bundle of canine joy to explore and play. Some simple things you can do in your home to make it safer for your puppy include:
1.Cleaners and noxious substances must be stored in a locking cupboard in either the kitchen or a bathroom.
2.Clean up any antifreeze or other garage spills straight away so the puppy won’t lick the area.
3.Pick up anything small enough for a puppy to swallow off the floor.
4.Avoid having things near that the puppy might chew on, such as newspapers, books, and magazines.
5.Hide all electric wires and cables.
6. Put away shoes, socks and other similar items that tempt your puppy to make a meal out of them.s
7.Storeyour trash or wastebaskets under the sink or within of a cupboard.
8.Vacuum your carpets often to pick up things that might interest your pet.
9.Stow away objects like pens, pencils and other arts/crafts and sewing supplies.
10.Leave your cigarettes somewhere that the dog can’t access. (I only say this because a bunch of the farm hands smoke here!)
The yard is additionally part of your home. If you would like your pup to be safe and sound, you will keep the yard kept, free of garbage, and free of gaps and holes in the fence. Do you use chemical lawn treatments? If you do, ensure that your puppy is limited to that section of the lawn while the chemicals are drying or being absorbed. Do you have a garden? If your pup plays in the garden, he could be subjected to the substances in pesticides, fertilizers and the like. You can either use non-toxic fertilizers or train your puppy to stay out of the garden. Do you have a swimming pool? Once more, chemicals need to be vigilantly stored away. It would also be a good plan to have a fence around your pool to keep your puppy away from it.
One more thought, believe it or not, is who you let interact with your pup. It is your responsibility to tell people, whether visitors or family, on what activities are safe for your puppy. It is principally vital with children, as kids can get overly rough. Additionally, family members need to that specific foods like chocolate and particular bones can be damaging to your dog and they shouldn’t feed those items to your pet even if he begs for them.
And of course, you ought to keep a first aid kit near and in addition the phone numbers of your veterinarian and the nearest emergency animal clinic just in case an accident, illness, or injury should occur. By following these simple suggestions, you and your pooch ought to be able to enjoy a great and safe relationship.

Been getting myself accustomed to the change of pace here. There is always something to help out with!! I love all of the animals here and feel completely at home…granted at night I do get a little lonely, so I moved one of the dog beds into my room to keep me company. The dog is a Australian Shepherd named Mindy. I’ve always known that Australian Shepherds were smart but this dog is crazy smart! Anyways, she is very sweet to me and I am growing attached.
I’m slowly learning how to do all the farm tasks. I’m super excited because we are supposed to have a new litter of PUPPIES soon and I cannot wait to see the whole birthing process and whatnot. So from the Centennial State, goodnight!
I’m Here!
Here I am in Colorado!! It is so gorgeous here. Never, 6 years ago I’d have never believed that I would fly across the world and set up shop in Durango (outside) to help out on a farm and travel. Whatever though, when else will I have the chance to do this? I know you all think I am a bit nutty for packing up and going, but I am not going to let that bother me.
So the land is intensely green and the farm is about what you would expect a really old farm to look like. Mainly sheep, chickens, goats, pigs, dogs (lots of them) and cats. My travel schedule isn’t finalized yet but I’ll be sure to keep you all posted on my adventures around the country!
