When I first sat down three years ago to write my first wedding song for my son’s wedding I had no idea that my career would take off like it did. 

My youngest son was married in June 2006.  I just started writing music and thought I could write our mother/ son wedding song for the two of us to dance to.  I sat down to write the lyrics and they  flowed flawlessly.  The emotion and love I felt for him brought the lyrics effortlessly.  I wanted to focus on his wedding day with his new bride and their future together.  When we danced to it on his wedding night I couldn’t hold my tears back, the lyrics said it all.  How I felt about him as a man and how much I loved him.  When our guests heard the song, there was not a dry eye in the house, young or old, male or female.  I was proud of that moment with my son and the man he had become.

About a year later I released a father/daughter wedding song titled, I’ll Always Be Your Daughter. The CD’s are selling very well for both songs.

In May 2009, I released my new song,  A First Dance Wedding Song (Two Little Words).  The response has been overwhelming.  I focused on what the bride wanted to say to her groom and what the groom wanted to say to his bride. The lyrics express what their  feelings  are for each other and how they found their perfect sole mates.

Here are the lyrics

A First Dance Wedding Song (Two Little Words)                           

BRIDE VERSE 1:        

You are the man, to keep me warm at night

Baby, hold me tight

You are the man, who loves me as I am

You’re my best friend

As my love for you grew     

There was no one else for me but you

 BRIDE CHORUS:

When I said those two little words, I meant them from my heart

As I looked in your eyes, I knew it was the start

Of a lifetime, with deep passion and truth, two little words from me to you

Two little words, for two people in love

I do  

 GROOM VERSE 2:

You are the woman, to share my life

It feels so right

You are the woman I care for & love

That I dream of

Now I understand

That loving you makes me a better man

 GROOM CHORUS:

When I said those two little words, I meant them from my heart

As I looked in your eyes, I knew it was the start

Of a bond blessed from above, two separate lives, united as one

Two little words for two people in love

I do  

 BRIDGE:

As we dance tonight/we celebrate – (sung by bride)

A true love that comes/once in a life – (sung by groom)  

Two little words we/promised today – (sung by bride)

Starts our journey as/husband & wife – (sung by both)

(Bride) Two little words for (Groom) two people in love

I do    

 Two little words, that say I love you,  I do

Congratulations to all the brides, grooms, their family and friends on  a very  special day.

Most moms stress about their babies all the time. Moms worry have even more apprehensions about correct baby care during travel. Parents know that infant car seats are the law in the US and the majority are grateful for it. Having additional safe seats and infant car seat covers for their babies is as critical as sticking to hurry boundaries and forms a urgent part of baby care. But what if these seats are not properly maintained? Jagged and coarse edges will develop and harm baby arms and feet in the drive. Covering up these seats with soft covers becomes important to keep your baby warm and snug during your travels.

Infant car seat covers and vehicle seats are intended for babies less than one years old and weighing not more than twenty pounds; infant toddler seat covers are for babies more than a year old. Babies of all age groups fit into these seats for children. Child seats are most fitted for babies only a few months old, as they support the body at all the right parts and guarantee a safe journey. But what about the covers that slip over and pad these auto seats? Fortunately, there is a huge market to accomodate this need.

If you have an infant, then you must consider infant car seat covers for your baby. Infant car seat covers come in many forms starting from items designed for style to items designed for serious weather conditions. There’s a cover for your child’s vehicle seat which will suit your requirements and tastes. In reality, many fogeys find that one cover just is not enough. You can also select among child auto seats that keep your child warm while offering wonderful designs as well.

Some infant car seat covers are created for stormy weather. A harsh weather car seat cover includes clear plastic that zips right over the entire seat unit. These things are highly functional because they can be used in association the other infant car seat covers. Defending your baby from elements like snow and rain or even dust is the main purpose of this product. There are lots of other seat covers for babies available so you can definitely find one for your categorical desires.

The best car seat cover for your baby is the one that fits the baby seat completely and can be installed and used easily and correctly during each ride. But it’s important to keep your baby in the rear seat of your car, especially if the front seats have air bags, to avoid suffocation in case of accidents. The vehicle seat covers intend to provide a soft ride for the baby, without discomfort from the hard edges of a baby seat. Nearly all infant car seat covers are washable and you should be certain to buy one that is easily installed, removed and washed, as needed.

Car Seat Reviews May Reveal the Best Infant Car Seat Covers

Online you will find many informative car seat reviews and popular brands of child covers for automobile seats. The best designs use fabrics that are light-weight and resistant to water and snow. Fleece seat covers with soft lining for auto seats are an added bonus. Apart from from being resistant to wind, water, and ultraviolet rays, they are machine cleanable and have a double-layer fleece exterior with shearling within. With their reinforced zips, they fit seats with three or five harnesses.

Having kids is an expensive endeveor! Just think about all of the new things that a baby brings to the equation:

Housing: Despite what my mother says, you can’t keep the baby in the bottom drawer of your dresser. So he/she is going to need their own room. If you already have the space, then you just have to factor in an increase in gas, electricity, water, home repairs, appliance repairs, home furnishings, etc. Kids can be hard on appliances and furnishings, so don’t expect your things to last as long as they used to. If your home isn’t big enough, then you may have to buy/rent a bigger one. So factor in the cost of increased rent and mortgage payments.

Food: If you breastfeed (which I highly recommend) then you will save a great deal of money on formula for the first year of babies life. Deciding to make your own baby food, will save you even more. But you will need to factor in the cost of nutritious meals for mom and the supplies needed to make your own baby food. If you go the formula/baby food route then you can expect to spend anywhere from $100-200 dollars a month on formula.

Transportation: Here again, if you have been driving a mini van all along, you are ahead of the game. If you drive a small car- you will want to look into getting something larger. Factor in extra gas for all those visits to the doctors office, and the grocery store (because you will go more often once the baby comes.)

Clothing: Now this is one category that some parents have a weakness for. Those tiny little pink and blue outfits can really put a strain on your budget- especially when you consider that your little one will probably go through 3-4 outfits a day for the first 12 months of their life.

Healthcare: Your insurance premiums will go up and many insurance companies will also raise your deductible when you go from a “couple” to a “family.” Little ones will need to go in for immunizations and well baby visits every month or two, and there is usually a co-pay involved there as well. The actual pregnancy and labor and delivery can also set you back a couple of thousand dollars depending on your insurance company.

Childcare: If you plan on sending your child to daycare or have a nanny in your home you can expect to easily spend at least $500-1000 dollars a month.

Miscellaneous: There are a ton of little things that you will need along the way, so it’s always a good idea to have a bit of cushion in your budget.
