Welcome to Relax! Productions and their DVD: How to Massage Your Pregnant Partner! When I was offered the chance to review this DVD, I jumped at it… every preggo knows there are so many aches and pains, especially late in pregnancy. Prenatal massages are pure heaven, but are very expensive! What could be better than having your partner learn how to massage you?!
This is the start of my New Mom event because this DVD may have very well helped me go into labor. On Christmas Day, Steve and I used this DVD (see my post: Going Into Labor) and we ended up at the hospital early the next morning! So who knows… they definitely say massage is one way to help induce labor naturally by getting the body to relax.
The DVD is 45 minutes long and is divided into 5 – 10 minute chapters so you can skip right to the troubled area if you want. We did the whole thing and it was wonderful! It’s a full body massage, including your belly and hips. My favorite was the “pelvic rock,” which actually seemed to help lessen the pain during contractions in early labor too!
- Relieve stress and relax tense muscles
- Ease sore spots
- Improve circulation and mobility
- Increase comfort and relaxation
- Bring you closer together as a couple and help you bond with your unborn baby
You can buy the DVD at Relax Productions right now for a special price of $24.95 AND use the coupon code RP09008 for another $5 off!! Code is valid until February 14th (awesome Valentine’s Day present!)
Or.. WIN a copy of the DVD here! Mandatory first entry: visit Relax Productions and tell me who you want this DVD for (even if it’s for yourself!)

Fun learning activities for children online
New Straits Times June 26, 2006 | Shyla Sangaran Shyla Sangaran New Straits Times 06-26-2006 Fun learning activities for children online Byline: Shyla Sangaran Edition: Main/Lifestyle Section: Outlook Column: Web watch
ARE you like many parents today who are still figuring out what activities you should plan for your children to occupy their time? Forget about sending them for tuition classes or educational workshops. Just venture onto the Internet and locate fun learning activities for kids with a click of the mouse.
Via Net-based activities, parents can have the comfort of having children occupied with fun educational activities without having to worry if they get bored at home. The best part is that parents can also participate in the activities to guide their kids and spend some quality time with them. here cool maths games
One Web site that has a lot of games and activities for kids of all abilities is at www.edbydesign.com. This Australian-based site is targeted at children aged five to 16. All activities are educational and promote learning in reading, writing, spelling, maths, problem-solving and art.
A range of challenging and meaningful software for children with disabilities such as autism, down syndrome and dyslexia is also available. For example, there are puzzles, maths games, print activities and over 40,000 stories.
In the spirit of helping children of all abilities to learn, the site provides an interesting mixture of activities, ideas and information. Kids can learn to draw in many ways. They can find a collection of visual tricks and surprises that will baffle and astound them.
One of the new features at the Web site is to learn maths the fun way. It gives kids an opportunity to participate in maths games that test their problem-solving ability. An interesting feature called Eye Boggler comes with illustrations that give ideas to help children with intellectual disabilities to reach their full potential.
There are also kids’ corner, free online kid games and a games forum that allow children to discuss the games or leave their scores.
There’s even a corner dedicated for Pokemon fans! The online database of Pokemon characters can also be found here.
For some offline fun and simple activities, worksheets, word searches and word find are available. What’s more, the site allows kids to publish their stories online. site cool maths games
The Web site claims that schools and parents around the world have used Edbydesign.com’s activities in their teaching to develop literacy and number skills in their children.
To conclude, kids will learn faster with fun-related educational activities and this Web site enables kids to work on their creative thinking. However, it’s not advisable for kids to hang on too long in front of the computer. They should, perhaps, take some time off to play outdoor or traditional games such as Batu Seremban, Galah Panjang or Teng Teng once in a while.

Ooh, I’d like this for me! An aching back? Leg cramps? Swollen feet? Sore neck and shoulders or abdominal muscles? Yep…got ‘em all!
My hubby also asks me to massage him all the time, and I have no idea how to do it. Hopefully this DVD would also give me some tips on how to give him a massage on his aching back!
