WAHM Mondays: Gift of Sleep Consulting

Encouraging healthy sleep habits: Although a bedding set is super cute, it can also be super dangerous. I encourage all of my clients of infants to remove all items from their child’s crib that are non essential for safe and healthy sleep. This includes, crib quits, blankets, bumpers that are not breathable and see through as well as pillows and stuffed animals. Although a “Lovey” can be introduced around 7 months of age. All your baby needs in their crib for safe sleep is a mattress, sheet, secure swaddle (up until 3 months) or a sleep sack. That’s it!

Blogger Design Tricks

I blog at Momma Without a Clue, and with three small kids it isn’t practical for me to spend money on designs for the blog. Because of this, I have taught myself various tips and shortcuts to make my site look exactly how I want to, without knowing how to read code. This led me to starting my own Blogger Design business, Clueless Momma Designs. Here are a few things that you can do on your Blogger blog as well to help achieve whatever looks you want!
How to Center your Header
Now this is one that is especially important for those of you who have made your own headers and want the to be centered at the top of your blog. There’s nothing worse than making the perfect header, only for it to be stuck over on the right side (which is the default in Blogger.) It seems to throw your whole design off. For a more professional look, follow these simple steps to center your header.
Step 1: Go into your dashboard and go to Template. Click Customize, then Advanced, and Add CSS.
Step 2: Add this code into your Add CSS box and press enter:
#header-inner img {margin: 0 auto !important;} #header-inner {text-align:center !important;}

Remember to press enter after adding the coding, or the changes wont be made. Click “Apply to Blog” and Ta-Da!
How to Remove Empty Space Above Header
After you get your header perfect, there’s this blank space above it. Some people like it, especially if your background blends with your header. But if you’re using an image that just doesn’t look right with the small band of background, or if you have your header in your sidebar, here is how to fix it.
Step 1: Again, go into your dashboard and go to Template. This time, click “Edit HTML”
Step 2: Press Ctrl+F to search for the </head> tag.
Step 3: Paste this code right above your </head> tag:
<style type=’text/css’>
.content-inner
{
margin-top: -40px !important;
}
</style>
Preview your template before saving.
How to Add a Signature to your Blog Posts
So now you’ve designed the perfect signature and you have been manually adding it into the bottom of each post. There is an easier way! To get your signature into the bottom of each post, follow these directions:
Step 1: Go into your dashboard > Template > Advanced > Add CSS
Step 2: Locate the URL of your image
Step 3: Paste this code into your Add CSS box, replacing the “IMAGE URL” with your own image url
.entry-content:after {
content: url(“IMAGE URL”);
margin-left: 300px;
}

Goosie Organics Natural Teething/Nursing Jewelry
I have a beautiful Tiffany necklace, a gift from my husband, that I wear every day. When Declan was around a year old, I had to have my favorite necklace repaired because D’s constant tugging and pulling had bent one of the rings holding the clasp. My broken necklace could easily have been avoided had I been wearing a nursing necklace. I now have a solution/necklace-saver: Goosie Organics natural teething/nursing jewelry.
Founded out of her desire for plastic and chemical-free teething solutions for her daughter, Lacey began designing and making her own all-natural teething jewelry. Goosie Organics was founded for Lacey to share natural products with like-minded mamas: natural products for the “baby-minded mama”.
I anxiously awaited the arrival of my Goosie Organics necklace, having seen how beautiful Lacey’s creations were, and was not disappointed when it finally arrived; a necklace from the Sage Collection:
Each Goosie Organic piece is handcrafted using locally-sourced all-natural and organic materials. I love how Lacey explains the process on her Etsy site:
All of our products are handmade with natural materials including our unique 100% organic yarn. It is handspun and nature dyed using organic elements such as logwood, madder and wood chips. It is then crocheted into a necklace chain as well as onto a natural wood bead. Each wood button, coconut ring and wood bead is handcrafted locally and polished with organic beeswax and olive oil.
What I love even more? What you see is what you get. No hidden chemicals or dyes, and no need to worry when your little one, inevitably, puts this in his/her mouth.
Declan loves playing with my Goosie Organics necklace while he’s nursing, which [thankfully] takes the strain from my favorite Tiffany necklace! One of D’s favorite things to do is to roll the small wooden balls between his fingers, as the polish renders them incredibly smooth. With 6 teeth coming in, my Goosie Organics necklace has already found it’s way into my 16 month-old’s mouth a handful of times!
If you’re looking to have a Goosie Organic creation of your own, you can visit the Etsy store HERE. Want to find out what’s new at Goosie Organics? Visit them on Facebook HERE.
