Little beans love falling asleep to songs. I know only a couple that my mom used to sing for me when I was little. So I went on a search on the internet and found a great website where they have all the lullaby you can imagine. If you are looking to expand your repertoire visit this site.

When I got pregnant with by bean, I immediately started searching for names. I avoided any names that were popular, because I didn’t want my bean to be one of many little Emmas that would attend her school.

My name was popular at the time of my birth and I always had two or three girls with the same name in my class and I hated it. I guess there are benefits of having a popular name – you don’t have to spell it to the person when ordering coffee at starbucks. However that wasn’t enough for me to name my bean from the popular name list.

Social Security Administration has posted popular names of 2008. Use those names if you wish or avoid it like the plague.

How did you name your baby? From your favorite movie, book, family member or just made up?

Your kids could talk about what they did this summer—or just press Play. At Apple Camp, kids ages 8-12 learn how to do cool stuff on a Mac: make a movie, show off photos like a pro, write and record a song, or create a multimedia presentation. You can sign up for as many three-hour workshops as you like. But space is limited, so do it soon. Then get ready for an adventure.
