I can still vividly remember when Sabyn was 6 months old and I accidentally dropped the electric kettle on the floor, with boiling water all over my feet, and unfortunately, some splashed on Sabyn’s arm. I, being the paranoid mom that I am, panicked. It took me about 3 minutes to regain my composure, and I immediately brought Sabyn under the shower so that the running water would somehow soothe the burning sensation. I had to wait about half an hour before the nanny got back from the grocery, and we then rushed Sabyn to the emergency room of the nearby hospital. This was VERY traumatic for both Sabyn and me, and although she no longer remembers this incident, it has definitely left me a good lesson to learn.

So for this week’s Mommy Moment Meme, I want to share with you first aid tips for mild burns.

1. Never ever apply toothpaste on top of the burned area. This will only make things worse!

2. Do not immediately place ice or very cold water as this may cause the burned area to swell or fill with water.

3. If an infant or toddler is involved, make sure to bring him/her to the nearest hospital so that the doctors can make sure that everything is OK.

I am not a medical expert, so those tips I shared are just the ones that I have learned from experience.

Till the next Mommy Moments entry!

I got this from a friend and thought of sharing this with you girls:

This is VERY interesting……………………our young ladies need to recognize.

A young lady on twitter asked me whats the difference between being a wife and being a “wifey”. I started to laugh but I had to realize that many women today honestly dont know what seperates the two, let alone the true definition of being a wife anymore. Most sistas just wanna get married, but not many wanna be a wife. I see so many women bragging about how shes some guys “wifey” which in my opinion is a low standard for any woman. So I will compare and contrast the difference between wife and “wifey”.

A WIFE…
• never has to compete with other women because she is the only woman her man is seeing, “talking to”, and interested in. She knows this from his actions. Not just his words.
• The wife knows her mans family and friends. She usually has her mans parents or guardians blessings. Along with his friends. If her lifelong partner’s friends and family dont approve of her chances are she isnt going to be his wife.
• A man treats his wife with the utmost respect. Never cheats on her, or lies to her, or treat her like a jumpoff, a “main” or his “wifey”.
• The wife usually sees a side of her partner that no one else sees. She knows her man inside and out. His darkest thoughts, secrets, etc. There are no mysteries. No cloudy areas. Everything is in the open.
• The wife is the woman who a man chooses to spend the rest of his life with. She gets the marriage proposal, the ring, and everything that man has to offer her for a lifetime.

A “WIFEY”…
• Is the woman who a man spends all of his time with. Usually been with for a long time. Maybe even live with. But isnt married or engaged. Ever thought why? Keep reading…
• Men know whether he is going to marry a woman in the early stages of the relationship. It takes us men no time to see if a woman is going to be around for a while…or a lifetime.
• The “wifey” also has met SOME of his family, and SOME of his friends. Sometimes the “wifey” may receive the mans family and friends blessings, but its usually over ruled by him…in the end.
• The “wifey” is equivalent to the “main”. Meaning the one who he likes or cares about the most out of the women he deals with. The “wifey” is rarely the only one. Just in HER mind she is. But she dont know the TRUTH. Men are NEVER 100% faithful to a “wifey”.

Heres why…
• The “wifey” is the woman who he may spend years with. In his heart he knows he wont marry her though. He’ll keep her around until the woman who he feels in his heart he WILL marry comes into his vision, then its curtains for the “wifey”. A man is going to be faithful or dedicated to the “wifey” for so long before he starts roaming. He will eventually break up with the “wifey” and go be with the woman who he will make his WIFE. So ladies…please stop bragging about how your his “wifey”, all that means is your his TEMPORARY wife until the PERMANENT wife comes along. Then its back to the drawing board for you. Don’t be stupid. If you dont have a ring on your finger then your just his girlfriend. “Wifey” is a very low standard to claim.
