Use toddler gates at the top and bottom of stairs. Do not use gates with big spaces between the slats--children can get trapped in the openings.

When building or buying your crib, choose a one with bars no more than 2 3/8 inches apart. If the space between the bars is too wide, your baby could slip through and strangle between the bars.
Use a ruler to check the width of the space between the bars. Weave a cloth between the bars if they are too far apart.
Keep the crib away from electric cords, drapes and curtain cords, or tie up the cords so they are less than 6 inches long and out of your child's reach.

Step 4: Attach the Moulding to the Wall
Since the corner pieces have already been secured, all you have to do is attach the long middle pieces. Attach the moulding between the corner blocks, adding nails every twelve inches or so. After all the pieces are securely attached, you can use wood putty or paint to disguise the nails. This may not be an issue if you have used a dark wood for the moulding.

Step 3: Measure the Length of the Walls and Cut the Moulding
Next, you'll want to measure each section of the wall to see how much moulding you will need. With your corner blocks in place, measure from one block to the next. Be as exact as possible in your measurement because you want the piece to fit perfectly in the middle. Cut the moulding pieces according to the measurements you recorded.

Step 2: Cut the Corner Pieces
Once you've chosen your material, you'll want to start with the corners. They are the hardest because of the angles. All the other pieces will lay flat against the wall, but the corners will have to be cut in a special way in order to fit. You will need a coping saw to do this. You can use caulking, but nails would be more secure.

Step 1: Choose Your Type of Moulding
Before you can do anything, you'll have to
decide if you want to use wood, fiberboard or polyurethane. There are pros and cons to each type, depending on what you are looking for. Wood is classic, but more expensive. Fiberboard is cheaper, but poorer in quality. Polyurethane is even more expensive,
but the most durable.

#2: If we will clean our house everyday then that would really consume our energy and time. The laundry, ironing the clothes and cleaning up other parts of the house which are hard to maintain well should be done on schedule. Have a time-table on when you plan to do these chores so that you won't feel like you have to do many things at one time. General house cleaning should be implemented at least once a month to make sure that each part of the house is free from dirt and unwanted elements.

#1: Cleaning is done because of the things that
we clutter,so if we don't make our
surroundings messy then no cleaning task
should be done in the first place. Make it a
habit to be organized so that you will only do
fewer chores at the end of the day. Imagine
not needing to re-arrange all your personal
belongings, sweeping the floor before you go to sleep,wouldn't that makes you wake up with a good mood the next morning? Keep your things neat and clean all the time.

Cleaning is never been an easy task. Most of us
would think that cleaning the house is very
simple that we don't pay attention to it. What
we don't realize is that our house is the common area where we share with our family
and loved-ones and so we have to take care of
it like how we take care of ourselves.
These 3 important tips will help achieve a properly clean house

#2. Lighting fixtures need to match the area of the house. Audio visual rooms do not need an extremely bright light only reading rooms need them.

#1. Choose a paint color that we like and best
suit the personality of the family. Choosing the
right color can make the home a lovely place to
live in because we often feel comfortable
whenever we are at home.

Indeed, it is this "gardening imagination" that provides people with the opportunity to select meaningful objects that speak to their senses, to their experiences, and to their lives.

Gardens and their ornaments are symbols of enchantment, of mystery, of meaning, and of ultimate being.
