Sometimes the words just flow and I find it hard to stop.  It is 9:30 at night and I am the only person awake in my house.  The room is dark aside from the glow from the display on my laptop and I’ve just published another article on Suite 101.  This time, I focused on Online Kids Boutique Stores.

The three stores that I included in the article, PoshTots, The Little Seed and Sandbox Couture, all offer designer clothing and unique baby items.  PoshTots, one of my favorite sites, sells the most extravagant items.  A personal favorite is the $47,000 Fantasy Coach Bed.  No I don’t own the bed and no I will never be rich enough to justify a bed that costs more than some luxury automobiles.  However, it is always fun to look and dream. 

My latest feature article at Suite 101, Transitions for Autistic Teens, is the start of a new series of articles I will be writing that focuses on issues surrounding adults with autism. Much of the publicity centered around autism these days is on children. However, these children with autism grow up to become adults with autism. As the diagnostic rates increase, the adult autistic population will naturally grow. Providing support and services for teenagers with autism as they transition to young adulthood is important.

In addition to my feature article, I also stepped back in to the Partners and Parents section of Suite 101 and wrote an article on The Top Internet Toy Stores and Kids Natural Personal Care Items.  The online toy stores I spotlighted are FAO Schwarz, Fat Brain Toys, Rosie Hippos and Toys R Us.  For the personal care items article, I chose to discuss the benefits of using products by California Baby, Burt’s Bees and Dr. Bronner’s.

My latest article at Suite101 is entitled Mother’s Day Around the World. I am continuing my International holiday article series, this time taking a look at how several countries celebrate Mother’s Day. In the United Kingdom, Mothering Sunday is celebrated on the fourth Sunday in Lent. This year, Mothering Sunday has come and gone as Lent and subsequently Easter were quite early.

The other countries I looked at in the article were Spain, which celebrates Mother’s Day on December 8, France and Australia. Australians celebrate Mother’s Day on the same day that the Americans do but the French celebrate it on the last Sunday in May.

I enjoy writing these international holiday articles as they help give me ideas on how to spice up my own holiday celebrations. Now I’m off to find a recipe for Simnel Cake to make for my mom this year!
