How to Agree with Your Partner When Planning Your Wedding Two becoming one. Sounds romantic.

Desirable.

In reality, two different lives, two different styles, two different opinions have every opportunity to butt heads, especially when it comes to wedding planning.

The process of planning your big day does not have to become burdensome or put stress on your relationship. You and your Love can use the experience to draw even closer by foreseeing common challenges of event planning and implementing a strategy to avoid average pitfalls.

detail solidified. Or perhaps your favorite colors are clashing in a cacophony of random ideas. Either way, get alone and write out your ideal wedding, down to the last detail. Know your own heart.

Both you and your partner should write down your ideas separate from each other. Give each other freedom to dream.

Once your desires are expressed, come together. Talk about your perfect wedding ideas. And listen.

1. First things first Above all else, your wedding celebrates the first day of your marriage. Your life together.

After saying “yes”, your first instinct might be to dive into the fray of bridal magazines and spout off all your childhood fantasies. But before you do … stop. Breathe. Remember what is most important— your love for one another.

Encourage and compliment each other during the process. Maybe even write a list of things you love about your Love.

Set it next to a picture of the two of you. No matter how stressful the task of planning might become, bask in the joy of having someone to share your life with.

Never lose track of the blessing of having someone to love.

2. Down to business Wedding planning is just that— planning.

It’s a job.

On top of your 9 to 5, and grocery shopping, and paying bills, wedding planning is a full-time job. Many couples hire a wedding coordinator because throwing an elaborate event is not easy. Approach this huge undertaking with the right mindset and avoid being overwhelmed with the actuality of it.

3. Write it down Perhaps you’ve planned your wedding since you were a child and have every TO ADVERTISE CALL 925-634-0880

is only twelve weeks away, making your own bridesmaids dresses sounds less doable. Second, while you both have your calendars out, coordinate. What tasks are urgent? Who needs to do what? By when? Write it down. Set alarms and notifications. Check in with each other, Make sure you are on the same page.

Literally.

6. Delegate

Don’t be horrified that your Love wants to leap out of an airplane or have her bridesmaids parade in on horses. Use this opportunity to get to know each other better.

Listen. Laugh. Learn.

Talk logistics later. Dream together. Hear each other’s hearts. No moms. No best friends. This is about the two of you.

From your two separate lists, write another combined list. Prioritize the most important parts of your dreams, speak honestly, listen, and remember, first things first.

4. Talk money beforehand This can be intimidating, but, set a budget before the hullabaloo of planning.

Guard against hurt feelings and hashing it out at the checkout of the florist.

Put it in perspective. Getting single roses instead of the floral-extravaganzanumber-five doesn’t mean you hate her mother, it just means you are saving for a cute house with marble countertops.

Remembering why you set your budget will help keep you grounded when the baker shows you how many tiers he can stack on the cake.

5. Plan it out Take out your calendars. Count the days ‘till you say ‘I do’. This helps in two ways.

First, it is a reality check. March might seem far off, but when you realize that it

There are a few of people, close friends, and family, that are more than likely to want to help.

Weddings traditionally are for the people, by the people. You can not pull off a major, multi-thousand dollar event alone.

Utilize the people who are willing to help.

Hire where you need to. Decide what you want to do and what you want others to do. Then, communicate kindly, clearly, and in as much in advance as possible.

7. Schedule breaks Don’t fool yourself. Wedding planning puts a strain on your relationships. Guard yourselves against it. Plan down times.

Schedule dates intermittently, with no wedding talk allowed. The wedding is just an event, just a day.

How you learn to handle stress as a couple will affect the rest of your lives.

So, dream. Plan ahead. But expect surprises. Make time for laughter. And never lose sight of the joy of sharing life with the one you love.

Written by Emma Johnson.

As Community Manager at Sandsational Sparkle, Emma Johnson writes to shrink the momentous undertaking of planning a wedding down into manageable units.

She seeks to inspire stress-free planning for her readers, amping anticipation, and easing concerns as they navigate through their big day and on into marriage.

FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH

There has been a growing interest over the past 20 years in the possible connections between the dental health in general and periodontal diseases in particular on the overall health of the body. Most of us are now well aware of new research studies that implicate periodontal diseases as a possible risk for cardiovascular diseases, poor blood glucose control, adverse pregnancy outcomes, lung diseases, gastrointestinal diseases to name just a few examples. It is important to remember the relationship of oral health to overall human health is not a one way street. On the other hand overall human health, systemic conditions and medications may also have a huge influence on the incidence, severity, and the progress of gum and periodontal diseases.

the teeth experience an “early warning system” for changes which happen in the general health condition of the body. The mouth is exposed to a great variety and number of bacteria, fungi and viruses than any other part of the body and this requires a completely well functioning host protective system.

Any problems with one or more of the immune system can lead to inflammatory destructive changes in the oral cavity and an overgrowth of the bacteria, fungi, or viruses in the mouth. For example, diseases which impair the body’s protective system, like leukemia and lymphomas have an increased amount of bone loss around the teeth.

Similar changes are seen in patients with Down’s syndrome. Furthermore there is an extensive range of mucocutaneous diseases like lichen planus, pemphigus and lupus which show extensive early changes in the gum tissue. Certain cancers can metastasize in the gum tissue or even originate in the gum tissue. HIV associated infections like necrotizing gingivitis or Candida infections are usually early indicators of the body’s declining immune status.

It is interesting to note that the oral cavity and the gum tissues that support

Certain medications like Dilantin for seizures, Cyclosporine to prevent

Sudoku

These are just a few of the many examples of how important it is to visit the dentist regularly to detect any changes in the mouth, teeth, and the gums as it could be the first indication of an underlying systemic condition or disease which could be diagnosed by the dentist at a earlier stage and it could help to get early and appropriate treatment.

WHAT IS DYSLEXIA? Dyslexia is a learning disorder that affects your ability to read, spell, write, and speak. Kids who have it are often smart and hardworking, but they have trouble connecting the letters they see to the sounds those letters make.

About one in five kids of have some symptoms of dyslexia, such as slow reading, trouble spelling, or mixing up words. Adults can have this learning disorder, as well. Some people are diagnosed early in life. Others don’t realize they have dyslexia until they get older.

Kids with dyslexia often have normal vision and are just as smart as their peers.

But they struggle more in school because it takes them longer to read. Trouble processing words can also make it hard to spell, write, and speak clearly.

What Causes Dyslexia?

It’s linked to genes, which is why the condition often runs in families.

You’re more likely to have dyslexia if your parents, siblings, or other family members have it.

Warning Signs of Dyslexia If a child has 3 or more of the following warning signs, encourage that child’s parents and teachers to learn more about dyslexia.

In Preschool • delayed speech • mixing up the sounds and syllables in long words • chronic ear infections • stuttering • constant confusion of left versus right • late establishing a dominant hand • difficulty learning to tie shoes • trouble memorizing their address, phone number, or the alphabet • can’t create words that rhyme • a close relative with dyslexia In Elementary School • dysgraphia (slow, non-automatic handwriting that is difficult to read) • letter or number reversals continuing past the end of first grade • extreme difficulty learning cursive • slow, choppy, inaccurate reading: -

guesses based on shape or context - skips or misreads prepositions (at, to, of) - ignores suffixes - can’t sound out unknown words • terrible spelling • often can’t remember sight words (they, were, does) or homonyms (their, they’re, and there) • difficulty telling time with a clock with hands • trouble with math - memorizing multiplication tables - memorizing a sequence of steps - directionality • when speaking, difficulty finding the correct word - lots of “whatyamacallits” and “thingies” - common sayings come out slightly twisted • extremely messy bedroom, backpack, and desk • dreads going to school - complains of stomach aches or headaches - may have nightmares about school If you recognize these signs let Sam help you to overcome what is holding you back from being your best.

PATRICK MCCARRAN

Here’s What You Need To Know About the Listing Agreement Each of the four types of standard agreements—Exclusive Right to Sell, Open Listing, and Exclusive Agency—is a legally binding contract that authorizes a broker and her sales associates to produce a buyer for a home, according to the conditions specified in the contract.

Depending on the type of listing agreement, you can expect to see most of these terms detailed in the document. • Terms of the Agreement The length of time the contract will be in effect typically runs anywhere from 30 to 90 days, depending on the local market.

Under Terms of the Agreement, you’ll also find the price of the home. You should arrive at the home’s market value after considering the Comparative Market Analysis and other market factors with your agent.

• Commission

Here you’ll find a description of the property and its general condition as well as the condition of its major systems— mechanical, plumbing and electrical. Along with the description should be a list of the items that will stay with the home, for instance, the washer and dryer, and those items you intend to remove such as a special light fixture.

It may come as a surprise that commissions are not set by the industry and are negotiable. Real estate professionals expect to earn between 6% and 7% of the sale price, depending on the market and the services offered. The home is generally offer on the MLS and the commission is split with the buyers agent.

• Marketing Plan

• Multiple Listing Service (MLS)

While the marketing plan is not specifically in the agreement it can be added as an addendum. The marketing strategy should be discussed and structured to cast a wide net and might include advertising, open houses, the multiple listing service, signage, fact sheets, color flyers, and so on.

This section authorizes a real estate professional to list your home with the MLS. While you have the right to opt out of listing with the MLS I do not recommend it. The MLS can dramatically increase exposure and with it help maximize your home’s value The MLS is the main portal to the Internet and will increase the chances of selling your home.

Your Realtor will complete the listing agreement based on your input, so you may want to take time before you meet to consider your response to each section of the contract. The more prepared you are, the less likely you’ll have a misunderstanding down the road.

• Lockbox Basically a hollowed-out padlock or miniature safe holds a key to your home.

The lockbox allows convenient access for Agents showing the home. Only an Agent with an electronic key can gain entry. The visit is recorded and accessible to find out who showed the home and when.
