Baby Expert: Trust Your Neighbors

(Year 234, Spring) - The worst mistake I see in Parenting is taking your children for granted, says baby expert Heidi L. Wooblershield. She claims that babies are a blessing, but not being blessed with them is not the same as being cursed.

- Some of us won't have our own children, but then we might become the greatest resource to someone else's child instead. Raising a new generation is just as much a community matter and that is where we are all equally important!

Our kids deserve better Toy stores!

(Year 232, Winter) What if you could visit a good toy store to buy toys and skill items for your child? Well, in Mazaloom this seems rather complicated at the moment. In fact, you will hardly find any stores aimed towards babies or children at all. Baby expert Heidi L. Wooblershield (52) had enough!

- This is nothing but sad! They used to have a decent corner here at the Old Salt House in San Myshuno, but look at it now! It looks like an abandoned storage room that you entered by mistake!

Heidi knows how important toys are to a child growing up, as she raised 4 of them.

People Chamber - Ministry of Health & Welfare

(Year 232, Summer) This is the fourth part of brief introductions to the 5 ministries of People Chamber. They are Law & Justice, Trades & Taxes, Culture & Entertainment, Health & Welfare, and finally Science & Education. Each ministry has 1 Minister joined by 3 or 4 members. Here is the current Ministry of Health & Welfare!

This ministry has a total of 4 members including the Minister. Their main focus is the practical aspects of medical care, and welfare. This also includes sports and food/health aspects of certain businesses, such as restaurants/bars and hotels. In addition they oversee population's demographics including Residents Registry updates.

Protect your Infant!

(Year 230, Summer) In Windenburg there lives a big family in an old, tiny house locally known as Cottage Am See. Heidi (Lobster) Wooblershield (50) raised four children, and is still not done with that job, as the youngest is just about starting school. With all her baby experience she now reacts to how many parents leave their infants and toddlers unprotected in the sun.

- I'm surprised - not to say shocked, when I see small helpless infants put down on a mat in the heating sun without sunglasses! How can  any parent think that is a great idea to expose those young eyes with extreme bright light? Some wear a sunhat, which might help a little on a clouded day, but on a sunny Summer day a hat is far from enough! The infant's eyes are not prepared for such bright light, and the skin of an infant or toddler has absolutely no desire to be exposed for the burning sun at all!
