Unfortunately, there is a heavy debate about wine and being pregnant.
I would love to recommend a good red wine as a gift for the parents to be so they can relax. However, that would be unprofessional of me and maybe a bad idea.
Instead, get them gifts for the baby so they can use their money for wine later instead of a pack of diapers.

Here we are at the decor. Pretty much anything blue will be fine but if you want to be different, go green or gray. Most decor can be DIY and won’t cost much. Just be sure you’re having fun or else it wouldn’t be worth it. On the bright side, everything is a bit easier during a baby shower because the theme is already picked out for you.
If the expecting mother is having a boy, then you’ve got a lot of blue in your future.

Menu "for the top five": compiling a student's diet for the week
I have always been one hundred percent sure that my mother and grandmother love me with all their hearts, because I saw it. Tenderness and care lived in grandmother's hot pancakes and meat pies, hid in mother's crispy puff envelopes with chicken, which were waiting in the kitchen in the morning. Food is also the language of love and tenderness. But what to cook for a small child or a child who is suspicious of everything new? In our selection - only proven recipes!
- Monday
- Tuesday
- Wednesday
- Thursday
- Friday
Breakfast (07:00 - 08:00)
Dairy porridge with fruits and nuts
milk porridge and juice
buckwheat, oat, millet, semolina - choose for an amateur.
Oatmeal, by the way, is better to grind before cooking, so that it cooks faster and is more tender in texture. Add fruits to porridge 2-3 minutes before cooking, so that they do not boil soft and retain their benefits and taste.
Practice shows that the bodies of six-year-old adults can withstand only a few tablespoons of rice porridge and do not digest semolina at all. Rice will go well with nuts (finely chopped) and honey (be careful with it, some children are allergic to it). You can decorate the composition with frozen blueberries - it pleasantly sets off the milky taste and adds juiciness.
Lunch (10:00 am - 11:00 am)
Grab a whole-grain bread sandwich, grapes, and peeled tangerine as a snack (the child won't have time to fight the skin). You can make them themed lunches. For example, Monday is opening day. Using cheese and a cookie cutter, draw a picture of a ladybug and carefully tape a note with interesting facts about this insect to the outside of the lunch box lid.
Lunch (13:00 - 14:00)
Potato mashed potatoes with meat cutlet and vegetables
Beetroot salad
to the children's version of this salad is better not to add garlic, but bunny and walnuts and walnut nuts , season with olive oil and salt. To save money, it’s worth stocking boiled beets so that you don’t torment your head every day in search of new recipes. It is enough to put a sealed container with it in the refrigerator, and at the right time just grate, season with oil and other additives. Beetroot retains its flavor for about three days, so you can use it at least twice a week.
Vegetable puree soup
Each housewife has her own recipe for this quick, tasty, dietary dish. Delivery plays a big role. Many children refuse soups as soon as they see boiled carrots, onions, and especially tomatoes in the broth. Therefore, it is better to grind the vegetable soup into a puree, add sour cream and fresh, freshly fried in butter, bread croutons.
Meat cutlets with potatoes
Many children are much more willing to eat even the most ordinary cutlets and mashed potatoes if they are interesting to serve. And if you add a little sour cream and cheese to the puree, but first, as soon as the potatoes become soft, grind them with butter and only then pour in warm milk - the child will surely ask for more!
Dinner (19:00)
Meatballs with rice
Minced meat for meatballs is best prepared from lean pork mixed with beef. Be sure to make the gravy—sometimes kids will eat it first as the tastiest part of the dish. And by adding vegetables (carrots, onions, peppers), you will make the gravy even healthier.
Breakfast (07:00 - 08:00)
Omelet & Green Tea
For the omelette, use medium-fat eggs and milk, add grated cheese a minute before done, this will add thickness to the airy texture.
Put a slice of lemon and a spoonful of honey into tea. There are a million options for decorating an omelet, but it’s better to come up with your own. Take as a basis the images of the heroes of the books the child has just read, draw their faces or silhouettes with ketchup - at the same time there will be something to discuss at the table.
Lunch (10:00 - 11:00)
Bananas, nuts, fruit, bread, sliced boiled chicken and cheese - simple and nutritious. By the way, if you haven’t noticed yet, the food that the child takes with him should be cut into small pieces so that it is convenient to eat. Tuesday lunch can be a prediction if you make it in the style of the cartoon that you next watch with your child.
Lunch (13:00 - 14:00)
Vegetable puree soup
Vitamin salad
Cabbage, carrot, apple salad dressed with olive oil is one of the favorites of children.
It is better to wash the cabbage with your hands so that it becomes softer and gives juice, and add a drop of lemon juice to the salad.
Vegetable puree soup
There are heroic mothers who cook according to new recipes every day, but for a child, eating one soup for two days in a row is the norm. Chop green onions there or season with herbs: for a change!
Meat goulash with potatoes
The fastest way is to cook in a slow cooker — fry the carrots and onions, add the beef cut into small cubes, hold in the "Fry" mode for another 15 minutes, then put the potatoes in the bowl and pour boiled water. Continue in the "Extinguishing" mode: after 40 minutes, add a spoonful of tomato paste, half a glass of milk and leave for another 20 minutes. You will get a dish and the truth is like from our childhood.
Dinner (19:00)
Cottage cheese and carrot-apple salad
Low-fat cottage cheese mousse can be prepared sweet or savory: many children like the combination of cottage cheese, cheese and greens.
Serve with a salad of green leaves and lightly fried chicken, and closer to bedtime, you can drink a glass of kefir. they do not categorically recognize it - they consider it too sour. But many people like cottage cheese smoothies: fruit, cottage cheese are mixed in a blender 9%, sour cream 15% or cream.
This is a nutritious dish, but if in doubt that the child is full, make him a toast and pour cocoa. It must be with small marshmallows, otherwise the magic of the morning will be lost!
Lunch (10:00 - 11:00)
Make a whole grain sandwich with lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and cheese in the middle. In addition to it, slices of carrots and cucumbers, nuts and berries are suitable. The middle of the week is a great opportunity to keep the student motivated. Put down a small note with encouraging words and tell how proud you are of your child's success.
Lunch (13:00 - 14:00)
oil - you get a fresh, nutritious start to dinner.
Borscht
In addition to the veal in the base of the broth and the traditional set of vegetables, add red beans and celery to the borscht. Such a soup will be very satisfying, so do not force the child to eat a second one if he does not want to.
Pasta with bolognese pasta
Do not add a lot of spices to the sauce, for a children's dish it is enough to stew the meat with tomatoes and a spoonful of tomato paste. Replace spaghetti with small shells or wheels - they are easier to eat.
Dinner (19:00)
Carrot Cheese Casserole
Bake it in the oven in individual serving bowls and decorate with funny vegetable faces. In separate plates, the casserole will not wind up on the sides and will look much more appetizing.
Breakfast (07:00 - 08:00)
Pasta and paints
You won't believe it.
but many children happily eat pasta in the morning. And if you buy colored ones or boil ordinary ones in water tinted with food coloring, and serve with colorful vegetables, there will be no limit to delight!
Lunch (10:00 - 11:00)
Baking tins are perfect for creating creative sandwiches with boiled chicken, cheese and cucumber slices. Add some nuts, vegetables, diced cheese to the diet, backing up this variety with notes with stories from your childhood.
Lunch (13:00 - 14:00)
Cucumber boats with crab salad
Salad in cucumber boats
Cut the cucumber into two parts, clean the middle and put in it crab, potato, potato or any vegetable salad. Using a toothpick and a slice of cucumber, draw a boat and serve.
Borscht
During the day, borscht will infuse and become even tastier, believe me.
Potato casserole
A hearty, nutritious dish that will replenish your energy after school and help you start your homework with enthusiasm.
Add vegetables to the minced meat: carrots, peas, onions, tomatoes, zucchini - and the delicious will become healthy.
Dinner (19:00)
Steamed fish and vegetables
Serve this hot dish like a salad. Boil everything, cut into small cubes, mix and season with olive oil, salt and herbs.
Breakfast (07:00 - 08:00)
Pancakes with milk
This delicious breakfast offers plenty of options for decorating with fruits, berries and sweet sauces. Invite the child to participate: draw a pattern on pancakes using a pastry syringe.
Lunch (10:00 - 11:00)
At the end of the week, make sweet sandwiches with jam, add more berries, favorite fruits and vegetables. Come up with a game: for example, pack strawberries for cucumbers, and fill mini carrots with blueberries. Let the child find and correct his mother's mistakes.
Lunch (13:00 - 14:00)
Chicken cutlet with pasta
Kids love Fresh vegetable cuts
All fresh vegetables cut into strips.
My grandmother laid out a hut out of it, and put a cup of sour cream and cheese inside.
Ukha
As we remember, soup is not held in high regard by children, but if figures are cut out of vegetables with metal molds, children eat it much more willingly.
Chicken cutlets with pasta
Add zucchini to traditional chicken fillet cutlets: you get a more delicate taste, and the unloved vegetable will go unnoticed. As a result, juicy tasty balls go with a bang.
Dinner (19:00)
Steamed meat soufflé and vinaigrette
A light salad combined with a soft, tender veal or beef soufflé will not leave you hungry. After such a dinner, the child will feel light and, perhaps, the process of putting to bed will become a little easier.
