The May deadline for GDPR compliance is rapidly looming into view – driving demand for scanning and document capture solutions. ANDREW COWLING, business development and channel marketing specialist at Fujitsu, tells AUSTIN CLARK more about the opportunity.
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a hot topic for organisations of all sizes – and, with the 25th May deadline looming, boards, business leaders and IT teams alike are, no doubt, frantically trying to make sure their business processes are in order. And with good reason – compliance failures can lead to fines of up to €20m or 4% of annual turnover.
By the deadline businesses must have established GDPR-compliant policies that allow effective processing of personal data. Andrew Cowling, business development and channel marketing specialist at Fujitsu, says this, essentially, involves being able to answer the following seven questions:
1. Right to access – can you find all the data you hold on an individual?
2. Retention periods – do you know how long you can lawfully hold the data for?
3. Data erasure – are you confident that the right of an individual to 'be forgotten' can be met – and that every single trace can be removed?
4. Privacy by design – are you building-in security steps from the outset?
5. Security – how many copies of your documents exist?
6. Consent – do you have consent to hold the data and how will you use it?
7. Audit trails – GDPR is not just about being compliant – it's about proving it in a court of law – can you confidently prove your processes are lawful?
The good news for dealers is that they are well-placed to guide customers through the GDPR journey and help them become compliant – especially by leveraging the support available from Fujitsu. "Fujitsu is the leader in the imaging market so we're best placed to identify the business trends and industry drivers that create new opportunities for dealers," explains Andrew. "We have indepth knowledge of how scanning and document capture can help organisations achieve GDPR compliance and are working with a
number of partners to provide professional support and establish GDPR-related strategies and clearly-defined processes relating to how to detect and react to data security flaws."
When it comes to achieving GDPR compliance the starting point recommended by Fujitsu is to conduct an assessment of relevant data held today, and where it resides, starting with the digitisation of paper-based documents through scanning and merging with digitally-born material. "As I mentioned in the December issue of Dealer Support, paperbased documents are more prone to human errors of misjudgement and can, very quickly, get into the wrong hands," comments Andrew. "Scanning allows organisations to take complete control of data by scanning, digitising and working online. Once documents are scanned they can be filed in a multitude of places, whether on a network, in the cloud or on a local PC. "Fujitsu's range of scanners covers the full range of personal, compact, desktop, slim, portable devices or larger, departmental and production scanners – which means that, together with dealers, we can help organisations of all sizes with their document capture needs. However, when selling scanning solutions, it's about more than hardware; specialist software really comes into play here – and this is a real opportunity for dealers to further grow business and help customers. "Fujitsu offers a portfolio of capture software designed to leverage and optimise what is most important in doc ments – the data. From a GDPR-specific perspective we've partnered with EASY Software UK, whose sister company, OtrisSoftware AG, has been working on privacy management solutions over the past 12 years in heavily regulated Germany. This software makes the identification and management of personal data easier, streamlining data capture and entry points, which makes answering those questions posed above much easier. In addition, access is locked down to only those users with appropriate permissions."
Andrew points out that, while GDPR is a strong reason for organisations to invest in scanning, there are a number of additional reasons for businesses to embrace the move from paper to digital processes "Investment in digital transformation can now deliver savings and efficiencies across the whole business, as well as helping to prepare for
future regulatory compliance," he says. "Legislation can be a powerful tool to drive a cultural change, so let us see GDPR in that light: a chance for organisations to embrace digital transformation."
These benefits include:
• Better organised data, all stored in one place
• Increased storage capabilities with cloud-based servers
• Quicker find and retrieval of files
• Ability to manage data more effectively
• Easier to share information/files between colleagues and across office locations
• Increased efficiencies/time-savings for admin staff
• Increased office space with less physical filing required
• Greater security of data
"Paperless working delivers business efficiencies while helping to achieve compliance with GDPR, so the sales message is a compelling one," says Andrew. "The potential risks associated with GDPR – most notably the fines and damage to reputation – mean businesses simply have to be prepared. When there is commercial upside, and business
efficiency to be gained by becoming compliant, the choice of doing the right thing by your data is a clear one. Fujitsu is there to help dealers capitalise on this opportunity."
Further sales support is available through the Fujitsu Imaging Channel Program (www.imagingchannel- program.com) which has been designed to help partners:
• Realise the full potential of the imaging and digitisation market
• Sharpen your competitive edge
• Open new doors, close more deals and drive margins
• Connect with Fujitsu's imaging partner ecosystem
• Differentiate your business
Webinars, co-branded brochures and other marketing materials, product toolkits, product selection configurators and even automatic social media content are available. There's also exclusive access to Fujitsu's special promotions and its sales lead pipeline, making it a must-have for all dealers.

Preheat oven to 325ºF. Remove turkey from brine, rinse then dry thoroughly inside and out.
Tie legs with cooking twine and tuck wing tips under bird.
Smear butter over the turkey and sprinkle with thyme leaves, salt and pepper.
Roast turkey (preferably in a V-shaped roasting rack) for 3 hours or until internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh is 175ºF. Breast and stuffing should be 165ºF.
Cover turkey breast with foil if it's browning too quickly. If you are basting every 20 minutes, it will take longer. Use a thermometer to gauge progress.
Let turkey rest at least 20 minutes or up to 45 minutes tented with a generous amount of foil.

Rep. Celia Israel (D-Austin) has filed House Bill 1368, which would lower the default speed limit on neighborhood streets in urban areas from 30 miles per hour to 25.
Kathy Sokolic - a supporter of the measure - shared her nephew's story at the Texas Capitol. Ben Sears was 9 when he was struck and seriously injured in Austin's Mueller neighborhood.
"Wicked smart, silly as all get out, very focused," said his aunt Kathy Sokolic. "He loved putting LEGOs together, he loved reading."
Then, in the blink of an eye, that all changed.
"He can't speak, he can't eat. He can barely move on his own," Sokolic said.
The life-altering change is the result of a traffic crash that happened right across the street from Ben's front door.
"The driver was going westbound," Sokolic described, "and Ben was just getting out of the car and stepped in front of the truck."
There's not a speed limit sign on Ben's street so by Texas law, drivers can go 30 miles per hour. The crash left Ben with broken bones, bruises on his heart and lungs, a brain injury and a broken neck.
"That should have killed him. But it didn't," Sokolic said.
Now 10-years old, Ben lives in a Dallas medical facility with around-the-clock care while his parents, grandparents, Sokolic and her husband remain in Austin. Each taking turns traveling to Dallas to be with him.
While he fights to heal, Sokolic is fighting for change.
"We only meet every two years and we have the power to take what should be a bi-partisan issue and make this happen," Israel said during a news conference Thursday.
"The way I paid my way through college was by being a pizza delivery driver. And pizza delivery drivers are known to drive way too fast," Israel said, "so if a pizza delivery driver can get behind this initiative."
Israel couldn't finish her sentence before the room burst into laughter. They all knew what she was getting at, that she hopes they too can back her bill. And already, the cities of Houston and Austin are.
"The studies show that if we reduce from 30 to 25 on those small neighborhood streets, the chances of survival for someone involved in an accident is almost 50 percent better with just that five mile per hour difference," said Austin Mayor Steve Adler, citing data from AAA Texas.
Ben's aunt and grandmother will always wonder how that difference could have changed his life.
"It's very possible they simply would have seen each other. That's what you hope for," said Ben's grandmother Candyce Buyrne. "The reaction time gives you time to see each other and avoid."
"The driver could have swerved, Ben could have stepped back," added Sokolic. "If we can help prevent anyone else from having to go through this, it's, it's a victory, it's a win."
The driver who hit Ben did stop and was not cited by police.
Ben's family believes the bill won't only help victims, but also drivers who often have to cope with the effects of tragic crashes as well.
GO HERE to follow the progress of HB 1368 in the Texas Legislature.

Hulu alert – 12 more days to watch Square Pegs
Hulu has a message posted for Square Pegs - "Streaming rights for this series will expire on 3-31-11 at 11:45PM PST."
This means we would have to buy the DVD set in order to enjoy this blast from the past and I'm cheap. And, I saw all of them when they originally were shown back in 1982-1983.
I would recommend starting with the first episode so you get the experience of what seems to be the worst-produced canned laugh track ever. Most of the jokes are completely missed and the dubbed in laughter is so puny that it sounds like four people in a bathroom laughing at a poot. By episode 6, that person must have gotten fired because it does get better.
Episode 18 features guest star Bill Murray. He appears to be ad-libbing his entire part. (Of course, this embedded link will no longer work after March 31, 2011).
I'm not trying to say that Square Pegs was the best thing on TV but it was certainly unique for its time. Hit music is part of the soundtrack (lots of Billy Idol) and several bands of the day are featured (including a very odd Devo performance at Muffy Tepperman's Bat Mitzvah).
Finally, I had forgotten how the school in Square Pegs looked a lot like my long ago demolished junior high school.
I even think that the door to the teachers lounge looked a lot like this.
Finally, in other news, my Blackberry gets turned off at 4PM Central to begin my glorious week of freedom from all things work related!

Every now and again I believe a reminder is in store addressing the reason and rationale for various approaches we take. One such topic relates to Yield On Cost which can generate passion on both sides of the debate. One side equates this metric as little more than a head fake while the other swears by its' value. As with most issues, the real answer lies in between. At the very least all sides agree on the definition which per Investopedia is:
Yield on Cost (YOC) is the annual dividend rate of a security, divided by its average cost basis.
- I've derived a nice profit, resulting in
- A tax liability which will be incurred upon sale
- An ongoing 13.36% ROI
It provides no clues as to the current or future prospects nor does it provide an inkling as to the ongoing business viability. For these – and a host other reasons – further due diligence should be performed. I don't use the YOC alone as a rationale to hold as it is possible to change my allocation to generate greater income. The intangible impacts would be on sector allocation and personal safety required.
Meanwhile, I'm content with the realization that the dividends continue to perform the heavy lifting to deliver a nice 'feel-good' result. Care to share your thoughts on Yield on Cost?

Easter Gift Ideas from Mattel
Make a pledge this year – give the chocolate Easter Bunnies a break! Every year, kids find one (maybe 2, if they're lucky) toys buried under piles of candy in their Easter baskets. Why not give kids what they really want? Toys! In an effort to switch it up this year and not overflow Easter baskets with candy (hello, 90 million chocolate bunnies purchased annually!), let's pledge to give kids more reasons to play and less reasons to bring on the cavities!
Mattel sent us some great toys to consider for our children's Easter baskets this year! Check out some of the ones that we recommend below!
Disney Frozen Elsa Small Doll Magical Lights Palace
Inspired by the hit new Disney animated film, Frozen, kids will love reenacting their favorite scenes from the movie. Elsa can enjoy sweet dreams on her cozy bed, get royal ready at her vanity, or sit on her throne. The entire palace lights up with the push of a button to create a magical, colorful lightshow throughout the palace, which extends and expands to re-create Elsa's impressive castle from the film. Just like in the Disney movie Frozen, girls can re-create Elsa's adventures in her majestic ice palace atop the north mountain, where she unleashes her magical powers over ice and snow! In this iridescent, wintry-hued ice palace, adorable Elsa (included) can travel up and down on the palace's girl-activated elevator or stand behind her curtain which spins for a surprise reveal. The play set also includes the adorable Olaf figurine.
My daughter loved getting this toy set out last week as we finally got to pop in our Frozen DVD at home! She played and played while she watched the movie!
SRP: $34.99 | Ages 3+ years | Available: Now | www.walmart.com
• Recreate Elsa's adventures in her majestic ice palace, where she unleashes her magical powers over ice and snow!
• Elsa can enjoy sweet dreams on her cozy bed, get royal ready at her vanity, or sit on her throne.
• Includes castle, Elsa figure and adorable Olaf figurine
Barbie The Pearl Princess 2-in-1 Mermaid Princess Doll
If your little girl has seen the Barbie movie "Barbie The Pearl Princess," then she is going to love this mermaid princess doll. Girls can recreate the thrilling moments from the movie with this doll, who changes her look with the press of a button. Her gorgeous pearl necklace hides the mechanism - push the necklace and her outfit transforms from mermaid to mermaid princess. This is a great Easter Basket Stuffer and is certain to be a welcome surprise for your little one!
The hard shell tail falls forward to reveal a "pearl"-draped tail with a soft, sheer train. My daughter loved this feature because she loves pretty, flowy things! For an added surprise, her hair changes color in water! The pink streaks appearing and disappearing when she is in and out of the water. This was my daughter's favorite part. My daughter has long blonde hair and wants to know when her hair will change colors now too! LOL
Keep it long and flowing with the comb tucked into her fin and hidden away. Girls will love playing out scenes and creating new ones for this magical mermaid – and bath time will be so much more enjoyable with this new friend in the tub.
She retails for about $18.97 | Ages 3+ years | Available: Now at Amazon here

Anti-graft war should entrench transparency, accountability — Kagame
Ronald Mutum
President of Rwanda Paul Kagame has said the anti-corruption crusade of African countries should be reframed in positive terms as a struggle for transparency, public integrity and accountability.
He spoke yesterday in Abuja during the National Democracy Day Anti-Corruption Summit theme: Curbing Electoral Spending: A Panacea to Public Corruption.
He said the idea that the fight against corruption is dangerous should be upturned to declare that not fighting corruption is more dangerous.
He said corruption should be tackled from the top down, noting that, "it is the fairest approach and the most effective because it empowers the public in the fight, and hold leaders accountable through elections."
In this way, he says, corruption can be reduced to the barest minimum, adding that "overcoming corruption is about four key Principles: culture, responsibility, accountability and effectiveness."
He said Africa must discard the myth that corruption is endemic to a particular culture, noting that, corruption is a universal weakness and not an African one.
Kagame said this is why it is time to redefine transparency as a global objective that requires all to work together with mutual respect.
He said corruption does not take decades to eradicate, adding that, "huge gains can be made quickly once we decide to break the habit, and we in Africa are in charge of our own future."
He said the purpose of transparency is not to impress others but to make our own societies better because that is what our people expect.
He noted that without transparency and trust, leaders would not be able to use national wealth to make measurable improvements in the wellbeing of citizens.
He said it is not enough to fight corruption just as merely fighting poverty, "we want to create value, we want to create wealth, not only fighting to eliminate corruption… and ensure all nations benefit from nation-building."

2019-06-28 - Portsmouth-Caen
Survey details
Survey route: Portsmouth-Caen
Company: Brittany Ferries
Sea region: English Channel
Survey start date: 2019-06-28
Number of nights: 1
Survey sightings
It was a bright and early start for the ORCA team boarding the Mont St Michel from Portsmouth International Ferry Terminal on route to sunny Caen. For two surveyors this would be their first ever ORCA survey, which made the crossing especially exciting.
Shortly after leaving Portsmouth harbour the ORCA team were on the bridge ready for the day survey. Sea conditions were constant throughout with a sea state 4 recorded for most the transect, swell varied from slight to moderate and the sunny conditions meant glare was present throughout the day. With two new Marine Mammal Surveyors this did not deter the team, providing the new members with valuable sea experience to put the ORCA protocol into practice and the opportunity to get to grips with Logger.
On both the outbound and inbound transect birds were few and far between; Northern gannets, herring gull, black-headed gulls, a lone manx shearwater and a pigeon were all spotted. Midway between Portsmouth and Caen we had our first brief encounter with two unidentified cetaceans on the port side, their dorsal fins silhouetted against the glare making a positive identification difficult. As we approached Caen the sea conditions settled to a very pleasant sea state 2 with swell absent. Although no further cetaceans were sighted, large numbers of cormorants could be seen basking in the sunshine on the rocks that border the entrance to Caen port.
With such a quick turnaround in Caen there was just enough time to grab a bite to eat and enjoy the numerous swifts dancing high in the clear blue sky, before checking back in.
We were soon back on board the Mont St Michel and looking forward to our return sailing. The weather conditions remained unchanged from our morning transect, sadly no further marine mammals were sighted and as we approached the Isle of Wight it was time for us to leave the bridge.
Many thanks to the hardworking, enthusiastic team who made this such an enjoyable trip. And a special thank you to the captain and crew for making us feel very welcome on board the Mont St Michel.
Marine Mammal Sightings:
2x Unidentified dolphins
Bird Sightings:
Northern gannet, herring gull, Manx shearwater, pigeon, black-headed gull, cormorant and swift

KNIT sweater for weddings
I had the pictures for this pullover in mind for a long time:
☀ delicate, through-shimmering and slightly knitted
The loose knit sweater is finished with a sturdier cuff. So the sweater is just perfect. The dress, top or a beautiful lace bra shimmer through.
☀ A bridal pullover knitted for ... bridal skirts and bridal gowns
The sweater was knitted in two different patterns. The sleeves are knit in a shimmering lace, front and back smooth right. A beautiful and harmonious combination.
The sweater is cut waisted. So it ends exactly where a tulle skirt starts or the wedding dress continues to expire:

I have been missing for over a month. Well, as far as blogging that is. As far as getting outside and getting work done not so. We are at the beginning of year three in our home and it seems like all we've done is work to upgrade Ms. Beldon.
The painting of the shed is basically done, but still needs a bit of touch up. For now, however, it is in almost brand new condition and being used for garden supplies and tools. Also some wood to burn. The cement blocks are getting painted and I have planted Pansies in them. I have hanging baskets of Nasturtium on both side of the doors now too.
Ms. Beldon's bees didn't survive winter, so we are taking the time to create a good pollination garden. Lots of earth to clear and treat along with adding vegetable and flower plants. We were short about four bags of stones to finish the walk, but that will come in the next few days. The stepping stones are of my grand children's feet and hands. It is looking quite nice and more thought out.
My garlic came up well, but needed a lot of TLC as far as weeding. It took my broken body a couple of mornings to get it done and the straw down, but it has grown now to about twenty four inches tall. I am looking forward to scape's and hopefully some good size bulbs. I have just run out of last years harvest and purchases.
I have container tomatoes growing as well as tomatoes in the ground. Probably too many, but I have people who will help eat them and they can be frozen or canned in many ways.
I have squash varieties that I have been transplanting into buckets. There will be ten total for squash and as they die off I will plant more. Already getting what looks like blossoms. Next will be peppers transplanted into buckets. I have planted some peppers in the ground at the front of the house also.
I am trying my hand at Glass Gem popcorn. Only three seedlings survived the wind and rain, but they are healthy and I can hope.
The sunflowers are doing almost too well. They need to because Hunter found a way to dig under the fence to get at them. We used some of the old screens from the old windows to deter him, and so far so good. They blow back and forth with any wind, hit the stakes, and then blow back and lean on the fence. It startles him so he's getting the message.
These are two of the varieties of Iris we planted two years ago. They are having a grand time in the sun. This year we were gifted purple ones and they are being planted around the yard, and there will be many added to this garden.
We were also gifted several large clumps of Hosta. Most of them we put in the ground as clumps and we will thin them over the years as the gardens grow. We separated one large clump and planted them around the back and sides of the compost bin. Just to beautify it a bit. Until last week they were closed in because guess who thought he should dig them too. Yes, Hunter.
But Hunter isn't the only issue as far as my garden goes. Along with the ground hogs, mama deer has been leaving her baby along the fence during the day which is about ten feet from my garden. So far she has not eaten anything and I am putting pinwheels up and will leave Hunter to bark at it, so maybe mom changes her mind about leaving it there. Gardening sure has it's challenges, and all of this before we even talk about insects.
It wouldn't be my post if I didn't include a picture of Hunter. I had a lot of choices including a video of him stealing a set of keys and the owner chasing him around the yard for them. He is such a proud thief, but this one is the best. It's the reason we have furniture covers, wear clothes several times before washing and the stack of towels that are in and out of the washer and dryer. He is forty six pounds of pure energy and he is not quite my best friend. I have so much more work to do with him. He forgets all that he is taught and it's start from the beginning every day, but they say it will come. I will keep trying. To think I wanted chickens too. One animal is enough. Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit. Have a great week, love one another, and share your bounty. Until next time.

et a taste of Africa during your
next cocktail hour with Whitley
Neill Gin. This unique and
distinctive spirit might be crafted
here on our shores, but its heart
is most certainly in Africa.
John James Whitley Neill became
enamoured with this intriguing continent
long before creating his gin - not least
because of his wife's African heritage. It
was from her he learnt of the Tree of Life,
or Baobab, the iconic upside-down tree
of the African bushveld.
This unusual tree earned its name from
its ability to store vast amounts of water in
its trunk, to cope with its sometimes harsh
environment. In the face of this adversity,
it nevertheless produces delicious fruit.
The bright citrus pulp became a crucial
ingredient for Neill's gin, and became its
logo, featuring on every bottle.
But Africa had more to oer Neill in the
form of the bittersweet Cape Gooseberry,
or physalis, whose citrus notes add a
brightness and sharpness to the gin.
It's safe to say that neither of these
botanicals have featured in a gin before,
but they nevertheless combine ideally with
the gin's other ingredients - seven carefullychosen,
and somewhat more traditional
botanicals, from juniper to coriander seeds,
Whitley Neill Gin is an exotic spirit that's rooted in tradition. It's no wonder that it's made
a home for itself in some of London's �nest bars, and in some beautiful cocktails to boot
the tree oflifeangelica root and Florentine Iris.
There was no shortage of inspiration or
expertise for Neill to draw on when it came
to the traditional component of his gin. Neill
comes from a family steeped in gin-distilling
history, with a direct line, eight generations
before him, to Thomas Greenall, founder of
famous gin producer Greenall's. Not only that,
but he was born half a mile from Warrington,
home to Greenall's distillery to this day.
Neill was destined to create a great gin, and
Whitley Neill Gin is proof of his success in this
regard. His creation is distinctive, and a tting
tribute to the continent that has inspired it. It
is soft and generous, complemented by fresh
citrus and a spicy, fragrant freshness, all lifted
by a racy peppery note.
It's no surprise that Whitley Neill does such
great service in a classic GT or Martini, or
that a number of top London bars have been
using it to great eect. The knowledge, the
passion, and the inimitable heart of Africa all
combine together seamlessly in every drink.
Where to try it
Whether you're enjoying the glamorous
setting of the Bassoon Bar at the Corinthia
Hotel, or having a party at The Big Chill
House in King's Cross, you'll nd Whitley
Neill in an array of dierent cocktails.
In Hoxley Porter, the Cape-to-Cairo
themed time capsule on Upper Street,
you'll nd the andricia, a cocktail that truly
embraces Whitley Neill's African heritage. It
matches the gin with date-infused gomme
syrup and cashew bitters, lifted by some
lemon juice and egg white, and nished o
with a Cape gooseberry.
'I wanted to capture the taste of Africa and
complement the baobab and physalis fruits,
not overpower them,' says the drink's creator,
Bianca Hepworth. 'That's why I have gone for
dried fruits and nuts which are soft avours
and really bring out the warm fruitiness of
the gin, but remain refreshing. Totally what
I would want to drink on an African evening!'

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has created new rules regarding lead paint in homes that will go into effect on April 22. Called the Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule, the new requirements will apply to any contractor that performs work for hire in what is called "target housing". In this case it means any home or apartment built before 1978 and any child-occupied facility, such as a day care or school.
The EPA has devoted a great deal of attention to lead over the years, because lead is so toxic, especially to children. Public perception about the risk of lead paint has generally centered on the dangers of paint chips, but these rules are more concerned with lead dust, especially when generated by a renovation repair or maintenance.
This new rule isn't just for painters – it also applies to any contractor that will disturb paint, including carpenters, painters, electricians, plumbers, masons – any worker who could disturb possible lead-based paint during the course of work for pay.
The trigger for the rule is that if, during the course of work, a worker will disturb more than 6 square feet of paint in a room or more than 20 square feet on the exterior of a target structure. Replacing windows will always be covered by the new rules, even if you are technically disturbing less than 6 square feet of paint.
The rules require individual workers to be certified as well as the firms they work for. This will require employees performing the work and supervisors on site to be trained in proper lead-safe work practices. Those techniques include work procedures that minimize the production of dust, containing any dust and debris produced by the renovation work. Other techniques will require the HEPA vacuuming of surfaces (Partner Link) after work to clean up any remaining dust, followed by inspection, and, if-necessary, re-vacuuming.
You will want to know about this and start compliance efforts right away. The penalties – beyond the risk of making your workers, your clients and their children ill – can include suspension or revocation of your certification and fines up to $37,500 per violation. In addition, contractors found to be in violation of these rules can be subject to civil actions by homeowners.
Because this rule is of such significance to Realtors, the National Association of Realtors has also prepared and put on its website a variety of resources which will give you a solid overview of the new rules and what they mean to you.

11 Ways Moms Who Don't Take Themselves Too Seriously Are The Best Parents
I can feel a change coming in the world of parenting, probably in response to the arguably overblown (and endlessly debated and chastised and disccused) "helicopter parenting" movement. I think more and more mothers are wondering how to be a laid-back mom, mostly because there's an endless supply of stress and worry and anxiety at your disposal, forced on you by this palpable, overwhelming need to be the best parent you can possibly be. I mean, when you're responsible for keeping another person alive and happy and you're attempting to raise a human being to be kind and, you know, not the absolute worst, stress not only weighs on you, it overwhelms you.
I, for one, am a big believer in laughter. Well, okay, I'm a big believer in laughing at people. America's Funniest Home Videos was pretty much my favorite show of all time during my formative, adolescent years, because it made it completely acceptable to laugh at other people's misfortunes. It did, however, take a considerable amount of time for me to develop that same laid-back attitude when and if I became the butt of any joke. Thankfully, my partner has done his best to take me down a few notches in the overreaction department, which has made me love him even more. Honestly, there's nothing like a healthy dose of humility to remind you not to take yourself too seriously.
And while it took me a few (read: many) years to learn how to "let go" and be okay with being funny or silly or being laughed at or just being anything other than the "picture-perfect mother" (whatever that means because, honestly, does that mother even exist?), I am definitely a better parent for it. I've learned my lesson on more than one occassion, and along with those lessons came the ability to let the small stuff go, focus on what really matters, and truly enjoy every aspect of motherhood.
So, with that in mind, here are 11 ways moms who don't take themselves too seriously are the best parents. Trust me, if you can laugh at yourself, you can definitely laugh at all the stresses and anxieties and worries that come along with parenthood.
When You're Willing To Make A Fool Of Yourself, Your Kids Will Laugh More
Do you know what kids find funny? Dumb things. Just absolutely silly, extremely dumb things. What can I say? They're easily entertained. They don't want your subtle sarcastic wit just yet (wait for it; they will when they're teenagers), they want The Three Stooges. They want totally embarrassing physical humor. They want a pie in the face or a stubbed toe or something that will probably cause you to experience some semblence of pain, that will totally tickle their fancy. If you're willing to go there for them, they will have a blast.
Allowing Your Kids To See That You Aren't Perfect Is Healthier For Everyone
My 4-year-old daughter still remembers the time I said "sweet potwato" and, to this day, laughs about it. It was no big deal, but she is delighted to know that her mother makes mistakes too. Plus, there's the added bonus of reminding myself that I don't have to constantly stive to be "perfect", for my kids to be happy and healthy and in absolute awe of their mother. I can mess up and take a wrong turn and do something I wasn't "supposed" to do, and still be a great mother to my children.
You Just Have Way More Fun
Making your kids laugh, taking yourself less seriously, being more willing to laugh or be made fun of yourself; it will all help you enjoy your life more, (curveballs and all). Seemingly small moments will become cherished memories because you did that funny thing and your kids just couldn't stop laughing at it.
You're Being A Good Role Model
As your kids grow up and explore the world and attempt to figure out who they truly are, they're going to be looking to you as an example of how they should be and act and, essentially, function. Do you really want them to emulate how hard you are on yourself? Do you really want your kids holding themselves to the same impossible standards you do? Of course not, you want them to love themselves for who they are, flaws and all.
If You Don't Laugh, You'll Cry
Honestly, sometimes the best thing to do in an otherwise frustrating situation, is laugh. If you keep bottling up emotions (both positive and negative) you'll find yourself in the fetal position, crying uncontrollably (not that that has happened to me or anything but, oh wait, it totally has). There are plenty of situations in which you just have to laugh at yourself, laugh at the ridiculous thing your kid just did, or laugh at your ridiculous partner, otherwise you'll lose your mind and grow dangerously close to the edge of sanity.
You're Less Likely To Judge Other Parents
When you don't view yourself as some perfect, infallable human being, you are generally pretty cool and understanding and accepting of the very real, very human, very unavoidable imperfection around you.
Your Stress Level Goes Down, Which Means Your Kids' Stress Levels Go Down Too
You are far less likely to take your stress out on your children, when you take yourself less seriously. Instead of acting out irrationally towards your kids, you'll get rid of your stress with laughter and giggles and (much healthier) forms of relatively fun communication. (I'm still working on this one, but I don't think I'd ever douse my kid in ice water for hitting me with a spitball, so at least I have that going for me).
Because Letting Loose And Swearing Occasionally Is Good For You
A recent scientific study has suggested that swearing can alleviate pain , as well as make you feel stronger and indicate a higher level of intelligence. So let some steam off and swear a little bit. After all, it's healthy for fuck's sake.
You Don't Sweat The Small Stuff
Who cries over spilled milk? Laid-back moms do not cry over spilled milk, people. Unless it's an entire gallon or breastmilk that we have laboriously pumped for an endless number of hours. Then, you know, we cry.
Making Mistakes Is Less Of A Big Deal
Expecting absolute perfection, as a parent (or, you know, a human being in general), is arguably the most accurate definition of insanity. It's not doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results; it's holding yourself to an unatainable standard, fearing inevitable failure. Parenting is way easier on everyone when you're not being hard on yourself for messing up occasionally (or, you know, almost all the time).
People Who Don't Take Themselves Too Seriously Are Just Cooler
People who are fun to be around have more friends. Sorry not sorry, but that's the way it is. If you can laugh at yourself and your situation, people will experience an unsaid, silent permission to do the same. They'll feel accepted, because they know that you know that everyone messes up. And, trust me, parenting is much easier when you have people to laugh with.
