This is a blog about my life. The ups and downs. The fun stuff and the sad stuff. Living with 2 teenage boys, a fiance and a cocker spaniel can have some moments. Most this blog is about the relationships I share with my boys and how we manage a blended family.

Diamond rings are one of the most important pieces of jewelry because of its cost, beauty, purity & availability scarce. Some familiar words such as ���Diamond is the best mate of a girl��� & ���A Diamond is forever���, report their meaning.Diamond Rings are the most popular among all types of rings. People prefer to buy them for engagement or wedding purposes, although the diamonds are also popular gifts today. Usually, a gold ring, band, or titanium framed by diamonds or other gemstones such as sapphires, star sapphires made, emeralds & rubies, but nothing can be lost, the popularity of diamonds.The diamonds symbolize love. The stone is precious & rare to love beauty forever, as strong as himself, as pure as its own clarity. A diamond ring is not only important for brides & grooms, or couples planning to marry, it must be passed from generation to generation as blessing of elders.Diamonds & diamond jewelry are very expensive. People buy them occasionally, they must plan well before purchasing a diamond rings according to individual choice, needs & budget.It is a very elderly tested & proved theory for the acquisition of diamonds. They call this the theory of 4C (carat, cut, color & clarity).Carat ��� Carat is a unit of weight for precious stones (1 carat = 200 mg). Carat only deals with the weight of a diamond & has nothing to do with size. The heavier (in mass) of diamond, it���s more carats.Cut ��� Cut refers to the proportions, symmetry & finish or make the diamond. This can affect the cost of a diamond of large quantities. Three diamonds with the same carat, color, clarity can have different costs based solely on how its cut. Depending on how a diamond is cut, the eye can perceive, than larger ones.The size of a diamond is the only property that is artificial. The proportions & angles influence the internal reflection of light & the scattering of light leaving the diamond.This determines the brilliance & fire (brightness & luster) of diamond, & ultimately pretty. How to cut a diamond is reflected in the cost.Color: Diamond is obtainable in different colors such as blue, pink, purple, yellow & red. But the variety & the rarer the diamond is natural colorless diamond. Most gem quality diamonds come in different colors from colorless to yellow. D or colorless diamonds are very rare. The color of a diamond is determined on the basis of a visual assessment by comparison with a set of master diamonds under laboratory conditions. The color differences are very subtle & graded according to the size of the international rating of color.Clarity: This is the clarity of appearance, when looking in to a diamond. A flawless diamond will cost over a similar diamond that is less ideal.Apart from the theory of 4C, it is more of a C-certification is very important. A medical certificate for diamond is a document after a comprehensive evaluation by a qualified professional preparation.Diamond Occasion offers huge selection of Diamond Rings Melbourne

When You're Under 30!I must admit, there was a sense of relief to the finality of the birth of Little Mango 3 (I've decided to use these somewhat cute, a little bit disrespectful, yet ultimately safe ways of describing everybody - there's also Little Mangos 1 & 2, not to mention myself and Mrs Mango).Although a somewhat shaky start - a tense moment and an overly blue baby, brought back to colour by an amazingly fast and calm obstetrician - a blur of seconds as several things happened that I had no control over. For a father, I've always found, it's a very hard thing to make a very specific connection before birth as it will always be an external relationship for us - and at the moment when all else stops and your heart is captured again by another amazing creature, to have that stripped back and replaced with heartbreaking fear is something..... It certainly makes you realise just how much this new being means to you, even though you've only just laid eyes on them - another surreal feeling - loving someone beyond words without having seen, heard, spoken to or had any real idea about before that moment. They are a blank canvas, and you appreciate them for everything they are and ever will be - I know it sounds familiar (everyone says this about their kids) - but when it happens to you, the commonality and yet complete particularity of that event to you gives you this instant sense of the universe. Amazing!So Mango 3 ties the bow nicely. We are now a family of five. At 28. Half the people we know haven't even started trying for babies yet and we're (most very likely) finished altogether. And despite the inevitable times that everyone has where they doubt their abilities, I feel altogether confident we can handle this third installment quite well. I think as long as you think about humans as a species, how our bodies are designed and how they function, that we have evolved to be ready for parenthood young. Our species is finding it more and more difficult to conceive as we age, and we struggle to stay together as family units - yet we all have the capacity to breed and raise children early, and I believe it is just another way to push yourself, and learn amazing things about our species and life first hand. The world may have changed since my parents generation, where people had babies just out of school - we've had liberation of peoples, realisation of new ideals and new understandings of the shortness of life, the inevitability of death, and the importance to not waste a second. Many of my generation believe that means seeing everything you need to see before settling down and waiting to die. I believe that experience can be found in every step of life, every drudging day of existence, every struggle you have and moment of delight, joy, wonder and amazement. Everything teaches you something and if you cannot find the value in this moment here, then no moment will be good enough. Every moment I spend teaching my child something, teaches me something in return. It's all about perspective.... but then everything is, isn't it?
