It is totally different from the lucky colors of the year that you’ve been reading. The one being declared
here is from Pantone and it is going to be the official color, not necessarily the lucky color. It means that
shades of green or specifically Emerald would be the base color of the majority of things for the entire
year.
According to Pantone, green is the most abundant hue in nature and Emerald happens to brings a sense
of clarity, renewal and rejuvenation which is very much needed in our complex world right now.
The official color of the year may not always be the lucky color. For the latter, you need to read about
the latest Chinese prediction along with their astronomical analysis if you're fond. Some analysts have their own
choices of lucky colors while others don’t really believe in it as they think that success can only be
obtained through hard work.
My birth stone is emerald green, would this also mean that this mommy would also have a lucky and bountiful year? Ah ha! Hopefully. *wink* :D

Time will come that your kids will no longer wear diapers and need to learn how to use the toilet or the potty every time he or she wants to pee or poo. Toilet training is one of the most important skills that a parent should teach their children.
It isn’t just about hygiene but according to Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Development, toilet training is one of the ways to learn autonomy, control and knowing what is right and wrong. Through toilet training, a child learns to hold pee and poo until he or she reaches the potty or the toilet because it is the right thing to do.
Toilet training can be taught through role modeling with the help of the parents. If the child sees his or her parents using the toilet every time they pee or poo, most likely they will do the same. Do not also forget to reward your children every time they do it properly.

If you are looking for new ideas in the kitchen, try some new Asian recipes. Asian cooking has recently become very popular due to its health benefits and delicious flavors. Asian cuisine incorporates a variety of simple techniques, many of which do not involve a lot of added fats or oils. Chinese dishes often utilize the stir fry method, while seafood-heavy Japanese cuisine sometimes uses appliances like
fish roasters. Stir-fried dishes can also be found in Thai cuisine. Most Asian dishes are accompanied by bowls of healthy, fat-free rice.
The
stir style fry technique can be used with a wok or a sauté pan. Turn your heat source on high, add a little bit of canola oil and toss in some uniformly cut vegetables and pieces of meat or poultry. Season well with salt, pepper and soy sauce. Serve with a bowl of rice. This simple dish is found in many Chinese restaurants. As for stir versus deep fry, there is no question which one is healthier; stir fry is definitely superior. Only the surface of the food comes into contact with the fat, while deep frying submerges the entire piece of food.
To make a perfect Japanese-style whole fish, you should first gut, clean and salt it. Then, simply roast your bird. Turkey roasters are wonderful appliances to have, but they might be too big for a single trout or mackerel.
With its heady flavors and dearth of fat, Asian cuisine makes for a delicious dinner. Try out these suggestions and wow your guests with your cosmopolitan palate.
As a parent, you will be called upon constantly to adapt to new situations. I have learned that parenting requires reflection and self-awareness on your (or parents') part. That process begins as soon as you become a parent. Many of us don’t take time to examine our backgrounds to figure out what will be useful and what might be harmful to our children. I am a new mom, and admittedly, there were times that I don’t know what to do with my child when bad temper struck at her. Of course, as a mom, I need to find out what makes her mad. Fortunately, most of the time, the struggle to calm her down were settled well and easily. How do I do it? Thanks to my e-5 smartphone, she likes to press and press the small buttons on it. But, it must have to be locked, in that way though, even if the phone is lock, she can still manage to turn on the flash light feature of it, zooming the time, back-light on and stuffs. The most important thing, we, moms has to listen to our child of what she likes to have and not. Of course, we also has to say "NO" if its not good.
Every mom has their own experience on the first birthday of their child. Some have good memories, and unfortunately; some have not. But most moms as much as they could, wanted to have a memorable birthday celebration on the first birthday of their child most especially if it is their first one. Usually, it is the mother who has lots of ideas on making the 1st birthday party as the most joyful birthday celebration of their child.
Typically, if it is a child’s birthday, we usually have a theme. You can then find several beautiful and very eye-catching 1st birthday party decorations and supplies, great Disney Princesses designs and themes that are perfectly planned. Also one of the must-have is some kind of designed for boys like Sesame Street and Elmo desig and many more.
One of the stuffs that moms at look out is the prices, if it is reasonable enough. For most moms, 1st birthday is the most important event of a child’s life. Thus, if you have a child now that will celebrate his or her 1st birthday so soon, then look for the best place to shop for party theme, decorations and supplies. Good luck! :)
Time will come that your kids will no longer wear diapers and need to learn how to use the toilet or the potty every time he or she wants to pee or poo. Toilet training is one of the most important skills that a parent should teach their children.
It isn’t just about hygiene but according to Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Development, toilet training is one of the ways to learn autonomy, control and knowing what is right and wrong.

How I wish to experience this very soon, but then I have to wait on the proper time. Good luck to all you first-time moms (like me). :-))
It is not easy for most people to talk about death or anything associated with it. It is simply because that we are scared to die in an untimely manner. So, if the nature of your work is risky, like working on the road as a traffic enforcer, or you are a road worker, wearing a safety measure like a
safety vest is a must to avoid accident or injury while at work journey.
Companies that have risky works either public or private company, usually it is the company’s responsibility to provide safety gears such as safety vest, safety belt, safety glasses, head protection, and more to their workers. Cruising, boating, kayaking, and any other related water activities, wearing safety vest is also important even if you were a grand champion in a swimming competition.
Nobody could tell when an accident would be happened. It will just come without expectation. So, to avoid these unfavorable circumstances, you better safeguard yourself first before hitting the road. Wear an appropriate safety measure, and if you are looking for high-quality safety vests, head on over to your favorite store like Safety Gear Online which provide a variety of Safety Vests, Economy Vests, Surveyor Vests, Incident Command Vests, Public Safety Vests and more.
Saving is one of the ancient ways to survive. You’ll never know what will happen in the future and only those who have something left behind can surpass the challenge. In this fast paced world, the need to plan 5 steps ahead is a must. Learning how to save is tantamount to learning how to live.
As early as possible, children should learn how to save especially when it comes to money. Parents can teach them by buying their first piggy bank and encouraging them to place some coins in there every time they got one. Training them to save for whatever they want to want buy will develop their budgeting skills and would eventually learn getting something would always require effort and hard work.
This method of discipline wouldn’t be only applicable to saving money but to everything that they own. It is not about hoarding but keeping in mind that these things aren’t worthy to be placed on the trash because someday it will serve an important purpose.
Now, I can't wait to teach my 16 months old Sam. But I have to wait the time that she can comprehend what I am going to teach her. :)

It is not possible to care for your baby or your partner if you feel neglected, overstressed and overtired. The most important person in your baby’s life is you. Figuring out how to meet your baby’s needs take time, energy and love, but you also have to get your share of nurturing. For me, the hardest part of being a first-time mom was when I needed to wake up in the middle of the night for feedings. I am so glad that I have passed that stage.
I understand that a full night’s sleep is next to impossible during the first months of my baby’s life, which is why; I rest whenever I can. I tried to nap or relax when my baby naps. I make sure that I am eating well-balanced, nutritious foods to maintain my energy. I have healthy snacks of fruits, juices, nuts, cheese, and yogurt. After childbirth, getting my body back into shape is also impossible. It probably takes a few more months to lose that extra weight.
Chinese people, if not all, but most of them rely on Feng Shui. Feng Shui literally means “wind and water,” the elements that sustain life. Regardless of their school, geomancers invariably assert that feng shui is an exact study of the laws and process of nature. It is rooted in the belief that everything that exists has an energy field that can be harnessed to man’s advantage.
On the other hand, the non-Chinese's people, specifically Filipinos, some of us believe on
psychic reading. Some of them, before they could decide whatever plans they have, they first consult it to a person who claimed that they could foresee the future. However, there are also people who are curious about the people who have six senses. They wanted to try their credibility if they could really read or foresee their future.
The usual things that they wanted to know in the future are money, career, love life, their lucky numbers, their compatible partner in life, the suitable business for you, and more. I have not tried to go to a psychic reader, so I am not sure whether the psychic reader will also tell the bad luck that coming on your way.
Anyhow, for me, the only person who could tell and knows our future is the one sitting above. If you trust HIM, then you are in the right way. Trials will always come to our lives, and it is us and no one else will work for it, so we can overcome these trials, and prayers are the best weapon to conquer all the trials in life.
It is normal for today’s mom to be proud of whatever development their children are having. That’s why pictures of firsts like first-step, first-grip, and first-immunization-day photos can fill up their social networking accounts. There’s nothing bad about it but some parents would rather choose to keep their children’s profile offline for some very important reasons.
These parents decided to keep it because they don’t want to place their children’s information for possible cyber-bullying acts. It believed that what has been posted online can never be kept private even with the presence of privacy options. These parents would want to involve their children with this kind of activity online but would then let them decide when the right time comes.
When these children will know how to operate gadgets or with parental guidance would finally know how to have their online accounts but not social networking because basically it is not allowed when a child is below 18 years old as per Facebook Rules and Guidelines (by the way Facebook is the leading social networking site nowadays), when they're already 18, then that’s the time that could decide to share their photos online.
Most children would have come into contact with a cat and a dog from a fairly young age but horses are seen as a lot bigger and scarier and sometimes a child will not have had any interaction with a horse when they are young making it scarier for them as an older child or grown up. Horses are not as common a pet as a cat or a dog and the chances of knowing someone with a horse are not that high so it might involve a journey to a farm or local stables to ensure your child is familiar with a variety of animals. Equally, it is really important for a horse to feel secure around children. Some horses have a highly nervous disposition and will not like children or will be very nervy around them which is why it is also good for a horse to be used to children from a young age if possible.
When introducing a horse to a child it is important to be really careful. Ensure the child is aware of what is happening and follows basic rules such as to not put their hand up to a horse’s mouth and to only feed a horse from a flat hand under adult supervision. Do not let your child run about near the horse and never let them walk behind a horse in case the horse kicks their legs out and accidently strikes them.
Take your child to a horse that will be okay around children, don’t make a potentially dangerous situation worse by introducing them to a nervy and jumpy horse. Equally do not take a child that you know will react badly, might hit out at an animal or screech at them making them jump.
If you have a good horse and a good child then there is a lot you can do to make the situation fun. They can help with various tasks such as cleaning out the stable, grooming the horse and helping make up feeds. Children can follow instructions so would be able to make up feeds that include a few different types of horse food, horse supplements and if they are older they may be able to chop carrots to add to food. They key is make the situation fun and pleasant for both the horse and child and introduce them to each other at a young age so they grow up being familiar with them.
Bonding with your child happens for some at the moment of birth, but for others, it takes more time. Either way, it is a learning process for both parents as they begin to know and love their baby. Whoever is going to be mother and father to this baby needs to come to terms with their new role. If there has been a difficult birth, or complications, you will need extra outside support to get you back on your feet, so that you can get on with the job of caring for and loving your new baby.
Your newborn is programmed with instincts and reflexes that enable her to survive and grow and learn. Her newborn behavior is unpredictable, but there are baselines to look for as you get to know her. Touch and human contact are as essential to your baby as food, warmth and sleep. Her reactions to your handling her needs will guide you. If she gets what she needs, she will know the world is a good place.
It is very seldom that I join bidding in an auction site for it is frustrating if I didn't win. I am not sure if there is a technique to be able to win on bidding. I have never tried that I was the first one who bid the product. Sometimes, I tempted to bid first the product, but I want to use the maximum bid right away. I am not sure if someone outbids my initial offer which is the maximum bid, then the auction site will give the product to the one who outbids my offer. If that is the case, I am still the loser.
Anyway, a friend of mine told me that she likes to bid at the
DealDash auction site because you will never lose the game once you joined the bidding. I visited the site a while ago, and for me, it is cool. First, you need to sign up, and purchase bids for 60¢ each in packs of 100, so you can join the bidding. Next, choose the product you like and then place a bid. If you win, you will definitely get the product, but if you lose, buy the product and get back your bids for free. Isn’t it awesome? I have never tried it yet, but I am interested to join this auction site that I have visited earlier.
