postheadericon Love and Care for Others


It is our duty to God that we take care of ourselves. However, we should never overdo it. The parents’ duty is not limited to coaching children to love and care for others. Even more important is teaching them to be humane, to be sensitive to others’ feeling and to respect the dignity of each individual.

 Encouraging children to share their toys is a golden opportunity to plant the seed of sharing. Seeing adults giving away old clothes and toys, children learn to be generous to the less fortunate. During dinner time, in cases where family cannot dine together, parents can teach sharing by getting aside food for the late-eaters.

At a young age, children should learn to get along with siblings and friends. During their teens they should be encouraged to join school clubs and civic groups. These provide the children opportunities for learning to cooperate and to coordinate with others.

postheadericon Why Family Bonding is Needed?


Nowadays, mostly both parents are working in order to live comfortable, to sustain the needs of the family and in order to send their children to a good school. However, there are some disadvantages of over-delegating task to the caregiver or to the school,  to watch out their children's manner and to care with them at home is not an obligation of the caregiver anymore (unless if one of the parents is the caregiver as as well -- or she's the one taking care of the child, mostly a mom which is often called as stay-at-home-mom) but it is the the parents obligation! On the other side, if you're delegating (should I say, over-delegating) your task to other person (or the caregiver), the effect to the children on that case is that they are more comfortable with their nanny(ies) than to the their parents, the worst case is that the child won’t go anymore with their mom and dad but they want more to be accompanied with their nannies. That’s why even once a week you must have time with your family, family bonding is needed, in order for your children to feel that you are not too far from them.

A thought of family bonding is up to you couples. You can make your very own bonding on your very own ways that both of you will be satisfied in all ways.

postheadericon Monitor Mounts


There are so many different types of monitor mounts available these days that it can be difficult to keep up with everything that is currently available on the market. You can shop monitor mounts at StandsandMounts.com, but you are probably going to be overwhelmed by all of the different options if you do not take some time to do your research before you visit their website. There are a large number of different monitor mounts available these days, and you need to know the difference between these different types of mounts before you can decide which one is the best option for your situation. If you work in an office, then you may want to look into the idea of getting a mount for the side of your current monitor.

When you have a mount on the side of one monitor, you can easily attach it to another monitor and give yourself the perfect two-screen display. This is the perfect setup for a lot of people, but some people simply do not need two screens to look at while they are working all day long. A solid option to look at if you are trying to find a spot in your kitchen for a monitor is a corner mount. This type of mount will allow you to mount the monitor in the corner of any room, and you will even be able to attach a swivel to it if you would like to be able to move it from side to side.

postheadericon Young Moms


Just thinking of making this post just in my own views about those young moms.

No wonder there are lots of young moms, those teenagers got married to their young age. And to took children in early time, which they did not enjoy their teenage life, they thought to be a mom is an easy job, but they are wrong.

I can tell that to be a mom is not easy, it is really difficult to be a young mom. I have friends who can tell how it is to be. Young moms, is now very common. Girls in their younger age dared to be a mom. That is scary, they just do not realize the real role of being a mother. So teens out there, careful and take time on your singleness do not run into marriage if you are not ready and settled enough. I can tell you, marriage as well as being a real mom, is not easy!

Manufacturers of shoes, athletic clothing, supplements and sports equipment are generally experiencing larger sales and growth than experienced in years' past.

postheadericon Don’t Criticize


I think I am lucky that I am surrounded with supportive friends. Also, I have learned so many things when I was still in my birth country on how to raise a child. They say, don’t criticize your child’s works. If you are standing over your child and passing judgment on the results of what they do, they are not going to feel comfortable with their creativity. Children will eventually develop the ability to evaluate their own work and others work. Let them feel relaxed and free to use arts and crafts as they see it. When a child is given an environment that makes her feel free to be creative, they are going to open up their imagination and produce the best results. I  believe, there is no wrong way to draw a house, color a tree or play with a toy. For example, if your child colors the leaves blue, and the sky green, don’t tell her it is wrong. Let her explore her toys in different ways, like squeezing, shaking, hitting, even if they are not meant to be played in such a way. Give the child the freedom to express her creative ideas the way she sees it.

I have that in mind and I have to let myself remind that over and over again. :-)

postheadericon Temper Tantrums are Unhealthy?


Wrong. Not only are temper tantrums normal, but also they serve a healthy purpose. For young children with limited language skills, these bursts are often the only way to communicate their needs. In addition, temper tantrums provide our child with a much-needed outlet to vent their strong emotions of anger and frustration.

According to experts or pediatricians, for most parents, parenting knowledge comes from two main sources: how they were raised and common knowledge gleaned from media and the advice of other well-meaning people. Some of this information will be useful, but at times, it may be based on outmoded views, different beliefs, and even faulty research. Not all of what we have heard about temper tantrums may be true, and not all of it applies to you and your family. Temper tantrums are not bad, and neither are the children who have them.

Temper tantrums are not planned events. With rare exception, our child does not set out to willfully misbehave when she has a temper tantrum. If we help our child acquire self-control as she learns appropriate ways to express her strong emotions, you should expect her to become a happy and well-adjusted teen and adult.

postheadericon Cute Nursing Pillow for Babies

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Comfort and Harmony for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Being a parent, we are expected to know intuitively what is best for our child. It is true; there is no one in the world who will know your child’s needs better than you do. Aside from the food that we gave to them, we also make sure that our child is in a safe, and so, healthy environment is one or the most important way to ease our mind.
By the way, I have found a while ago a very cute nursing pillow for babies. It has a unique shape purposely designed for babies to ensure that the baby is comfortable when sleeping or lounging. The soft side is very comfy for babies, while the firm side will give extra support for mommy and her nursing baby. The mombo nursing pillow comes in different colors and designs that suit to our baby’s gender. And this is the only nursing pillow that has a vibrant feature to ensure that the baby will have a great calming, restful, gentle experience while relaxing.
Honestly, I liked buying this mombo pillow for my little princess. Since, pink is my favorite color for her, I would like to shop the pink Comfort & Harmony mombo in Butterfly Whispers Deluxe Nursing Pillow. By the way, you can find this product at Toys R Us (and Babies R Us). If you have babies, toddlers at home, you might want to check out the other mombo products available and start shopping for your kid’s stuff.

postheadericon What spring Brings


I am really a spring woman. I love spring time, the weather the environment and of course it is not that cold nor that hot. Perfect for going outdoor with my little Sarah. Good to go in the park and enjoy the weather all day long. I love to notice every time all trees and flowers start to bloom. I can really imagine the creation of God. He is truly amazing in all ways.

But for some, they cannot appreciate spring because it brings problem to them! Some are allergic of pollen from the trees. This is not fun at all. I felt so sorry as they cannot enjoy the spring time. Another thing, during spring that I can now wear light clothes and can do a little fashion with it.

Time to use all my spring/summer clothes. So spring is here now, time to start my rounds. So let us enjoy folks the spring time. Cheers!

postheadericon The New Place


(This guest post from Werner Rogers)

I love our new house! I don’t mean I like it, I really, really, really LOVE it! I was scared to make a purchase this big because my husband and I have been saving for a long time but now that we’re finally homeowners I can say that I’m really excited to be in a new place. I loved our old condo but when the baby was born it was really just too small for the three of us and though its location in the center of town was fun it wasn’t exactly family friendly. Anyway, we’ve been really lucky with this old house so far – I went to http://www.electriccompaniestexas.net to get our utilities all squared away, no problem, and I spent a lot of time researching historical fixtures and wood treatments, all of which made this place look better than ever. It’s been a labor of love but over the last few months we’ve really turned this house into a home we’re proud of and that’s more than I can say for some other people in our position! Now that we’re expecting our second child I’m so thankful we’ve got more square footage and (finally) a yard where the kids can play! I loved being in that townhome but now that we’re in a single family I really wonder how I got through so many years without all this space. My husband has been endlessly supportive and though I think he would have preferred something a bit newer and less work I know he settled on this place because I loved the character so. He’s always thinking about what will make me happiest and I would say that’s the mark of an amazing spouse! My husband is the nicest man in the world and now I can say he’s a co-signer with me on a loan – that makes me feel more married than anything else we’ve ever done, including starting our own little family!

postheadericon Child’s Shoes


Parents or mothers will do what they want for their kids, but I was told not to spend a lot of money for my child’s shoes. Their feet just grow too quickly. Hand-me-down shoes make sense within a family, but you are probably not going to be happy about buying second-hand shoes for your child. We are not rich, but I would rather like to buy brand new shoes for my daughter than buying second-hand shoes, though she has also such. Hand-me-down is fine with me, as long as I know the previous owner of the shoes. Other second-hand stuffs, on the other hand, are sometimes not safe for your child’s health. Lice or other insects could easily hide inside it. And for sure, you will not check every part of it when you shop or maybe you forgot most of the times. Even if there are stuff cleaning products in the market, it is still better to buy a new one for your child or children (though I could also not blame those who likes to have it since I also does it sometimes). Anyway, happy shopping everyone! Enjoy! :)
