postheadericon Emerald As The Official Color Of 2013


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

postheadericon Toilet Training And Its Influence To Children


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.

postheadericon A Brief Guide to Oriental Style Cooking


(This is a guest post)

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.
