Pink Stuff

Slowly, our country is joining in on the Halloween trick or treat and encouraging the kids to do the same Halloween custom that other countries are accustomed to do. They can at least wear any fancy costumes. Some of the kids have a trick or treat on the different store in the mall to collect candies and chocolates. While others just went to the neighborhood.

The Halloween costume, the unstoppable supply of candies and other sweets, the magic tricks that gives away and amazement and of course the never ending scares and spooks that we give to each other is but really enjoyable this Halloween.

Did you know that a loaded handbag can one over your weigh as much as 10 pounds, so it’s no surprise that carrying one over your shoulder can cause neck and shoulder problems. So try to keep your bag as light as possible and alternate it into each shoulder regularly. Why not try to carry a small bag so you can swap back and forth from one hand to another when the other side gets tired.

It would be recommendable that you try to carry a smaller bag, because with a big one you tend to load it until it gets full and the most practical thing to go; make sure that you bring only the important things with you.

My ten year old daughter surfs the internet all by herself – she uses the computer at the living room. My husband installed a parental control in that computer to limit the amount of time of their playing in front of the computer. She was only allowed one hour for weekdays or school days. I also allowed my six year old daughter to surf the internet but usually she loves watching TV rather than playing computer games

The internet poses many dangers for our kids, as parents it’s our responsibility to be aware of what our children are up to on the web. They would be exposed to things that aren’t supposed to be viewed by them or even to be learned by them, such as cuss words that you sure wouldn’t bear hear coming from them at all.

Due to the motivation of living a healthier life, my hubby and I started a daily exercise regime four days ago. After dropping the kids in school, we jog, walk and go biking, sweating the toxin out our body while enjoying nature’s real beauty with its fresh early morning breeze. I find this exercise routine so much exciting and uplifting because we spend quality time with each other, thank goodness he came up with this regimen and now we want to do it by heart. We both live an active life and enjoy the same online job so we don’t happen to get much time for each other. So enjoying the nature and detoxifying together is something we both look forward to every morning. Meeting a lot of different and new faces everyday so engrossed with their exercise habits is one motivating thing not just for us both also to our jogging mates and partners. But what‘s more inspiring is seeing our old folks do some Tai-chi lessons or groove with their aerobic dancing class in the park.

When we think of children, we invariably think of them playing. Playing is what being a child is all about. Play keeps them happy and busy, and it is vital for mental, physical and social development. It is how they learn and discover the world.

Adult consider play to be fun. It is a time for recreation, stress relief, amusement and interacting with others. It is just something they might want to do to take a break from work.

But children are somewhat different. Play is children’s unique and natural way of learning. A child needs to learn in order to survive. Playing with other children teaches your child viral social skills, such as cooperation and empathy. Playing also enables your child to develop problem-solving and communication skills.

We are special and beautiful at our own ways, but we mothers just can’t help but think about our being vain at times that pushes us to further experiment things that promise to give out that radiant beauty that we’d die having for satisfying ourselves. We are always on that goal of getting things that are of fad and celebrities use, just for the thought or fantasy of us looking like them at best.

But it’s tough to know which of the beauty tips that you read and heard would be the one that would work or even “work” with you at all. And with the hearsays that some beauty tips even makes you look worse, it really is scary to try out the ones that you don’t even have a single clue on about it, especially when it wasn’t even shown in TV or written in articles or even prescribed by the fashion gurus that are well known.

When someone did something good to us maybe it be a big a small favor we always say ‘thank you’ no matter how simple the act is. But have you ever thanked your parents for giving you good life, for sending you to a good school and making sure you get only the best things in the world? Have you even appreciated their hard work and trying to let the ends meet? If you haven’t thanked them yet for all the wonderful things they’ve done for you, today is the perfect time to say thank you. Don’t wait for Parents’ Day to let them know they’re appreciated because we can make everyday a Parents’ Day.

Thanks to my mom and dad!

The most important concern for parents with infants is their safety due to their inability to express in a way that we could understand what they truly feel and when they are in trouble.

During this period, the child is very prone to injury with regards to the parenting skills, toys, and clothing. Infancy is when the child will either develop trust vs. mistrust according to Erickson’s Developmental Tasks. Lacking sufficient parenting skills could lead to improper feeding, failure to thrive, or could have an impact on their developmental delays. To prevent such to take place, here are some guidelines.

Infants should be regularly monitored for growth and development. There are charts that offer adequate information with the growth and development of a person. This can be obtained from a health clinic or in the hospital. This will determine if the child is growing in a normal phase or not, if the age, height, and weight are proportionate. The parents should be aware of their development so they will know if they should contact a physician.

Infant-Parent relationships should be assessed during feeding activities. The mother should be willing to feed her child unconditionally. She should be familiar on how to handle her baby when feeding.          

Activities. The parents should be able to manage their time very well to avoid stress. When the parents are stressed, the child could not be properly taken care of because the parents will only think of themselves and their own aspirations. Workload should be shared on both parents and assistance should be sought when they could not both handle the situation.

Toys and clothes should be selected properly. Toys and clothes with small parts that can easily be detached or not are not to be given to infants to avoid choking which could lead to death.

As a parent we always think and wanted our children to learn from us and adapt all the possible good traits you can think of. We often hear people say that their moms were their first and best teachers they ever have. But since I became a parent, I could say that my daughter is and will always be my best teacher.

Of course she does not teach me how to read and write but she taught me how to see things in different ways. When my baby wakes me up with her shrieking cry, I’ve got no choice but to attend to her no matter how tired I am. I am the most impatient person you would ever encounter by I realized how I’ve developed my patience over the course of time.

At every passing day that comes, we just can’t help but think about serving something for our husband and of course our little kids to love having handfuls of so they can have something to munch on while they’re doing their homework, playing around, killing time or just sitting in front of the TV watching their favorite TV series.

Of course that special something should be healthy and overall loveable that would make us mothers to be loved more by them and the thought that they’re satisfied about it puts a smile to our face that we’d be highly thankful about.
