Sharing is very necessary in this world, unfortunately, for a child, this concept might be a little too difficult to grasp right away. Last week, I made it a point to try and acquaint my children with how to share. I don’t have a problem with my ten year old, Michael, but Melinda and Kyle, [...]
Most women think that men should never babysit. In fact, even if women might want to be able to relax and be free from the hassles of taking care of a child even for just a couple of hours, there is no denying the fact that women get a cold sweat when they think about [...]
Chandra, one of my neighbors have always discouraged eating in bed. But somehow she admits that she fails to follow through this with her kids, a set of twin boys of three and a half years old. So, she is left with cleaning all of the mess since the children aren’t old enough to laundry [...]
When I first read this concept in a blog, I immediately thought, “How can that be?” Mothers or parents in general, are supposed to love their children, how can they end up bullying them instead? When I read on, I realized that in certain cases, mothers particularly do sometimes bully their own child, whether they [...]
We’re getting our princes this Time To Read Revolving Bookcase for the bedroom. She is currently developing this good habit of reading before bedtime and she has been quite keen on getting many books for herself whenever we are at the mall. We are trying our best to encourage that. Kids could very easily lose interest [...]
My husband and I are proud to say that we work really well as a team. I like the fact that I can talk to him about stuff that we need to do and that he’s always willing to go ahead and take his share of it. He never hesitates to offer help around the [...]
Recently, I received a phone call bearing some bad news about my friend. Her mother told me that she’s been diagnosed with cervical cancer. I was in total shock when I heard this. It was only three months ago that I presented her a wild animals toddler bedset, for when they were going to have [...]
Growing up in a family where the parents are getting through a rough divorce, my nephew couldn’t get his focus right most of the time. He isn’t a slow learner, I’d like to believe. He is, in fact, easy to talk to and could get instructions right away. But his school work is often neglected [...]
With the rescue efforts in Haiti still going on until now, it’s hard to just sit around and watch everything without doing at least a bit of help. Apart from donating money, our local community is trying to organize a drive that can help collect any extra clothing for the people that were affected by [...]
With three kids to raise, two of them still in their grade school age, the stress level is definitely very high. It’s a good thing I have my eldest to help me with the two younger kids at times, especially with my husband on business travels. But when the eldest is at school or is [...]
Every so often we hear of news about how a babysitter or a nanny has abused a child. It may be physical abuse, emotional, verbal or sometimes sexual. As a mother, there is no doubt that these things bother me and every single time I hear something like this, I’m always overcome with anger and [...]
If there’s one thing I’ve always tried getting my kids to stop doing, it’s to constantly ask me for snacks. I know that it’s tough to not snack at least twice a day. I find it hard myself especially when I was younger since my mom was constantly doing her thing in the kitchen and [...]
I have a nephew that is so used to staying up late at night playing with his toys or messing up his musical bench seat with storage. His mother isn’t so particular with keeping a rigid sleep hour. That’s why the kid sometimes sleep at two in the morning. The crazy thing is he would [...]
Being a mother sometimes means you need to become superwoman at certain times of the day. It can be overly hectic to try and juggle, what seems like one million things at the same time. From getting deadlines done, to making sure your kids answer their homework properly, to cooking and preparing meals. Hence, I’m [...]
The family dynamics have already changed in the new millennium. Raising kids is no longer black and white. Today, it is as colorful as owning a flowerland plush pillow. The child’s parents can either be adoptive ones, of a different color or race or culture. They can also be of the same sex — with [...]
Even though it might be a tough decision to face, homeschooling a child is not such a bad idea. If you think that your child would benefit more from being taught at home as opposed to getting taught in a school, then you should look into homeschooling options. My friend recently made a decision to [...]
Toilet training my three year old nephew is becoming a lot easier because his parents got him this really cute His Majesty’s Throne potty. He now enjoys seating on it even if he isn’t about to go. It’s probably because the chair looks very fancy. Potty training toddlers may sound like a difficult thing to [...]
Most of the time, women are bent in not getting pregnant, however, when they are ready to start a family, it can mean so much if they can distinguish signs that they are ready to get pregnant. For instance, when I had Michael, my first child, I didn’t even know I was pregnant until after [...]
For months on end, my kids have been bugging my husband and I about getting a pet. Although we came close to getting one over the holidays, luckily, the kids attention was diverted because of the festivities of the season. Besides that, we altogether decided against it at that time, when we were able to [...]
I was just over a friend’s house the other day and noticed this really cute Circus Entertainment Center at the kids’ room. I complimented on how lovely it made the room. It looks very homey and seemed like a really fun place to be. She told me that they actually got the entertainment center for [...]
Recently, I have been on the hunt for new shoes to give away to my sister’s son as well as maybe get some for my children. Although they get new shoes every now and then, it often doesn’t last and most of them end up in the trash after six months or so. I guess [...]
Little girls grow up really fast these days, that pretty soon, you may find your daughter getting rid of her giddy up twin quilt with pillow sham, for a more fun, pop and chic style. With a growing daughter myself, I truly would like to savor these moments and let the little girl be the [...]
Sometimes, it’s already difficult to balance time with children. Especially when one asks your for help on a class project, the other one wants you to play with her and her new princess vanity table & chair set, and the other one simply wants you to read him a book; and what’s worse is that [...]
I’ve got a huge cleaning day scheduled. I’m targeting all the beddings and mattresses for cleaning this week. Especially that of my son’s Alpha Bravo Charlie Twin Quilt with Sham, which unfortunately, had been soiled with juice and milk as well as some other stuff, owing to the fact that my boy still has bed [...]
It’s difficult to think about what all the parents are going through in Haiti right now. I know that I wouldn’t have lasted very long knowing and seeing my children suffer in front of me. When Melinda fell off her kiddie-ups princess rocking horse one time and suffered a fractured finger, I couldn’t stand the [...]
