Although it’s still the month of November, I feel that it’s Christmas time already. Thankfully, I’m done with the general cleaning last Sunday, so I already bring out the Christmas tree. My third child helps me assemble it since she too loves this season. But, we realize our ornaments can use a lot of update. They are old enough to be tossed and changed. For that matter the tree is still empty in terms of decorations.

I end up sitting in front of the computer looking at the different Christmas ornaments of Personal Creations. I love the colors of their decorations and wondered who might be behind it. Then, I find myself at personal creations linkedin page. At least now I know who are behind their brilliant product ideas. But, I’m more interested in buying the ornaments to liven my Christmas tree. The only difference now, I can decorate my tree with personalized Christmas ornaments that are customized with engraving, clay handprints, photographs, family characters drawings & more. I feel this would be very fun.

At last, I’m done doing general cleaning of the house. I decided to do it early so I can start putting the Christmas decorations. My third child is really excited and she continually bugs me to assemble the tree. But, it’s a good thing I do it because I was able to toss away the worthless stuff. One of the things I wanted to throw is the plastic drawers because it’s already dilapidated and broken.

My aim now is to buy the 6 drawer log chest. For sure this rustic furniture is really sturdy and will last for a long time. It is made from hand draw knifed White Pine. The top drawers have an aromatic red cedar lining for the bottom of the drawers and all the drawers in the 6 drawer chest have solid aspen boxes with dovetail construction and side mounted, epoxy coated, 3/4 extension roller slides rated for 100 lbs. It really looks attractive and fits perfectly well in our room. I hope to purchase it before the end of the year.

I’ve heard my son-in-law will soon start working as a nurse. The news really makes me happy even though he is still processing his license. His future is much brighter with that as well as my daughter. That being said, I should help him find new nursing scrubs. He tossed away all his older scrubs and left the newer one here. Shipping the ones he left is very inconvenient, costly and time-consuming. Buying newer ones and shipping directly to him is the best choice.

Since he is new to the place, I’m confident he is concerned where to buy those scrubs. It’s difficult to search a huge place like UAE so it’s much better to do online shopping. Plus, they are somewhat busy so help is much appreciated. Good thing I have spare time in my hands. However, before I can proceed, I still need to know his size. I’m just worried when I will be able to spot my daughter to ask for that information.

Simple body-care tasks such as brushing teeth, combing hair, eating healthy food and bathing are important skills for children to learn. Many are resistant to caring for their own bodies, however, because it takes away from playtime and other fun activities. To encourage your child to take care of her body, it’s important to make body care fun and easy, in addition to explaining its importance, according to pediatrician Dr. William Sears.

Basic body care doesn’t have to be a boring, monotonous task that takes children away from fun activities. Parents should make body care fun and interesting. Provide your child with a brightly colored toothbrush and try putting food coloring in water to encourage her to drink it. Children often master a task most quickly when they’re rewarded for trying, the authors of the book “Child Psychology” write. Try instituting a star chart system. For every day that your child completes basic tasks such as brushing her teeth, drinking water and choosing healthy snacks, give her a gold star to place on her chart. When the chart is full, reward her with a special toy or outing.

Toddlers should begin learning about the importance of washing their hands and brushing their teeth as soon as they can talk. Children at this age love doing things for themselves, so encourage your child to brush his own teeth and wash his own hands with supervision. Preschoolers can help you pick snacks and foods. Give them choices of two or three healthy items. School-aged children can begin choosing their own foods. Reward them for healthy choices. Encourage children to move, run and play and help them understand the important role exercise plays in health. (more…)

Trick or treat! Happy Halloween everyone! Have you gone to the cemetery to pay respect to those who already left this world? Well, my husband and I already do that. I’m also done preparing meals for our little get together. Now, there’s nothing more to do except getting some rest, eat and probably visit some online friend or surf the web.

However, after some deep thought, I realize it would be better to surf the web besides it is still early to retire for the day. I’m also still full so eating another meal would be a sin and my online friends are probably out to celebrate the day.
