Bringing children to parks and playgrounds is a good form of exercise to let them stretch their muscles and at the same time have fun running and playing.  Playing outdoors holds many surprises for our young explorers.  Unfortunately, there are times that due to strong winds and dust, a foreign matter gets into our little one’s eyes. When this happens do not panic, instead tend to your kid at once so he will not rub his eyes which may cause a serious eye injury. When going outdoors with your kids, make sure to bring with you their extra clothes, clean towel, water to drink, food and most especially an alcohol or a hand sanitizer. What to do if a foreign matter gets into your kids eye? Wash your hands thoroughly or put on alcohol on your hands before attempting to examine your child’s eye. Tell your kid not to rub his eyes, it is much better if he cries so the irritant will be washed away by tears. Do not touch or blow into the eye to dislodge the irritant, doing so will risk scratch

A Halloween Party and Trick or Treat is yearly marked in the school calendar, where my youngest son studies.  Everyone is in high spirits, cheerful and jolly. Parents alike were so excited to see their children in Halloween costumes. This year, Yahmir participated in the parade of costumes.  He wore “The Reaper” guise and happily joined the fanfare. Yahmir, the Reaper Yahmir with his friends Jino in J5 costume and Charles the Monster  Every classroom is beautifully decorated with lots of halloween decorations and eerie designs of mietwagen .  Some wore creepy costumes too.

In the recent oil price increase trending to be weekly, it is not surprising that people will think twice in buying a new vehicle. We need to take into consideration of its primal usage, is it really a need or just a luxury? Oil plays a very important role in running a country’s economy and not only on a family’s budget. Economic recession causes slowdown in economic activity which results to rising unemployment rate, high priced commodities, and bankruptcies.  Using alternative oil sources like bio fuel, made of biological products and bakken oil shale , oil coming from a sedimentary rock unit could help the government in the reduction of oil imports. If we could produce additional oil, it will generally help in the increasing oil demand in the country. Production on our own will mean more people will be employed, more money to improve the nation’s economy.  Having a family vehicle is really very convenient, as we can hold and budget our own time in terms of traveling. We could mak

This is a guest post from Heather Von St James, a committed mother and wife, a survivor of the deadly disease Mesothelioma. On August 4, 2005, my husband and I welcomed our daughter into the world. After an uncomplicated pregnancy, she arrived to a village of supporters as our family and friends surrounded us with best wishes. At the time, I co-owned a successful salon with multiple stores and employees. Several weeks after my daughter’s birth, I learned I would be transferred to another location with a lighter workload. I did not want to move salons and did not anticipate being away from my new child. I soon began experiencing physical changes typical to new moms. I felt tired and breathless with no energy most days. I also lost an average of six pounds every week, which is not normal. My doctor analyzed blood work and a chest x-ray before diagnosing fluid on my left lung. After more tests, scans and biopsies, the doctor changed the diagnosis to malignant pleural me

You love me in good and bad time

Keeping the family clothes closet neat and clean is one of the things I manage to monitor in my home management.  I often tell my househelp to sort the wearing apparels properly before keeping them in the closets after each laundry schedule.  Classify them according to its usage. Fold and combine clothes of the same colors, separate the house clothes, pyjamas and nightwear from the school uniforms, office clothes, jackets and outdoor garments. I taught my children of wearing the proper attire fitted for every occasion, thus they are accustomed to changing their clothes into house clothing upon coming home from school, office or from an outdoor activity. They also have the habit of wearing their pajamas at night for a much comfortable slumber.  I bought my husband and kids three sets of sleeping apparels each, while I only have two sets which lately I noticed needs replacement.  Due to my busy schedules, I opted to buy them online as Deals Direct is one of my favorite browsing sit
