8 Tips for Feeding Picky Eaters

There comes a stage in a toddler’s life when he becomes an incredibly picky eater. Our two-year-old SumoSam can be one, and he can surprisingly survive with just breastmilk, lots of juice and water, and rice in a day.  Yes, he prefers to eat rice without any viand.  And he knows when I secretly put even a tiny piece of beef under the rice.  He would hand over to me the meat as he continues to chew his rice.

Do you have picky eaters at home, too? Make their mealtime less of a struggle but more enjoyable and healthier with these fail-proof tips.  It’s never too late to start to develop better eating habits.

Creating mealtime memories

· 15 Comments

Time flies quickly. As every year passes, the months and days seem to be streaking by at warp speed. Imagine our Firstborn who can’t even complete a sentence at five-year-old is now a 17-yo honors high school student. His four other brothers are growing fast, too. And this unstoppable march of time turns our little ones into gentlemen with each day bringing discoveries, challenges, and growth. 

Creating mealtime memories

Since we can’t stop time from ticking, might as well make every moment count. And one helpful way to make memories is a feast around the dining table – something my boys can look back in 10 to 20 years and think fondly of the meals and stories we’ve shared.

Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind. Buddha

It’s true.  Peace of mind is something too aloof because we keep on hating others for their achievement while we forget or belittle our successes.  As it is human nature to compare ourselves with others, this act, however, makes us come up short.

Envy makes many of us wish for something that others else have. And the sad part is, we can’t seem to be truly happy for them. This leads us to hate these people.  But what we don’t realize is that this sensation is ruining our life.

I admit there were episodes in my life that I envy others of their achievements.  But as there are many ways to get stuck in a cycle of envy, there are also several ways to deal with bitterness and eventually lead us to true happiness.

It was still very clear in my head. The time between her breathing began to stretch out with many seconds. Her breathing pattern, too, became louder. It was still in the afternoon, and we were able to exchange a few thank yous and even reminisce happy memories. We were still waiting for her parents to arrive from Nueva Ecija, and she bravely hung on. And after everyone has come, she finally let go and die. It was past midnight. My cousin-in-law, whose body was overwhelmed with a disease that spread exceptionally, died of breast cancer.

How We Plan to Upgrade the Quality of Our Life

· 15 Comments

One morning when I went down from a good night’s sleep, I nearly slipped when I passed by the refrigerator. Our refrigerator leaked water as someone left its door open for an extended period. Must be our youngest kid since he loves to open and close the refrigerator door to look for food.

Upon cleaning our refrigerator and mopping the floor, I’ve realized that our trusted appliance has been with us for nearly 12 years.  We got it when my husband and I decided to live on our own.  And most of the set of furniture and appliance in our small house is about a decade old or more.  They are now showing wear and tear.  After all, this happens due to negligence, abuse, and for many years of use.

However, with three high school boys, a youngster about to enter school next year, and a toddler, buying a new set of appliance is far from happening in the next few years.  Good thing my mom opened a business hub two months ago and got me as her support system.  I religiously keep my salary for home improvement.  This mother plans to ditch some of their beyond repair furniture and appliance.  A new set of dining table or refrigerator, for instance, would undoubtedly boost my family’s morale and make the house a more enjoyable place to stay.

New Downy Powder Detergent Review

· 18 Comments

Before, my mother didn’t use her automatic washing machine for most of her clothes.  She only used it for her comforters and bedsheets.  She would always tell me that the constant spinning and heat of the laundry process damage clothes.  

We introduced to her the use of a fabric conditioner.  Good thing, she was convinced that fabric softener protects clothes from the damage of the wash. She bought the idea that fabcon smoothens and strengthens fiber to maintain the clothes’ shape.  And by smoothing the fibers, the fabcon reduces the friction between them. After all, it’s the friction that causes the fibers to break, leading to dull and faded looking clothes.
