    I do believe all kids have their own talents and it is our role as their parents to help nurture it. Of course, there are some kids who may be a bit more challenging than the others so parents need to be more focused and patient dealing with kids like that.

    • I think let the children follow their birth trends to be a good members of society and thus they make their future bright and become creative future generation. Those who do not follow birth trends may not be good citizen of any country that become rebellious. Give proper attention to the children the child may grow a civilized citizen useful for coming generation.

      Tracking children talent is most important thing checking their birth trend keep them in that trends that be according to their trends. JH Sayyar

    • The main thing with taking care of young children is to get them into a routine. Especially, if you have more than one youngster that you’re taking care of. It encourages discipline and you have less behavioral problems with them. { It works with most kids. Every once in a while you may give birth a “defiant one”. In that case, you pray extra! 🙂 } This is what I learned watching my husband. At one point, I was working outside the home and he was a stay-at-home dad, working part-time jobs and pursuing his college degree. He needed to have his own time. He had our little ones into a regular schedule:

      ~ a run around and play time (indoors or outdoors),
      ~ a sit down play time,
      ~ a sit down and learn time (art, reading, writing, watch educational TV shows, etc.),
      ~ a do some household chores time (pick up toys, be Daddy’s helper, etc.),
      and, of course,
      ~ a lay down and take a nap time! 🙂

      He also taught them to take care of each other. 🙂

      Aaahh yes! Those were good old days! Sweet memories. 🙂 My oldest is almost 40 now!

      • Wow, that’s amazing and I think you will just look back fondly on those memories.

Probably not in the best way possible as he still relies on me for a lot of things but I just let it be since he is the only one we have for now anyway 🙂

    • There are many ways that we can use to make our children busy but we have to be very careful in terms of selection.Now a days media advanced we have computers,laptops,different games even on television so many channels for the mind development of children.I feel it is the duty of parents to guide their child to the right direction.create different sort of interest so the child enjoy and learn at the same time.

      • I try to limit my son’s exposure to tablet, mobile phones, and TV – it is hard not to let them have it since we are bombarded with all these things anyway. But I do encourage him to do natural play so I only allow him to use any of these for only about 30 minutes to 1 hour per day. There are some days when he might watch a little bit beyond that but knowing the limit and having set a personal timer for him works in most days.

    cessy08 wrote a new post, Beef Strips congee recipe 8 years, 1 month ago

    It is time to take the soup and congee cookbook out of storage now that the colder nights are here. While I am not a big fan of soups since I get hungry immediately after dinner, I also don’t deny that tucking in […]

    • Congee is nothing more than a simple rice porridge, but man can it be comforting! It’s an Asian breakfast staple, a dim sum classic, and a blank canvas to add your own flavors. Traditionally white rice is used, but sometimes I like to use brown rice for a heartier, healthier porridge with a subtle nutty flavor. Heartier vegetables such as kale, escarole, shiitakes, leeks, and even Brussels sprouts are perfect in it. One of my favorite combos is this recipe: marinated strips of beef, dried shiitake mushrooms, and garlic chips.

      Why this recipe works:

      Adjusting the ratio of water typically used for a more traditional white rice congee produces a brown rice congee that’s just as creamy and silky.
      Soaked shiitakes, garlic chips, garlic oil, and beef add layers of flavor to make a hearty, comforting dinner or breakfast.

      or the Beef: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cornstarch, soy sauce, oil, salt, and sugar. Mix well and set aside in the refrigerator.

      2.
      For the Garlic Chips: Peel and thinly slice the cloves from a whole head of garlic. Add slices of garlic in a saucepan with olive oil. Turn the flame to medium low and slowly fry the garlic until pale golden brown. Stir the garlic every few minutes, checking to make sure they are not burning.

      This should take about 15 minutes. When the garlic is done, drain through a fine mesh strainer set in a bowl. Transfer garlic to a small bowl and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix and set aside. Reserve the garlic oil.

    • This is one of my favorite recipe of beef strips that I must add to your recipe. It is somewhat simiar, though there are some differences.
      A great tasting and savory beef strips dish that you can cook any time. This dish is so easy the ingredients in cooking this dish is usually available in you kitchen pantry and your refrigerator. You only need the fry the beef first to enhance the flavor then saute some aromatics like garlic and onion. After that put some water, tomato sauce, vinegar, horse raddish, mustard, salt and pepper then simmer until the beef is tender. One interesting ingredient in this dish is the horse radish that makes this a spicy beef. Usually a lot of chilies or peppers are used to make a dish spicy. But the spiciness of this dish comes from the horse radish. If you wonder what is a horse radish and what it taste like, if you have tasted wasabi paste, then that’s it! it taste like wasabi. Actually horse radish is usually substituted to wasabi plant when making wasabi paste for sushi because wasabi are very expensive.

      By the way, you can also use pork steak instead of beef if there is none available or you don’t find beef appetizing. Also, beef is tougher than pork so it will depend on you which meat you want to cook in this dish.

    • I have never redeemed at this site and did not know you have to ask for redemption. At another site when you reach pay out you get paid. It’s automatic. I must remember that. Although I have not reached pay out yet. Good to know.

      • You need not wait till the end of the month but redeem when you reach the minimum of 10 dollars. They will however pay you on the 10th or later of the following month. You can even collect dollars and postpone redemption.

    • These are minor pin pricks but they have paid everyone. I got paid four times.

      • Yeah, that’s why I usually wait a couple more days for the site Admin to work on it or if I can’t wait any longer – send them a direct message.

    • Hey, how fast does it take for you people to reach the minimum payout?

    • LB is one of the best sites that pays regularly and honestly I have read in many posts that a few cents are paid for the post of 300 words I think in three hundred words no body can explain the real issue in simple language with strong arguments that is the writers are supposed to write the blog post of 700 to 1000 words.

      Writing entertaining, interesting blog posts can generate cash for you through ads, affiliate links and other revenue options. Your blogging success will depend on your writing talent, whether your blog covers a popular subject and the popularity of the links you include (whether backlinks or pay-per-click links, like Google AdWords).

      Who doesn’t want to earn more money? Whether it’s through part-time jobs or freelance work, adding more dollars to your cash flow every month is always nice. But unfortunately, not everyone has the time to pick up another job or do additional work on the side. If that’s the case for you, don’t give up. Instead, turn to the one thing you probably spend a majority of your time on: the internet.

    • Great to see you getting paid regularly. I hope that this site continues to pay regularly.

    • Mmmhh am just trying to imagine what it tastes like. If I may ask is it the actual skin from fish or is something else added. Am imagining it must be crunchy like crisps if am not wrong and maybe it’s deep fried? I would like to know how they are made from scratch maybe that way I will have an idea about what everyone is on about fish skin. Otherwise I know how it feels when you are away from home and you get to see posts of good that you love back at home and can’t have it, it’s not a very good feeling but at least you got to sample and you loved it lucky you.

    • I have never had something like this before. It looks delicious by the looks of it, and also by the description of it that you have clearly elaborated here in your blog post. I might have tried this thing as well as I am open to experimenting but I don’t know if it will be available in the local market where I live. I have had fish chips before and that’s very delicious too. Can’t seem to compare the two as I haven’t tasted this yet.

    • A sky blue color (sheer) nail lacquer with multi-coloured flakes of confetti-style glitter. A flashback to the 2010 Grammy Awards and Pink’s magical performance of her hit song of the same name.

      Size: Tester & Salon

      Features & Benefits:
      Infused with treatment benefits to keep your nails happy and healthy
      Dries fast, lasts long and applies evenly
      Free of formaldehyde, toluene and dibutyl phthalates
      Slightly thicker consistency and densely packed brush bristles

      oluene is a commonly used solvent that creates a smooth finish across the nail and keeps the pigment – the colour – from separating in the bottle.
      But it can affect the central nervous system and cause reproductive harm.
      Its major use is as an additive in gasoline.
      Formaldehyde, a known carcinogen, is used as a nail-hardening agent and disinfectant for nail care tools.
      Exposure to dibutyl phthalate, added to polishes to provide flexibility, has been linked to reproductive problems.

      In addition to this trio, there are many other harmful chemicals used in nail care products.
      Many nail salons lack adequate ventilation and there aren’t very many ways that air inside the salon can escape outside, and vice versa.
      This means chemicals evaporated from nail products are often trapped inside salons – and workers are continuously exposed.

      So workers’ exposure is amplified: First they experience direct contact with the chemicals in the products, then they continuously breathe in these chemicals within small, poorly ventilated salons

    I am super excited about this review. This bottle of nail polish was part of the nail polish haul I bought from Amazon during the first quarter of the year. But since spring/summer started at the time, I had to […]

    • I’ve never really been a fan of the look of magentic nail polishes, but when I saw that Essie made one that looked like snakeskin, I had to try it. To be completely honest, I found the results a bit disappointing, which was surprising because I am such a huge fan of Essie products.

      For example, the magnetic effect only worked on a small part of the nail (the middle), and the polish dried so quickly that some of my nails didn’t work at all. I tried doing half of a nail at a time, but that just resulted in a weird design rather than the snake print.
      Before my final try at achieving the snake design, I scoured the internet for tips, but there was surprisingly little help online. So, I set out to figure out the best way to apply the polish/magnet to get the desired effect.

      I ended up painting my nails three different times with two separate colors. By the third try, I picked up a few tips and tricks, so hopefully you’ll find these helpful if you want to try out the snake effect polish.

    • Nail art has become very popular nowadays and many women and girls consider already tried or consider having it done. From trendsetters to celebrities many seem sporting fingernail art. It can be an intricate embellished nail or a cool graphic pattern to match the outfit. Having healthy, beautiful and trendy nails can bring more self confidence and can be an ego boost for any woman. There are a great variety of nail art patterns to choose from. If you didn’t try nail art yet then let’s analyze together some advantages and disadvantages of this fashionable trend in nail polish.

      Nail art Advantages

      Nail art offers a great variety of palette colors and you can choose your favorites to raise your mood, to match your lifestyle, your personality and your outfit. A multicolor nail art can cheer you up at any moment.
      If you are bored of neutral colored nail polish, then a bold graphic or a colored patterned nail art adds some fun.
      Nail art is easy to be done.
      Focusing on yourself and taking time out from the world can have a therapeutic effect. Setting time aside to work on your nail art is soothing and relaxing. You will also get an ego boost feeling from wearing an impressive nail art pattern.
      Nail art gives you an inexpensive way to wear some designer labels.
      If you need some creative outlet with your day to day looks, then bold makeup looks are not always a good option. Your nails are perfect canvas and the nail art can be a more convenient way of wearing something creative.
      Nail art is fashionable and everyone else seems to wear it. If you want to look cool in a fast and easy way than you just have some nail art done to get yourself on the trend.
      Nail art Disadvantages

      Some nail art polish can take a long drying time.
      Your nail polish may contain too many chemicals and those bright colors may have a bad effect on the nails.
      It’s not easy to keep the nail polish from getting on your cuticles.
      Polishing your nails perfectly with a complicated nail art pattern may get some time. Not every woman has the patience to wait calm and without rushing until her manicure is done. Spending hours with nail art isn’t an option for most of the women because it’s difficult to fit their busy schedule.
      The fact that everyone else seems to wear nail art is a double edged sword. On one side, if you choose to wear nail art you’ll keep with the trend, on the other side your nail art might get lost in a pool of pretty similar patterns. Try to be as creative as possible when you choose your nail art.
      Nail art is hard to perfect and if you have perfectionist tendency it might disappoint you. The slightest crack or smudge can ruin your manicure.
      When you get into nail art, nail care becomes even more important. Because your nails are the canvas for your pieces of art you need to spend more time and pay more attention to your nail care.
