meal planning for the work-at-home mom
May 7, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Okay, so you’ve worked hard to get your home office organized and you’ve developed some strong skills in parenting as well. You might be thinking you have it all covered at home since your pantry is organized immaculately and everything in your kitchen has its place. It doesn’t change the fact that you’re still busy working from home and driving kids to practice, running errands or taking care of your household in the evenings. Another thing you can learn to do to simplify your life is to plan your meals and cook in advance.

blogging and bloggers
May 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Many people are turning to blogging to expand their business, both online and off line. One of my good friends started blogging early this year and her blog post was published in a local newspaper - what a delight for her. In the recent election in Malaysia, few political figures had also been garnering votes and support via blogs and they were apparently known as blogging ministers.

baby micah has arrived!
May 1, 2008 | Leave a Comment
We are so excited to visit our friend’s newborn this afternoon. After many years of waiting, their dream to have a baby has come true and we are so happy for them. Since it’s a holiday for us today, we may go to the shops to get them a baby gift basket or something they would need during this time. Baby Micah is a big baby and seems to be depriving his new parents the sleep they once had. This all sounds so familiar, isn’t it? Congratulations to mommy T and daddy D.

housecleaning never ends
April 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Sometimes it seems like housecleaning is a never-ending, time-consuming chore. Just when we thought we had a day or two off from work, then we have to spend our free time cleaning instead. However, housecleaning doesn’t have to consume your free time. With some clever ideas and time-saving actions, you can slash your cleaning time and have time to spend with your family doing the things you enjoy the most.

weekends
April 27, 2008 | Leave a Comment
One of the things my work at home hubby loves to do on a weekend is to relax in front of our home theater seating and enjoy a good movie. The line between work and play can be rather fine when we work from home as the home office is a few steps from the bedroom and a flight of stairs from the living area! At this point, we still can’t keep our boy from our home office as we are also his caregivers. As a full time parent, I try to shift my focus on him in the evenings and weekends. Now we are off to a birthday party invitation, which is another treat for him!

air cleaners
April 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment
I suppose more and more parents are paying attention to the quality of air their children are breathing in. I can tell that by the sheer crowd in the recent health fair I attended, where lots of people were listening to a talk on clean air by a health practitioner. Personally, I believe that air cleaners are necessary if you live in a busy city where pollution is a big concern. These days, you can even get an air cleaner for the car which is a great idea, especially for those who are on the road most of the time. Air cleaners and purifiers are helpful for people suffering from nose and throat allergies.

no more sydney
April 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment
I finally gathered the courage to propose my vacation plan to DH. For the last few weeks, I’ve been searching for Sydney hotels with the hope of spending New Year’s Eve in this lovely city. Well, DH shot down the idea and he didn’t like the idea of going to Sydney for a vacation. Now, I may be shifting my focus on Japan and Club Med Sahoro unless something more interesting pops along the way. I can’t seem to get over this disappointment for now…

don’t take your health for granted
April 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Many of us take our health for granted, don’t we? Sometimes we sneer at those who are health conscious and joke about why they put so much efforts to eat the right foods. The reality is that none of us can predict what is going to happen to us and it’s our responsibility to educate ourselves in health matters. For instance, did you know that nearly 900 people died of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) everyday? While the subject and matters of the human heart are not widely discussed, it is important to take that heart health is definitely an area not to be taken too lightly. For more information about the risk factors, warning signs, heart blood flow facts and treatment of Sudden Cardiac Arrest, check out the website at Inside Cardiac Arrest.

outsourcing
April 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment
For a layman, outsourcing is a complete waste of time and financial resources, which can end up with unwanted complications. Why assign work to other individuals if you know what will be good for your business? Why delegate the work to outsourcing professionals abroad if you can do much better right at your own territory? You know what is best for your business, and you don’t need other individuals to deal with things that you can handle by yourself, or with the help of in-house personnel.

There is an old adage which says “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a
lifetime.”
