A little person's bedroom is their haven, their safe place that they can dream in and let their imagination go wild. You only need a little bit of money to truly make your child's bedroom dream come to life. You don't need to spend the earth on fancy furniture either. A child will appreciate something colorful, and you'll like something that keeps the toys hidden away at the end of the day.

Teenagers can be tricky to deal with. You just never know how to please them! And that transitional period when your kids start growing into their teenage years can be like stepping on eggshells. Especially when it is time for their bedroom to be decorated. All of their childhood toys need to be put into storage, and all of their cool new stuff needs to come out. Talking to your teenager can be tough at the best of times, but when you need to ask them how they want their room decorated, it can be a nightmare! Your idea of good decor might ultimately clash with theirs! And what was meant to be a quick chat could end up in a huge argument! Nervous about broaching the subject of decorating to your teenager? Don’t be – here are some useful tips and tricks you can use to get your teenager’s bedroom just right.

Pregnancy can be considered to be one of the most wonderful times in a woman’s life. Raging hormones and dramatic changes to our bodies can indeed feel rather odd at times! But one of the most unusual symptoms of all these changes is the need to nest. Nearly every woman goes through a few weeks feeling like they have to clean, sort, tidy, and completely rearrange the house!

If you’re entering your nesting phase, then there are plenty of things you can do around the house to prepare for your new arrival. Clearing some space for your little one is often a priority. You might start with your closets and cupboards. Getting rid of all that old clutter means you can make enough room for all the things you and your new baby will need soon. Perhaps you need to clean out the spare room so you can turn it into a nursery?

With that in mind, I thought I would share with you some of the ways you can get ahead for your retirement years.

Children have to learn many skills that they need to use independently later in life. Self-sufficiency is one of the goals all children are working toward, so they can look after themselves as adults. Even though it can be sad to watch them becoming a little more independent every year, it's also a good thing. You know that they'll be fine once you send them off into the world. Looking after their own health is one of the things children slowly learn as they grow up. It's important to teach them the skills they need, including how to look after their teeth.

When they are little, it's easy to think about all they ways we look after our kids. We feed them, wash them and comfort them when they are sad. But what can we do for the as they get older and reach adulthood? Luckily, I have a while to go before I need to worry about my little one being a grown up, but it never hurts to start thinking about the future.

Emotional support

A significant way of looking after your kids, even when they are fully grown, is to offer them unconditional emotional support. Just because they are adults now doesn't mean they are not going to feel confused or sad at times and need some advice or comfort from their parents. It's critical to offer this with as few conditions as possible. This is because if you attach conditions to your love, your child may be reluctant to come to you for support. If you want a close relationship with you child into adulthood, provide unconditional love from an early age, you’ll be so grateful you did.

That day when my husband left to work in the Middle East is one of the unhappy days in my family's life. That day was the start of my lonely nights. My daughter was upset because she'll be away with her father for a long time. She's closer to her father that's why it broke my heart to see her crying whenever she misses her daddy. 

Poverty is very rampant in our country nowadays. Because of the low income and limited opportunity here in the Philippines, working abroad is my husband's only option so that he could give better future to our family especially for our daughter. We have to endure the days being away from each other to be able to fulfil our dreams of having our house and providing a comfortable life for our daughter.

Pako is one the the delicasy or special dish prepared by the locals of Baler where I grew up. I remember my childhood days whenever I go on picnic with my friends, we always have pako salad on our dish. Pako is a fiddlehead fern listed among several kinds of edible fern sold fresh in local market at a fairly cheap price. Pako is abundant during rainy season only 10 pesos per bundle.

Ingredients:
bunch of Pako
tomatoes
onions
pomelo or salted egg
tomatoes (sliced)

For dressing:
sukang puti/calamansi
sugar
bagoong (fish sauce)


Procedure:
Cut the fern into 4 inches and discard the tough stems. Wash with clean water and blanch in boiling water. Drain the hot water and drop the fern in icy water to keep it crunchy. Drain and arrange pako in a bowl.

Slice the tomatoes and onions.
Peel pomelo/salted egg and cut them into desired pieces.

Combine all the ingredients together with the dressing. 

Serve and Enjoy!!

I am craving for Pancit Bihon (Rice Noodles) so I asked my mother to buy the ingredients. For our dinner I cooked “Pansit Bihon Guisado (Sautéed Rice Noodles) and for the ingredients I used:



• Cooking oil

• Minced garlic
• Sliced onion
• Soy sauce
• Boiled chicken meat then cut into strips
• Cabbage cut into big strips
• Carrots cut into strips
• Chicken broth
• Kintsay or cilantro
• 1//4 kilo of Rice Noodles
• Pepper




The processes are very simple and easy to do. I boiled the chicken until tender then cut into strips while I set aside the stock. In a pan I sautéed the garlic in cooking oil then add onions, chicken strips and cooked for 3 minutes. Then I add the carrots, cabbage and cilantro. I also add soy sauce and chicken broth when the veggies are almost half-cooked. When the veggies are already half cooked, I remove it from heat and set aside leaving the sauce and broth mixture. I added the rice sticks and cook until its tender. Lastly I added the veggies and mix with the cooked rice noodles then seasoned with pepper and fish sauce to taste.





The process is like cooking any other kinds of adobo meal. I first removed the balut shells then reserved the broth. In a pan, I sautéed the onion and garlic then added the balut and fried for a minute. Then I added the other ingredients like the soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, pepper and the water. Lastly I added vinegar, broth from the balut, cayenne pepper and sugar to taste.


I made a vinegar with onion and chili dipping  I enjoyed eating the balut which I shared with my sister Naomi.

*Balut-balut (spelled standardized as balot) is a developing duck embryo (fertilized duck egg) that is boiled and eaten in the shell. It originated and is commonly sold as streetfood in the Philippines
