"Anyone can be a father, but it takes a real man to be a good daddy."


Who we are right now is because of our parents. They are the ones that help shape our future. And of the most critical influence in our childhood was a father.  While any man can father a child, but there is a more important role of being a father in a child’s life. A father is someone who would teach us the game of life and how to play it right.

But not all dads share the same parenting style and even personalities. Studies show that modern dads can be categorized into three namely a Provider, Super-Sub/Proud and Career/Workaholic dad. Despite the differences, we know the fact that a father will do everything for the sake of his family. Just like my husband, who chose to work overseas to provide excellent education, food and the things his daughter needs. His sacrifice trading loneliness working far abroad in the hope of bringing a brighter future to our family is the most selfless decision he ever made.  I know how unmeasurable those tears of sadness he's hiding behind those smiles we see as we talk through video chat. A father can be far from perfect, but as a parent, he'll do many things for the sake of his child.

When we think about changing our eating habits, we usually think of the foods that we should eat less of or avoid completely, like processed meats and artificial sweeteners. What most of us don’t realize is that it is equally important to consider what we should eat more of to get the nutrients we need.

One such food that should be included in a healthy diet is the cashew nut. In the old days, the fruit was given more importance over the nut. The juice was consumed both as medicine and beverage, while the flesh and oil were used for various cooking purposes. Indeed, in Brazil where the plant originated, cashew fruit juice is highly popular and more people prefer eating the “apple” to the nut.

Color is a wonderful thing. It influences our moods, brightens up space, and ultimately makes life far more visually interesting. Without color, we’d all be forced to live in a monotone world with little interest or intrigue— with color, the world is a stunning tapestry of different shades and tones, all weaving together to create a truly stunning home.

Most of us appreciate color, but it’s interesting to note that we focus on a select number of colors and shades. As demonstrated by this handy chart on htmlcolorcodes.com, there are literally thousands of different colors and shades… but we don’t use them. Instead, most of us stick to a standard color palette, especially when it comes to our home decor and design.
