Nap time is very important in helping young children grow.
In my children’s school, preschoolers and early graders till third grade have time to nap after their lunch. Lunch time runs from 12 – 1:30pm daily. My youngest daughter is experiencing this because she is in second grade. After the children have their lunch, they brush their teeth and get their mats for nap time.
We didn’t get a mat for her during the mattress sale before the classes opened because we still have a mat that my older daughter used when she was in the early grades.
Sometimes though, when my daughter feels tired, she tells me she wakes up to find the 1:30pm teacher in their classroom already 😀

Children being abused by others like their nannies and other caretakers are one of parents’ nightmares.
I once stumbled upon a video of a baby being abused by her nanny and the horrifying scene was captured on security cameras installed discreetly in strategic places in the house. Monster nanny she was and I don’t know if she was apprehended and did some jail time for that abuse. I hope she did.
Time and again my husband and I discussed the possibility of installing cameras in the house for security reasons but we haven’t gotten into doing it yet.
One thing that’s puzzling to me though: how come homes where these cameras and alarms have been installed have signs that they have such things in their homes?

When I cook pasta, I don’t have exact recipes that I follow. Whatever we have in the fridge is what I use, as long as these would give delight the fickle taste buds of my children.
Here is my simple version of chicken alfredo pasta Cajun Chicken Pasta
Ingredients:
tomatoes
red and green bell pepper
sliced olives (optional, I added these because we have extra from another dish that I cooked)
bite-sized chicken (from chicken breasts)
all-purpose cream and cheese for the sauce
Italian herb seasoning for flavors instead of Cajun
spaghetti noodles cooked according to instructions
I topped mine with fresh parsley bits.

What NOT to post in Facebook is an article for everyone who loves to post everything about themselves in Facebook. The things listed here does not just apply to Facebook but to other social networking sites and other sites, whether online or through paper application procedures.
But really, if one has enough common sense, giving too much information about one’s self should be anyone’s cause for concern and alarm.
- Birthdate and birthplace. Why not? think financial security before you broadcast this.
- Mother’s maiden name. Why not? Have you ever used this to answer a security question for identity verification?
- Your home address. Why not? Go figure.
- Long trips away from home. Why not? It is an open invitation for people to have a home visit while you are away from home. Remember, not all the people in your social networking site are your personal friends.
- Short trips away from home. Why not? Do go back to number 4 please.
- Your inappropriate photos. Why not? Would you want that photo where you were only wearing bifocal safety glasses out there for everyone to see? I hope not. IF you do not want friends posting photos of you getting bushed or doing something you regretted the moment your sanity comes back, then don’t do anything that will put you in a compromising situation.
Read the full article here and take the advise written there, if you want to protect yourself from online predators.
Like the beauty pageant question that gets asked all the time: “Would you rather be beautiful or smart?” I think most would rather answer they’d rather be smart than beautiful. Not only is this the logical choice for the shot of winning the title but this is what is expected as the answer.
Of course, when you are smart and you get to earn a lot, you can have your physical beauty enhanced, harharhar. And those unsightly bulges, hair here and there, chest acne and other ewwwness can now be removed without a trace. You know, what used to be there can be removed and what was not there can be enhanced.
