Some Personal News & Updates
My #son is now around 2 1/2 years old, and he is picking up #words rather well. I was recently #blessed to hear him say "Love you Daddy" clear as day. Let me tell you, there is nothing like it in all the world. If you have #children, you know exactly what

9000 in the bank!
I have finally earned 9000 coins!!! Yayy. To be very honest, I do not see myself reaching $20 for the next 6 months but I really have a great time here. As I mentioned on a post by &cmoneyspinner, I come to Persona Paper just to rest my feet,
My Main Goal In Life
When I was younger and still single, I had a lot of goals in life that I wished to achieve at some point but things suddenly changed when I got married and then later have children. I find it surprising that I do not desire much for myself right now
The Saddest Movies
There are some #movies that make me cry no matter how many times I see them. To be honest, I can cry easily. A tragic movie is not necessarily the one in which the hero dies. For example I will not call Gladiator (starring Russell Crowe) a tragic movie.&nb
Bagatelle Fun
Last time I was in Lahore, I helped out my mother- in- law in cleaning her store-room (attic) and we discovered some #toys and #games that my husband used to play in his #childhood, some 30-35 years ago. It was so much fun to see the "old-fashioned" boar
30-Day Song Challenge - Day 7 - A Song that You Associate with a Funny Memory - "Achy Breaky Heart"

Are Your Children Treated Like Royalty?
In the online world, we meet many writers. One of my favorite writers was someone I knew by the moniker of "littlefoot1026." I think that her real name was Donna. I enjoyed her engaging style, and found her to be genuinely interested in getting

Innocents Pay a High Price for Ignorance
At the age of about 8 or 9 years old, saw a young boy who was “white everywhere”! His skin, his hair, his eyebrows! Asked my mother about him and she casually remarked: “He's an albino”. That was the entire discussion. Accepted it a
Cleaning up after dinner is hard
I usually get up at about 6 am and all day long there is a steady stream of household #chores to tackle. Sending #children to school and picking them up later, cleaning the house, washing dishes, cooking meals, laundry and taking care of my 2 year old as
Sound of Silence
It is quite late here in my part of the world. My #children and hubby are all fast asleep and I am quietly typing on the keyboard to quickly post some comments and posts on Persona Paper. This is probably the only time in my home when there is
Children Love To Run
All children are always and constantly in motion. They are running around most of the time whenever this is possible. Running is a natural way of movement for a human being. Children are yet uninhibited by social norms so they exercise the movement without
My Absence Lately
It has been over a month since I last posted an article here. The birth of my daughter's fifth child has kept me quite busy. When I am not giving my two-year-old Grandson the extra attention he needs of late, I am able to sit and simply enjoy holding my ne
An 11 Year Old Kills a 2 Month Old Baby
I just came across this story on the computer, and it is extremely disturbing, to say the least. A woman left her 2 month old daughter with a friend she had known for 5-6 years so she could have a break. This is completely understandable in my book. Mothe

Parenting is such a dilemma!
Mom, why can’t you leave me alone? I am not a child anymore. I can make my own decisions I don’t need you anymore! Hardly two minutes later… Mom, have you seen my blue socks? I can’t find my other shoe. Can you please make

Children and Flying - Can It Get Any Worse?
I saw the poll that &WordChazer posted about children and airline flights (Children and Flying - what's the solution?), and was hit upside the head with a particularly trying flight experience. About thirty years ago, my mom moved to a Midwest
Pushy parents
Sometimes, as #parents, we have a pre-conceived notion of what constitutes “#success”, and we force our #children to live up to our interpretation of that word. At other times, we try to live vicariously through our children and push them to
The City of Widows...
Yes, I'm writing this post about a place that is as good as the city of widows. I am talking about Vrindavan, the land of God Krishna in Mathura, India. As per reports here almost 5000-8000 widows are living in various ashrams. Surprisingly, they ar
How I Tsu: Just a Few Tips
I joined #tsu on November 10, 2014. I now have $1.47 in my bank there. As you can tell, that's not much compared to the early adopters, like Kevin Hinkle, who probably has hundreds of children by now, at least. One thing about MLM programs is that early ad
Gifts, Gifts, Gifts!

Travelling always gives me a massive headache
I have just come back from a road trip and I am feeling as if I have been crushed under a truck. I don't know why this happens to me. I love travelling whether by car, bus or aeroplane. I don't mind packing #luggage (unpacking is a different issue,

My Niece's Recital
My nieces and my nephew went to a school where participation in the school band was encouraged, and the school made it as easy for the parents as possible. Any child that wanted to participate could do so, regardless of financial ability, and the school ha
Giving children joy
Many people would get out of their way just to give their children happiness. I am glad companies like my husband take time to get events for families and their children. The last one we attended was for Halloween. The children were so happy to see all the

I was up all night

Swing Wizards, an Android app from Earth Little
Swing Wizards from Earth Little is one of the latest tapping games. On first opening the #game, it looks similar to a #retro 80s platform title, with lines of #stones swinging in a metronomic rhythm. Think Manic Miner or early Mario versions. You coul
What Is The Best Kiddie TV show
We have to admit the TV has been a big part of parenting these days. Since both parents have to start working to sustain the family, most kids are left in front of the TV to kill the time. But as time goes by children shows and cartoons have been more comp
Schools need to foster creativity in children
Sometimes it seems to me that our #children will inherit a world that is full of social, economic and political problems. Whether it is about tackling #poverty, environmental pollution, recession, agriculture, energy crisis, caring about endangered sp

My childrens new chore game chart.
I'm sick of hearing my children arguing over what housework they want to do so Ive designed them a new chore chart. I used a flat piece of wood that was at the back of a photo frame and some small blocks for dice that got from my local craft chart. First
A Business that Welcomes Children
Have you ever taken children into a store only to have the employees follow them around as though they were little criminals? These kinds of #stores often have signs on their shelves like “You break it, you bought it.” Granted, there may be goo
My little artist
I spent a hour or two at my local farm today as there was a fun day, whilst my eldest child had a major sulk about not wanting to go, my youngest had fun. She had fun making herself a spider sandwich out of some sort of flat bread, cream cheese and cucumb
A few tips for those with children.
Raising children is a rewarding and lovely experience, but oh wow can they really push you to your limits. I believe there is a time for disciplining children, a time for letting little things go and times sometimes when things get too much a good laugh i
George Will's Solution to the Influx of Immigrant Children

Girls Day Out: Continued
There is a residence on our road that has some horses and I have wanted to stop in while there was someone outside, but always chickened out. As we were walking by today, a little boy darted up the long dirt driveway (with mom close behind c
Girls Day Out
I was not fond of the idea of sending my 9 year old across the border to Canada, nor was I going to sign a waiver of liability for my 11 year old to go on her field trip, so they stayed home and we had a girls day out with their baby sister. We wa
FASHIONABLE CHILDREN OF THE 21ST CENTURY

Little Bit of Luck
While laying in bed this morning, attempting to open my eyes, my husband comes in all excited stating that our middle daughter had found a four leaf clover! Not awake yet, I told him to set it atop the speaker, that I would look at it after I had a
