Manners in the Mall
Have you ever noticed how people sometimes behave badly in a #shopping mall? Sometimes they rush into #elevators /lifts leaving very little space for mothers with #toddlers or prams. It is really so rude and inconsiderate. I
Grandparents say the darndest things: Grandma Edition
Both of my grandparents are colorful characters, to say the very least. Each of them has a never ending supply of stories and wisdom that might learn you a thing or two, in my Grandpa's words. It might be a bit uncouth but I really started to notice how in
Grandparents say the darndest things!
Everyone knows that one of the perks of growing older is being able to say whatever you want. Elderly persons very rarely get scolded for saying something that may or may not be inappropriate for the time and place. I know that when I get older, I fully in
Some stolen moments to check in.
Barring any interruptions, I am able to take a few moments too write an article here. As some here may know, I consider myself to be a "Granny Nanny". My daughter's fifth child was born the end of January, so I help with my Grandkids a lot. I life in thei
Swollen Lymph Nodes
So every year I usually get swollen lymph nodes in my throat. Last year wasn't too bad but this year is worse. Along with that I have a headache and feel dizzy/fatigued. I should probably see a doctor but for starters I would have to be the one driving and
Heroes of Change Organization Incorporated, voluntary assistance to the needy
Right, so here's a new thing. An #organization which is so new to the online world that it doesn't have a website yet. Even the logo file I was sent won't download. I'll add it if I solve the issue but until then, I'm using a placeholder image from Pixabay

What goes on at night?
One night, it was getting rather late. Only my 7 years old son and I were up. He was watching #cartoons on TV and I rather firmly told him to go to sleep. He looked at me and asked very suspiciously, “And what are you going to do when we are all

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
Christmas day is over but the Spirit is Still Here
Well it is now Dec. 26 in the Philippines. Christmas day is over but the #spirit is still here. People are still #greeting each other on Facebook and in text. The children are happy with the clothes and toys they got. Adults are #thrilled if they got the n
"But Mom, I Want To Play the (insert musical instrument here)!"
I spent Thanksgiving with a friend and her family today. She and her husband invited me to spend the day at their house, along with two of his work colleagues and one of his former graduate students (my friend’s husband is a university professor). &
Helping children develop good reading habits
One of the best things about my children's school is that they put a lot of emphasis on #reading at junior level. Every child is issued reading books every week and children have to read them under parental supervision at home. Children keep a reading reco
Exchanging Pictures between Dog Lovers
The other day I went to the city for #groceries. On the way home I stopped by a pet store that sells #vitamins and other #accessories and they do #grooming too. When I went in I had to wait for a while to get my order of vitamins and Emedication for my do

Parents, Please Don't Teach Your Kids to Objectify People
Whenever I venture outside, especially during the summer, I expect to hear #objectifying comments from a few directions before I reach my destination. Sad, but nonetheless true. I don't like it but I generally shake it off, except one of those I heard toda
