Life today is very fast paced. People have become so busy that they fail to spend time for themselves and their family. Well, I don't want to make that same mistake. So I'm listing down the simple things that bring me great joy so I don't forget to spend more time on it.
The unpretentious laugh of my 6-month old daughter....
The "I love you Mommy" of my 5-year old daughter after being disciplined and previously saying "I don't like you" ....
The relaxing dip in the bath tub with my 3 little girls....
The fruit of my 2 boys' labor in school ....
Meditating on God's goodness. He is the joy of my salvation ....
My husband oh my husband ....
You think, people don't forget about these? Are you still surprised as to why there are many juvenile delinquencies, divorce and violent crimes? Take time out to think about your simple things that bring great joy.
I have an additional simple joy today. I have searched high and low. Finally, after having changed my blog design 4 times, I found it. I found the perfect design for my blog that's here to stay. Many thanks to Gisele Jaquenod. I really like her simple and cute yet very detailed designs.
If you like this site's new layout, why not drop by Gisele Jaquenod and Birdie and see what she has to offer. She can make custom blog designs. She also makes designs for t-shirts, mugs, bags and other novelty items available at cafepress.

Stay at Home Business 101: Get Paid to Click
One of the easiest ways to earn online staying at home is by joining Get Paid To Click (PTC) sites. It's free and it is so easy, sometimes you can get bored doing it.
With PTC sites, you get paid to click and view ads within a time frame. The pay range is from $o.o2 - $0.0001 per ad viewed depending on the view time, the PTC site and your membership level (there are paid upgrades which pay more). After reaching the minimum cashout, you can request your payment through Paypal or Alertpay.
To start with, you need your computer - internet connection with internet security in place, new email account (use Gmail) and Paypal / Alertpay accounts ready. These are bare necessities before you can sign-up for some PTC programs.
Now, join at least 5-10 PTC sites. It would take about 30 minutes to 1 hour to do your daily clicking from these sites. If 1 hour is not enough, you have joined too much. That's alright, if you have plenty of time to spare.
I am listing below some of the PTC sites I joined. These are, in my humble opinion, trusted and paying though some are fairly new. I did some background investigation of these sites by looking at the forums and at other sites that reviews good PTCs. There are many PTCs out there that turnout to be scams also. So, be wary.
I have chosen those which give the best value for your time (meaning $0.01-$0.002 per click for Free members) and with low minimum cashout. I hope you will sign-up through my affiliate links. I get to earn some from referrals and so would you if you refer somebody to the program.
Neobux - Minimum cashout: $2
PalmBux - Minimum Cashout: $2
Revbux - Minimum Cashout: $5
Qualitybux - Minimum Cashouut: $5
ClixSense - Minimum Cashout: $10. Paying since February 2007
There are still many trusted PTCs out there, but I'll post them next time plus my payment proofs when I have them.

Potty Training
Yahoo! At last, my 4th child, Janel - 2 yrs 9 months old, is now potty trained. YES!
Janel has not been wearing any diaper during the daytime since 2 years old (she doesn't want to) and even at night time since 2 1/2 years old. What a great savings on money paid to diapers.
The problem is she can pass urine in the potty but she always poops in her underwear. We've been encouraging her to sit down on the potty, when she feels like poops ready. But she always messes up.
About 3 weeks ago, she had very loose bowel movement and made a lot of mess on the bed. She cried that time. But that was a turning point for her. Since then, she has been pooping in the potty. We always praise her for her big accomplishment. Even she praises herself for a job well done.
After having potty trained 4 children, here are some tips on how to potty train your child:
1. Start by giving your child his own potty chair.
2. Let your child see you or his father using the toilet. It was easier for my younger children to be potty trained because they see their older brother or sister doing it.
3. Let him sit on the potty chair fully clothed just to have a feel of it.
4. Gradually, let him sit without a nappy.
5. When he soils or wets his nappy, sit him gently on the chair after cleaning him while you get fresh things.
6. Once he is interested, let him sit 2 or 3 times a day.
7. When I have a hint that he is about to pee or poop, I ask him and sit him on the potty.
8. Lastly, don't pressure or scold the child. Children who are pressured into early training tend to be bedwetters and soiling than those children who develop at their own pace. Praise every success.
Just keep doing these tips and you'll have success at potty training your child.
