More to Learn
Written by virayvibe on October 24, 2008 – 12:50 pm -Almost two months of being a full-time housewife and mother gave me realizations that I guess mothers cannot fully understand not until they’ve experienced BEING at home.
• There is no such thing as ENOUGH time spent with children… the more you spend time with them, the more you realize they need more of your presence and attention.
• To know them is TO BE with them.
• Asking someone to look after your children is delegating a very big responsibility.
• You will never run out of errands at home, from bills to grocery to repairs to processing papers… the list goes on…
• Not because you’re the parent and you provide everything your children needs mean that you should push your children to follow all the rules you set at home. Be flexible enough to adjust the rules based on your child’s personality and environment he’s exposed to, without of course sacrificing the values you want to impart. Sometimes all they need is understanding and everything will be ok.
• Patience is really a virtue.
• Looking after and taking care of your children brings out the best in them, not the material things that we thought would matter.
I know I’ll be learning a lot more the coming months ahead. Yes it’s not easy to give out all your effort and time serving your children and husband but I am happy that I’m doing it and I believe soon I will see the positive effects of me being at home.

Encouraging your Children to Read
Written by virayvibe on June 6, 2008 – 2:57 pm -I’ve always been generous to my kids if it’s all about buying children’s books. This is because I have proven it myself how reading can help a child in terms of comprehension and spelling without them noticing it.
Lucky for me because my sons are interested in reading, but for those parents having a hard time convincing their children to read, I think buying a personalized children’s book will make them realize how fun it is to read books.

A Change of Heart
Written by virayvibe on June 2, 2008 – 9:15 am -
Lately I am having a change of heart. I used to think that I cannot be a full time housewife because lack of brain activity will kill me. But now, I am on the verge of resigning because of these two adorable kids waiting for me everyday as I come home from work. Maybe I just needed a break. Maybe I would just want to experience having nothing to think about but my husband and kids for a couple of months. Maybe God is telling me that my kids need my time more than the money I take home each month. I don’t know. All I know is that I would want to spend more time with my kids each day. And guess what, my husband feels the same way too… ahahah…

Right Track
Written by virayvibe on May 16, 2008 – 4:47 pm -I have a two year old son who still wears diapers until now. Aside from the fact that it is costly, my son always develops rashes. Honestly, being a working mom, I am having a hard time teaching my child to use the toilet every time he feels the need to do so. During weekends, I would not allow him to wear diapers. I would tell him to go to the comfort room if he wants to urinate or do the other thing. What usually happens is that he would go to the toilet and have nothing in the end or do what he has to do in any part of the house except where he should be.
As a frustrated mom like most of the moms out there I guess, I would definitely need toilet training tips especially for working moms. I would just like to find out if I am on the right track or if I am doing things the wrong way.

A Fulfilling Job
Written by virayvibe on May 16, 2008 – 4:44 pm -Being a mother is a 24/7 job. Unlike being employed, you cannot ask your child for a morning, lunch and afternoon break. Literally, you can only do what you want to do when the kid is sleeping. Although being a mom is a fulfilling job, increase in expenses require mothers nowadays to also have a source of income. Being an employee or owning your own business, it both requires time away from your child.
Lucky for intelligent and artistic moms, they can package their knowledge and experience in a way that other moms will appreciate. From books to websites to newsletters, they try to reach as many mothers as possible. Being able to help mothers this way is not easy, and Marketing to Mothers is another thing. Good thing MomCentralConbsulting.com is available online to help prospective mothers show what they can offer and at the same time ease any company who wants to tap brilliant moms.
