Choosing the Right Daycare

Once you’ve made the decision to return to work after your baby has been born, it’s time to start searching for a daycare center. This can be an emotional time for you, and sometimes overwhelming especially if there are numerous daycare centers to choose from.
Here are a few tips you can use to help you choose a daycare provider that’s right for you and your child:

• The first step is to get a list of daycare centers in your area. Check your local yellow pages, online, or get some recommendations from other parents.

• Find out of there are any openings available for you to enroll your child.

• Are there any age restrictions?

• Write down the locations and hours of operation for each daycare center on your list.

• What is the cost to enroll your child?

• How many other children are currently attending and what are their ages?

• Are healthy meals and snacks supplied by the daycare center?

Once you’ve narrowed your search down to a few daycare centers, it’s time to ask some important questions to ensure that you’re choosing the right daycare for your child. Here are some questions to keep in mind when visiting or speaking with each daycare center.

• Is it clean and safe for your child?

• What is the ratio of caregivers to children?

• Are the children at the daycare actively engaged in activities and do they seem happy and well taken care of?

• Are there plenty of educational toys and activities for the children?

• Are the caregivers warm and friendly? How do they interact with the children?

• Ask the daycare administrator for some background information on the staff, especially regarding licenses or degrees.

• Ensure that the daycare staff have received the proper training and have good credentials and experience.

• Are there safety exits in case of a fire or other emergency?

Once you’re satisfied that you have the answers to these questions, you should be able to determine which daycare center is the best choice for your child. The closest daycare may not always be the best, and the most inexpensive option may not always be the best either.

You’ll know what’s best for your child, and which daycare center will be the most suitable environment for him to be in while you’re working.

God's Hand of Blessing

In the midst of the Lord 's Prayer are these familiar words: "Give us this day our daily bread". They remind us that we are dependent on God for everything, and He is the giver of every blessing. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights.

Some people say, "Why should I pray for my daily bread? I can take care of my own needs. If it weren't for God's love and grace, you wouldn't have anything. We need to pray this prayer everyday, because we need to be reminded to trust God in everything.

This prayer reminds us also of Jesus words "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger. Thank God for all His gifts especially Christ, the greatest gift of all.

Love We Can Trust

Perhaps the most painful statement a person can hear is , "I don't love you anymore". Those worda end relationships, break hearts, and shatter dreams. Often, people who have been betrayed guard themselves against future paim by deciding not to trust anyone's love again. That settled conviction may even include the love of God.

The remarkable thing about God's love for us in His promise that it will never end. A person may now vow to love us forever yet fail to keep that promise, but God's love remains steadfast and sure. He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you. That's love we can trust.

GOD Is Good

God is better than we think…
so it’s time to change the way we think about Him.

“God is Good.” More than a positive thought, theological concept, or Biblical statement—what you do with these three words defines your reality and determines your destiny.
 
In a world of fear, disease, crisis, torment, uncertainty, and hopelessness, what you believe about God’s goodness reveals how you will respond to the trials and circumstances of everyday life. Your view of God impacts everything!

We must Learn how to:

• Clearly discern the difference between the will of God and the enemy’s plans.
• Confidently pray for breakthrough, believe for miracles, and have faith for God to move, no matter what comes against you.
• Find rest in God’s unchanging character and embrace the value of mystery... even when prayers aren’t immediately answered.
• Discover God’s goodness in both Old and New Testaments.
• Encounter Jesus Christ as perfect theology—the One who reveals a good Father.
• Partner with Heaven to release supernatural solutions to a world in chaos.

Build your life on the solid foundation of God’s goodness and experience new realms of supernatural thinking that bring Heaven to Earth, changing the atmosphere around you!

Simple of Life

This morning, I got the privilege to experience or witness God's greatest creation. If you're all new to my blog, I am a working mother and every morning is quite a rush for us at home. Although I admit I wake up late (past 6am) because if I wake up by 5am my daughter would wake up too. They seem to feel me as I slowly climb off the bed. That's why I'm always in a hurry every morning that I seem not to mind or take notice of the things happening around. Like I said, this morning was kind of different. The usual stuff I wake up to but the chirping of the birds caught my senses. It was really a music to my ears and calming to my spirit. I guess there were lots of them flocked in our plants and a palm tree inside our area. Their happy voices seem to vibrate in our surroundings that I cannot help but grab my camera and record it… 

This was just a portion of what took place. They have been chirping for a long time. Their happy "noise" was like this the whole time we were preparing for our daily morning stuff. Our bathroom overlooks that palm tree outside so I had a very pleasant bath even if a hurried one because their voice soothe me. Though it was simple as that, it was a happy moment for me. I was full of gratitude and overwhelmed of that gift to witness God's presence first thing in the morning thru these wonderful creatures. I am amazed, humbled and thankful.

Weekend is the Best

Finally, the weekend is here. After a horrible week I plan on chilling the whole weekend at home doing nothing, enjoying the silence and preparing for next week. The weather is going to be totally crappy anyway ... I'll have more time for my blog then, so prepare for some serious posts ;)

In the meantime, enjoy this awesome remix of an awesome song! 

There's no place like home

Mothers are always the doing the best for their home. As a working mother, I always see to it that everything is fine with my house with regards to home arrangement, taking care of my plants, dining room and all components of the house. Right now, our house needs some furniture and fixtures to display since our living room is spacious enough because of the latest improvements.

I think a custom cabinet is what we need right now in all parts of our room coz in our bed room we need cabinets to beautify our rooms.

Home is a perfect place for the family to make bonding. Kids always find themselves at ease on their moves and place to enjoy. It’s really good when our house is well ventilated and easy to go around. For me, I love seeing my own house with fabulous curtains, well arrange furniture and fixtures, synchronized color combinations, organized plants outside the house.

I just love staying my room seeing all my good works as a mother and as a wife (hahahaha joke only).
