Job interview tips

One thing to make sure you do before showing up for the interview is to research about what the background of the company you are applying for. This is especially true if you are applying for jobs in sales.

Water consumption tips

With the incidence of global warming all the more becoming a reality, we should do our share in keeping the cause of mother earth's depletion to a minimum. One way to do look into is making sense of what we do everyday and minimizing our consumption of the things we use around us. 

Conserve water for example. How do we do that, when all the things we do everyday has to do with water. We use water when we cook, bathe, clean the house and a lot of other things. What we can actually do is to make use of rain barrels to harvest rain water. This will help to not just help the environment but will also benefit your household by way of reducing the water bill that you have to pay for every month. 

Whatever rain water you collect with a rain barrel can be used to water your plants, clean the garage, car, et. al, instead of you having to use it straight from the faucet. 

It is these little things that we choose to do that will make a difference. If more people will care enough to do their share, it will mean a great deal to the generations after us.

My Homeschool Blog is now self hosted!

My Homeschool Blog is finally live! It took a while for me to be able to launch it because I was not sure if I would have it free hosted or subscribe to a webhosting service apart from my other blogs. It also did not help that a lot of good domains under the same niche are already taken. That are two crucial things to consider when launching a blog. My domain will be a permanent residence of your blog posts and it will be tagged to my niched blog for as long as I have have it maintained.

I later got convinced that a self hosted blog is always the best. As usual, I had to check with webhostingchoice.com to make sure I do not get scammed again. There are reviews that they provide as well which makes choosing the kind of webhost that will fit your need, wether it be linux web hosting or for multiple domain ones, you will get to choose for yourself according to your priority. The best part about it is that I read actual reviews of real people who availed of the services. This really is something that I learned the hard way. But at least I did learn. Never will I avail of cheap webhosting services ever again.

Child Care Tip: Traveling with a Toddler

While traveling could be fun, it can also be a challenge when you have a toddler in tow. But we could very much keep troubles and worries at bay if we just take note of the basics. 

Regardless of the destination, it could be local or international, a parent should make sure to bring things that children could do during travel time. To fill a bag with a variety of toys and activities a child could make use of like books, crayons, clays stickers, even picture books and random toys. Don't forget to throw in the child's favorite toy. 

Another basic is to have your child dress comfortably. When a child is ill at ease with his clothes the chances of having a fussy travel will be very high and that's not something we all would want as we go to our vacation place.

Toddler Tips: Help Develop Your Child's Gross Motor Skills

First what are gross motor skills? This are the movements of arms, legs and body. A toddler learns to get these muscles in his or her body coordinated to be able to balance. This is also a reason why a child shouldn't be confined in a playpen for long periods of time. Parents should encourage the toddlers to develop as she moves throughout a bigger space to further develop his or her gross motor skills. 

A parent could actually schedule a time during the day wherein she could play with her tot. This may even prove to be a good fat burner exercise even as you follow your toddler around, playing catch and picking up balls. One very important thing to remember is to make the surrounding child friendly.

Wipe spills the moment they happen

If only we could have our house as clean as it was turned over to us when it was brand new. One of the things that I personally have to put up with when it comes to household cleaning is keeping my black and white washroom spic and span. I love the contemporary design we chose for our bath and the main challenge is keeping the white floor tiles sparkling white.  

Maintenance is the answer. Making sure to wipe spills as soon as possible, putting the job off will just allow the dirt and grime to seep in thus making it even harder for the mark to come off.
