WARNING: I have broken the rules

So...since I haven't heard from any of you about what to do (my last post), I am going to assume that it is OK for me to go ahead and do what I am about to do.

What am I about to do, you might be thinking. I am about to break the rules! Yes, that's right! I made the rules and I am going to break them, and I heard/read somewhere that rules are meant to be broken. So here I go...

I am going to review a product I received from a product reviewing website. So, if you only clicked on the post thinking you will get some parenting tips/tricks, you have been warned. However, if you are looking for that kinda post, here's where you'll find it. But if you still are interested in knowing what it is that I have to say...then come right in. :)

Can I break the rules?

Hello there beautiful,

I was going to apologize and start the post by saying "I am sorry" for not writing yesterday. But then I thought why do I always have to start my blog post with "I am sorry" if I miss a blog post? Why can't it be something interesting and then apologize?

So the thing is that, I don't know, I feel like I am not putting up with my words, the words I said in About Me. I know I am not, and I feel bad about it. I felt like not coming back, because then if I did how would I face all of you reading this. You will feel cheated and you will not trust me anymore. I have realized that posting everyday is kind of hard to start of with. I try my best, I really do(!) to post something everyday, but some days I can't think of what content to write about. I have focused/targeted my blog on parenting and I feel I can't talk anything other than that on my blog. I don't know what to do, I would really appreciate any help.

I was wondering...

Why did I start?

Hi there,

I am afraid this post won't be about parenting and anything related to that, instead it will be me ranting. So if you are into that stuff, sure, hop in. Today I woke up with a fresh mind and a topic in mind to write about. I was all set to start blogging, but I got busy so I couldn't post when I wanted to. Then as the day went by, I felt a sudden mood drop (I have no idea why). From being excited to write about something, to feeling down and just leaving it. I felt so sad that I literally wanted to cry and I was also confused that why am I feeling that way, I still am (confused, not feeling sad). I felt like sharing what I felt so I thought what better platform than blogging. So, I headed over to Blogging U. which is hosted by Wordpress and I posted this:

Don't shove it in their faces!

Hey friends,

How is it going? So did you comment on the last post? DID YOU?? :P No, let's just get straight into the topic. We all know how important nutrients are for us and of course, for our child(ren). We all want to be healthy and want the same for our child(ren). Yes, we get worried when our children are not eating well and the biggest of all, we worry about our picky eaters. Thank God, I don't have a picky eater, or do I? Well, for now I can safely say I don't.

We get stressed on very little issues, almost on no issues at all. So many people get worried, which is fine, when their children are not eating "on time". I know, we all have a set daily routine and breakfast, lunch and dinner are included in that routine. What we do is that we "expect" our child(ren) to eat only in those set routines; by doing so, in my opinion, we are pushing our child(ren) away from loving food and from eating. What I like to do is that I let Ar be hungry so that she asks me for her meal. I have a time frame, not a set routine, in which I know she will be hungry so I keep the food ready. But I don't sit her down and try to shove it up her mouth, I wait for her to ask for it. I do that because I have seen mothers "running" after their children trying to feed them. The food may be good, but when a child is not hungry, he is not hungry! Period.

How can I not add this photo when we are talking about food?

In this case, ENJOY! :)

This is hard work! And how was/is your day?

Hello,

How are you doing? I am not just asking this, I really want to know...how are you? How was your day? I hope you are having a wonderful and blessed day. I want all of you reading this tell me (in the comments) how is your day going? I haven't had a lot of people comment on my posts, so I was wondering if anyone is even reading my blog. :( And if you are, let's be friends? I would like to chat with all of you reading this, about anything and everything.

And while we are chatting, I would love

Appreciate and display the artwork!

Good day,

Before anything, let's talk about this: I have such awesome readers. Thank you everyone for taking the time to read my blog. So, I posted goals the other day and 2 of them are broken (been hit by rocks real good), but there is just one more to complete the goals and then we can have new goals. I am excited about the new goals, I bet you will be too. The one that is left to complete is the poll one, I only need 1 more person to vote in the poll and we're done with these boring goals you've been seeing for the past few days.

Now, let's get into the topic here, shall we? What do I mean by 'appreciate and display the artwork'? Am I talking about the great art of Picasso? Leonardo De Vinci? NO!!! Of course I am not. I am taking about the masterpieces your child(ren) make(s). Remember the masterpiece my angel made? Find it here: Ar's Artwork. I talked about displaying it, I haven't displayed it yet (when I do, you'll know) but I know I will. The reason I want to display it and the reason I am encouraging you to do it is because doing so will increase our child(ren)'s self-confidence; when they see that their works are displayed on your house's walls, they'll feel proud (which is what I want my child to feel). It doesn't have to be displayed on your living room wall, or dining room wall, do it where it feels right and where it is visible. The work wouldn't be too good (or it could be), but if you add a punch of color/creativity in it yourself, you'll be quite pleased.  It can be a abstract piece of art (abstract is really anything, I believe).

Now, that is a some nice art, but it is abstract, see! How I am thinking of displaying the great piece, is in silver frame with some details in the frame. Silver will hold the whole picture together. I am thinking it will look really good. If you have studied visual arts, I would love to know your thoughts on it. I have studied some art, not in such great details. Share some artworks of your child in the comments and what are your thoughts on displaying your child(ren)'s artwork around your house? I would love to know.

BE BRAVE AND BE ARTISTIC!
