| Hey, remember that 2-weeks worth of free coffee I posted a few days back? Well, I finally got mine! Yeah, I now have 14 packets of instant Taster's Choice coffee. What the heck am I going to do with it all? I don't drink instant coffee. I guess it's good to have around in case I run out of the real stuff :)
Anyway, the deal's for real! Current Mood:  groggy Current Music: Kids are playing "Kingdom Hearts" in the background |

| You know, I always thought that a child didn't have to use a car seat once they turn 5. LeiLani uses one, but it's only because she's not tall enough to see out the window. However, today I found out different.

Well, here's a little help, thanks to "Better Homes & Gardens". Take this quiz and let the decorating begin:

a piece of advice...don't sign up for all those stupid surveys and freebie pages online. nothing's free. you have to apply for crap before you can get anything and almost everything you apply for requires a credit card (which i don't have). it's crazy. how can they call it free if you're paying s&h? that's still paying for something...isn't it?
anyway, i have some interesting stuff for you parents that has to do with valentine's (you know, this coming monday).
14 Ways to Show Love for Your Child This Valentine's Day
* Use plenty of positive words with your child.
* Respond promptly and lovingly to your child's physical and emotional needs and
banish put-downs from your parenting vocabulary.
* Make an extra effort to set a good example at home and in public. Use words
like "I'm sorry," "please," and "thank you."
* When your child is angry, argumentative or in a bad mood, give him a hug,
cuddle, pat, secret sign or other gesture of affection he favors.
* Use non-violent forms of discipline. Parents should institute both rewards and
restrictions many years before adolescence to help prevent trouble during the
teenage years. Allowing children of any age to constantly break important rules
without being disciplined only encourages more rule violations.
* Make plans to spend time alone with your young child or teen doing something
she enjoys.
* Schedule family meetings on a regular basis where everyone can talk about the
week's events, share good news, give praise, set expectations, etc. Keep them
brief - 15 to 20 minutes, longer if desired. Everyone should get input and
airtime, but Mom and Dad have the final say.
* One of the best ways to familiarize your child with good food choices is to
encourage him to cook with you. Let him get involved in the entire process, from
planning the menus to shopping for ingredients to the actual food preparation
and its serving.
* As your child grows up, she'll spend most of her time developing and refining
a variety of skills and abilities in all areas of her life. You should help her
as much as possible by encouraging her and providing the equipment and
instruction she needs.
* Your child's health depends significantly on the care and guidance you offer
during his early years. By taking your child to the doctor regularly for
consultations, keeping him safe from accidents, providing a nutritious diet, and
encouraging exercise throughout childhood, you help protect and strengthen his
body.
* Regardless of whether you actively try to pass on your values and beliefs to
your child, she is bound to absorb some of them just by living with you. She'll
notice how disciplined you are in your work, how deeply you hold your beliefs
and whether you practice what you preach.
* Help your child develop self-esteem by offering steady support and
encouragement. He needs you to believe in him as he learns to believe in
himself. Loving him, spending time with him, listening to him and praising his
accomplishments are all part of this process.
* Don't forget to say, "I love you" to children of all ages!

if you're anything like me, grocery shopping is your biggest dieting nightmare. so, i decided to share this tip with everyone:
Don’t Go Hungry!
It’s best if you don’t go when you’re too hungry. Have a slice of cheese and turkey, with a diet soda before leaving the house. That way you won’t be as tempted to buy those fresh baked chocolate chip cookies :)
