Helping Parents Succeed
For once, I talk about something else: fitness. A happy family starts with a healthy family. If you drag yourself to do exercise or simply can’t make exercise a long term habit, this maybe a useful read.
Check out my guest post on Scott Young’s blog:

Digital cameras are everywhere. Even cell phones can be used to snap photos.
The side effect of this amazing technology is we don’t have the chance to display the photos – each and every one of them.
Reasons?
1) Too lazy to send them for printing.
2) Don’t know which pictures to print. I have hundreds of them, if not thousands.
To be fair, even though we’d have printed them all, where do we hang them? Our little house has definitely insufficient space. Never mind about the costs.
Worry not, there’s a solution. We can solve this by using one of the many digital photo frames.
You upload a collection of digital photos to the memory of the digital photo frame. The pictures are displayed automatically and changed based on a time interval set by you.
Isn’t that cool? Now you can display all your photos with just one photo frame.
A quick check at Amazon.com reveals that the price range is from $70 to $200. Sounds expensive but this seems like a more practical solution.
Not only that, digital photo frame makes a perfect gift too.
Many say parenting is tough job.
Don’t take it too seriously and give yourself a break by watching this hilarious video.
"Mommy caught naughty Baby Maybelline red-handed going through her make up drawer. The kid got powder, eye shadow, and lipstick all over her face. Sitting on the floor in her mess, singing her sad song, the brat wonders how mom’s going to punish her this time."
Poor Maybelline…wonder what will her mother get her after this.

This is a damn cool idea. Never crossed my mind. I think it works very well if you’re not doing a BIG business in the toilet.
The result? A slimmer water bill and you do your bit to save the environment.
I found this clip through Tiffany. Watch it and do it today. And it’s easier than you think. It adds up quite a bit if you have 5 bathrooms!
Watch: Save Water and Money
Call me cheapskate, I don’t really spend much on my children. Even when my wife and I buy toys or clothes for them, we think REAL hard.
Okay, to be fair, we do spend on items that we think are important like books. But not thousands of dollars on your child’s first and second birthdays.
Are you spending too much on your children and sacrifice your own needs like retirement?
If you are, you may want to do something about it. Trent of The Simple Dollar has written an excellent article on this.
But first, does spending less on your child mean you don’t love him?
Trent has this to say, “My job as a parent is to love my child, yes. But another big part of my job as a parent – and perhaps even more important – is to teach my child how to be a successful, functional person.”
In the article, you’ll find out Trent’s five basic principles about money, for parents:
I love this article. You have to read it to find out why.
