It's cliche, but I'd like to put an emphasis on "opportunity knocks once". A reputable company invited me to work as one of their copywriters and I badly want the job. Here's the issue: I have toddlers. They are ages 34 months...

Fam Idea As a freelance writer, I am also an entrepreneur. I manage all my schedules, I am the "boss", and I am in control of everything. Sounds promising but that does not happen all the time. Every startup always comes with a risk. I could try what you're...

Fam Idea yes, it's not so expensive to get a nanny. I grew up with house helpers, too.that's because my mother has always been a career woman.

Fam Idea The company caters to foreign clients so they do have graveyard shifts. I can work at night while they're asleep. Then if the office has a sleeping area (like the company I worked for before), then I could sleep like 4 to 5 hours after duty before coming home....

Fam Idea Yes. If you have little kids then you surely understand how challenging it is to work. My kids' noise distracts me a lot and I find it hard to concentrate on writing.

I did some changes with my schedule and I find it effective! Everybody's asleep. No distractions at all. I was able to finish my task faster.

Fam Idea I also tried that, but it does not always work for me. I'm a mom of two toddlers and I don't have a nanny. So I always take the opportunity to work when they're asleep.

I'm so guilty I failed my no-carb diet last month. I can say even without weighing in the scale that I gained weight. Now I came across this General Motor's (GM) diet plan and this really caught my attention. It promises RAPID...

Fam Idea @artemeis I have friends who are Muslims and they are very nice and respectful. I am not sure if this is part of their teachings. If it is then I strongly believe that this should be addressed.

Fam Idea With that, I just realized that we should go on a date again, just us without the kids. That's how we could reunite again as husband and wife. Hopefully, we could. We have toddlers right now and it's not easy to plan a date without including them. Still,...

Fam Idea Wow. 43 years is like a lot! A lot of years of love. I like it when you said that you've been hanging out with the same group of friends before you got together. My husband and I were friends, too before we became lovers but we didn't have the same group of...

Fam Idea @Auntylou I also learned that from my mom. She said it's always good to keep my own money, not just for emergency but also for the things that I'd like to buy for my self that I will be shy to ask from my husband.
