Pollution is currently widespread in our surroundings today. In order for us to help reduce risks for power shortage, every household needs to do their part. Every time you use power like electricity, you are also burning fuel in power plants. Thus when you save electricity, you are reducing air pollution. Below are some tips on saving electricity at home.
1. Turn off lights when no one is using them, like in an empty room.
2. Replace incandescent lamps with energy saving compact fluorescent lamps.
3. Unplug appliances when not in use.
4. Do not put uncovered liquid in your refrigerator as this will give more work to your compressor.
5. When using the washing machine, do laundry in full load.
6. Hang your clothes to dry whenever possible.
So bottom line is conserve power to make mother Earth a whole lot better for everybody

Garage Child Friendly Tips
Having a two year old child at home, the first concern is how to make my home child friendly. I often forget to notice that my garage is part of my home. My son will most likely accompany us wherever we go. Here are some tips that could save you and your family from garage related accident.
1. Vehicle – Always keep the doors and trunk of your vehicle close and lock. Keys must not be left inside the vehicle. Store the vehicle key away from children’s reach. Never start or operate the vehicle when children are present inside the garage without adult supervision, they should either be inside the vehicle or outside the garage. Check your vehicle regularly for oil leaks that may spill over the garage floor.
2. Tools – Make sure that every single tool, regardless of its size is out of children’s reach. If you have any tools that are hanging, make sure that it won’t fall on children.
3. Toxic Materials – These comprise of chemicals like paints, thinners, laundry detergents and the likes. These items are ideally store on shelves out of children’s reach.
4. Child own equipment – Bikes, toys and special clothing materials that are stored in a garage should be placed on an area that is only accessible by an adult.
5. Special Item – Always keep a handy fire extinguisher and a first aid kit in your garage away from children’s reach. You never know when an emergency situation will arise.
6. Garage Door – Always have your garage door checked annually by trained professionals.
I would like to stress that making your home child friendly is not only a task for families with children, but also for families that expect a child to visit them.

Introducing Will
Written by my husband about our baby.
On the night of March 11, 2008, I became one of the happiest persons on earth. My wife bore me a son at 10:23 pm, we named him Will.
Upon seeing this wonderful creation of love, my angel, all things seem to have matter not, all trouble seems to ease. He was the smallest of all the babies in the nursery weighting only 5 lbs and 9 oz, when he was brought up to my wife’s hospital room to be breastfed, we were afraid to touch and hold him as he look so fragile, and the reality set in that we will be responsible for him, to feed and nurture him while in this fragile state. He was breastfed for 1 month before we started alternating baby milk formula with breast milk in preparation, since my wife have to go back to work in 2 months time. The first few months pass by with ease, as Will slept most of the time and when he did wake up all he want was milk.
Time passed and he began to develop his own personality, his first smile was on March 15, 2008, when family and friends visited us in our home. One thing I can say he likes to do things on his own, he held his own bottle when he was 1 month and 15 days old; we were very excited and amazed then.
We started introducing fruits, boiled vegetable and porridge when he was 4 months old, about the same time he started to roll over on his own.
On his 7th month, he uttered his first word “pa pa”, which we heard a lot of in the succeeding weeks. I think he notice the joy he brings every time he utter those words, as we will all be smiling and encouraging him to speak, from a simple “pa pa” he begun uttering “pa pa pa pa pa”.
On his 9th month, for the first time he was able to stand on his own inside the crib, here he started practicing walking on back and forth. Whether you believe it or not, Will learned how to walk before he was able to crawl. His favorite toy was a plastic remote keyless entry key. He enjoyed playing with it, since he likes the squeaking sound it makes when you press on a button.
On his 15th month, after a few broken cell phones and controllers, he has this unique game to hide things like his pacifier, keys and cell phones. When you are able to find it, he will give you his cutest smile and next time he will find another hiding place for them.
On his 16th month, he started to show some fascination with how things work. Most of the time, we can see him looking at joints of chairs or table and wondering how they are put together. A couple of times he successfully remove a screw from a wrought iron chair and it surprise me at the same time scared me, by this I started checking every screw if they were tight.
On his 18th month, he started with tantrums attacks; every time he is in this state we hug him tight to comfort him. At present he is addicted to TV Commercials, he would sit attentively every time a commercial is played on TV.
Will is my angel and my life.
