Presenting My Newest Blog

September 16th 2008 14:08

I've finally decided to add another blog here on Orble which will be quite different from my original blog. As you can see, this particular blog is dedicated to parenting and other family-friendly interests. My other blog however, aims to help those who are thinking of telecommuting, freelancing or working from home. I already have a few posts up, you can check it out on the Freelance for Life blog.

My aim is to post on this new blog at least 2x per week about tips & advice as well as current job leads. Of course I will still maintain my GiftedParenting blog with fresh posts during the weekdays.

I hope you'll find the Freelance for Life blog helpful.

4 Days in 1 Post

April 17th 2008 00:48

It's been a pretty hectic week for me and as a result I've been neglecting this blog for a few days. So to make up for lost time...here are 4 days worth of blog entries in 1 post.

In the News:

Apparently there's a tv show in the UK called Child Genius, a show which follows 10 gifted kids and how they go about their daily lives. The show's twist is that it will attempt to follow these kids into adulthood. Hmmm. that'll make a very long tv series to follow but it would be interesting to see if they can indeed do this.

Has anyone here seen the show? I haven't but they have a website here.

Freebies

Free Premarin Cool Down Kit

Free Sample of UniFiber

Free 5-pack of Accu-Check Aviva Skins

Free Alaway Eye Drops

Free sample of Curel Life's Stages

Website of the Week

I really like the Berenstain Bears book series, my daughter has read several of them and each book is filled with valuable lessons. They have a website where kids can play a variety of online games and print out activities they can do offline. Visit the Berenstain Bears website here.

Video of the Week

Brain Pop has many different videos that are all educational. Choose from Science, Social Studies, English, Math, Arts & Music, Health and Technology and let the learning begin. Visit Brain Pop here.

Overhaulin'

March 27th 2008 00:28

I felt Gifted Parenting needs some tweaking to accommodate a cornucopia of topics that my regular visitors, parents especially, might find interesting. So to better serve my audience, (yes, I'm talking to the 10 or so of you

) I decided to dedicate each day of the week to a specific topic.

Beginning this week, Mondays will be about gifted kids in the news, Tuesdays will be dedicated to freebies, Wednesdays will feature a website that is kid-friendly, Thursdays will spotlight cool, family-friendly videos, and Fridays will be my personal sharing for the week. I'd probably be offline on the weekends but I'll post when I have something juicy to share.

Why do you blog?

October 27th 2007 22:20

Blogging networks are sprouting like daisies in springtime and many writers are itching to get started blogging. In truth though, blogging takes a lot of commitment, like a child you must nurture your blog so that it can grow. That's why before signing up for a blog or sending in that application to be a blogger, one must ask him/herself:

Why do I want to blog?

It's Been A While

August 1st 2007 15:37

Wow, it's been a while since I last blogged here. Thankfully my account hasn't been suspended as I had every intention of going back to blogging once the dust settled. I've mentioned in my past entries that my eldest brother died and I had to attend to some family matters. The upside is that I've managed to lose weight, not because of dieting but because of stress. I wouldn't recommend stress as a healthy way to lose weight though.

Anyway, how's everyone? I see there are still some bloggers I know (aka: the originals)who are still religiously updating their blogs and I can see many new bloggers around. Boy, I've missed Orble and I'm glad to be back!
