Gifted Parenting - Parenting a Gifted Child

 
Chronicling my journey as the mother of a gifted child.

Going On A Hiatus

January 4th 2010 13:45
Happy New Year to the whole Orble staff, fellow bloggers, loyal readers and passersby! May 2010 be a meaningful and fruitful year for all of us.

They say the New Year often signals a great change; on that note, I'd like to announce that I'm going on a hiatus from my Orble blogs. There are some ongoing changes in my personal life that needs my attention and as such I can no longer fulfill my duties as an Orble blogger.

This was a hard decision to make, I've been blogging on and off here on Orble for 3 years and I know that if I don't update my blog for a period of time, it will be given to somebody else. I only hope that whoever takes over my blogs (GiftedParenting.Com and FreelanceforLife.Com) that they would pick up where I left off and most importantly, do a better job at growing these blogs


Thank you to all those who left comments, emailed me, visited my blogs regularly and to those who became my blogging buddies. You have certainly enriched my life.

I hate saying goodbyes so I'll just say so long...

This is Hope signing off indefinitely.

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.

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!
