Finally it's spring time here in New Zealand, time to start going out in the garden and plant some flowers. I really don't like winter, it's super cold and it seems like it slow me down because I feel like I wanted to be like a bear "Hibernate all the time" hahaha!. Anyways, I managed to get out and do something with kids during winter and even inside the house we still have some fun … in this photo I made a gloop for them to play and it's very effective it kills time :)
I include the recipe to make a gloop (For Mum who like to try this for their kids)
You require:
2 cups of cornflour
1 cup of cold water.
Pour the cornflour into a bowl and slowly add the cold water, stirring constantly. Stop when the water is barely absorbed by the cornflour.
Try to use your hands to see it yourself it feels funny and hard but it's runny…it's a funny feeling.
I hope you like it.
…Now, I look forward for the summer or at least the middle of spring it is going to be sunny and good to play outside with kids.
Gush, it's been a while since i posted -- i got busy with my kids and now i am working at home looking after children. This is a good choice for me because i can earn money and at the same time i can spend time with my 2 years old girl, i make new friends and joined some conference so i can say this is good because it is keeping me in healthy condition and keeps me sane hahaha!.

Wife Earn More than Hubby, Can you Handle The Family Pressure? 13.5.2009 22:49:0 +0000 How much of a career woman are you? There is always a topic when it comes with the couple where the wife earn more than the husband and many times it create pressure in the relationship.
I am not saying it happened to all couple, i am not working and stay at home mum my husband is the sole provider in my family. For some husband they are supposedly the breadwinner then here comes the wife found a job -- got promoted and now earning huge amount compare to hubby; At the first stage of couples life they're both fine then started small fights, then constant fight to big fight ... their are women who do not know how to handle situation like this but, instead intimidate the hubby, rubbing in their face that they earn more than him ouch!...of course Situation like this sure will start the fire, there are man who are intimidated when the wife is the one who brings more food on the table for some they can't be bothered or do not care but for some husband this is big deal. I would like to discuss about how much of a pressure can be when the wife earned more than the husband, i have seen a lot of couple where when the women get a better job and earn better than hubby automatically get this feeling that in their home she have more earning that means she have more power over the head of the family. I was watching in the discovery where the mother is very quite sort of person until she was given a power to lead their group she became scary monster she was very aggressive, demanding and she's taking advantage of the power she's holding and that apply with some women in the family when the wife holds that position and i think this is wrong, the husband should receive the same respect, equal treatment no matter what the amount of money you bring in the house. There are husband that are not bothered but for wife who think that this bothers their husband then i think you have to learn how to handle this situation.
I know in this generation their are more career women than before, women want to help the husband but some have not handle this very well and ended up annulment/divorce, some women handles this very well and make the family more productive and more abundant than ever.
Have you experience this? please share your thoughts.
Oxford and Cambridge have now decided to remove the words CAN'T and IMPOSSIBLE from their dictionary.
Jessica Cox, 25, a girl born without arms, stands inside an aircraft. The girl from Tucson, Arizona got the Sport Pilot certificate lately and became the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet. Jessica Cox of Tucson was born without arms, but that has only stopped her from doing one thing: using the word "can't."
Her latest flight into the seemingly impossible is becoming the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet. With one foot manning the controls and the other delicately guiding the steering column, Cox, 25, soared to achieve a Sport Pilot certificate. Her certificate qualifies her to fly a light-sport aircraft to altitudes of 10,000 feet. "She's a good pilot. She's rock solid," said Parrish Traweek, 42, the flying instructor at San Manuel's Ray Blair Airport.
Parrish Traweek runs PC Aircraft Maintenance and Flight Services and has trained many pilots, some of whom didn't come close to Cox's abilities. "When she came up here driving a car," Traweek recalled, "I knew she'd have no problem flying a plane."
Doctors never learned why she was born without arms, but she figured out early on that she didn't want to use prosthetic devices. Jessica Cox, 25, earned a license to fly airplanes on October 10, 2008. Jessica also has two black belts in Tae Kwan-Do, a college degree in Psychology, and a thriving career as a motivational speaker. What doesn't Jessica Cox have? Arms.A bilateral congenital limb deficiency doesn't stop Ms. Cox from achieving and surpassing her goals. From birth on, her feet became her hands. She can drive a car, type 25 words per minute, and fly an airplane using her feet, without any special adaptations. She is the first woman without arms to earn a license to fly.
"I highly encourage people with disabilities to consider flying," Cox said. "It helps reverse the stereotype that people with disabilities are powerless into the belief that they are powerful and capable of setting high goals and achieving them."
Jessica earned her Sport Pilot certificate after training with Able Flight, a North Carolina flight training company that specializes in helping people with disabilities learn to fly. Ms. Cox won an Able Flight scholarship and was able to train with instructor Parrish Traweek free of charge.
