Finest Post Nominations - September 2021

Viswa, thank you for nominating @1Sandhya's response in Influence Of Friends And Their Accessories On My Kid

Though I've read a lot of helpful parenting resources over the years, no book or parenting blog prepared me for the task of scheduling playdates and dealing with the politics that go along with it. Each potential playdate has its own set of difficulties. Sandhya has given OP there some sound advice on dealing with the play-date buddy and the friend's mother, while taking into account the child's age.

 

It's great to see @1Sandhya writing in the Snippets section! Thank you Laks for nominating Level Up!

It's a message that we all need to hear now and then not to live in the past or to keep reliving it. Sandhya has used the analogy of a poker game to illustrate her point: a new day implies new cards, and the old ones are gone. My takeaway was that, just as we move on from losses after learning a lesson, we shouldn't dwell on our wins or successes for too long.

 

Decluttering provides both visible and intangible advantages. The cleaner home with easy to find items is just the first result. Among the hidden benefits are a sense of accomplishment, a reduction in stress, and a feeling of control. And the donated items go to someone who can put them to good use.

I liked reading @Needtobestrong's Decluttering And Organising - Lessons Learnt. And it also lead to tips and useful do’s and don’ts pouring in from others. My little personal success at decluttering has been a paperless desk, no post-it's, and very little visible paper at home in general.
