My son has learned to thrive and learn with positive reinforcement and discipline. I have stayed away from spanking and physical punishment. Time outs and rewards have worked for me so far. He is getting older and it is hard to keep track of chores as I used to do before. So when I found the FREE online website My Job Chart, I was really happy. It is a free site that allow parents to customize the job chart for the kids age and chores. I like the variety of chores available (house chores and school chores) and the fact the parent can leave notes for their kids. Also the kids get points that they can exchange later at the store. As your kid complete their "jobs", MyJobChart.com keeps track of their earned points and they can convert them into money to save, share or spend. This a really cool site and you can either have your child complete the chart online (they have their password) or you can print it for them and then log them in.
I really like that you can enter your own options of chores, which means that you could use this also with adults. I am thinking honey-do list, what about you?

Tax Season is here and everyone is looking for easy but secure ways to file their taxes. TurboTax announced the launch of the first full mobile tax preparation solution in Spanish: TurboTax SnapTax Filing taxes is something new for me. Taxes work different in Colombia so I am not an expert and I get always confused. So when I heard about the new application I was really interested on learning more about it. With the app that has a feature to change the language to Spanish people would be able to file taxes from their phones or tables, with simply snap a shot (photo) of their W2 and answering some simple questions. Once their review the information they can hit the button “File My Takes” and that is it. It would take them less than 10 minutes to do so. The application is available now for a FREE download at App Store, Google Play Marketplace, Amazon.com and SnapTax.com. You can change the language to Spanish as well The app has security and privacy to make sure your information is confidential and save at all times.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS!! Mami2jcn Elena Henria O. I was invited to the blogger event at Gaüfreé at the Irvine location to sample their menu. And I can tell you that I am really impressed with the concept and the quality of the food. So what is Gaüfreé? It is french for Waffle and it is pronounced "Go Free" At Gaüfreé you will find a great selection of Waffle Sandwich, but the Gaüfreé waffles are made with a yeast dough based variation. This makes the waffle savory, not sweet, no wonder their sandwiches are so good. Gaüfreé uses locally sourced organic ingredients, grass fed beef and free range chicken. So the food not only taste good but it is actually good for you! It is from the farm to the table, and they even made their own sauces. The restaurant also wants to bring people together. With their casual seating arrangements it is easy to connect with the person seating next to you and they even added a "Do you know me" card to every table to facilitate meaningful conversations. Gaüfreé has gluten free options and on their menu they have other meal options such as salads, awesome fries and really yummy desserts. Even the drinks are good. They offer pure cane sugar natural lemonade and Boyland Artisan sodas. If you are looking for something warm they have great cappuccinos and fair trade organic coffee.
