The week just breezed through and another month is almost over. So I will also report on our statistics for the month of February in a separate post.

In Parenting Journey, Rica Emmanuele posted her first book report online- Island of the Blue Dolphins: A Review. She has written a couple of book reports for school but we thought it would encourage her to read and write more if she finds her work online. Indeed, she was very excited and plans to submit to us another report for posting online this coming week.

Mama Sez also followed through with her commitment to post the second article for the series on discipline methods with Discipline Methods: Merits and Demerits last Friday.  She also recounted certain challenges, that are at the same time blessings, of parenting in Looking on the Bright Side of Life and Hair Cut at Mama Sez's Hair Salon.  A short blog on Countdown Adjustment was posted to explain the change we had to make on the countdown widget.

In Fatherhood Adventures, after the Review of Our Popular Pages and Weekly Highlights 1, there were only two posts: on promoting the Island Travel Guess Where We Are Contest and celebrating Mama Sez's latest feat at HubPages. 

At HubPages, Mama Sez has published four hubs:

• Why I Love Summer
• Mother’s Day for Me, My Mom and Mothers around the World
• Nintendo DSi: to Buy or not to Buy? 
• Buy Collectible Insect Mugs Online
  

In trying to come up with details of our plans for Island Travel: Our Summer Family Vacation, we posted our decision to proceed with the road trip but Lolo will have to fly to Manila, a wish to visit Sohoton Cove in Siargao, Surigao del Norte, and a desire to have at least one camping out during our sixty-day travel.

For the happiness blogs, here are last week's:

HAPPY IMAGES:

HAPPY QUOTES:

"Love, you know, seeks to make happy rather than to be happy." -Ralph Connor

 "Only when it is a duty to love, only then is love eternally and happily secured against despair." -Kierkegaard

At last, after a few weeks of trying, Mama Sez broke the 90 mark today in her hubber score!  This figure is between 0 and 100 and represents the overall quality of activities of a writer/member, most especially the hubs (=articles) published at HubPages.  Being in the 90s is especially significant as some of her hubs may now be featured at the front page of HubPages.  This would mean extra exposure of her work, and consequently a chance to improve traffic to her hubs even more.

Actually, she has tasted 90 a few weeks back but only for a few hours as the hubber score really fluctuates.  Today is different as the fluctuation is well within 90 and 91, convincingly not a fluke.

We think these five of her most recently published hubs prop her score up with their popularity within the community and outside as seen in the incoming traffic and comments posted:

1. Weddings: Interesting Facts and Trivia from Around the World
2. Why I Love Summer 
3. Mother’s Day for Me, My Mom and Mothers around the World 
4. Nintendo DSi: to Buy or not to Buy? 
5. Wedding Traditions from Around the World

So true to Happiness Tip # 61 Celebrate Small Successes, let us congratulate her and you bet we would have a nice dinner and lively nightly gratitude ritual tonight.

Hurray to Mama Sez!!!  Excellent work!
