It's just a few days before Christmas loves.  I’m sure most of you who are working had most probably saved your vacation leaves to use them this holiday for that much-awaited vacation, right?  If only I had some more left, I would have done that too, like how I used to do in the past years.  But unfortunately for me, I have used up all my leaves for family getaways.

Have you heard of the old adage "It takes a village to raise a child."?  I believe in this 100% just as much as I believe in the saying that "No man is an island."  As a mom, I definitely have a lot to share to attest to this truth because I have two kids who are seven years apart.  Their gap, would you believe is already almost a generation apart.  One is a tween and the other is a pre-schooler and I've written in the past how difficult it is sometimes to raise children belonging to different stages.  I'd be honest, it drives me crazy and makes me think twice if I am doing it right or not.

If you've been following my blog, you'd know that I am a full-time working mom in a telecommunications industry.  There I'm taught how to be more techie, social, and use the internet wisely.  With this, I've learned that kids of this generation are called "Digital Natives" which my two boys, 9 and 2, are part of.  They are both knowledgeable in the functionality of my mobile phone, my laptop, the LED television, PSP, the X-Box and the use of Internet.

My techie kids.  Mobile and web internet users at an early age.

I am a serious parent when it comes to protecting my kids from internet content by making sure they are exposed only to what's suitable for them.  I have rules and ensure that they are followed.  I allow my kids to embrace the technology but when it boils down to Internet Safety, I could be a bit OC about it.

Here are some household safety standards I enforce when they (particularly my pre-teener) surf the internet:
