Miley Cyrus to Auction Her Wardrobe

Miley Cyrus is cleaning out her closet — for a good cause.

She's just announced plans to auction off her clothing and 

accessories on eBay. The proceeds will benefit Get Ur Good 

On, a social network aimed at connecting youth with

volunteer and service opportunities in and around their 

communities.

"For me I get this amazing blessing and opportunity to do 

this every day and get up on stage and hopefully inspire 

people with my music," Cyrus said in a video message posted 

on the Get Ur Good On site. "And that's something that's 

really important to me, but so is getting involved in 

charities."

The new auction is just the latest charity endeavor she's 

undertaken with Youth Service America, the organization that 

runs Get Ur Good On. Earlier this summer, she served as a 

spokesperson for YSA's "Blessings in a Backpack" mission, 

which provides weekend meals to children on free- or reduced-

lunch programs.

"There's amazing charities right here in America. You don't 

have to travel 30 hours ... you don't have to give a billion 

dollars. It's not about how much or how far, it's about 

looking at your neighbours and seeing how you can help," 

Cyrus said. "This isn't just stuff that's all over the world, 

it's right here, it's right next to you. It's 

important to get involved.

Building your child's self esteem

As a mother to 2 girls a tween and a teen I have decided 

to blog about what is important to me and what I find helps 

me try and be a better parent, with my finds online, from 

the media and other resources. If there is anything you 

would like me to write about please feel free to email me 

at tweengloss@hotmail.com.

PART 1 High Self Esteem

It is important that we as parents help build our 

children's self esteem.

What is self esteem? 

Self esteem is having confidence about your self worth 

or abilities. Having self respect and being assertive in 

everything you do. It is the way you look at yourself and 

the personal opinion you have which is a key to happiness 

and success. To feel good about yourself.If you feel 

confident and good about yourself you have high self esteem, 

if you feel bad about yourself and have no confidence you 

have low self esteem.

High self esteem is

::feeling that you are a good person

::believing in yourself

::looking forward to a good future

::feeling energetic and hopeful

::having the confidence that you have the power to 

make a difference

::joining in with others

::respecting other's differences and your own

Self esteem is HOW YOU SEE YOURSELF AS A PERSON

Healthy Habits

Going through my favourite blogs this morning and I 

found this topic Jennifer Garner Hopes Healthy Habits Will 

Rub Off on Daughters. This strung a cord in my mind and got 

me thinking what do you pack for your children's lunches to 

take to school and what snacks do you provide for them after 

school?

I like to see myself as a fairly healthy eater with a few 

indulgences here and there.(I love potato crisps)I feel it 

is so important to make sure that healthy eating is shown 

every day by yourselves as parents so your children have 

healthy habits too.

What are some ways you encourage your children to eat 

healthier?

I try tell my daughters that breakfast is important to get 

your day going and encourage them to eat a healthy breakfast 

which normally consists of cereal throughout the school week 

and french toast or pancakes with fruit (normally 

strawberries or bananas) with the occasional bacon and eggs.

For lunches the girls normally have a bread roll with a 

healthy topping (cheese and beetroot) their favourite at the 

moment, with a piece of fruit and a few treats like tiny 

teddies and shapes.

After school snacks are where I let my girls choose what 

they like sometimes crackers with vegemite or cheese. Most 
of the time they eat potato crisps or whatever I have baked 
at home.

Dinner time is where I like to serve meat with 3-4 different 

vegetables. We are a big chicken family. We love homemade 

schnitzel with potato bake and broccoli and cauliflower with

a cheese sauce.

I would love you to leave your comments on how you encourage 

your children to eat healthy.
