Every Afternoon.

stage mom — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 07:48:50 +0000

This is the scene every afternoon in our house – the kids playing at our mini playground. We all can’t wait until the little boy is big enough to walk and run around with his achie. I bet it will be a riot – a happy one at that.

Simply looking at them is bliss. People who don’t have kids yet won’t probably understand but those that do I’m sure can relate. Kids are every parent’s everything. Agree?

I’m getting all mushy here and I don’t know why. Lack of sleep, maybe? Haha. The little boy has colds again so he hasn’t been sleeping well at night. So you see, been awake most nights lately which is why I got to blog a little and was even able to check out Titan luggage. Downside is, I think I’m going to get sick now. Ugh!

Let’s swim!

My daughter loves to swim. And since we don’t have a pool in the house, she has to make do with our tiny tub, haha. Of course, swimming in a tub is no excuse not to wear a swimming outfit, right? So here she is, in her swimsuit and all on a lazy Monday morning.

Now, imagine if we do have a pool in the house. You think it’ll be worth it? I bet! I’d probably even join the little girl, haha. Or on a second thought, I probably won’t as I am afraid of the sun bwahahaha. Let me just stay on the pool furniture then while watching the little girl enjoy the pool. Yeah, wishful thinking! LOL.

Home Alarm.

stage mom — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 05:57:27 +0000

About a year ago, Jon and I decided to invest in a home alarm system. We’ve heard so much horror stories of houses being burglarized and worst, the owners / occupants being killed during the process so we had ours installed. To date, we personally know of three families who had burglar attacks in their homes. Its really alarming and scary. Although we have very tight security in the village, we still opted to shell out money for the alarm system. Wouldn’t you for your own peace of mind? Here’s what ours look like …

We’ve had our share of false alarms, more than a share I think, ang daming times pala, haha. But we don’t mind at all. Better safe than sorry.

I need a new sink.

stage mom — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 08:01:23 +0000

I love to cook. Although I’m not really good at it, I still love to try! Last Christmas, I did almost all the cooking. Although the dishes I whipped were nothing really fancy, I’m still proud as they tasted good. Well, the husband said so and I believe him. LOL.

It has been ages since the last time I cooked and used my kitchen actually as I have just given birth a month ago. And since my helpers use the dirty kitchen when cooking, nobody knew that my kitchen sink was broken and already needs replacement. So now I am looking at Copper Kitchen Sinks over the net as I have read good feedback about Copper Sinks. And style wise, I think, a Copper Sink will be a nice touch to my very modern kitchen. I hope I could find and order one online before New Year’s Eve as I am planning on hosting a small party for friends on New Years Eve. I’ll do the cooking again, of course. Wish me luck!

Early Christmas Gift(s).

Santa has been extra generous. He was also a week and a half early in giving the little girl one of her ~~many~~ gifts this Christmas. Look!

It now completes the set.

My gift has arrived too aside from the digital frame I requested and got early last week. Will post it next with a photo too of course.

One Sunday.

Days before I gave birth, Jon, the little girl and I were all over the place looking for a theater like chair for Jon’s office. He recently replaced his 32 inch LCD TV with a bigger plasma thats why. The smaller LCD is now in Mateo’s room, the nursery downstairs. Here’s the daddy and the little girl trying one of the chairs we saw after we heard the Sunday mass …

(from my cellphone)

And the “ate”.

We also saw some snow chains but of course we don’t need any so we didn’t bother to take time to look. We didn’t take the chair by the way. We instead got the black one – a La-Z-Boy wannabe hahaha.

Our Mooncake Festival.

stage mom — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 06:16:33 +0000

We celebrated our Mooncake Festival with friends last Saturday. Thanks to Jacqui for organizing it. And since it was Jon who won the grand prize last year, we were in charge of the food. Anyway, here are some photos I grabbed from a friend’s multiply account.

We finished really late and I wasn’t able to sleep after, ugh! I hope I won’t develop acne in time for my mom’s 50th birthday party this Friday.

Yearning for a repeat?

I was telling the husband last night while watching Mama Mia on DVD that if ever we do decide to get married again, I would love to have those what they call destination weddings, a far cry from the very traditional wedding we had four years ago. I bet such weddings as offered by Superclubs Resort will be so much fun as you get a fantastic view which makes the most memorable day in a woman’s life more unforgettable and romantic.

To top such wonderful wedding ceremony, a well planned honeymoon from a honeymoon all inclusive resort is something every couple will look forward to. Couples can opt to visit resorts such as Grand Lido Resorts & Spas, Negril Beach Villas, Breezes Resorts, Hedonism Resorts, and Starfish Trelawny Resort which are all top quality resorts. I bet even the not so beach lover like me would appreciate these resorts. But since we are nowhere near getting married again soon, I guess what is realistic to look at now are the discount vacation packages from such resorts for our growing family. I wish we could soon plan a getaway in these wonderful resorts.

We want peace of mind.

The husband and I have long been contemplating on getting our house insured. I know we should have done this sooner as home insurance is very important but for some reason we haven’t, yet. We are dead serious on getting one now after hearing so many testimonials from other people about how their insurance actually saved them. You see, accidents do happen no matter how preventive we try to be so we can really never be sure. A home insurance will somehow give us peace of mind, don’t you think?

Right now, I have been asking around for cheap home insurance available which led me to a home insurance quotes comparison site, the great place to find cheap home insurance. At Money.co.uk, The money comparison experts, one can get the best home insurance quotes available over the net fast and easy. They have a list of top online deals from the best house insurance providers so finding the right cover for our home is very simple, hassle free and most especially, cheap. We can also find the latest Home Insurance news in their site so we can be up to date and read more on home insurance. Such articles are very helpful especially for first timers like us. You will surely learn a thing or two. So if you ever feel the need to finally get your house insured and get your peace of mind, you should know where to go. We do.

The perfect mattress.

stage mom — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 05:47:21 +0000

I have always wanted to get one of those Latex Mattresses I see online for they are said to give remarkable comfort and support. For some reason, I haven’t had the time to get myself one but now that I am pregnant, I almost always wake up with a backache so I have never been convinced to invest on a good mattress than now. As I did my research, Natural Care bed by Danny Seo carries the Latex Mattress I am looking for. But more than that, The Natural Care collection from Natural Care Bed is an eco-friendly sleep system that features a natural rubber tree based latex layer made from biodegradable materials like rubber tree sap and a layer of base foam enhanced with soy. Not only is the latex supremely comfortable, supportive and to top it off, built to last as Natural Care latex mattresses have a 20-year limited warranty, it is also inherently resistant to dust mites, mold and mildew. Now, after reading that, it seems like I’ll truly be enjoying a relaxing sleep as such mattress helps eliminate pressure points across your entire body and it being good for the environment too. Who wouldn’t want that? I definitely do!
