Keeping Files and Documents

Friday, July 30th, 2010

One of the things I need to learn to keep our house organized is also to know how to keep files and documents properly. I’ve always planned to set aside an afternoon or so to solely organize our files like receipts, warranty cards, certificates and such but as usual some other ‘more’ important things come [...]

My Coin Collector

Friday, July 30th, 2010

We have coins almost everywhere in our house. We actually have a place where we put our coins. That’s on top of the shelf. And then, we have our ‘coin collector’ who likes to touch the coins and collect them. And after collecting them, he then throws them all away! I wonder if he will [...]

Online Conveniences

Friday, July 30th, 2010

The online world has so much to offer for us these days that we need not go outside our doorsteps anymore to get what we need or want. I’ve just found out that not only online purchases can be convenient but can also be much cheaper than the ‘real’ stores outside our homes. There are [...]

No Time For Exercise

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

I’m looking forward for the time when I can get back to exercise. I don’t have much time to exercise these days, and even if I do, it seems like I’ve already lost my momentum. I’m usually like this when my routine gets disrupted. Now, it will take more effort and motivation for me to [...]

Part Time ‘Househelp’

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

My Hubby asked me again whether I want to hire a part time househelp. He asked me this  question a few years back when my 1st child was still a baby. And now with 2 kids, homeschooling and other responsibilities, he feels that a part time househelp might be helpful.
I don’t really know the details [...]

Online Business

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

Every now and then, I always think of setting up an online business. I still haven’t tried out ebay yet. But my idea is selling some items from Thailand that are unique yet affordable. This online business is just floating on my mind but I still don’t have any idea on how to go about [...]

Feels Like A Saturday

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

Today is a Sunday but it feels more like a Saturday for me. I guess  it’s because of the coming two days holiday starting tomorrow. It’s nice to have long weekends. I get to relax a bit and not think about our girl’s school work, uniforms and homeschool.I hope there will be more long weekends. [...]

9th Birthday

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

My niece is turning 9 years old this next week ( 3rd of August). Her birthday is actually a day after my birthday. Anyways, we’re planning to do something special for her. I saw this Princess Ice Cream cake from DQ and I’m planning to buy one for her as a surprise. It’ll be nice [...]

Budgeting and More

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

I noticed that our grocery expenses are getting higher and higher each month. So, I did a little evaluation and try to see whether there are items we bought that are a ‘luxury’ or impractical for us. But then, most of the things we buy are food items and therefore not a luxury. One very [...]

The Original Handyman

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

The original handy man has come- my brother. I’m saying that he’s the original handyman because it was only after seeing him that my husband got motivated to become a handyman himself.:)
And true enough, on day one since the original handyman has arrived, he already thought of ways to store the bicycles that are all [...]
