Another month has gone by. Time just flies so fast, and I lost track of it. I can’t even remember the last time I posted something here; it feels like ages since that time. A lot of things happen that take away most of my time. I’m way too exhausted sometimes that remembering to give this blog a visit is quite hopeless. Plus, my kids monopolize the computer and wouldn’t give me a chance to take a glimpse of what is happening in the blogging world. Just lucky I was able to snatch a little time today. So, I will make the most of it.

The first thing I did was for the best valentine’s gift I could give hubby. But, for some reason I find myself looking at polysorb spring washer. On some way I couldn’t get my head out of the things my house needs from the cleaning materials to the replacement parts. I guess that’s just the way things go. Anyway, I’m happy I will end my day being able to at least update this blog.

Happy New Year! It’s been three days since the New Year commence, but I can’t still get over the parties that happened. The thought of it really makes me smile and celebrate again. Unfortunately, it’s time to go back to the real world although there is one more occasion that we will celebrate this month and that it the birthday of my third child.

I’m not sure what to give her a birthday gift; my ideas were all exhausted during the Christmas. If we just have winter, I will give her heated gloves. I came across this at Cozy winter site while surfing the web. This is the one of the perfect gear for the winter riding. Unfortunately, we don’t have winter in this country so I have to forget about it for now. But, it’s good to know this information at least I know where to go and what to buy in case I’ll go skiing in the future.

For now, I will continue my search for the best birthday present I could give my daughter. I don’t have much time so I’ll have to do it fast. Wishing myself some luck for this one.

Oh my! It’s been ages since the last time I posted something here. I got a little busy preparing for Christmas – the gift shopping, the final house decorations, the menu, the games and so much more. Well, it all comes to an end – this year’s Christmas is indeed over. And, now I’m preparing for the New Year, which means house general cleaning. Good thing my kids help me with it so the task is easily done. As for the menu, it’s already made and planned accordingly together with my Christmas planning.

However, I still can’t take a rest. My third child’s birthday is coming January 5th is the date. I thought it would be better to use birthday cupcakes instead of the big one. Sharies Berries offers wonderful selection of tempting birthday cupcakes you can have your cake and eat it from rich and indulgent chocolate cupcakes, light, sweet and creamy vanilla cupcakes, velvety and delicious red velvet cupcakes and more! Why I prefer cupcakes for her birthday because they’re cute, colorful, tasty, sweet, and perfectly sized to enjoy alone. Plus, there’s no hassle in cutting it.

Oh well, I guess that’s it for now. Have a pleasant and prosperous New Year everyone.

I love pancakes and it is not infrequent in our house that pancakes are part of the dinner meal as well as the breakfast meal. And since my three-year-old loves pancakes as much as I do, I can even sneak some healthy ingredients in the batter and she doesn’t even know it. Good tip for all you parents out there who want your kids to eat healthier: if it is in a pancake, your kids just might try it. While I haven t tried this with vegetables (I think even my three-year-old would get wise to peas poking out of her pancake), fruits, oats, and potatoes have all found their way into our pancakes. It is also a quick and easy dinner idea for those nights when you don t feel like taking a lot of time to cook.

• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 egg

Pour the batter onto a heated griddle, flipping it to brown the pancake on both sides. Serves 4. Read the rest of this entry »

Few months ago, one of the boarder’s sister arrived to take the board exam. It’s not her first time, but she is still trying to pass it. I’m sure she will with all the determination and hard work she’s putting into it. We aren’t that close, but I want to share my finds on the net regarding the list of medical jobs.

Actually, I was just looking for nursing jobs on the web for hubby’s sake. It’s unnecessary since he’s giving all his effort to find one, but I want to help. While doing so, I came across the Dental Hygienist Jobs, which reminds me of that girl. Luckily, I know her brother and it’s a great opportunity for her. I’m pretty sure it’s a bad thing to keep such good information in silent. So, I will share it to her; it will be up to her if she finds it useful. At least I share the information that could open great possibilities for her. Well, I just wish her good luck towards the result of the exam.

A different kind of vacation hits my head after reading so many vacation destinations. I can’t help myself, but be interested in spending a day or two in a place different from what I used to have. A magical world like one of those of Disney World hotels vacation perhaps is perfect. By the way, I haven’t been to any Disney world. That is so unfortunate and unlucky of me. Good thing, I can always dream about it, right? Let’s just hope I won’t reach the age when it feels like too awkward going there.
