Oggling Furniture

Get a load of this discount furniture stores. Everyone knows I'm addicted to furniture that I allot 1 hour a day just to browse through online catalogs. If only I can achieve the look and feel of the bedroom below, I'd be happy to stay inside our bedroom forever.

I'm very particular with dark cabinets and tables to bring out the earthy tones of a room. However, now that I have a little girl, I would want to see a lot of white on the cabinets, bed, windows and vanity table. I'll be using a lot of pink and green on her room and the white will definitely compliment it.

Trendy Mommy

A fabulous outfit is always an effective pick-me-up. I've always believed that whenever you feel down, there's nothing that a good pair of jeans or shoes couldn't do. Which is why when I got pregnant, I made sure not to wear those goody-goody, matron-looking maternity clothes. Kiki's Fashions is a good place to shop for sexy and trendy maternity apparel. They have tank tops that enhances your new curves, sexy baby doll and date-night dress for special occassions and comfortable yet flattering jeans to keep your legs slim. You don't have to settle for boring outfits just because you're pregnant. Kiki's fashions are so affordable that you can save a lot of cash while looking good. This is the most special time of your life, so everything should be memorable and fun!

Garage Sales

Another neighbor had a garage sale yesterday. I found out about this from our helper who loves bargains. I don't know how she does it but she seems to know every garage sale that's being held in our village. Anyway, I was able to buy some original TV series DVDs - prison break season 1 and 2, grey's anatomy season 1 and 2 and heroes season 1. They were selling a lot of stuff including major appliances. I took a quick peek just in case I see something that I like. There were dvd players, TV sets, refrigerators, beds, cabinets, an entire cookware set and even a quoizel lighting and grand piano. All of them are in mint condition and I would've bought several if only we have enough space. Our helper bought almost half of the pile of clothes, which according to her will be shipped to her relatives in the province.

The one with the short dress

I had another photo shoot with the little girl wearing her old dress. It's one of my favorites so I told her to wear it again just for picture taking. After putting it on, she immediately looked for her pink havs and went outside to "pose".

I usually take her photo when she's playing outside so she'll find enough things to get busy with.

No such as thing as dumb

When I visited my parent's house last month, my 10-year-old niece Irish was there. I asked her how she's doing in school and she replied with a shrug. I learned from her mom that she's failing math and English and that she desperately needs to catch up. And then she told me how smart my younger niece is which makes me feel bad about Irish. I even heard the word dumb while she's having her monologue, although in a hushed voice. I don’t think she's slow; perhaps she's more interested on other things. I also blame it on TV and video games. Kids nowadays are just getting lazier because who would want to read when you can play right? Kids like Irish can benefit from a SCORE!'s Innovative Tutor. The tutor can help her catch up in school by teaching her to develop positive study habits. Kids need to learn to study the right way in order to achieve academic success.

Still holed up

I'm now way behind my deliverables. Ever since our "imprisonment", I haven't been able to finish anything. All the little girl wants is to sit on my lap while I'm working and look at her photos. And most of the time, she can smell my milk and would want to nurse. While I'm working. Or trying, rather.

The good news is that the household is starting to get well. Which means Sandy can now go out and play soon. I'm not taking any chances because the virus might still be there.

Your Own Breathing Space

On Sore eyes

Sandy and I have been and still isolated inside our room for the last two days. One of the helpers have sore eyes and now my mother-in-law and my 3-month-old niece have them as well. Sore eyes doesn't last long but even as an adult, I know how itchy and irritating it can be. So just imagine if a baby or toddler has it. I will not risk my little girl. So, back to isolation part. I'm running out of ideas to entertain her, plus the fact that I'm not getting anything done while she's in the same room as me. We watch Barney, Little Mermaid and her first birthday party DVD and read all her books. We also bought her a mini study table so she can draw and eat there, given the fact that we can't go out of our room to eat. We've been so OC in cleaning our hands, spraying Lysol anywhere and I hope that's enough to keep it out of our room.

I wish the virus will leave our house soon.

Lunia Fan

My brother in law loves to play Lunia a lot. He's always looking to learn new tricks and download stuff like themes, music, wallpapers so I told him about Lunia Online where he can find all the things that he want and more. The Lunia Forum have several threads from favorite characters, tips and tricks, guides, to buying and selling Lunia items. I'm sure he and his friends will have fun hanging out there. Definitely a haven for Lunia fans.

A Healthy Breakfast Finally

The little one is starting to learn to eat on her own. I don't know if that's late or what. I don't really care as long as she's doing it. The real good news is she will eat everything, and I mean EVERYTHING that's on her plate as long as she gets to use her spoon and fork. I decided to take advantage of this so I bought some cheese, strawberries, melon, watermelon and bananas. This morning, she had her first ever nutritious and healthy breakfast. No chocolate chip cookies, cupcake, or doughnuts. Just plain, boring fruits.

I'm officially a good mother.
