Removing The Clutter

When you go to our house, you will know immediately which one is our room by the amount of toys scattered outside our door. Once you go inside, you will think that you just entered a playhouse that was hit by a tornado. We clean it everyday but it always looks the same whenever Sandy is playing. Maybe that's one of the reasons why The Husband is so stressed lately. Imagine coming home from a long day at work and finding your bedroom a total mess. I guess it's about time we invest in storage bins so we can finally put everything into order. I saw this 10-storage bin with shelving at CarGuyGarage.com, which can accommodate not only Sandy's toys but The Husband's toys as well. We can also use it to store our shoes, which are currently threatening to topple off our very small shoe closet.

Missing Sleep

Sigh, I thought I've said my goodbyes to uninterrupted sleep but I was wrong. Sandy have been nursing five times a night for the past few days and I'm wondering if the last month's success was just a fluke. I hope not. I'm so looking forward to her sleeping through the night as soon as she turned two, you know? Might have to modify her nighttime ritual again. She haven't been nursing during the day so that could also be the reason why she suddenly wanted to nurse at night. Or could it be that her molars are coming out? LOL. It never ends.

Breathing Space

Here's a solution to your cluttered garage - use garage storage cabinets. Carguygarage.com offers various types of garage cabinets from stainless steel to aluminum to diamond plate and more. The garage is one place that people tend to take for granted without knowing that they can transform it into a sophisticated and functional room. By putting your junk, tools, cleaning materials and other stuff inside the storage cabinets, you are making way to a lot of space that can be used either for entertaining or for setting up your workspace.

Wouldn't you want a clean and spacious area for your car and other stuff just like the one below?

TV and Toddlers

I kept on reading about how you shouldn't let you kids watch too much TV. This is why The Husband and I agreed to shower Sandy with books so she'll busy herself with them instead of the usual "babysitter". I don't condemn parents who let their kids watch TV though. I mean, we all deserve a couple of minutes rest here and there. Hearing mommies talk about how their 6-10 months old babies love to watch Dora, etc. for long periods of time makes me wonder if Sandy is "late" in this area. At 11 months, our little one doesn't like TV which is also the reason why I didn't know what character she would like on her 1st birthday party. I tried to introduce her several cartoons but she only liked Barney when she reached her 14th month. Now that she's 2 yrs old, she likes to watch some cartoons like Hi5, Lazy Town or anything that includes singing and dancing. Still, I could see that she gets bored after 10 minutes and would rather poke at her books or run around the house. It's a good thing right?

Air Up There

And this is how it looks from the room's veranda.





Amazing huh? Makes you want to live there for good. In fact, it's The Husband's dream to move there ever since. According to the real estate agent that I chatted with, everything is cheap in Baguio. If only husband can work from home like I do, we'd probably seriously consider moving there. Imagine waking up in the morning and see clouds (fog) outside your bedroom window. Absolutely heaven.

On The Move

My friend who currently has a house in Thailand just received her PR (permanent residence) status for Singapore last week. She is now looking International Movers so she can get started moving her stuff. I told her to check out the website of InternationalMovers.com and get a quick quote on how much it will cost to move all her furniture from her 2 bedroom unit in Thailand to Singapore. This site also provides several guides from moving to packing to choosing the most reliable moving company whether you're looking for International Shipping or interstate movers. The process of relocating is stressful enough that it's important to leave it to professionals.

Baguio Photos

Just sharing some photos taken in Baguio.



It rained a lot so most of them were taken inside the hotel. Still fun though. We just spent the day eating junk and watching TV while looking at the foggy skies from time to time.

Online Presence

I've finally convinced my client to take her first step in Blog Advertising. I kept on encouraging her to do this ever since I started paid posting. I've seen several startup companies reach their target revenues because of blog advertisements. She will be putting up an online shop where digiscrappers and photographer hobbyist can print storybooks online. And given how many mommies I know who would love this kind of service, I'm pretty sure her business will do well. Blog marketing can definitely expand her target market and generate successful leads in no time.

Weird Things

Tagged by Nita. I've done something similar to this before but I will post them again just in case people wants to know how weird I am.

1. I love watching B movies (corny teen flicks, low budget suspense/thrillers )
2. I massage my tummy whenever I feel good or anxious without knowing it
3. I need to visit at least three shopping malls for comparison before I buy anything that I really want
4. I hate sleeping alone
5. I love to plan things or else I'll die from boredom. I need something to look forward to everyday.
6. I'd rather read books than sleep

Thanks Nita!
