Gingersnaps Sale

Wow! I only read about this just now. Gingersnaps is just my favorite. All of their clothes are just soooo cute and fabulous! Almost all of Sandy's outfits were bought from there. I noticed lately though that their prices are getting a bit expensive. I wonder if they will be selling new items as well? Gawd I can already see myself hoarding all the cute tees! It's a warehouse sale so the prices are probably dirt-cheap. Hay, I need to convince The Husband asap.

His idea of heaven

I've been talking to The Husband every two hours since he left for Sagada. I'm amazed at how clear the cell reception was and he can even hear Sandy babbling in the background. The Husband can't stop raving about how beautiful and cold it is there. Which is why I'm so excited to visit there soon. Aside from the fact that I hate being away from him, I've been dying to go there ever since I saw Sagada photos from a deviantart account. I wonder when it will be? I'm sure it will be just heaven. Literally.

Gold investment is now the best way to protect your wealth and preserve it's purchasing power. It's rare, durable and doesn't wear out when passed from hand to hand. Gold bullions are available at Monex in three forms - 10-ounce gold bullion bar, 32.15 troy ounce gold “kilobar” and the finest investment-grade available, the 10-ounce gold bullion ingot. The gold bullion bars are real, actual money. As opposed to US dollars whose values are declining each month, gold has an excellent protection against inflation, deflation and political uncertainty.

Sleepover

Sandy's older cousin will be sleeping over tonight. Since The Husband is away, Sandy and I need to busy ourselves so we will not miss him that bad. Hence, the pajama party. The big Pooh tent is already up. The kitchen set, activity table, bikes and cars are lined up in preparation for the sleepover. It's going to be chaotic between the two of them. Sandy alone can turn our room upside down so what more with her Ate Gabby's help. My only hope is that they won't stay up so late playing. Not to mention that Gabby is known to look for her mom at night and will not stop crying until you do something about it.

Oh The Bratty Brat

I'm just catching up on blog assignments. The two girls are having so much fun as of this moment. There were a few fights over Dora, bike, laptop, etc so my throat hurts a bit because I've been explaining how they should share. It's harder with Sandy because she wasn't used to having a playmate. Good thing Gabby is a few years older so she's more willing to give in. When Sandy took all the toys that her Ate Gabby wants to play with, Gabby went to a corner and played with her gameboy. Sandy will then realized that she's all alone playing with her toys so she will go to her Ate Gabby to bug her again.

It's sooo hard. An eye-opener for me. We need to enroll Sandy in a play activity or something as soon as possible!

Wedding Cameras

I've never heard of wedding cameras until I watched a FRIENDS episode where Monica and Chandler got married. The idea is just so nice that I somehow wished that I did something similar on my wedding. I saw some being sold at shopforweddings.com and find their designs really nice. There are cute ring bearer and flower girl cameras, Bling Bling camera, beach camera, pink florals and the usual basic whites. It's so nice to see your wedding from your guests’ eyes right? It doesn't come cheap if you buy each one for your 250 guests but one camera per table will do just right. Sigh. Now I just keep on seeing my wedding flash before my eyes after browsing all the wedding favors and gifts from the shopforweddings.com site.

More On Gifts

What gift/s are you giving your kids this Christmas?

Now this, I can answer. We bought loads of stuff for Sandy this Christmas because she didn't open any presents last year. And we don't really visit her godparents (which is the usual Christmas tradition) so we decided to just give her gifts in small sizes so she'll have lots to open on Christmas Eve.

So here are the "small" gifts.
A telescope that magnifies stars up to 10x
A folding big Dora tent, her 2nd tent actually
A driving activity set
Coffee maker as an add-on for her kitchen
Little Tykes Scooter
Vtech Laptop
Barbie Convertible Car
Barbie Bed and Bath Suite

Christmas is so Near

My favorite month is here! There are tons of warehouse discounts and sales that I have nothing left in my Christmas shopping budget anymore. Still need to buy presents for the grandparents, in-laws, brother and other godkids that I'm not very close with. The Christmas tree is up but the whole house is still pretty bare. I wanted to start a tradition for Sandy but just like last year, I'm just too busy at work that I can't even find time to buy a huge Christmas stocking. Weekends are fully booked as of this moment and the only time that we can shop is December 15th. Gawd, that's like ten days before Christmas, I wonder how jam-packed the malls will be.

You might be thinking that all I do is shop. The thing is, Christmas just makes me want to go all out on presents. That's why it's called the season of giving right? I get a certain high whenever I see the big smiling faces of kids after they open our gifts. It's an amazing feeling, to give.
