That Gift She Will Surely Love

Okay, i should not be so scrooge person to the lady who's been helping me through all these years since i got here. From the very first we met, she's been treating me so nice and now treated me as just like her biological daughter. She feels for me for i don't have my mother here with me, so she offered herself to be my mother here in this foreign country. Even though i am a foreigner here to be considered because this is not my homeland, but still she did not even see the difference of our complexion. All what she see between us is the bond that connected us as a mother and daughter relationship.

She helped me a lot of things, she taught me good things and taught me how to sew quilt and how to do some other things that a mom should learn. And since i am a new mom then, she really did so great assisting me. A very nice and kind neighbor that is very rare to find. A very beautiful person inside and out that is worth to be kept in someone's heart forever.

Since that Christmas holiday is drawing so near, i was thinking that thanking her by giving her a big scented candle is good enough. Hubby said that i should have got something really special for her to have. We both know that she likes gardening, so we'll get her a copper rain chain so she can put it in her garden. I always love to visit her house which is just across the street because she's got a beautiful backyard and front lawn that are full of flowers and different kinds of plants. The chains rain is just perfect for her garden and i can almost tell where she is going to put it, it's going to be by the corner of her backyard table. The rain gutter chain would be a nice one for her too. Let's see what we can get her this coming Christmas, but i am sure we will be getting her one rain chain, we are so sure that she will be happy once she receives the present from us.

My Son's Annoying Teeth Grinding

It makes me annoyed whenever i hear my son grinding his teeth when he is asleep. He actually does it too even when he is awake before when he was a little younger, but now he is trying to stop it so i won't hear it, because i keep on telling him to quit it. But during when he is asleep, he doesn't know what he is doing, he grinds his teeth and it sounds like his teeth crumbles into small pieces. I really don't like it, i always shakes his cheeks whenever he does it. I never fail to tell him soon as he wakes up that he grinds his teeth during at night and he said that he did not know about it. So, i searched a teeth guard for my son to protect his teeth and to get rid of that annoying noise i always hear as well.
Kids MouthGuard
I don't really care if his teeth goes bad for he still got his baby teeth, all i am concerned about is the annoying noise he makes when he starts to grind his teeth like he is biting a very gewey food or something. I don't know where to get the teeth guard for my son though because when i searched it, i did not trust those website stores that are selling for it. I will just probably ask my dentist's office or maybe a friend that might know where to get them in person. I just can't stand it anymore if my son falls asleep with me and i wake up because of the noise that he makes grinding his teeth. So i said that i've got to do something about it and will have to find solution to it so when he has his teeth guard at night, i won't hear him grinding his teeth anymore. And soon as i fix that problem, the second thing that i need to find a solution is my husband's annoying loud snore, lol! Argh! My family is really something, isn't it? lol!

Rain Barrels For Dear Hubby

Honestly, i got a lot of things in my mind of what to give for my sweet husband this coming Christmas holiday. As we live together as a couple for almost six years now, i eventually learned how to make him happy and see him smiling by getting those things that what he really love to have. I am planning to give him a new vacuum cleaner this coming Christmas as my present for him, because our vacuum cleaner's recliner button got broken already. How funny to think about it that i will replace our vacuum cleaner and will be my husband's present. He likes to clean our carpet everyday, that's why i thought of giving him a new vacuum cleaner.

Anyway, he also loves to take care of the outside of our house. During spring time, he brings his buckets out from our garage to save the rain that pours from the gutter. He saves the water because that's the water he is going to use to water the little garden we have when summer comes. That way, he can save some water from our faucet to water our whole yard especially our backyard that really needs a lot of water.

So, since i was not able to give a real nice present for him during his birthday, i thought that rain barrels will be such a great idea for me to surprise my husband. He's been talking about it that he wanted to buy a couple of them to save the water from our roof when there's rain. The rain water barrels will just make my husband happy soon as he will receive the delivery, i can now just imagine my husband's face soon as he sees the rain harvesting barrels that is going to be delivered soon in our house. I am so happy to know that i am going to buy some in just the right time because they have some rain barrels for sale. Instead of paying the regular price, i will be able to save some money purchasing the barrels because they are having some great deals this holiday season. So isn't that so awesome that i am able to save some of my money buying my husband's presents and hubby will be able to save the rain from our roof later on too! I am so excited to see husband's reaction really, i can't wait...

Ornery Me, Hubby Said

When hubby told me that i am probably going to have my monthly visit soon because i am ornery again. I always smirk and makes face at him and not listening to what he'll say. That made me think that hubby is right, i become moody whenever i am about to get my period. Good thing, i don't get breakouts like some women get during when their monthly period comes. I am thankful that i don't have to deal with it and have to get the best acne treatment ready to prevent it. My sisters does get some breakouts, but i don't which i feel lucky about it because it will probably makes me more upset and moody if i get it during my period.

Christmas Holiday Gift

Christmas is drawing near, i am sure everyone is preparing for their lovely presents for their loved ones. Most of people are buying a very special gifts to the one they loved. It's very common to husbands to buy their wives a jewelry, or maybe even a set of jewelries. Jewelries is one woman's weakness and can't resist about it. And if you are a husband that is looking for a best selections of jewelries, the scott kay jewelry store is one of the best store to visit. There's a lot of styles of jewelries to choose from that a woman would want to have, especially this coming Christmas holiday.

Our Eight Feet Christmas Tree

Right after the day we came back from our fun trip, we started to put up our Christmas tree. Our oldest son was the one who is very excited to put it up and he even mentioned it before we got home. He told us that soon as we get back home, we'll have to fix our tree and put some beautiful ornaments around it. Kids are the ones that gets excited when Christmas day is approaching. I remember when i was just a little girl, i used to feel the way that my son feels right now. I get excited for i know my godmother and godfather will prepare some nice presents for me. On Christmas day, my friends and i walk together to visit our godparents so we can have our presents. That was a fun memory to reminisce for me.
Our 8 feet Christmas tree 2010
Well, anyway, we never did finish our Christmas tree in just one day. I in fact, had to go to the store to buy more gold bulbs for some of our bulbs got broken already. Our Christmas tree last year was kind of mess, for i let my son helped me put all the things to the christmas tree. What he did was, he put all the colored tinsels around the Christmas tree which made it look like a piece of garbage, but he said the Christmas tree looked beautiful though. So, i did not dare rearranging it or maybe take some out of it for he said that it's beautiful and in the eyes of a child everything in this world is beautiful. So this year, i decided to just let him help me hand everything to me and i will be the one to hang those ornaments in the tree.

We did all help to get this tree up. And i was so happy to see that our tree today looks a lot better than last year lol! This eight feet tree has been serving in our family for years and years now. Hubby bought this tree long years even before he met me. The stand cracked already, it doesn't have its built in clear lights, so i told hubby that we'll buy a new one soon as the Christmas season is over to find a best sale Christmas tree in the store. And of course the ornaments that i like to get. I am thinking that blue and silver will be a nice color for next year since we are putting gold and red ornaments this year. Isn't our Christmas tree pretty? hihi... I just love looking at it! And oh, i hang 24 peppermint candy canes in this tree, let's see if these candies will lasts until Christmas days for i know my kids will sneak on it including big daddy o', hihi... They are so tempted to pick those candies hanging on the tree lol!

About To Retire Mailbox

The mailbox that we still have until now is kind of broken already. It was good and been in our wall for several years and until we got kids. Now because the kids were keep on pulling it, the mailbox door got broken. Hubby was able to fix it many times but then the kids keep on breaking it still. It's made of wood so it gets easily destroyed. The pull knob is also reachable by kids that's why it's easy for them to open the door and play with it. We are still trying to use it although the door was kinda hanging already. Thanks to our wiggly kids haha...
mailbox
The locking mailbox is in our list to get this Christmas and we already got the color and the style that we would like to replace our poor old beaten mailbox. Ours is like an old style and we've searched some good new styles of lockable mailboxes and we found the steel one that matches the size of our old one. It isn't that expensive, so hubby said that might as well get it this coming Christmas so we can put it up and get rid of the hanging door mailbox we have. The door is almost falling apart, so i am guessing that the old mailbox won't stay very long since the kids like to play with it and put something in there like their toys or maybe hides papers inside the mailbox. The locking mailboxes that we searched here in the net is just great so the kids can't play with it anymore and keep on opening and close just like our old one that is about to retire its job, lol!

Embarrassing Tummy Bump

Taking some weight loss pills doesn't mean that you are vain about your figure. Every woman deserves to be looking good especially to their partner's eyes. I myself is one conscious about my figure since i gave birth three times. My body is not that skinny anymore like it used to before i had my three kids. I can't say that i am fat or big framed woman, but my concern is all about my bulging tummy that seems i can't easily get rid of. Plus the fact that i am so lazy doing any simple exercise, and eating like there is no tomorrow, so that adds all up.
dietpillsheader
There are a lot of best weight loss pills to choose from, all i have to do is to read all those reviews of people that tried those certain weight loss pills that they have tried and it worked great for them. Some people said i still look good compare to the other mothers though. I somewhat agree to them but also disagree. I don't want to compare myself to the big people because i don't even belonged to that category, instead, i want to compare myself to those great looking women particularly to these celebrities mothers that still able to maintain their great figure even if they already gave birth many times like me. I have no complain about my arms, my legs, hips and face getting bigger though.

All i want to make it disappear is my tummy fat so to flatten it so i can wear a nice snug dress that hugs my body perfectly without seeing any embarrassing bumps. And speaking of dress, i really need to get rid of my tummy fat because i have some Christmas parties to attend to and it will start on this coming Saturday. Do i still have enough time to do that? I hope so, sigh!

Decaffeinated Coffee

kape
I don't really go to a coffee shop before because caffeine makes me sick, it makes me hyper and feels like i am drunk. My friends has been encouraging me to just keep on drinking until my system gets immune to the caffeine. I love the smell of the coffee though but i just can't control the effect to me after i drink it. I also can't sleep and it makes me paranoid. I keep on hearing silly sounds that only me can hear. It's like i am taking a high dosage drug whenever i have caffeine in my system.

But since i learned that there is a decaffeinated coffee now, it made me so happy that finally i can now enjoy a cup of coffee every morning without getting paranoid or get hyper. I can sleep whenever i want to go to bed without worrying to hear any silly sounds. I love coffee really, especially when it is mixed with hazel nut cream, smells so good and tasty. Every morning i always make a cup of coffee for myself together with a piece of bagel with cream cheese in it. Hubby doesn't drink coffee because as for him, it is a bad liquid to intake. He said that coffee is not really good for our health, but i guess i can't help it especially when i smell the coffee, it's just so inviting for me.

Affordable Website Hosting

Are you a blogger that is looking for a website hosting? Or are you a blogger that purchased a webhosting and you are not happy about it because it charged you too much? Well, guess what? I have a good news to all the bloggers that are looking for web site hosting that you only pay very little. No hidden charges or anything aside from your monthly payment. I have been looking for a very affordable web hosting myself because a friend of mine asked me to help her build her a new website. And she wanted me to make it as her own domain by buying a very affordable website since she is not into commercial blogging.

I have been searching a lot of sites and i finally stumble into this sites that has different web hosting companies that offers great deal. So i told her about it and she is happy to know that she won't be paying as much as what she thought she would be. I have mine in a different web hosting site and i wished i found this site before i purchased my web hosting site. But oh well, i'll just wait for a year contract with my web hosting and soon as it is finished, i will switch into this site that are just awesome deals. Who doesn't want to save anyway? For now, i just have to help my friend in creating her new website and make it as her own domain so she won't encounter any problem later on if she don't buy it. She might lose the website she created. Better be safe than be sorry later on.
