Checking Out Foreclosures

Just came home from our midweek bible study and I just want to peek through my emails and check out the Nags Head foreclosures before I sleep. My cousin is asking me to help her about these foreclosures and I agreed as I’m online most of the times. Even if I’m just reading my emails and reading some messages on my comment box I was surprised that it’s getting really late now. I can’t stay working on my blogs for long now as I’m visiting my former office in the morning tomorrow. Maybe I’ll be able to work in the afternoon and I hope I’ll have overflowing words too.

Clever Cupcakes!

I was looking for some ideas on our upcoming birthday occasions and look what I've found! It's actually for a wedding but I stopped all the same because I find it truly special and unique to have a cupcake tower instead of traditional cake that will be cut one by one before serving. Here cupcakes are ready for serving and eating, no need to wait that long.

See each cupcake is hand crafted and designed. You'll see sunflower, polka dots and striped cupcakes designed to match the big cake. Wow! this is really beautiful! It's also easy to take it home lol! This creation is from Elizabeth Marek and you can see all of her beautiful cakes in Artisan Cake Company.

Well as I'm looking for kids' birthday party cakes I've found these cute clever cupcakes to match the kids' taste.

She's now having her 2010 Cake giveaway. Check out artisancakecompany.com!

Things To Do on Summer Vacation

Now it’s summer break vacation from school and I’m thinking of ways on how my kids will spend their vacation period. Since I don’t want them playing on the net the whole day I agreed to what my daughter is telling me that she’ll practice riding her bike in the afternoon or they can play volleyball. Well if they’re going to play sports they should be wearing comfortable and quality shoes like skechers shape ups. Shoes are very important when playing your favorite sports as your feet carries your whole body.

Back to the kids’ vacation from school, I’m also teaching all of them household chores, house cleaning and some easy recipes on the kitchen. I can feel that my eldest Ruth is very interested with cooking so I’m planning to bring her with me when I enrolled in a baking class.

Capturing Precious Moments of My Kids

I’m relaxing a bit now after Mom gave me the therapy for my back pain. She insisted to give me a follow-up massage since my sleep is not normal again due to my back. I would wake up just very early at dawn and sleep will evade me because of the pain. It was a nice and soothing massage just as good as ever. Now I’m viewing my kids’ school video of their graduation and I’m not satisfied with the length of the video. I’m thinking that I should save for a nice camcorder so I can capture more minutes of their special moments in school.

Has anyone told me that I’m a stage Mom? Of course my friends laughed at how I seriously document every single school activity they have. But as they laugh they will tell me that they would love to do it as well if given the opportunity. Oh well as for me children will only be kids once and if you don’t make the most of it you’ll never see it again. They will grow up soon and you’ll be surprised at how time flies. One day they will eventually graduate and work and they will never be kids anymore. So for now I’m savoring every moments of their childhood and maintaining my sites helped me document their journey in life.

Hospital Observations

I accompanied my Auntie last month in her ultra sound and took the chance to visit my friend’s father who had a shoot in his blood pressure. I was relieved it wasn’t a mild stroke. As we’re waiting for the radiologist in the waiting foyer my eyes wander at the busy hospital and linger on the instruments used there like their weighing scale, BP instruments, oximeter and many other gadgets used to determine pulse rate, blood pressure, temperature and weight. Nurses and caregivers test the patients before they even see the doctor.

These are commonly done in public hospitals where long lines were expected everyday and to make the process of checking up easier. Well if all these things were checked first all the doctor have to do is read the tests and readings and proceed with the checkup as fast as possible to accommodate all patients lined up for checkup and treatment. At least even if you’re tired lining up you don’t have to pay doctor’s fee and you’ll even get free medicines.

Stained Glass Jewelry Box

I was browsing for some gift ideas for a young lady when I came upon this item from doodlesanddoodads at etsy.com

This is a Big Catch Trinket/Jewelry Box Made of Stained Glass, a handcrafted stained glass trinket or jewelry box. It depicts a small child sitting on a dock fishing. This item is dimensional and detailed, complete with a bait can and the "big catch" of the day. I love the color and the unique materials used in this jewelry box. The small child sitting on a dock is just perfect for a gift to a young lady. And because it's made of glass it can also be used as home decor or paperweight. This item costs USD35.00

Took My Appetite Away

The sun’s heat this week is enough to take my appetite away from some foods as I only want to drink plenty of water and eat fruits when I feel the heat of the summer. The heat is like appetite suppressants to me because it somehow minimize my cravings for sweets and some other not so healthy foods. Well good for me as I don’t need to buy, eat and drink anything to lose some excess pounds as exposure to heat is enough to give the equivalent perspiration of one person who plays badminton or other sports. This confirms the article I read when I was young that it’s easier to lose pounds on summer than on winter!

What Do You Love to Talk About?

You Love to Talk About Relationships

You love to talk about people you know. You're not exactly a gossip - you just think a lot about your friends and family.
You're likely to be completely up to date on what's going on in everyone's life. And when someone has good news, you make sure and share it.

You also spend a fair amount of time dissecting relationships and analyzing people. You are always trying to better understand the people you're closest to.
Of all the types, you are the most social. You have a lot of people to talk to and to talk about!

I really enjoy personality quiz like this as it suggests a certain character inside a person and though not all facts above are true some of them seems true enough like I'm always trying to better understand the people I'm closest to, actually even if they're not that close to me I always leave some space in my heart to understand others! Actually I don't like talking about relationships but I'm open to anyone seeking advice. I like this piece of job as I can also share God's blessings in my life.
