My Mom’s Special Day

It’s been two weeks since my Mom’s birthday and we had a happy celebration as always. If the previous birthdays were packed with visitors this recent birthday of Mom is for close family only. We didn’t invite anyone because we had chicken pox in the family and we want to rest a bit so we limited the celebration’s guest to just her family only. As always we have flowers for her because she loves flowers that much and we always see to it that she has flowers on every important occasion of her life. Although we didn’t have those Malden city flowers online she’s very grateful and happy to have roses on her special day.

Remembering her birthday now it’s the most relaxed I ever had. I usually can’t eat when I’m the one cooking and preparing but this time I eat ahead of them while cooking the pasta. I arrived somewhat late from my intended half day leave. I was home at 4pm and started preparing then. My Mom was actually worried why I came home 2 hours late from my scheduled time but when she saw me she was instantly relieved. It’s a wonderful day for all of us especially for me and my siblings, my kids, SIL, nephews, nieces and my friend Jen.

The Essential Scrapbook Tools for Beginners

Sometimes it pays to have a hobby or a diversion to get your minds off the stress of work and home. Most stay at home moms are into scrapbook making. This is a good way to make those memories last for a long period of time. And since kids will usually gather a number of pictures throughout the growing years, it is only common to have them as subjects for your scrapbook.

If this is a hobby that you would like to try, better head to the arts and crafts store to get the basic tools you’ll need to start a scrapbook. Now you might get a little overwhelmed with the number of tools and accessories available. For your first scrapbook, go for something easy and simple to do, then you can move on to more complicated designs as you become more familiar.

One important tool to have is the paper trimmer. It comes in different types and sizes with measured markers to make cutting easier. Using a trimmer will save you time since you wont need to do everything by hand.

Use a cutting mat to protect the surface of your table from scratches or markings from sharp blades and glue. A pair of sharp scissors should also be included on your scrapbook tool kit. Don’t forget to stock up on acid free adhesives, double sided tapes and mounting squares which you’ll need when you layout photos and papers.

Embellishments and small decors will add life to your scrapbook kit. Now once you have your tools in place, you can start having fun on your first project.

Where to Find Second Hand Cars for Sale?

Are you longing to own used cars in South Africa? You have to be more observant in choosing a right car for you and for your family. We have experienced owning a used car not once but thrice and when we bought them we’re thinking if those used cars will last for a long period of time. Based on experience those used cars proved to be very useful in my family’s regular outdoor activities. We always travels for long kilometers every Sunday and every quarter of the year to attend different fellowship in our church. We always visit provinces to conduct different conversation and forums to other people. Without those used cars our presence will be impossible as some of the places we go to are hard to reach by mere public vehicles. 

We’re so thankful for owning those cars even though you really have to maintain it carefully. Maintenance is the key to have a smooth-running car and my husband is very good at it. If you own a vehicle it becomes part of your family so you have to give special attention just like what you’re giving to any family member. Cars become your partner in transporting your family from places to places safely. If you want your car to last for long years and keep them running in good performance you have to check it up regularly and visit the mechanic to conduct a regular scheduled body check-up. 

When you are in South Africa there are many cars for sale in Johannesburg. You can choose from luxury to simple cars depending upon the budget and where you want to use it. You can choose and use it for city travel, for long travel or for your business trips. It’s always nice to travel on your own car when you want to experience seeing the beauty of South Africa. Anyway just always remember to conduct a routine check-up before any long travel. Knowing BLOWBAG rules will also help. B stands for brakes, L for lights, O for oil, W for water, B for battery, A for air of your wheels and last but not the least is G stands for gas. 

In visiting some online website there are lots of car type and models you can see for yourself personally. You will love it especially when you sit on it. I can assure you that there is something that will touch your heart. I felt it deep in my heart personally and there was an overflowing joy when we purchased and finally owned the car. For me it is a wonderful privilege and I will take care of such blessing from God.

Some Changes in Life

Now that I’m not a full time work-at-home Mom I see to it that I finish my online tasks ahead of my due dates because my time is not flexible anymore. I have to be very discipline with my working schedule at home because I might miss some work if I didn’t have a detailed schedule. Sometimes I miss the days that I can sleep in the afternoon for the siesta or catch up on my sleep on mornings if I stayed up until dawn. Well I love my offline work now and I’m thankful for the opportunity that God has given me to earn more for my family. 

I just can’t help remembering how my world goes around my kids, husband, the whole family and my blogging.I almost stayed as WAHM for nearly two years until an office friend offered me a job. My present work has given me new challenges and new career just like my friend abroad who has just enrolled in Anitoch beauty school because she wanted something new in her life. She has a simple and good life but she’s not used to staying at home only so she decided to study again for a change.

Life Insurance Benefits

This morning I accompanied my youngest son in a barber shop just few steps away from our house. When I sit there I borrowed one of the local newspapers and I opened the page in which the social security system is calling for all the beneficiaries of their dead loved ones. They are required to visit the local offices to get their financial benefits. I was thinking while I was doing some research work in front of my computer how important  term life insurance is to the lives of our loved ones. We know that money is not enough to replace our love and care we have for them but it’s also important that you will not just leave this world without anything left to them.

Learning About My Phone

I was glad that finally I've found the right phone that I can use also for blogging even when I'm not in my laptop or out of my home.  I'm still trying to learn about my newly purchased Nokia E90 and have to install windows and some other applications.  I'm still busy with my project that I have to do it on some other day but I'm excited about it. Now I can check my emails, tweets and other social networks even I'm too lazy or tired to open my computer.  Thanks to a friend who offered the phone at very affordable price. Such a blessing from God.  Will post about the specs some other time.

Legal Help from Austin Lawyers

Through the help of modern medical technologies the women can easily detect if she is pregnant or not. The government health centers and private clinics are open during day time any day of the week except Sunday only by appointment. Any medication she had will affect the baby inside her womb especially in taking a Topamax to heal her painful headache or migraine. Taking any medicine without doctor’s knowledge can harm the baby inside her womb. The women must detail every bit of her family health background or history of ailment.

Based on my experience women above 30 of age like me are much obliged to have frequent medical tests when pregnant for the well being of both mother and baby. Most pregnant women are advised to take some iron supplements to fight any virus or infection in the future. When you have taken a wrong medicine like Topamax which can cause birth defects you can seek legal help from Austin lawyers and file Topamax lawsuit to get fair trial on the case. They can give the best legal service you can get to solve your case and be able to get compensation and claims.

Gift Ideas for DH

I'm planning to buy a wifi phone for DH this coming father's day as he's very discreet in buying one for himself.  Actually he's used to receiving mobile phones from his sister abroad but her package for her family here is taking so long to arrive.  We learned that it's already here since last month and I just don't know what's keeping the agency assigned from releasing them.  He's actually using my E90 when he's at home because I'm not bringing my windows phone to office.  I'm just a commuter and when I use a phone when I'm in public car I'm comfortable with my simple mobile phone.  It's too risky to use the windows phone on my way to office because I'm passing through danger zone where snatchers are known to get mobile phones from passengers. Anyway I really want to buy him one so he can use the phone even when he's in school.
