PS3 perhaps?

Its nearly valentines day and I don't know what to give to my husband yet. He didn't want me to buy him anything because he wants me to keep my money for myself just in case. But I want to give him a little something on that special day as he always have something for me. I am thinking of playstation 3 - this is what I supposed to give him on Christmas but I went for the E-readers instead. So, might be a chance for him to get this PS3 this time and besides it can be a family gadget as well. My daughter and son would definitely love it. Or shall I go for Wii? Decision, decision, decision!

Bad hand writing, Grammar and Spelling

Lately, I have been very strict towards my daughters learning development. As always I support her, followed up what she is up to and how she is when it comes to her lessons. All I can say and be proud of is she is doing well in Math - it seems it's her favourite subject. However, she is not so good on her hand writing, spelling and grammar. I talked with hubby about it and what should I expect for an 8 yrs old because I might expect too much from her knowing that she is only in a year 3 and just turned 8 lately. She has no problem in Math and any other subjects but she is poor on English essay, writing paragraphs and making sentence. Often its grammatical error and some hard words that she is struggling to spell it right. Its quite frustrating really. One reason I want her to do well its because she don't speak any other languages apart from English - its her first language! But I think its quite difficult as she always hears me speaking it badly. I really want to do something effective about it that helps her develop. Only few more years and she'll be going to different school. And I just hope that through my way I'll make her better in those particular subjects. I guess there is plenty of time to learn. English grammar, spelling and hand writing. That's her 3 worst grades so far. I'll hope she maintain the rest. She is smart girl, no doubt about it only that because I don't speak very well in English and that's where she got it. I should learn first before her.

Life Insurance is a must

I just got home from sending my son to nursery. He'll be there until 6pm tonight and I'll be picking my daughter in half an hour too. This is my daily routine as a Mother. Some of my friends find it hard to cope and I don't know why. It's the life I choose and so I have to live up with it. I have no regrets and no complaints because I am very proud and happy of my kids and a very supportive husband. My family are my life and my everything and sure are my priority from now on. That is why, I always make sure they will be fine. This is when life insurance comes handy to make sure that the family were are living behind are guaranteed to be look after. So, if you haven't got one then you better check out these amazing life insurance quotes deals online. Don't put it off - make it as a priority!

My Baby girl's blog...

Yes, she is now back into blogging as requested. She love all the new add ons especially the aquarium. She asked me the other night if I could make her blog a bit nicer - in short renovate it. As what princess requested, princess will get. I did sometime to beautify her blog and she picked the all over colour and to no suprised, its purple! She love pink and purple and I think every girls does. Anyway, if you visit her blog you'll see how pretty it is now and we did some updates together too. I think she's gonna be like me who likes to writes and blog about her daily life. She love the idea of having her own domain. Daddy does check it often to prevent scams. Here's the link Kk's Caboodle....go and check it out!

Career Choices

I wish I live somewhere in Philadelphia so I could hunt for a job there. I've heard so much about this city of philadelphia jobs that are currently looking for more employees. Anyway, I had a quite reasonable job that fits my daily routine here in UK though but at times I find it a bit boring already. I think I am better doing some online course while I am in my maternity leave. I am pondering about taking MBA online sometime after I give birth. Hubby agreed but the drawback is, I have to learn to drive. I do hope I could get a job that I enjoy more rather than sit and serve customers all day which is kind of boring and not very challenging for me. Well, I still hope I live in Philadelphia because I know easy to get a job over there. There are many career choices for sure!

Cancelling Domains

Got few domains I haven't really used and I so wanted to cancel it all because it such a waste of money for me to pay it yearly and unused. I'm struggling how and until now I'm still working on it how to cancel it, even asked hubby but he seems to be forgetting about it after a night or two. I totally understood him because he is too busy and stress of his work at the moment. I should just try to do it myself but I just can't be bothered. I have about 5 domains unused and it cost me £50 pounds a year to keep it as it is an automatic annually renewed. What a waste! So, this will be my next big thing to do soon after I gave birth aside from our passports. Ah, this thing I put it off all the time - should make it as my priority this spring. Wish me luck!

Spots or Eczema?

I noticed a couple of zit or spots or it could be rashes in my daughter's face. It's there since she was just a little baby. We took her to her Pedia back in Philippines and recommend us to go to the children dermatologist and did we. She told us not to worry as maybe because it was only a reaction to her formula and later on it vanished but just when we got here in the UK is when it all started again. I am not sure whether it is a spots or Eczema - so I suggested hubby that we should take her to the specialist again. Not that visible really but I worry for her in case she noticed it and cause a distraction to her self-confidence. I think it might be time for us to get moving before its too late. I'm sure it will just be fine and that the Dermatologist would just give us something to apply or any sort of medication to make it disappear like an eczema treatment for instance. Who knows what it is but I am in doubt and worried so its best to take her to the Doctor.

..in his birthday!

It blow me away when I saw my son sooo happy when we sang him happy birthday. He definitely enjoyed his birthday in Granny and Grandad's place. Same as big sister, she was 4 when we started to have a family birthday and before that we just celebrate it with us and few friends. So, as to my Son, it an absolute success and joy to us his parents to be able to see him being content with pleasure on his birthday party. He'll sure had a blast! Here's some photos and a video and more photos here............

is drawing so near.....

I am counting the days now and really can't wait - hopefully I have everything ready, well I tried and so is hubby. At least we've got all the basic necessity for me and the baby to bring on to the hospital. Hubby got the car seat all washed on the other day and now is looking so clean and fresh. I'm also done washing all the baby clothes and packed. Now I can just all relax while waiting for the big day - kinda nervous but I know that God will always be with me and that I pray it'll all go smoothly. I do believed that everything will be just fine. And hoping I might be able to lose weight as quick as I did in my previous pregnancies. I should not worry too much because I'll sure know that I get back to my regular weight in not time. If not then there is always an alternative solution like diet pills. I know one of the best place to get some and they definitely have all the list of top ten diet pills in the country.

Here's some pics that I took couple months ago just a remembrance of me being so bumpy.

The thought of Dieting

I know I still have few weeks to wait before I finally pop and the thought of dieting has already been in my mind since the day I knew that I'm expecting. I am somewhat paranoid of getting too fat and so I spend my entire months/year planning ahead what I would do right after giving birth. Its quite sad but true! This pregnancy had me gained so much weight but only 10 kilos more compare with my 2nd child. Few days ago I weighed myself and I am 75kilos already, can you believe it? I am only 5'2 tall and quite a small build but now I looked more like a drum for being so round and short. So, it just right to think about diet plan but of course I'll have to make sure I'll get all the proper diet supplements in control. I know exactly where to get it when time comes. So, no need for me to be all worried about how to lose weight because I know that it'll works just as it should be.

He's Grown so much....

My little guy is turning 4 yrs old tomorrow. My gosh, I can't believe how much he's grown. I been looking his baby photos since birth and was amazed how tiny he started and look at this little fella of mine is now so big and handsome. Tomorrow is his birthday and we'll have a little party for him in my in-law's place. They offered us last week to have a little birthday celebration and so we accepted the offer. I prefer that way because I don't need to prepare anything and no pressure of cleaning the house and etc. But on Sunday I'll have a little party at home with my friends and their children. My son loves the idea and kinda excited about it. Anyway, the picture above were only taken today (15th of January) before I dropped him to school. I wanted a photo of him wearing this jumper because it is his big sister's old school uniform. She went the same school as he is now and so glad I kept it.

Photo Collages (13th & 14th of Jan)

I find it hard to stand my butt once I sat down in my PC. That is why I always make sure I did something productive beforehand. Today, I did some cooking for for my kids send them to school and pick them up. After dropping my son to his school I shopped in the town and found some really good kids clothing. I was so tempted to buy loads for the little one but managed to stop myself as we already have plenty and I know that baby grows very quickly too. I bought some for my daughter as well as for the birthday boY to wear to his small party tomorrow.

Moving on, I have been editing photos that I took few days ago. I'm not really on time when it comes to my photos. Perhaps I took so many and can hardly edit it all at once. But, I must say I am not that far from catching up my project 365 - in fact, I am on time. Here's some collage from 13 & 14 January 2010. Yay! A job well done to me, hehe.

Btw, gotta search about adipex before I go to bed. A thing must-do tonight, alright.

Here's the collages..........

First few Layout for 2010

Finally, finally! Here's my first 3 layout for this year and so glad that I eventually did some - seems like my mojo for 2010 is here. I love making layout and this time I hope to be more organised. I would also love to make some layout from my previous photos to complete my project from last year. I'll certainly do it. Since I have so many photos of my kids that I love be as my subject. For now, I am making the most of my new kits as well my old ones. I kinda mixed them up and so happy with the result. I look for more inspiration tomorrow if not then I'll just do whatever is in my mind. All it need is motivation, perseverance and inspiration. My kids are my absolute subject. Here enjoy my first few layouts.....

Anyway, I better go to sleep now because its very late at night here already and still gotta do some shopping tomorrow for the little guy's birthday and also will buy some ingredients for this home remedy for blackheads. I got a few and it really irritates me - must be the pregnancy hormones again.

Someone enjoyed the weather....

Reminder: Just to remind myself that I need to go out and get my vitamins. I had to check online about this over the counter prenatal vitamins and maybe I don't need to go out at all. It would be handy to just buy it online rather go out with this pretty bad weather.

Anyway, here's few pictures of my son who enjoyed playing in the snow last week. I think he finally enjoyed the magic of winter, hehehe. Definitely had a great time watching him as well as taking pictures.

Winter get-away

I really wish we could go away this time because I had enough of the cold weather here in Britain. I would want to feel the warm weather again in some tropical places but too bad because I am about to give birth with my 3rd child in 3 weeks. Never mind, next winter I'll definitely suggest it to hubby to go somewhere warm for something different. I envy those people who can just go anywhere they like every winter just to escape from the cold weather. As what the hubby said, one day my love when the children are all grown up, you and me will travel from one places to another especially during winter. I said, I would like to take one day as now, lol. I definitely don't have that much patience but I do try to understand the situation and being a responsible mother to my kids. I put them first before my needs and that's what matter the most. Well, for those people who are looking for the best winter get-away then you better check out New Orleans because lately they have this new orleans hotel deals that you could probably avail to save a bit for your trip. Who knows maybe more............Enjoy and have a great time!

No School again...

It's 5 days now that the school has been closed due to weather forecast. It snowed again last night and today. The kids were excited to go in this morning only to find out that they were closed. It's pathetic but what else the staff can do when the weather sucks big time. After the heavy snowfalls last week it carry on till today and so the surroundings are still pretty much covered with snow. It didn't had a chance to meltdown because the temperature keep rising up. I do hope it will drop down a bit for a week because I'm really struggling to walk down to school because the pavement are slippery. I was thinking to buy a new snow shoes but haven't had a chance to go in the mall lately because of the bad weather. I could do a new clarks shoes they pretty much sell any kind of footwear and they have the best quality too. Anyway, here's some photo I took last week when the snow started and the day after....

Little Fella's B-day soon....

My son's birthday will be this Saturday and he'll turn 4 yrs old. I am quite sad because of how quick they've grown and I'm not ready to let go of my babies yet but what can I do? I'm definitely cannot stop the time ticking each day. Hay, it seems just yesterday when I had my first child and now my 2nd child is turning 4 soon. It only means that I'm getting old as well. Anyway, I haven't really prepared anything for the little celebration yet. I plan to have a small gatherings with few friends and their kids by Sunday the 17th because my in-laws offer their place to get together with the families on Saturday and celebrate my son's 4th birthday which I think was a great idea. Offer definitely accepted! Hubby and I don't have any idea what to get for our little guy but once he mentioned about wanting this a dinosaurs digger, whatever it is I better think of buying it very soon.

Anyway, moving along, our weather sucks! Our kitchen sinks are leaking and our bathroom. This is the time that I wish we had this stainless steel drum to store some stuff away. Just couldn't think what to do first today - I certainly got loads of work.

Not so ready?

I am in my 36 weeks and 5 days today and just been to my prenatal appointment. My midwife said that my bump is huge and it could be a 9 pounder baby when it reach to its full term. Ooouch! I suddenly had a thought that I would better have the baby now rather wait for its full term because I am afraid of labour pain and long pushing. Anyway, having said that, I just realised that I am not at all ready because I haven't done any washing for little one's clothes yet. So far I packed only the basic stuff for me and the baby but still few we need really such as baby's clothes, my undies, and extra clothes for me. Wish to do it this week though, the earlier the better. Here are the stuff that I still need to wash.....not including my belly of course - I just wanna show my 36 weeks baby bump. Isn't it big?

IE is Acting up

I chatted my friend last night when Internet Explorer started acting up and it was really annoying. I can't work out what really is wrong. It wouldn't let me log in back into my Facebook and it keep shutting down on me. I look up all my internet history and disabled everything then enabled back again but still has no luck. Even re-started my PC and run a virus scan in case it corrupted with FB virus but to my dismay nothing happen. Internet Explorer decided to shut me down for no valid reason. So, I gave up and let the hubby sort it out for me but still he didn't fix it. I decided to install the Firefox to see if anything works in it like letting me sign in to my flickr, facebook and etc. And to my surprised, it certainly did! Therefore IE was just being pain the head and so I turn my back to it for now. Anyway, back to my chat with a friend, she was just asking about motorcycle accident attorney if I know anything about it. I suggested to her to visit www.michaelpadway.com for the best information. She did and seems like she is liking the company and who knows she might able to get the right compensation that she and her husband deserved.

The second heavy snowfall

The 6th of January is the second heaviest snowfall on this winter. Most of the school are closed and even until today. It's the coldest winter for 30 years in Britain. My kids thoroughly enjoyed playing the snow outside and sadly my son caught a bug after the long morning playing outside in the cold weather. He was sick all night and had upset tummy and we couldn't work out what exactly is wrong apart from blaming the bad weather. Anyways, he already feel better today and so it was a relief to see him gained back his energy again. Here's few of the photos I took outside..

Turned 28 on Monday the 4th...

Yay, for 28 yrs old! I must I can't wait for my 30's b-day, lol. Why? Because I expect a big present, hahaha. [KIDDING].

Anyway, on Monday the 4th I officially turned 28 years old and thanks GOD that I reached this age with good health. Again, I celebrated it with my family only and it was just the best. My husband and kids prepared little food and little party just for the 4 of us. It was quite yet full of love and spirits. I love my cake, my food, my cards and my presents. So, here's a couple of pics I'm gonna and visit my Flickr Album for the rest of the photos because I am such in a hurry right now for I am yet to cook our dinner but before that I have to check some lighting fixtures as we need it by next week.

All the best for 2010

It was just me and my family celebrated the new year's eve and new years day. As usual we stayed at home had a little food, nibbles and champaigne to cheers the new year's day. The kids had their fizzy drink too for just this occasion. It was simple but memorable celebrations. On new years day we went dined out at Italian Resto and then watched movie. We had so much to be thankful for 2009 although there are some worst news that breaked it through but most of it are just great just like the expectation of our 3rd child. So, all the best for 2010!

Holiday is long over....

How quick the days are! Before I knew it'll be another holiday. Certainly! Anyways, we spent our Christmas eve,Christmas day and boxing in my in-laws place. The kids had blast playing with their cousins. I had a great time too and got really good presents from everyone. I must be that good!

Here's some few photos I can share and if you want to see some more then you better visit my Christmas Album 2009...

Btw, now that holidays are over I have yet to start clearing up the house and maybe reduced our stuff that we don't really use and store it to my in-laws place. I also just remember that we need to replace our kitchen sink because it is leaking so badly at the moment. I gotta check copper kitchen sinks for now and see what the hubby's input on to it.

So, enjoy our holiday photos and I should be back for more updates.........
