Naturally Unique Birthday Present For Hubbies

Having concern for the environment makes one think of things in a natural state. Minimizing the use of non-biodegradable items is doing your part in slowing down the degradation of the earth, our only home.

Men are not as emotional as women when it comes to birthday presents. Being remembered is often enough. While many would love to have power tools, electronic toys and gadgets or even sports equipment, they usually have those things bought on their own, to their own specification (liking). They love to shop for those items themselves. So for a wife, a chocolate birthday berries for husband will be perfect for the occasion.

Going green has been advocated by many people around the world these days. Some do it by planting trees. Others do so by recycling. Some do composting. Most, though, do their share by preventing themselves to add to the injury of the earth and share the message of going green.

While others wear tshirts with the message and go around where there are lots of people like malls and parks, others post posters in schools and where appropriate. The music industry can also help spread the message through their songs and even guitar players visually do so by having dr neon guitar strings which will be noticeably visible from the audience.

In less than a month, its already the month of love, Valentines Day. I am sure a lot of sweethearts are already planning for their nth time honeymoon but for us, it will just be an ordinary day. I would rather spend the money for my son’s 8th birthday on February 17 than spending on our date. When we have kids, everyday is our honeymoon but of course, I will make sure that I’ll wear the appropriate valentines day clothing.

A Mommy and Nanny In Me

Posted by Tina in Family Affairs |

We are currently visiting my husband’s family in Dumaguete. I dont know if this is for good but it looks as if it is. I went to St. Louis School (Don Bosco) yesterday and they confirmed that they can accept my boys provided that we can provide the Form 137, Form 138 and the grading system of their school in Cavite.

The kids are so far happy and its obvious in their aura. I have been asking for so many questions and hints. And there is only one answer so far but lets see how it goes. But for now, I am happy to be their 24/7 mommy and nanny. Its nice to be a full time mommy!

I have not bought any things here yet as we are waiting for our things to be shipped here but I was told that there are affordable and reliable cedar furniture. I might check it out first.
