LIFE

French Heritage

2010-03-11T20:33:00.000-08:00

My husband is part french, part german, part caucasian and part american-indian. His dad still speaks fluent french and every now and then he would teach me a word or two. Words like abri de piscine, fauteuil baroque, and domiciliation. I don't remember now what those words meant but I like it when he talks french.

I hope my kids will learn some of the language. Andrea is better than me because she knows a little bit. They teach it at her school and she's picking up some of the words. We all know that knowing how to speak more than one language is better than just one. So I will do my best to make my kids multi-lingual so they would have an edge over others.

Dream Wedding

2010-03-11T20:18:00.000-08:00

It is our wedding anniversary next week and although it's been years since we got married, I could still remember it like it was yesterday. We had a simple church wedding but to me it was my dream wedding. Our motiff was yellow and we had yellow tulips at church and yellow bouqette. The food was simple yet everybody had so much fun and even after we left for our honeymoon, they still continued to party.

Every girl has their dream wedding. There are winter wedding themes, snowflake wedding theme, fairytale theme and others like beach themes. Whatever it is that a girl chooses, it is important that the person she get's married to is her true love because a wedding is not just about decorations and themes but it's all about the union of two people in-love. The ceremony is the most important part of the wedding and the decorations are just icing on the cake.

Insurance in Connecticut

2010-03-11T19:47:00.000-08:00

Insurance is very important. I myself have been a witness to it's importance when our house got flooded a couple of month ago. Our furnitures have been totally destroyed and our house suffered from water damage. Thanks to our insurance, we were able to fix our house and were able to get money to replace our furnitures.

We are planning on moving to Connecticut soon and we are making sure that we will get the best insurance. I searched for Homeowners Insurance Somers, CT online and I found that Paradiso Insurance Agency offers it as well as Life Insurance Somers, CT. They offer all kinds of insurance and very cheap premiums so if you're looking for Life Insurance Tolland, CT, then I recommend them to you.

Before moving there, I will contact them and make sure that everything will be alright. It's always nice to be ready because you will never know when disaster strucks.

Baby Slings

2010-03-11T19:30:00.000-08:00

My sister in law just gave birth to her third child last month. She gave birth to a healthy baby boy via c-section. I am very honored when she told me that I will be the baby's godmother. My husband has been her 1st child's godfather and now I will be the her only son's godmother.

I am looking for a nice baptismal present online when I remembered that one of the best gifts to give would be baby slings. There's a site online that specializes in all kinds of baby slings in all designs and colors. I never realized that there are different kinds of slings until I saw it at lastellablu.com. They offer all kinds of awesome designs that I could not make my mind which one to get.

The baptism would be next weekend so I have to hurry and order it. I hope that my sister-in-law would appreciate the gift and moreso, that she would be able to use it to it's full capacity. As a mom myself, baby slings has been very helpful to me while my babies are growing up.

All Kinds Of Invitations

2010-03-09T20:16:00.000-08:00

I like to prepare for a party way in advance and I make sure I put all kinds of effort in every aspect of it. Since Andrea's birthday is coming up soon, I am already checking out party invitations for her. I found this site that prints, designs and makes birthday inviations, business cards and discount wedding invitations.

I used it for Fifi's 1st birthday invitation and everybody liked it. It is very cheap and I love how it all came out. Since Andrea is older, I will let her choose which invitation she wants to send out from all the different designs that they have. I believe that she will enjoy her party more if I let her get involved in the planning.

Printer Problems

2010-03-09T20:07:00.000-08:00

I use our printer in all kinds of projects. When I pay our bills online, I have to print a receipt for our records. If I want to scan a picture for my blog, I use our printer which is also a scanner. If I need to print some pictures, I also use our printer since it's also a picture printer. With this amount of printing, we use a good amount of Brother Printer Ink Cartridges. In my estimation, we change printer ink every 2 months or less.

I was a little pissed though when I tried to use it last week for Andrea's project. I want to print some pictures for her project and it won't print at all... I though it was low on ink so I bought new ones and replaced the old ink. Still it won't print. Hubby finally checked it when I started to mumble and he said our printer broke. Ugghhh... It sucks... Now we have to buy a new printer and we have to set aside a budget for a new printer.

Financial Savior

2010-03-09T19:59:00.000-08:00

There are times when we need extra money and my husband's paycheck has not arrived yet. It is very stressing when that happens and sometimes, it's not even planned. Before we would use credit cards everytime oopsies happen but now, we decided to cut off our cards and do payday loans instead. It helps us in times of oopsies and when my husband gets paid, we just pay it off. It's easy to pay-off and we don't need to worry about paying a monthly bill for it like a credit card.

We barely do any payday loan but if the situation calls for it, we just make adjustments on our budget that way we don't dig a financial hole for our family. We are striving to be debt-free in 3 years more or less and we know that when that time comes, our family will have more extra to spend on vacations and more money in our savings.

My Friend's Demise

2010-03-09T19:38:00.000-08:00

My friend just moved up in Wisconstin after her house has been flooded here in our area. She was not wise enought to get a good insurance for her house, so she ended up having to pay for the water damage done in her property. She was so stressed with the situation that she decided to move up north near her family.

The first thing she did when she moved to her new house there was get a Wisconsin insurance to make sure the demise she had here would not happen again. She said she is still adjusting but she is loving the fact that she could see her family more often now than before.

Moving to the City

2010-03-09T19:33:00.000-08:00

My husband's family are very close. They are so close that they even live a couple of miles away from each other. My father-in-law's house is a good 10 minutes away from us and my sister-in-law lives two blocks away from him. The only person in the family that lives a little too far was my brother-in-law. He still lives in the same state but he's 2 hours away from us.

Six months ago, he decided to move closer to us, in the city proper which is only 30 minutes away. He rented a truck from a one way truck rental so he won't have to come back and return the truck where he rented it from. We helped him get settled and now, he's present in almost every family gathering we have. Unless ofcourse if he's working.

Andrea's Birthday Wish

2010-03-08T10:44:00.000-08:00

A month from now, Andrea would be celebrating her 8th birthday. I am already thinking of a theme for her party and I am asking her too what she wants since she's old enough. It is good to ask her input in her own party that way she would enjoy it more.

She originally wanted a pool party but I don;t think it would be possible. The weather is still a little too chilly for a pool party. I asked her what she wants to get for her birthday ans she said she wants an xbox, video games and skateboards. She has always been a little boyish and I hoped she would grow out of it once she turns into a teenager.

I am planning on having a tumbling/gymnastics party in one of the gyms here in our area and I think she would love that idea. I still have to talk to her and make sure she agrees to everything. After all it's her birthday, not mine.

Baby Show

2010-03-08T10:37:00.000-08:00

My little infant watches a baby show about 3 little rats that live in a big clock. They would sing and dance and play around the big wall clock. Everytime this show is on, she will get hooked in the television and nothing could take her attention away from it. Atleast I know she has a good attention span.

She would watch this show everyday over and over again that I even memorized the songs that the three rats sing. There was a time that we were in the car and she was throwing a tantrum. My husband got aggravated but could do nothing since he's driving. I started singing one of the songs from the show and that calmed her down in a snap... Like magic...

I am so glad that there are shows like that these days for babies. It helps me entertain her while I am doing my chores and she also learns stuff from it.

Web Hosting

2010-03-08T10:29:00.000-08:00

My friend introduced me to blogging and I am so glad she did because I enjoy every moment of it, I met new friends from it, and I also earn extra money from it. It is the best way to earn extra money at the comfort of my own house and it is very good in a way that I don't have to neglect my duties as a mom and a wife.

When I first learned how to blog, I had a hard time because I am not techie like the other bloggers. Good thing I found a good email hosting and web hosting site that made everything extra easy for me. They really helped out in more ways than I could mention and made blogging enjoyable for me.

If you haven't tried to write a blog yet, it's about time you start doing it. At first, you would feel like a fish out of water but later on, you will get into the groove and find it interesting and fun.

Business Card Design

2010-03-08T10:22:00.000-08:00

There are a lot of online sites that do business card design and personalized invitations. Since theres so much, the competition is tough and almost all of them offer all kinds of discounts just to attract costumers. It is a win-win situation for business owners out there who needs to create business cards for their businesses.

I saw all these when I was looking for a site that designs birthday invitations for my daughter's birthday party. I got a pretty good deal for the invitations and I was so satisfied with the way it came out. Soon it would be my older older's birthday and I will order her invitations at the same site. I was so happy with it that I even recommended it to my friends and family.

Consumers should take advantage of the competetion in the market right now. It's one way to survive in this not so good economy.

VA Loans

2010-03-07T17:28:00.000-08:00

A lot of people has lost their houses because of the slow economy. Most could not afford to pay for their mortgage and because of that, they end up losing their house to the bank. Most home-owners sold their house for less than it's worth. That's why I am so glad my husband worked for the government and purchased our house by getting a VA Mortgage. Our loan is fixed and it is very affordable. We make sure that we pay for it constantly because with this market, banks are out to get you and if you don't pay right away, they could take away your house in an instant.

The VA Loans are designed to help veterans and people that works for the government. They offer very low and fixed percentage rate in all their loans. There is also a VA Loan Refinance for those who wants to refinance their loans that has a high percentage rate. These kinds of loans are the best since it's fixed for the length of time you chose to pay off your loan and no matter how bad the market is, the monthly payment will never go up.

In this economy, it is very important that we make the right financial decisions. Making one wrong decision could jeopardize the financial situation of the family and could cost a lot. Try to look for the best options before jumping into any loans. The best way to do it is by doing extensive research, making sure that you could afford the monthly bill and finding the best deal in the market.

Online Dating

2010-03-07T16:49:00.000-08:00

I met my husband online and I believe that relationships that develops online works. Look at us, two kids later, we're still madly in-love with each other. There are people who are skeptical about finding a relastionship online and I do understand why. But if you find the right person, you will find out that it really works.

There are sites that serves as professional pickup artist when it comes to matching individuals. They are good and I knew a few people who got married through them. There are others that help male clients on how to meet women. It just depends on the type of site you join.

If you are having doubts about finding truelove online, try it first and see. It might work for you, it might not, but you would never know unless you try it.

When I'm Bored

2010-03-07T16:37:00.000-08:00

When I am done with the chores and my kids are sleeping, I get very bored. I would go online and check some sites and other times I would watch movies. I would download movies online and watch it in my laptop to help me pass the time. Most dvd movies are available online and I watch the ones that I haven't seen before.

Downloading free movies has become my thing when I am bored and it really helps in passing time. Other times, I would just take a nap or watch a tv show that I don't usually watch. How about you? What are the things you do when you're bored?

2010-03-07T16:15:00.000-08:00

Looking For A Job In This Economy

2010-03-07T16:02:00.000-08:00

It is very hard to look for a job in this economy. You have to bring out your all just so you could be chosen out of the many people applying for the position. You should have tricks underneath your sleeve just so you could land the job you want. Competition is far greater this time because a lot of people has lost their jobs and now are in the market to look for a new one.

There are plenty ways to help you get career advancement and if you're looking to do a career change, it is also possible.

It needs lots of determination but it is still very possible to have a good career even during these hard times.

Real Estate Job

2010-03-07T15:49:00.000-08:00

A lot of people has been laid-off their jobs because of the bad economy. I know a lot of people who have been doing great before working as a real estate agent and are having a hard time this year. I was glad I didn't pursue a real estate job because I know I would be one of the them. Hurting and struggling in this economy.

Since the economy went down the tube, the real estate business has slowed down. The Lexington SC Real Estate though is continously floruishing ang this is the perfect time to buy a property there. Chapin Real Estate handles the real estate there and they are pretty good at it. The Chapin Homes are very special properties.

Dream Spa at Home

2010-03-02T09:55:00.000-08:00

I have always wanted to have my own swim spa at home. I was watching TV in our livingroom when I saw a commercial about swim spas and from then on, I feel in-love with it. I know it's sounds like a pipe dream to have it but there are deals out there on these nice luxurious spa equipments.

There are water treadmill that you could have installed in your home for an affordable price. Well, maybe not that affordable but doable especially to people who really needs it for therapeutic reasons.

Financial Help Through Debt Consolidation

2010-03-02T09:44:00.000-08:00

There was a time when we were struggling to pay our credit card bills. It was so easy to use them and swipe them but when ti comes to the time to pay them off, it is a big pain in the neck. Good thing we were able to attend a credit counseling and find ways to pay our credit cards without messing with our credit score.

We were able to do a debt consolidation with our bank and we paid off all our debts and ended up just paying 1 monthly payment that costs us way less versus paying everything separately. The debt consolidation helped us get back on track with our finances and we were able have more money in our pocket every month.

Bad Credit Score

2010-03-02T09:26:00.000-08:00

It may be sad to say but in this country, everything depends on the credit score you have. You could not purchase anything if you have a bad credit score. That's why most of us are very careful in our financial decisions so our credit score will not be put to jeopardy. I myself needs to fix my credit and improve my credit score.

There are a lot of credit repair companies out there who are willing to help individuals who have been struggling with their credit scores. They are well-informed and well-educated on the ways to help us fix our bad credits and improve our mediocre credit score.

Living with a bad credit score sucks but on the other hand, living with a very good credit score is wonderful.

The Perks of Direct TV

2010-03-02T08:54:00.000-08:00

When we moved in our house a couple of yers ago, we have been looking for a satellite provider here in Louisiana and we are so glad we reviewed the Direct TV Offers. They have all kinds of channels available for a very affordable price. They even offer the international channel from my country which I love so much.

There are a lot of Direct TV Specials that would fit your every budget and the installation is also fast. When we got ours, we are lucky to avail from the DirectTv Specials at that time which includes 3 months free of the movie channels like starz and showtime. We enjoyed that deal and we are waiting to avail of more Directv Specials that they offer every now and then.

I would never trade my Direct Tv subscription for anything in the world. It keeps me entertained when I am alone at home and it keeps me informed with what's going on in my country through the international channel.
