Tales From The Mom Side

Home Renovation

2011-12-13T22:43:00.001-05:00

We're thinking of having our bedroom renovated. We wanted to have the walls repainted because we never really like its current color. You see, when our bedroom walls were painted, we never got to see beforehand the color it was going to be painted with. The contractor just never asked us to see it first before proceeding to paint it. So when we saw it, we found out it wasn't to our liking. So

Christmas Shopping

Christmas is fast approaching and I am really excited about it. What I love about Christmas is the chance to spend some time with loved ones, show everyone how much you care about them through gift-giving. So I am now really preparing for the gift-giving part. I am making a list and checking it twice, so to speak. But since money is quite tight at the moment, I am also trying to find ways to save

On Muscle Supplements

2011-03-30T22:20:00.001-04:00

My friend's husband is big on body building these days. He was not like that before, but just suddenly, and out of the blue, if I may add, he just got this urge to go body building. Oh well, stuff like that do happens, I guess. At any rate, he has just joined a gym near their place and has been religiously attending workout sessions there everyday. My friend told me he's also looking for muscle

Needing a New Scale

2011-03-24T01:22:00.001-04:00

I just realized today, this morning to be exact, that our bathroom scale is deteriorating. It's not exactly broken as it is still working, but it's kind of frayed around the edges. The paint and decorations have been peeling and it's looking really shabby. I'm thinking of getting a new one. Something that looks better and nice, and I'm thinking that I'll include our current bathroom scale in the

Birthday Party and Birthday Gift

2011-03-17T01:41:00.001-04:00

My friend's birthday is coming up soon. She's turning 33 and we're throwing a birthday party for her. It's actually a surprise birthday party that was planned by me and our other friends. We're holding it at the house of one of our friends, and we're all busy and excited about it. I'm in charge of the decorations, which I'm thankful for because it's something simple and not as complicated as

A Career in the Medical Field

2011-03-12T21:57:00.001-05:00

I know a lot of people who are taking up second courses relating to the medical field right now. A friend from college, for instance, is taking up nursing. Our neighbor, who lives a few houses down our street, is taking up some associate degree in the medical field. And I know many more who are doing the same thing. I guess this has something to do with how it is reported that the medical field

2011-03-04T20:31:00.001-05:00

If you're a credit cards user—well, who isn't really these days, right?—then you'd definitely need an rfid blocking wallet. What's an rfid blocking wallet? Well, an rfid blocking wallet is this sort of a device that protects you against people who wants to illegally get your credit card numbers and other info. You know, your credit cards or passports have that tiny two way radios called RFID

Our Elderly Neighbor

2011-02-26T20:45:00.001-05:00

We have this neighbor who is an old woman. She doesn't live next door to us, but her house is still in our street. We often see each other whenever me and my husband would go for a walk or a jog in our area. She's somewhere nearing 80, buy I've got to tell you that she's still really very agile and strong. We would sometimes meet her down the street carrying lots of grocery bags and she still

Another Weight Loss Endeavor

2011-02-26T20:36:00.001-05:00

Another person who I know is trying to lose weight is a former classmate of mine in grade school. We actually haven't seen each other for many years, but we did reconnect again in Facebook. You know Facebook, you meet a lot of people there that you haven't seen in a long time. Anyway, we chatted in Facebook, talked about how each other is doing, and the like. She's somewhere in Vermont now, with

Wish Them All Success

2011-02-26T20:28:00.001-05:00

More and more women are trying to lose weight these days. And you know, that's really a good thing. Losing weight results to being leaner and slimmer, which in turn leads to being more healthy. I have this neighbor who's starting to plan to lose weight, too. She's been telling me how she plans to diet, exercise, and the like. She's been overweight for years and she said that somehow she has

Saving for a Cruise

2011-02-25T21:32:00.001-05:00

My friend and her family just came back from a cruise in the Caribbean. So, wow! I'm really impressed. She was just finished showing me lots and lots of pictures of their cruise vacation, and boy, it was absolutely amazing! They got to ride in this 12-storey boat that practically has everything in it. She said it has a big pool, movie houses, bars, restaurants, a golf course, a gym—all the works!

2011-02-25T21:20:00.001-05:00

You know what? Well, my husband, who has not been prone to acne for a long time now, has been getting acne quite a lot lately. Yes, siree, he's not a teenager anymore, but there it is: acne on his face. There was even a big one on the side of his face a few days back and he was really upset about it. He has been complaining to me and asking about why he is still getting acne at his age. He has

Muscle-Building Help

2011-02-25T20:58:00.001-05:00

Have I mentioned that my husband has been busy getting fit? He's been exercising a lot, eating right, and really working hard to have a healthy lifestyle. And I can say that it is quite paying off well. And he noticed that, too. But there's something he still wants to achieve, though. He wants to build muscles to look better. He's thinking of taking pro complex to be able to do that. He said that

Looking for Anti-Wrinkle Creams

2011-02-23T21:41:00.001-05:00

You know what, I'm starting to see signs of wrinkles in my face. No kidding! There aren't really that many. In fact, really only a few of them, and you can see them only when you look close enough, but I'm really getting worried. I mean, who wouldn't, right? Anyone who wants to look young always would really be concerned. So I'm thinking that I should start using anti-wrinkle creams. But looking

About Babies

2011-02-16T22:03:00.001-05:00

A lot of my friends are either pregnant or now new mommies. So I'm expecting to get invited to many baby shower parties and baby christenings soon. Oh, and not to mention, baby birthday parties. And I love that! Not only would they be a great time to bond with my friends, but they would also be a lovely time to talk about baby stuff like preparing for the arrival of their babies, seeing their

Advertising the Business

2011-02-16T21:50:00.001-05:00

Remember this friend of my husband's who's starting his gym business. Well, my husband and I think that he should get some advertising going to attract customers. As his business is new, he needs some sort of advertising to let people know that his businesses would be opening soon. We thought about having some sort of a notice, or notices, perhaps, printed in the local newspaper. That would help,

Redecorating Our Place

2011-02-16T21:27:00.001-05:00

I need to redecorate our little place soon. It looks kind of boring from the outside already. I've been quite busy the last few weeks that I hardly had time for some redecorating outside. It's high time that I take some action. So I'm thinking of painting the exterior walls of our house a new nice color. It currently comes in beige and I thought I'd go for something bold and eye-catching this

Bifocal Safety Glasses

2011-02-10T20:23:00.001-05:00

My son has this experiment in school that I think is kind of dangerous. Well, not really that dangerous maybe since if it's a school experiment, then it's tailored for kids his age. But then, I have my doubts, so I told him to use some bifocal safety glasses when he finally performs the experiment. I think it's wiser and really safer to use bifocal glasses. You can never really tell what will

Gym Business

2011-02-05T21:14:00.001-05:00

A friend of my husband plans on starting a new business. He wants to venture out on some other business that's different from his current business. He currently owns a retail store, and he said he's ready for a new venture now. So he's been asking around as to what business would be good to start these days. Another friend suggested he opens up a gym. Our town has currently no good gym where

Looking for a Supplier

2011-02-04T10:57:00.001-05:00

I have this friend who runs an allied services business. What they do is that they hire people to work for other companies. These people are their employees and not the employees of the latter companies. The companies are my friend's clients who hire my friend's company to provide them with people to work in their businesses or establishments. Most of the people my friend hire are assigned as

Wanting a School Backpack

2011-02-04T10:33:00.001-05:00

My son is homeschooled. Just like anything else, it has its advantages and disadvantages. Advantages would cover being able to be with him 24/7, being able to choose the curriculum he will take, and the like. One of the glaring disadvantages is him not being able to socialize. But we do take care of that in the sense that we let him enroll in sports or art lessons so he could socialize with kids

A New Mattress

2011-02-01T05:14:00.001-05:00

There are days when my husband complains about a hurting back—his hurting back, in particular. It must be from the previous night when he slept. Probably his sleeping position. But we're suspecting it must be our bed mattress that is the culprit. Our current bed mattress isn't anymore sturdy. Some parts are sagging, while some portions are lumpy. That must be what's causing his back pains; he

Gift-Looking

2011-01-28T04:47:00.001-05:00

My son's best friend's birthday is coming up. So I asked my son what gift will he be giving his best friend this time. He just shrugged his shoulders and said he doesn't know yet. Oh, boy! I told him he should start thinking of one now considering the fact that in a few days it will be his best-friend's birthday already. He said he would. But you know how kids are sometimes, they tend to forget.
