Capturing Special Moments

Having three growing kids give parents a lot of responsibility in all aspects of life. You have to give them everything that they need for them to grow healthy and strong. They also need proper education to equip them with knowledge and skills so they will get good jobs and can face life with confidence. Most importantly they need spiritual awareness and good breeding so they’ll grow up as good individuals with strong faith in God.

Hubby and I always keep in mind to teach them all they need to know guide them in all their school and social activities and give them all the love so they can love others also. Each day we thanked God for giving us the blessing of having our three angels in our life. In their special moments and occasions I tried to capture all memories so when they grew up they will remember the good memories of their childhood. I make it my hobby to catch special moments in my camera and save them in my PC and online storage. I’m trying my hands now on scrapbooking and use my kids’ pictures on them. I know they will like and cherish it.

Zenni On Fox!

I’ve been wearing eyeglasses for several years now since I was in college. I’ve tried different styles that go with the fashion of the current times like wearing glasses with pink tint because that’s the latest among girls my age or wearing gold plated glasses to suit my new look when I had my first office job. Actually I’ve tried a lot but most of them were really expensive during those days. I would have liked stylish Great Eyeglasses For Less like what I saw in Zenni Optical.

Zenni offers quality eyeglasses at very affordable prices and have you heard about Zenni on Fox? The reporter looks into their claim of having the most affordable prescription glasses online that’s why Zenni Optical was on FOX news! It’s true that Variable Dimension Frames From Zenni is available online at the best deal you can have in the market. I’m glad that now we can have quality, style and economy all in one eyeglasses.

Book Fair

Alongside with St. Audry's costume party they also have a book fair sale at the entrance. Books on sale are coloring books, educational books on alphabets/numbers and very colorful story books ranging from small to giant size hard bound books. Good thing about school's book fair is that prices are on discounted rates. I saw books ranging from P30 and above.

Those books I usually see on famous bookstores are 25-50% less. I remember my second child Gen who's so fond of books but she's on her school on that day so she wasn't able to look on the books for sale. Anyway most of the books there are for Josh' age ranges from 3-6 years old so maybe she'll be a little bored on the lineup. Gen is so fond of Almanac books. Whenever there's a book fair on their own school Gen and Ruth gets to buy something that they like, I gave them allowances for buying books. Actually we have collection on thesaurus, synonyms, antonyms, science and educational books that they bought every book fair sale. How about your kids, what books do they prefer?

Recovery Period

After recovering from a week of losing energy and appetite I started taking multivitamins to regain my strength and boosts my energy. I always see to it that I eat at least 2 kinds of healthy fruits everyday, what I refer to as being healthy are those fruits which gives vitamins the most like vitamin C which I need right now. For now I’ll forget my diet and concentrate on full recovery. I might consider getting best diet pills after I’m normal enough to stop energy-boosting multivitamins. I know I should be giving myself a dietary plan but for this week onwards I’ll just rest. I’ll take it when I’m able.

:Today's Flower #12

Click picture to enlarge

This photo was taken in Bicolandia farm. Gumamela (Hibiscus) is a very common flower here in the Philippines, we normally just passed by them without taking paying much attention little did we know that its uses are not ordinary. They come in many colors, red, orange, white, yellow, pink and some say purple but I still have to see a purple gumamela.

It has many uses – the leaves can be blended with Rose Hip to produce herbal tea and can be used to cure cough, bronchitis, infections, sore throat, high blood pressure, mumps, boils, fever, headaches and many others. You can search online for herbal medicine preparation.

When I was a child it’s my favorite ingredients for my liquid formula for blowing up bubbles. I just mashed and squeezed the leaves and mix it with water and soap and voila I have never ending liquid for big soap bubbles.

Homecare For Our Seniors

Our seniors in the family should be loved and cared for. They should be given proper attention and support for they’re the ones who nurtured us when we’re young, raised us to be good citizens, taught us to be good humans and sent us to school to give us good future and most importantly they gave us life. In their golden years of living they tend to show some sign of weakness and not as strong as when they were younger so better caring should be given to them.

Sometimes it necessitates others to live in other country or some place that they couldn’t anymore care for their seniors. Or in other cases there’s just no one to look after them that it’s better to look for someone to take care of them like homecare in Greenfield Indiana which can give them proper attention and care.
