I am grateful because…

1. God gave me life
2. God has me the best family in the world – which automatically includes Aj and hubby
3. God loves me unconditionally and no matter what he still loves and help me thru the day
4. God gave us blogging and cheap auto insurance! Lol! Kidding!
5. God gave us the wolrd where everything in it is beautiful

I am passing this on to Marlene, Roselle, LiletLira, Berry, Alpha, Amore and Chikai

HOW THIS WORKS:

1. Re-post the picture on your blog and pls. acknowledge where it came from. Kindly leave a comment on this post so I would know you’ve posted it.
2. Write down 5 things you are grateful for and the 5 bloggers you are tagging.
3. You may copy this or write your own quote regarding gratitude:

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” - Jeremiah 29:11

Who would not be grateful knowing God has plan for each of us? God is Good all the time.

 

A week without blogging

I’m blogging now at the comfort of our own home while Aj is soundly sleeping. I haven’t blog for 6 days because our internet connection at the office is “not connected” again because of some cut cable wires (again!) Though, I really should be blogging at home but I can’t because it’s only at those times that I can really be with AJ and take care of him. So in short, I rather do my mommy duties at the house when I get home from the office than blog. That’s why my only hope of blogging hard is our internet in the office. :)

Oh well, I just hope our internet provider will finally come this week and I can go back to my usual blogging routine. :)

Btw, we went to my mom’s house today because of some family emergency – my uncle was rushed to the hospital and was diagnosed with the “big C” tsk tsk :) I will tell you the whole story this coming week if I have time and if the internet is fully restored. But for now, I just want to tell you guys that I’m still alive! Lol! :)

Anyways, I got to go because hubby and I will buy a new tv stand for our new plasma tv.  Till then!

Hope you had a fab weekend! :)

Consolidate and be Debtless

 Are you in debt and needs help? Why not try debt consolidation?  

Debt consolidation is a hit nowadays, especially now that the world is experiencing financial crisis. Government debt consolidation loans are also being offered nowadays to citizens who need help on their finances. By consolidating your debts you automatically eases the burden of paying your debts, thereby transforming it from numerous to one debt only. This is very much recommended to people who are at the bridge of bankruptcy.  

How does bankruptcy works? Well, I don’t really now how but I assume it’s only means moneyless. Well, I don’t want to want to experience that ever in my entire lifetime! So, if you need help with your finances, try consolidating it and feel the breeze of living on earth debtless.

Guide to Parenting Disasters #2

Here’s another disaster guides for parents like me. :)

My Kid Is Stuck

When your child isn’t putting playing cards into the DVD player (these usually shake loose pretty easily) or shoving your driver’s license into the fridge’s ventilation grille, he may very well be coming up with ways to get a part of his body jammed into a seemingly impossible space. There’s the classic “toddler-head-in-the stair-banister” maneuver — but that’s just the beginning. Little kids manage to get heads, arms, legs, hands, feet, fingers, and toes stuck in everything from drainpipes and folding stadium seats to the fence around the zoo’s lion habitat.

What You’re Going to Do: The good news for you is that most often you can carefully guide your child out of the jam. With the head-in-banister scenario (and other head entrapments), ears are often the primary problem — try pressing them flat against your kid’s head, while you help him slowly move his noggin out of the gap. An ice pack can work miracles on trapped fingers and toes — the cold will create a little shrinkage, allowing you to make a nice, smooth extraction. If you can’t gently glide your child free, get something greasy — vegetable oil, shampoo, or liquid soap — to lubricate any stuck parts. But it goes without saying that if your attempts fail or your child is hurt or in danger, call 911 immediately.

Cheerful Thought: It doesn’t seem funny now, but as long as your child wasn’t hurt, this will some day be a hilarious family story that he’ll want to hear again and again.

 

A Lot to be Thankful For ..

I was really thankful to Enchie for giving this awesome message.

Thanks sis!  :)

Showing gratitude to the Lord for the blessings He’s bestowed upon us should be done every day; so let us make this day and every day a Thanksgiving Day.

Toy Hunt: Multi-Colored Toy/s

12252006242.jpg

This is Aj’s first multicolored toy. It’s a multicolored race track with 2 battery operated cars roaming around the tracks. My dad gave it to Aj as his first ever Christmas gift. :)

Aj was only 4 months old then. So cute! :)

Fortunately, this toy still exists and is safely kept at my mom’s house. :)

Have more toy hunt here.

Guide to Parenting Disasters #1

I was browsing the net this morning, when I came across this very informative and interesting article.

It’s an article about some disasters that we might encounter in real lives and how to solve it. I’ll be posting them one by one daily and hopefully we can have the sufficient help or information on caring our children.

I Locked My Child in the Car

ss_1012958881.jpg

There’s nothing like the sinking realization that your keys are inside the car with a young child snapped into her car seat. Smile, and wave to the kiddo while you figure out your next move.


What You’re Going to Do: Assuming your phone isn’t in the car, call for help. Depending on where you are (a crowded mall parking lot, your own driveway), you have a few possibilities: Dial 911, and some locksmiths will dispatch free assistance when a child is trapped in a vehicle. But rescue may be even closer than a phone call, since some security officers have lockout tools. If you don’t have a phone, enlist a friend or a passerby to get assistance for you. Don’t leave the car!


If it’s a warm day, cover the windshield and windows with blankets or newspaper to keep it from getting too hot inside. Obviously, leave gaps so you can see the kid and she can see you. Continue to smile, wave, and make faces. It is urgent that you get your child out of the car as soon as possible. If you’re in a remote location without a means of getting help quickly, breaking a window is your only option. Pick the window that’s farthest from your child, and get your hands on a heavy rock, a tire iron, or another hammerlike object. Be prepared to use a lot of force — car windows are meant to be hard to break, but the corners are weaker so aim for one of them.


Lesson Learned: It’s really easy to lose track of your keys when you’re juggling small children. Forgive yourself and trust that the memory will keep you from ever doing it again. Don’t forget to tell your tale to all your friends — in vivid detail.
