Managing Time Wisely

My friends admire how I manage to do everything at home and then be a career woman too. They said they get inspiration from me. Well, I only do what i should and can do and that is the use of my time wisely and efficiently. When I have the time to go to the grocery stores, I buy everything already. I don’t want that thing like I will have to go back the next day because I run of this and that or I forgot about this and that.

I always have a spare, not a spare like one or two but a pack of it. Or for example instead of buying the usual batteries, my appliances at home or even my kids’ toys have aa rechargeable batteries. We cannot run out of electricity. Well, if we forgot to pay we will..hahaha…

But seriously, the usual batteries run out of energy most of the time but the rechargeable one can be charge all the time. My family will not even have to look for me to say, “Mom, it run out of battery but instead they will look for the charger and never bother me so I can keep doing what i do at home or some paper work from work. That is how to manage time wisely.

Proud Homemaker

My sister was using a flexible metal hose for her kithcen use and I thought it was odd using such because I know it is only for doing some kind of pressure when your pipe system is off or something like that. But she said that is why it is called flexible because it can do so much stuff and can be used in so many ways. I thought that it was a brilliant idea because you will not have to buy another for the garden, or another for other things things at home etc. It is all-in-one stuff which is amazing because being a household maker made my sister a homemaker at last!

Something beautiful

Putting more outdoor lighting was my mom’s obsession ever since. She is very fond of seeing bright lights everywhere especially at her home. She has this belief that if your house is thoroughly lighted, bad spirits are going away but there’s still that obsession with light especially the tiny ones. She made my dad renovate and redecorate the garden so that it will look good when people see them and enhancing them with pretty outdoor lights will definitely bring on the flavor.  It was a good obsession because something beautiful is turning out of it.

Sleepless nights no more

I have been feeling discomfort all night of every night so I decided to change the bed and buy a new one. This bed was here when I move in and I don’t even know who was the last person who sleep in here. It is not that I am judging or anything but ever since that day, that I needed to sleep but I can’t, I thought otherwise.

Memory foam mattress is juts what I need right now and so I ordered online, base on my friends’ suggestions and they arrived on time. It was the most amazing night of my life when I first lay my back on this softy cotton mattress. It was the best night ever and I hope that it will last for a long time.

Dinner with in-laws

My mom’s sink looks awful. This was the first thing I noticed when I entered her kitchen for the first time after I got married. I didn’t have the time to come and visit and I didn’t know this looks like this. My in-laws are visiting in town and they want to have dinner in my mother’s place next week and they better not see this kitchen sink my mom have. So, I took the liberty to buy some Franke sinks online. They shine when they are both clean and dirty so there’s not going to be a problem when we clean this after a long day if cooking. My mom have the best cooking skills so she tend to forget the cleanliness in the kitchen part, so I will be the one to do this when that dinner time comes.

For a loving man of the house

I have been saving for months just to buy my husband a home theater system with DVD for his birthday next week. I know that he deserves it since watching baseball is the only thing that takes his stress away. He has been working so hard to support our family and I want to make him happy on his birthday. I already talked to the appliance center shop and I told them that I want it delivered on the exact date of my hubby’s birthday. I am so excited to see the look in his face once I revealed my gift for him.

Wedding details

I asked my mom and dad to put up a small bar in the kitchen area for the guests on my wedding. I want to have this ambiance of a resto/bar type where people can feel relax when they are already tired from the all night partying. I scanned barstool online for some exquisite designs that I am thinking and hoping that I can find them there. I don’t have time to actually go shopping at the mall to look for them so an online store will be really helpful to me.

Family as always

PS3’s are in demand with kids and even adults these days. It was the favorite past time my family and my cousins use to do last holiday season. My dad bought so many games for it so we really enjoyed that holiday even if we didn’t tour around the city for a vacation unlike other families. What matters is that we have each other and that we spend it together no matter how we spend it.

Love for knives

I love collecting knives for a little while now and I maximize the use of it as a cutting tool at the garden. The Spyderco military knife is my favourite because they are unique and stylish as well. Others might find it weird to collect knives but it actually feels good whenever I have a new addition to my collection. I love collecting different designs and features and spyderco military provides different looks and styles. If you also want to start collecting such, you just have to make sure that you keep it in a safe place that is out of reach of children.

New Bedroom Theme

I love it that my mom decided that we can decide what we will do with our new bedroom in our new house. She said she can’t handle it all, now that we are grown ups. She has so many rooms to think about than our own room and I guess she made a pretty good decision there. I look online for some furniture and found some interesting cabin beds at this site. I can have a forest like theme in my new bedroom and even in winter time, I wouldn’t feel so cold. During summer, I won’t feel that hotness too because woods are just cool to look at..nature huh!??
