Though we don’t have plans of moving out of the house that we are currently renting, my husband and I still check out property websites from time to time.  We want to be updated with the property market, check the in-demand suburbs and know of new properties being built.  One time, we came across really nice houses with beautiful gardens, outdoor fireplaces, verandas and well-kept backyards.  After going over the details, my husband and I thought to ourselves that if we are to buy a property in a year or two, we want our future house to be simple (read as: requiring less maintenance).  In this country where labor is expensive, who will do all the cleaning and maintenance work?

For the past two years, I had planned on making personalized calendars to be given to families and friends.  I bought kits from Digital Scrapbooking sites and in both occasions, they went to waste.  They are pretty simple to do it’s just that the printing part turned out to be a hassle if not that it involves too much work.  Maybe next time, I should inquire from printing companies that make promotional calenders if they accept printing of small volumes of calendars and how much the costs will be.

Time really flies fast.  We are already on the 2nd quarter of 2010 and soon I should be shopping for kids ties.  My son will wear his first ever suit for a wedding and of course it needs a matching tie.  I’m looking forward to that event because both my kids will all be dressed up and for sure I will not get tired lugging my heavy camera where ever we go that day.

I’m still getting used to shopping for my groceries at the new mall nearby.  I’ve gotten used to the other mall for my weekly grocery needs that I can pinpoint which aisle to get certain items.  But I’m not complaining.  In fact, I prefer the new mall as it is very close to my daughter’s daycare centre.  I’m giving myself a month to get used to the supermarket’s orientation and hopefully by then I won’t have to pass by the aisle where weight loss products are displayed, it is just a waste of precious time.

I have to say goodbye to my size XS (extra small) and S (small) sized clothes when I go back to Sydney.  Because I have a feeling that I will never go back to that thin frame, ever.  It’s not that I want to, if not for leaving my old wardrobe behind, I like my built now.  Although I could live without the flabs, which cannot be targeted by slimming pills alone.  But hey, you can’t have everything in life.  Having a healthy and happy family more than compensates for my not-so-perfect figure.

One afternoon last week, I spent 4 straight hours of non-stop shopping!  (It was like on a natural testosterone high! Ha ha) I used to find shopping a chore, honestly!  But last week was different.  I guess I enjoyed the fact that I was out shopping by myself and was spending those hours just for me, me and me alone.  And because I enjoyed that brief time immensely, I may have to make a regular thing!

I have yet to do a fair bit of tinkering on my daughter’s blog.  Yes folks,  I gave in to temptation of creating yet another blog.  But this time, my motivation is to hone my daughter’s interest in art or photography.  She gives out this laughter and giggles whenever she holds the camera and I knew taking photos make her really happy.  I may submit her blog to web directories, who knows, she may get encouragement and tips from pros who stumbles upon her site!  But in order to that, I need to read more about these or I can just click here to learn more.

Leaving used plates and glasses on kitchen sinks used to be ‘unacceptable’ for me.  I couldn’t stand seeing piles of dirty tablewares left for hours on end.  But that’s only until I had two young kids and have learned to schedule the times I will spend dish washing.   It is true that kids teach you a lot of things.  One of them is prioritizing.  It is not practical to spend time agonizing over chores that are left undone.

This year has got to be the ‘busiest’ for us in our household.  And it is a welcome respite for me and my husband to plan for day trips, mini-vacations when we get the chance.  Of course, a major vacation is in order once the kids are a bit older.  By then, we will be booking trips to Disneyland, Universal Studios and who knows, probably we need to book for Outer Banks vacation rentals, too.  My husband will agree, we are so looking forward to holidays!
