Newly Wed Friends

Luckily my friends who just barely moved in California found some good cheap furniture stores in los angeles. They do need to save some money because they just got married and wanted to live on their own. And they moved there because her husband was assigned by his company to work there instead. She hates to leave us her friends over here but she has no choice but to be with her dear husband. She is hoping that California will bring them good luck to their marriage life.

Glass Mosaic Tile

Hubby and i have been planning to move to a new house, but the question is when? We haven't done anything about it, and we do really need to find a new place for us because the kids are growing and they will be needing a room to each one of them. Yes, we do have enough room for both of them though but then the room won't be as big as they wanted it to be when they get older. Also, i want to get a new design of the house, i somewhat don't like the kitchen we have here in our house because it is too tight and not enough space whenever we have some friends over.

What i want for the kitchen if ever we will be buying a new house, i want to design it with glass mosaic tile. It looks elegant and classy looking kitchen i am going to have if i have that kind of wall in our kitchen or even to our bathroom. I want to design my own place, i want it to look just like what i picture in my mind. For now, i have to just live with what i have. Soon, when we buy the new house i have been dreaming, surely that our kitchen will have the mosaic tile that i love to put all over the wall of our kitchen counter top.

I am really good at spending money. As it turns out, I am not as great at saving it. As I’m recently married, this has caused a little bit of problem. When it was just me that was forced to eat Ramen noodles every night, it was no problem. Now that my husband is subjected to eating “leftovers” every single night because I spent just a little too much money on shoes, something has to give. He is not okay with that, unfortunately. I’ve gotten really creative with saving money, and I’ve cut back on my shopping, but I’m not going to completely stop buying adorable kitten heels. Let’s not get crazy. I have started to clip some coupons and shop the “buy one get one” sections at the grocery store, but that hasn’t yielded a huge savings so far. Here’s what has—since I live in Texas, I was able to call SHOP Electricity Rates Texas and have them shop around for a cheaper natural gas provider. This has saved us a lot of money. And my husband no longer sighs every time I say I’m going to the mall. That, my friends, is called a “win-win.”

Girly As Her Mother

Finally, we had the chance to take some family photo shoots but it wasn't that great like i really wanted it to. I had some good shots but i wanted more. If not the kids were being goofy, the father won't be looking or smiling in the camera that made me so frustrated during the photo session. And the other thing is, i really don't like indoor photo shoot, i would prefer an outdoor one because the background won't be as limited as the indoor shots.

Anyway, i am still glad that despite of the silly shots i got, i was still able to get at least two or three good ones. And after the family session, i took some snaps of myself, might as well that i was still in a good mood to do the photo shooting even for just by myself alone. But, when hubby saw this picture of mine, he mentioned that if only our little girl is with us right now, she would have been as girly as her mother. That, made me sad all of the sudden and made me cry. That's for sure, no doubt about that, that she will be prettier than me, in fact. But anyway, i know she is in a better place and she is happy with HIM. I love her dearly but GOD must love her more.

Home Insurance

Is your home insured? Well, sometimes that we are just too confident that nothing will happen to our house because we thought it is in a safe place and the neighborhood are just too friendly. But what if while you are away something might happen, like it could be you might have forgotten to turn off the candle, or maybe left some appliances turned on while you were in a hurry trying not to be late in your meeting or gathering or whatever. These are just some examples that could cause fire or permanent damage to your house.

That's why it is a smart move to have a home insurance. Because if you have it, you are more comfortable leaving your house unattended. Even if you will be gone for so long, there will be nothing to worry about because you have your house insured. Of course you have to make sure that everything is unplugged and candles were lit off before you leave, so when you come back, your house is just as how you left it. It is better to be safe than be sorry later on, and if accidents may occur, you feel bad as much because insurance will take care of you.

I Am Going To College!

One of my dreams is to finish my studies, really i have been thinking about it over and over in several times so i can think it over if it's really needed or not for me to to finish at least a four year course degree. Hubby is been so supportive with my plans though, i have no problem with him, he in fact, is the one who's keep on convincing me to start it soon as i can. But then since we have little boys still that i need to take care of full time, i seem can't fit any extra schedule in my daily routine.

Anyway, hubby said that soon as i get my citizen taken cared of hopefully next year, then i will start to look for a good school where i can find the degree i would want to finish and also not so far from where we live so i can easily get to my school without a traffic hassle. I have to agree with hubby, he is so right about that, so i don't have to rush everything up since i got not much of an extra time, i just can't afford to be late in school.

And on the other note, i am happy that i realized that there is a studentloan.com school loans that can possibly help me with the finances i need in school. Although hubby said he will try his best to have me finish my degree and he'll work hard for it, still i think that it would be a good idea if i have a student loan since they won't be charging so much interest since it is obviously for student enable for them to finish the degree they are taking.

I would say that this is really a big help for the students. Some of them maybe able to afford all the expenses at school but most of them are working hard just to have some savings that they can use whenever there is unexpected expenses. So by having studentloan.com school loans, it wouldn't be so bad to keep going and thinking on how are they supposed to find financial resources. With this, i think it is just a great idea and big break for the students who are looking forward to finish their studies to the university they are in to and will be able to stand on their own feet in the future.

Superhero Cufflinks

I have no idea that you can now actually get a superhero cufflinks. I remember when my father was still alive and during those time that he had some gatherings to attend, he always put button looking like to his long sleeve shirt, which i had no idea what it was then until i grew up and realized it's cuff links. I am glad that i found a store that sells different kinds of styles because i am planning to buy some pair for my son. I want him to look good when there's special occasion especially when he receives award from his school :)

Specialist Home Insurance

Some people may have not do it but most people does. It's probably because they find it unnecessary to do it or it might be because they have no budget for it. For us, it's really important to have a specialist home insurance because we never know what will happen to the house. No matter how safe we think we are doing, there is always an unexpected happenings that might come. It'll be scary to even think about it but we'd rather be prepared than feeling sorry afterwards and realizing we're not even fully prepared for it.

So enable for us to ensure our future and our kids's as well, we insured our house to make sure that we still get our house back whatever happens. Especially that our kids are still young and we cannot afford to lose a house if ever things will be hard on us, which we hope not though. We all hope for the best right? But we also have to be prepare for things that we definitely don't expect to happen.

Christmas Is Almost Here!

Is your Christmas tree up and ready for Christmas day yet? I would assume though, since the waiting is almost over, Christmas day is only few fingers count away. Our tree is been up since even before the thanksgiving day and the kids are all excited what they can find under the tree on the very day. Well, actually, we haven't shopped yet for them but we'll try our best with my husband to get the shopping done before the Christmas eve, lol!

Anyway, in case i won't be able to greet you all a Merry Christmas on the very day, i would like to grab the chance now and greet you all a happy holiday and may you have a successful new year of 2012! ♥

Maternity Clothes

The maternity clothes nowadays are just as stylish as can be. During the time that i got pregnant with my kids, i was looking for a stylish maternity clothing but could not find one at the mall or some boutiques i have been to. Now that i can't get pregnant anymore, i saw this online store where to get this beautiful and fun style of maternity clothing, oh darn! I just love the dresses and some other accessories! Too bad i didn't learned about this before. But oh well, at least i get to suggest this store to some of my friends who are expecting! :)
