Happy Birthday Niko!

Baby Diapers

My little boy is finally potty trained! We haven’t worn a diaper for a month or two now! It gives me mixed emotions. I am glad for his milestone but I am sad at the same time because I know that he is really no longer a baby.

When we were still using baby diapers, I would always check for discounts and stock up on diapers! Buying in bulks with discounted prices helped us save! When I saw that Sam’s Club offer baby diapers and training pants online, I checked the well known brands like Pampers and Huggies, and I found out that those are the main brands they supply! It is also quite convenient since they deliver directly to your home.

Now, writing this post has made me miss changing diapers of my little babies... oh, how they grow up so fast!

You Are a Philosopher

You're incredibly introverted and introspective. You live inside your head. You spend a lot of alone time meditating and thinking. People see you as withdrawn, and at times they are right. You are caring and deep, but it may be difficult for you to show this side of yourself. Your strength: Your original approach to thinking Your weakness: You tend to shy away from others Your power color: Pale blue Your power symbol: Wavy line Your power month: July

Online Shopping Shortcuts!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Dirt Devil. All opinions are 100% mine.

Christmas is 34 days away! I can’t believe how fast the days go by! Aside from the gifts for my kids, I haven’t done any Christmas shopping yet. This is quite unusual for me since I am the type who usually buys gifts and wraps them even before December 1 gets here. I guess this year, I will be trying to shop online for some Christmas presents especially for those people who are not located locally.

With so many e-commerce sites to choose from, how would I know what is the best site to shop in and how do I find discounts and coupons? I was glad to have the chance to review the Dirt Devil 2009 Red Hot Shopping Shortcuts! The buying guide has been so helpful that it has saved me lots of time looking for great places to shop online. They even offer tips on how to save with online shopping! I am also amazed that there are actually quite a number of sites which offer free shipping for the holidays! There actually is an annual free shipping day on several sites and they promise to deliver the products by Christmas day.

It is always a challenge to buy gifts for my parents and my siblings. Dirt Devil.com has several holidays deals that I can choose from including Gifts for Her, Gifts for Him and Family Favorites.

I better start doing my shopping now to avoid the busy Christmas rush!

Mommy Moments - Yummy!

Our theme this week is Yummy! You can post about your kids and their favorite food or your experience with them if they are picky eaters.

When my daughter Kyla was a baby, she wasnt a picky eater but as she grew up, she became one! It is so hard to make her try out new dishes or fruits. She only wants to eat fried stuff. She also doesnt like candies, cake, chocolate or ice cream. Her favorite food is noodles! She likes it plain.



Toby is more adventurous when it comes to food. He loves sweets. Of course, his favorite is ice cream.


Join us at Mommy Moments! For those of you who still don't know, I am organizing A Mommy Moments Christmas Gathering on December 26. This is in celebration of Christmas and Mommy Moments 1st anniversary (anniversary is on January). Check out this post for more information!

Our First Year Together

The first year of being married was filled with adjustments. We had our exciting honeymoon trips, dates and major adjustments to each other! I had to adjust to his habits and he has to adjust to mine. We had our share of differences but so far, it was a great first year! I don't remember any major fights or misunderstanding at all... :) We are so blessed!

Here are some pictures from our trip to Bohol and Boracay!



One of the highlights of our first year together is that he fulfilled my lifelong dream of having a pet! He bought me a basset hound who we took care of personally and was like our first baby!

I am so thankful to the Lord that He has blessed me with a man who loves God and his family!
