Back to my bad habit of staying up late to have a midnight snack (really should be plural) and surf the web. I've finished all the episodes of Glee so I should have been safe from another round of insomnia but I'm procrastinating sleeping. Figures. So much for my resolve to be disciplined. I will try again tomorrow :pI also noticed that if before I used to stay up late doing something as

I promise to post an update on all I was supposed to post. Yes, even from when it was Ginny's birthday! I just have to clean the house because that's what I said I'd do when I left the baby with her Grampa. Heehee. Just had to leave a little love note for ya.

It's been a while since I've updated this blog - much less thought of it's existence! Spring/summer has always been a busy time but moreso this year. No, wait, last year might have been busier since I was just about ready to pop then. Whatever, it's still been busy. From ensuring that most of the party details of my baby's first birthday party was covered to packing for the CFC Conference in

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it... LITERALLY!!!My mind is going about 200 mph and I here I am trying to think of an appropriate title but there's too many words or too little and I just cannot concentrate and I have to just come out and say it....I WON!!! I won, I won, I won!!!For the first time in my life I won something big - well, it's a big deal to me anyway. Especially now when I've

The life story of the mother of NBA star, Shaquille O'Neal, Lucille tells all in this autobiography. A light read inundated by Bible verses to supplement her journey. The book tackles a poignant childhood growing up in the house of her grandparents, away from her mother, a father with a verbal cripple, teenage pregnancy, drinking problems, financial struggles and an unfulfilled marriage that love

When the little one starts to sleep, this mommy tries to earn her keep... by trying her hand at baking once again. And so I give you my very first attempt at making Lemon Bars. Though the hubby has such good raves about it I think I got a little too excited in sprinkling confectioner's sugar on top. I might also lessen the lemon juice from what the recipe calls for. But here I am, at 2 in the

I'm not one to watch comic book inspired DVDs but since my husband loves the Justice League and watching that with him turned into a great revelation and enjoyment for me I thought I'd give this Bibleman DVD a chance. Our hero, Bibleman, and his loyal friends, the Bible Adventure Team, are in the middle of a training session when the Commandant of Confusion and his side kick, Chaos, appear out of

I picked this book as the first of my free books from Thomas Nelson Publishers through BookSneeze.com to review because the title intrigued me. Instead, I was pretty much bored out of my mind and have had such a hard time finishing this book. Don’t get me wrong. The major life lessons parallel to the hardships a 10-year old immigrant boy from Cuba who reached the unimaginable unattainable heights

While pouring over page after page of handmade paraphernalia @etsy I am just droooooling with envy at the wonderful creativity and talent I wish I had. A friend of mine sells cute notebooks and notepads online and I just wish I could do something like that. I've actually finished reading a book on crafting a business to go with this wave of longing to make something that sells. This bug got me

Maybe it's just this burgeoning Mommy-ness but lately I've been trying to figure out ways to be more productive in both mind and body while being a stay-at-home mother. It has been great to be able to spend 24/7 with ze bebe and it's wonderful to have some me time as well but most of that me time has been spent eating and being lazy.( Not a good start for 2010, eh? Here I use the word start

The storm is still here and it was raging last night. We actually had hail. At first my parents thought it was just thicker raindrops but I knew it was hail. Not just once but twice. The super finally came today to check out the blobs of water pockets one of our walls has. You know, when the water from the rain gets caught in between the wall and the paint? So it's kind of like a paint pimple

Ze Bebe woke up due to the loud thunders. Goodness. It's been a long time since I've heard thunder that loud. Truly reminiscent of the Philippines. What's different this time around though is the tornado warning that was in Orange County. What the heck, right?! Tornados in California?!

No one reads this (except YOU, dear friend!) so I feel like I can freely say whatever I want to. After downing a frappuccino in a bottle and snacking on junkfood, all I have between my ears are mumbo-jumbo I won't even try to make into a comprehensible blog. So that means bullet points about things I've been able to cross of my To Do list since it's still the first month of the year and I'm big

I would love to go back to Costa Rica. It was great experiencing it on a mission trip with my church group.

15 days to go before Christmas and here's a list of things I still need to do:- Buy the Christmas present for the hubby- Finish Christmas shopping (6/7 more to go methinks)- Wrap all Christmas gifts (so far I've wrapped and tagged only ONE)- Buy a Christmas tree (hopefully my father can help babysit while I go get a tree. fake one will do!)- Borrow Christmas ornaments from my father-in-law (love

It's been a while since I've gone window shopping and let me tell you... I become instantly ecstatic when at the mall, similar to a kid on that Hallow's Eve when candy is legal and abundant. Ecstatic!Quick background would be me having signed up on the stay-at-home Mommy list several months back. Absolutely blessed to have a hubby to support our growing family that allows me to stay at home with

Here I am - finally signing in to the Blogger world! I've got another blog that's relatively active for close friends and one other blog I recently started but the layout gives me headaches. So just checking out the love Blogger gives.
