I did not talk about my husband's life journey before we have each other. I think it is best that way as much as he thinks so. Yours truly like that idea as I believe the past should only have to deal with when it could encourage or for the betterment of the present, if not then forget it, don't you think? I don't know about you but that's what I believe so and I am entitled to that. :-)
Okay, so this is the first time I talked about her, my daughter-in-law. She is a darling. She gives me a warm regards when my DH and her talks. I can just remember she gave us (my DH and I) a gift on our wedding anniversary and that's more than sweet to me. Her current school is in New York, New York City. She has many friends and I think she enjoys (despite the hard-work of studying while working) there. She lives in a dorm or one of New York City apartment rentals. So far, she don't have any complains about her place' surroundings and the people and so. Yes, it is expensive living in New York but if you have guts with the right place, then you will have your success. That is a famous word of forefathers, "no guts, no glory" , that is, with the extra of the place/surroundings and the people. So kudos to her for being independent and being able to find a good place. I can just remember two years ago when she sent us her pictures as 1st Runner-Up Miss Jamaica-Florida in the University of Florida where she went for her study. She's a darling, sweet and thoughtful. I pray to have her all the best that this life offer!

The proper clothing or gear does not only make the person more comfortable but also provides the level of protection that the person needs. In certain occupations journey, such as being a fireman or a military person, the proper gear is important. In as much as having access to the firefighting equipment is important the proper protective gear provides the firemen the protection they need as they perform their duty. Wearing protective gears allow the firemen to move more comfortably and gives them the confidence that they will be protected from injuries. Clothing should have to be made like that of Nomex Fabrics that are not only known to have good textile properties but more importantly, should have excellent heat resistance properties. Firemen should use a a suitable protective gear of particular properties and type in order for them to work in a comfortable manner in the firefighting time. The choice of specific fabric woven of Nomex fiber which does not change with frequent laundering is very important. Okay, not only for firemen but all jobs which requires special comfort of suits.
Great fabrics are indeed should have to be very suitable or comfortable for any type of protective garment such as those used by workers in an industrial factory. The thing that military folks should have to use great fabric, is something that I can think of "it must be durable and quality in nature, don't you think? Now, that is something to think of. Smile. :-) The uniforms that the military use during combat should have to be made in the form that do not easily get burned and cracked-up.

Buying your own home is probably included in everyone’s to-do list or list of must-have for themselves and their family. Home is after all a basic pre-requisite if you want to have your own family in the future. It is one of the very first investments you will get together as a couple and the place where you will raise your little children and make lasting and happy memories together. Needless to say, every one of us here in this journeying this life we are living, is required to buy a home at one point or another. Unfortunately, not everyone has the capacity to pay for these properties outright. Come on, who actually has $400,000 in their bank account and are willing to spend it all at once? This is probably one of the primary reasons why some people end up living with their parents long after they were married and had children of their own. For those who dare to make their dream a reality, this is were home mortgages come in. Most of the people who actually do not have the financial capabilities to purchase their dream house in cash will resort to financing institutions, like banks and the likes, to help them finance this American dream. All they will need now is to raise enough money to pay for the down payment, so they can move in to their brand new house as soon as they can, and leave the rest of home mortgages to the financing institutions. Oh, and don’t forget getting a Home Mortgage 101 to learn about Aurora loans and the likes.
The financing institution will then pay for the total contract price of their newly purchased property and will then ask the client to pay for this amount in forms of monthly residential mortgages. More often than not, they also offer several alternatives on how you one would plan to pay for this mortgages and a person can select from these options based on their financial capacities and preferences. Of course, this process and the amount involved may vary from one bank to another, from one financing house to the next, but the principle is one and the same. If you are in the state of California like me, you can check a Consumer Home Mortgage Information and see some information and details about Home Mortgages.
Paying for home mortgages can entail long periods of time, give or take 20 to 30 years or so. That is why it is paramount to reconsider it a hundred times over before getting into a contract or obligation. It is best to do your research, study and learn about Aurora loans and other alternatives you might want to consider before actually doing it.

It came into this idea as yours truly is in the point of settling down. Well, after such, actually. I know where I have to stop and being contented of what I have. No more working wise and hard just to attain such goal but rather, making the most of everything I have. I like the idea of "I don't have everything but I am making everything I have" , don't you think this is a great adage? Okay, this is about why should we have to live life as it is the last. As in we just have to enjoy to the fullest. Enjoy the present, never mind the past (just make it as an inspiration and point of idea) and not to worry about the future as the future will worries itself. :-) As in, we just have to fully make what we can do today for the future and it will do its way. Being wise and hardworking would be the key but that is not all about it. Being contented too and knowing where to stop.
It is great to imagine one can think of not worrying of anything because they are doing everything what one can do currently. Now it is the fate to determine the next. Remember that God does wonders and won't leave us in the dark tunnel if we are doing good. HE even won't leave those non-followers, how much more those followers, right?
Alright, we just have to do what is best and God will do the rest. Living life as it is our last makes difference! :-)

I have heard of tales about how it is very hard to withdraw from smoking cigarettes once you acquired the habit. It is already a part of their life's journey. The old adage said that "an old habit dies hard" must have applied to this. It might have physiological significance, or it can be purely psychological, but the thing is it takes heart, determination, and a good ounce of self-control and discipline to curb a habit you’ve had for years or for months. Those who struggle to give up the habit of puffing a cigarette stick or two in a day would try Alternative cigarettes to help them transition to a smoke-free life smoothly.
If you put your heart into giving the bad habit up, you must do whatever it takes to follow through. Of course, this does not have to happen overnight, most experts would even advice to do this in moderation. Yes, I agree. Gradual changes will make it happen. He/She must have to take it note or remember it all the time. Nothing beats a "goal-oriented" character of a person. It really makes a difference if the recipient works unto it, until he/she sees him/herself out of that bondage. Good luck then! ~friendly hugs & kisses~

Everyday life, everyday journey, is there any difference? Monotonous? You might think. But oops! If you think about that, then please think again! There are many things to forward to. There are many things to be able to happy and gay. Don't you think? If not, then think once again (this is for your own good, forgive me to let you think thrice but this is for your ownself). Life is not just about struggles, household chores, kitchen journey, watching and doing some sports-related stuffs but yeah and again there are many and among them are having parties, going vacation, food trips, strolling and many more. Yes, party! When there is a party, I expect there is also some laughs, karaoke or dancing (either which). With such, party invitations, is just a need especially here in United States of A that every person needs an invitation or else you will be called a gate or party crasher (well, I think family members are excluded to that, obviously. *wink*) I am telling you about that because I want you to look forward of your life if you think it is already monotonous, because you deserve the former which the goal point is to be happy and forget about problems. Problems are always there, it is already our twin as a life sojourner so we have to know how to deal with it. And one thing to, is to distract such and look forward (or backward happy memories) for happy moments. Let us not give "nega" a thing to be with such. Let us attract positive vibes, apparently not the negative ones. Let us be optimistic in any sense! So let us party like a rock star! Ha ha! Why not? So plan yourself having a positive vibes to attract positive vibrations, okay? Party for love (of having a beautiful life) and get that invitations ready!

It is Thursday again. It is this day when Friday-off workers has to prepare themselves for the last day of their works. Though it is still 40 hours a week, but thinking about it is awesome for me. Why? You already know that I am not an office worker. I am just a stay-at-home-mom and a stay-at-home-wife. So now you already guessed whom I am referring to? Yes, you bet it! You got it. Before I knew it, just leave it on your own. Anyway, that doesn't matter with my sweet greeting to you to " Have a great happy Thursday" ! How's the day on your end?
I hope you have a great one and enjoying life (it is what it is for anyway) despite of the trials and struggles. Enjoy responsibly! Once again, Have a Great Thursday!

Yes, coupons! How do you like shopping stuffs of a great deal with coupons? Saving money out of it? Getting other stuff because you have save from the first one, yes, because of coupons?
It is interesting to know there are many people getting their stuffs at a great price through coupons. Shopping at such original price stuffs, is a pain in the neck (alright, pain in the wallet), well, much more if you are shopping for branded ones. I know it is great to own branded things since they are quality ones. I believe in the saying I myself is so fond of stashing coupons and when I am due to buy such stuffs, I would just get the coupons and apply it. The result, happy me with a saving or I still have money to buy for another stuffs. It is really a great saving when doing it. I don't know about you, but really, if you like to save money, having coupon codes to apply during checkout is a great help. If having such coupons like that in Hot Discounts are just right at your fingertips then why not! It would be a great news, isn't it? I am happy to give such links to help you save bucks. A lot of people dying for coupons. There are even wives, women and even men make it a career. Some are known for extreme coupon-ing which I found not a problem. Why would not? I cannot imagine if a person do not take a coupon if it is already handy, I do not know what to think of (unless if you will have to buy that coupons which sounds opposite since coupons are not made for that, it is made to cost you less!). Being savvy individual is one who does shops at a great deal at quality.
More of that, if you have other way of making your purchases to make it less (like discounts), applying coupon would make it lesser! Have a great shopping with coupons!

It is the time of the year to commemorate lent season. I don't know if other religion celebration Holy Week as much as Roman Catholic's culture.
Yes, today is "Holy Thursday" in United States of A. The day of commemorating Christ Jesus' journey as He was punished for saving human's first sin through Adam and Eve. Tomorrow is the day, "Holy Friday", commemorating the day He died in the cross whilst the day after tomorrow is the second day to which it is called as "Black Saturday". Then on the third day He rose again, that is why it is called "Easter Sunday", the beginning of Easter Season in the Church Calendar. I knew this as I went to Catholic School during my Junior and Senior years in high school as well as I graduated a 4-years course in a Catholic School as well. And we were taught about it, as much as we experienced the commemoration every year.
Since I married to a non-Catholic person (which I did not regret), I cannot really feel the moment and essence of Holy Week here in USA though I still remember what we were doing wayback. And so this post is my way of remembering and commemorating such!

Of myself. I just then realize that I only ate once lately (dinner) which supposedly thrice all (one for breakfast, lunch and dinner). The hungry had passed. But lately as I woke-up in the middle of the night to feed my Sam, I felt uneasy. As in looked like my knees chilled. It seemed like I feel very cold but after I ate 3 pieces of my favorite nutty slice bread and a cup of "ovaltine with fresh milk", I felt great (that is why I am still here now blogging. Ha ha! Ooh well, I didn't like standing in the kitchen (or anywhere else) also lately to which I supposed to continue cleaning my Sam's feeding bottles. So what I did was just blogging. Yes, just sit and relax and just let my mind flow with the help of writing. I am in good mood to do posting now which is great. After this, I like to continue my kitchen and in-sink chores. So, should I have to say "bye" in advance? Okay, bye. See you next time. Thanks for reading this journey and steps of mine. I like to share my random thoughts to which I hope my experience helps you in any thing good.
You have a great day! ~hugs&kisses~

I think that the best kind of storage or decor is the kind that makes everything look really nice. There's no use in storing things in ways that don't look really nice. That's just no fun! So when I started thinking about a way to organize my closet and all of my accessories. What needs it the most though are my purses. I have so many of them and forget some of the cute ones that I have so I'd like to be able to look through them easily.
But I have no clue as to how to organize them in that way so I looked online to see what I could find. While I was browsing storage solutions I found this debt counseling site that I thought would be a really great resource. So I'm going to consult that about my personal debt and see if it can be of any help.
I did find a couple of cute storage solutions, although I think that I also just need to clean out my closet so that I'll be able to see more of my stuff period.

When I sat-foot here in United States of A, I learned to appreciate the art of NBA sport. If you read my post/s about it which I wrote in the past, then you already know why. Okay, it's not a biggie deal for me to repeat, that I already appreciate the basketball sport even when I was in my younger/little years of age in my birth country, the place where I learn to appreciate the beauty of this world. Yes, where I was raised. And why? That is because basketball has been the famous sport when fiesta celebration is approaching up to the fiesta day. And not only on fiesta times but also when there's other events but the former is when it is famous aside from the fact that it is always present during intramural s day at school.
Now that I have my little one, I am handful, and that also means to more time of watching NBA live in TV especially when Lakers play. I can watch for few minutes but unlike the times when my baby love Sarah is not yet here. I can just reminisce of watching it most at the time of my pregnancy days. I wonder if my Sarah also loves watching NBA, huh! Well, let's see that then. :-)
How about you, do you also love watching NBA live in TV? How do you like it?

Babies are a welcome addition to any family. Preparations for making the home child-friendly starts the moment a couple finds out that they’re having a baby. They begin to buy furniture and home fixtures that will make their home a safe place for the baby. Months before the baby is born, most parents have already bought everything that the baby will need like preparing the baby’s nursery and buying things like a crib, bibs, baby clothes and the like. They also buy baby strollers or push chairs that they can use when they bring their baby to the park or when they go out for a walk. As the baby grows, their needs also grow. And in times when we cannot leave them at home, or when we have to take them somewhere like for a doctor’s appointment, we have to make sure that our cars are child safe, too. High quality pram or baby car seats should be added to make traveling with your babies safe and more enjoyable. Trusted Dealers can provide you with the best quality baby car seats. They understand that your baby’s safety is your priority which is why they do their best to help you choose the best baby car seats for your baby.

It is a common adage, "too much to do, too little time" and yes, that's what I am feeling right now. Much chores piled-up waving up on me to finish or at least getting the most of it. If only I can buy time. But not now, not ever. Maybe, in the sense of "reading between the lines" I can buy it sometimes, but as I said, not this time. Gr! I know, this might also what you are feeling right now. So, appear?! Cheers to that, ha ha!
It is not easy I know. But this is our life, we have to learn how to manage it so we can have a great life. An order life is a boring life, maybe but maybe not. As I said, it makes it easy and less stress. A manageable one, that is. What we could just then do is to maintain it.
And so we have to strive hard to control our time that we won't be stressed-up even just by thinking about it. Relax and enjoy the time-being. How I wish I can have that this time. Well, I know this won't be long. As it has been said "no pain, no gain" , "no perseverance, no fruits", so endure it! As long as we're in the right track, that's all that matters, don't you think? Have a great one!

Getting a speeding ticket is not only embarrassing but can also cause a lot of other inconveniences. It can also be quite expensive on your part which is why it is something that everyone wants to avoid as much as possible. There is a way for motorists to avoid getting ticketed for over speeding. Best Radar Detector can be mounted on your dashboard and help you detect traffic radar used by law enforcement to record your driving speed. Not all highways have the same speed limits which can be hard for some motorists to remember and this could be why they may not be aware that they are already driving over the speed limit. Best Radar Detectors 2011 can be a great source of information for those who are looking for quality radar detector that they can use.

Good "mornight" as I always say. Meaning, the night is already morning/dawn and I did not get a chance to spend a good night sleep as it is what should be. Blame it to motherhood and wifely-hood. Ha! I am just a little kidding. *Grin*. I am busy. As much as I like to do all things but I just cannot. Well, sometimes I manage to do that. But what am I up to for that? As long as the important ones has/need to be done is all set, then that is. Yes, it is just easy to say that but really, it is really very hard (I am not complaining though. It is my choice anyway, but still wishes, there's somebody I can lean on. Ha ha!) doing it especially if you are in my situation. Good thing I won't sweat on the basic needs, I can just imagine if basic needs aren't handy. Gosh! :-) Anyway, I can do this. Aja! After all, it is just on our minds. We should not dwell on the negativity and just focus on what we could do in the situation. Being an optimist attracts positive outcome and that is what I did and am going to do. By all means. I always pray to God to not dwell on negative people and just pray for them. Help them as I can. For God, is good, great of all great!
And so, here I am doing one of the process of time management. I adjust my time as to the comfort of my family. I am just grateful I own my time. I cannot do the time machine and such but I am grateful as it is. And it is time to park the keyboard and see you in the other posts and updates! Keep in touch and always be great on your journey here in the world wide web and as a life sojourner. It is time for me to do the other pending tasks. Have a great mornight!

Saturday has its own journey. It can't be stopped, nor it can be advanced. It steadily go a week after week.
It may not be a great and full of fun Saturday for you but for Saturday, it is already a fun one since it already passed then, don't you think? He! What made me think of such. Alright, it's the start of weekend. I may not be going to shop or stroll the way I want to, I many not be as happy and relax as the other Saturdays but for sure, I am happy that my DH can stay in our house as he don't get up early five o'clock in the morning (5:00 a.m.) for seven o'clock (7:00 a.m.) work and come back at after six o'clock in the afternoon going evening (6:00 pm). He may have stuffs to go which needs him to go out in the house but not that much compared of him working in the office. The catch? I can wash clothes, have a long shower and anything that need attention of our daughter Sam as a sitter. I don't do things which take long or out in the house (doing laundry is meters away out in our apartment though it is just here in the complex) without Sam's sitter.
And so, have a great Saturday! Smile. :-)

I have a great day today. Though I woke-up late after being awake at dawn time (I cannot sleep thinking of the soon-happened day of my daughter two days from now) and haven't eaten yet (am in diet you know, I just have a little meal too) to which am hungry now, but am fine. Oops, it is very fine of having a small meal as I am in diet now. Good thing I am not breastfeeding. Alright, my daughter is already six months old anyway. :-)
And so, despite of the thoughts in my mind of my family journey specifically for my daughter two days from now, God knows how to comfort me, HE gives me what I need and even what I want. Great words I got yesterday and some good things happen today which makes my heart fonder. Thank you Lord for the blessings! Indeed, I have a great Monday. And I am sharing this, as a positive vibe. Let's spread the positive vibe! Smile because you deserve it!

1) Letter sounds- In the English language there is only a finite number of different sounds. Once the child has a simple command of the sounds that come out of their mouth then there are the solid foundations that lead to rapid improvements
2) Letter names- Once the child knows the different sounds in the language, the next important step is to teach them the different letter sounds. In other words, they need to know the alphabet but the order of the alphabet is not yet important.
3) Recognize letter shape- before learning what sound goes with what, a basic recognition of each letter shape is needed. Once the child is able to recognize these different shapes then it is a lot easier for them to build their spelling skills. There are many different ways to do this, one way is by having fridge magnets in the shape of letters, even reading your book with them looking over your shoulder is useful as they are slowly getting more and more used to these shapes.
4) Forming letters- Once able to recognize the shape, the next step is for the child to be able to form the shape of their own accord. The importance of this is obvious, without this skill it will be impossible to write at all, let alone be able to spell to a good standard. There are lots of fun ways to do this. One way is to make some plasticine and mould the letters with this, this is a great example of an activity that is both educational and enjoyable, another way to do this is by drawing the letters in the sand.
5) Refine Sounds- Go through the speaking process again but this time make sure each sound is made more clear than before, this is so there is no confusion between each distinct sound which will cause confusion later on in the process.
6) Refine names- Learning the letter name with clarity is important for the development of the communication of spelling, and the language in general. It is also crucial for the next few steps.
7) Awareness of letters- Show the child that letters are everywhere, point out what letters are what if possible. A good way to start this is by using letters from the child’s name and showing that they are in all different kinds of words. This is because the familiarity of their own name is far greater than any other word, and thus will be able to associate that with letters a lot more easily.
8) Spelling their name- Although they may be able to recognize their own name on a piece of paper, the next important step is for them to be able to write it by themselves, this is the start of the creation of the word bank.
9) Learn alphabet- Teach the child the alphabet song, this will mean they will be able to know the order of the alphabet and will also give them a better all round knowledge of all of the different letters.
10) Ispy game- Showing you child different words, make them sound out the first letter of each word, once complete, the basics of spelling is finished.

Once this is mastered, it is necessary to build upon this. One way to do this is to use a revolution prep coupon to get a great supplementary education experience but not breaking the bank!
