Feeling Loved...

My husband and I haven’t gone out on a date recently. As usual, our other priorities again took over. Yesterday, maybe hubby was feeling guilty when he told me we should resume our date nights every Wednesday. Hearing these words from him is even better than receiving a platinum wedding band – I lost my wedding ring a few years ago. Before the concept of date nights was alien to him and I still had to persuade him because he doesn’t like leaving the kids alone. Now, he’s the one volunteering. Hurray! It just means men do change. I just felt so...

Furniture Shopping Online...

A few months ago, I was looking for trusted dealers of cheap bed frames online. We wanted to replace our current bed because we have already been using it for a couple of years already and I thought we have finally outgrown it. Since we are co-sleeping with our kids we wanted a much bigger, king sized bed that would fit us. A bed is a big purchase so we want to buy it from a trusted dealer like Deals Direct. I love online shopping there because they have every kind of furniture you can imagine. I can furnish every room of our house just browsing through their site. Which...

Sports...

Lately I’ve been thinking of getting my sons into a particular sport. I was thinking of maybe encouraging him to have swimming lessons, it’s just that there aren’t too many available where we are located. Or maybe have him join a Martial Arts club. Since my husband and I consider ourselves as borderline geeks – without much experience in sports – we want a different type of upbringing for our sons. Although husband was good at table tennis and has a trophy to show for it, we hope that our sons will have a bit more sportier life than us. ...

Dogs and Carpet Don’t Mix...

My FIL gave us a small carpet to place in our living room. The carpet looked great and served its purpose as a center piece in our living room. We were quite happy with our gift until Chewee came along. Chewee is the shih tzu we gave our eldest for his fourth birthday. He was only a small puppy when he came to live with us and he was not yet housebroken. He was only less than 10 minutes in the house when he decided to pee in our beautiful carpet! We were all so shocked that none of us moved for about a minute. Right there and then, our eyes were opened that adorable as he...

Chandeliers...

The last time you entered a luxurious hotel, perhaps the grand chandelier captivated you so badly, you fell in love with the place instantly. The good thing is that chandeliers are not only exclusive for hotels. Now you can make your home hotel-like by installing a chandelier. You do not need to install an extravagant one. A small chandelier is more than enough to skyrocket the beauty and appeal of your house. Most often than not, people think that a chandelier is just an expensive addition for the house. However, this conception should be erased. There are chandeliers...

Small Details Count in Home Renovation...

When renovating your house, it is very essential not to miss the small details that must be placed and made inside the house. Most of the time, these small details are the ones that make a big impact to the total look of your house. Your house can achieve that additional beauty and elegance when you decorate your walls with nice pieces of tiles. A glass tile can be a good choice. These tiles are pieces of glasses but are cut into consistent shapes to become more uniform and neat looking. But glass tiles are more famous when making mosaic artworks. They can be used to...

Life Insurance is an Investment...

Adding a Room in Your House...

Adding a room in the home is a very exciting project. Right now our home is enough for our little family but with a child on the way I know that pretty soon we really have to expand our home. Expanding your home is not easy. First, you need to make a plan on where the new room will be added? Is there an extra space in your backyard or do you have to add another floor to your house? After the designing part, you have to take into consideration your budget for the construction. Once you have specified your budget then shop for a competent constructor that would do the...

Decorations...

You know what we need in our house? More decorations. I am challenged when it comes to designing our home. If it were up to me there would still be no paintings on our wall until now. Good thing hubby’s family left behind their wall paintings so we put that up on the walls. Still sometimes I wish I can beautify our home like a pro. Anyway, speaking of creativity we attended my hubby’s nephew’s first birthday celebration and I really got curious with their guestbook.  It was the first time I saw a guestbook where instead of the name the thumbmark of...

Renovating Our Home...

Now that we have our own home we can finally get a homeowners insurance. It’s not brand new so I wonder if we’re eligible for one. Anyway, we have plans to renovate it and add a floor or two when we have the money. We’re really saving hard and we’re glad we don’t have to pay rent anymore every month. I’m hoping that we can save up a lot faster so we can do the renovations sooner. Why I want to have it renovated so badly is because I want the first floor to be the place for our business. Our location is good because a lot of people...
