CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

Thursday we drove the kids to see the Christmas lights. This was a house somewhere in Wilmington that is always decked out with Christmas decoration. A lot of people have been coming by there as it is always up for the Holidays. We also brought along one of Kayla's friend Kelly since her mom and dad were working and we happen to have another booster seat for her so it was not a problem at all. The girls enjoyed it so much that they kept running around and saying look at that! Kaitlyn was also enjoying just walking and looking at all the blinking and different lights. It was cold so we really had all the girl dress up warmly. So here are some of the pictures we took.

GOOD NEWS FOR PET OWNERS

How many pets do you have in your household? If you ask me, i feel like a home is not complete without a pet. We have exactly 4 pets in the house a dog, 2 cats, and a very noisy guinea pig. We all love our pets and they become a part of our family, some even go as far as treating pets as if they were children. Pets no matter what they are need love, care, attention and most specially they need to be seen regularly by a vet. In our case, we had to forgo the vet visits for a year now since we are really tight with the budget. I does make us worry about the health of our pets since our two girls play with them on a daily basis. Its good to know that Pet Information is available online and is easily accessible. The site has all the information a pet owner would like to know from breed, to health, to behaviour. Its a very helpful site as it even has latest news about anything that pertains to our little or big pets. When you sign on you can keep track of your pets important records, make a detailed profile of your pets, set and manage helpful reminders and connect with other members. If you want more information about pet care just visit the site and for sure you will find the answer to your questions.

I HAVE RETURNED

I'm finally back!!!!!! Whew, what a week it has been. We got the pc up and running the other day. Thought it was all fine until the next day when i woke up. When i sat down to check on stuff i found some very interesting site that had been downloaded on my pc and desktop, A PORN SITE!. Now i know i didn't install it and nor has my husband been using the computer except to try and fix it. I almost tore my hair out again from frustration. I stood up and just watched television until my husband woke up and told him about what happened. We had to redo the restore all over again. Hopefully this will stay up and running until we can afford to get a new pc. Until now we dont exactly know what caused our computer to crash. Even though we ended up loosing all our girls pictures at least i got most of them saved on a cd and all his important files saved in this thumb driver thingy,lol.. Im happy to be back and i have risen from the ashes!

GET YOUR MOVE ON

I'm so happy right now since our computer is up and running but at the back of my mind I'm still apprehensive and pessimistic about the way our computer is running. As soon as our computer got fixed i just about did a dance for joy and relief that i will finally have connection to the Internet and continue with my blogging and talk to my family. Speaking of dance, have you heard of Evolution Of Dance starring YOU!?

FOR SWEET LOVERS

Do you have a sweet tooth? Are there times where you just crave for something sinfully sweet that even if you know its bad you still want it and would eat it over and over again until you have your fill? Well I do and so does my husband. I was also thinking about my step dad since he loves to eat anything that is sweet specially if its (Biko) sweet rice with caramel or something like that. Eating to much sweets has got to be bad for the health and could put us at risk for the dreaded diabetes. I have got to start cleaning up my act about eating healthy for the sake of my kids and also for me. For people like me we don't necessarily have to stop eating that sinfully sweet cake when you use Erythritol. Its a product of Emerald Forest which is a natural sweetener that is not only safe for our teeth but is also safe for people with diabetes. Ralph's brother has diabetes so this is actually good for him so he can still enjoy the sweetness without worrying about his blood sugar going up.

SANTA AND LAUNDRY

Tomorrow will be the day we take the kids to Christiana Mall to see Santa Claus. I'm very curious to see what Kaitlyn's reaction to be seeing Santa and being on his lap now that she has a perception of who are family and who are strangers. It will be very very interesting to see if she will freak out or flirt with Santa, lol. My day was spent folding most of Kaitlyn's clothes and thinking were and when will she be able to wear her hand me downs from her cousins. I still haven't finished putting away all the clothes since i got so bored with folding and i hate it! Doing laundry is never ending, one minute everything is washed, folded and put away the next there is a whole mountain pile of soiled clothes to be washed again! Will there be a day where there are no clothes in the laundry basket? That would be a miracle if that happens.

DEALING WITH STRESS

For the past weeks i have not really been feeling up to par. Then i realized that i am so stressed out with everything. As a stay at home mom i deal with everything in the house, with the cleaning, cooking, organizing, baby duty and all that stuff not to mention the stress of worrying about my husband while he is at work. I need something to help me cope and manage my daily activities without overwhelming me into getting stressed. I wish i could go to a place where they have stress speaker and just have someone who can I talk to and can help me out. The Stress Institute is a site where i got to read about the effects of stress and how to manage them. Stress can affect your health and well being and what is so wonderful about it is they explain our healthy can be affected by the stress and how it can be managed and avoided. I never thought that stress could do so much damage to my health, my life and family as a whole. Being a stay at home mom is not an easy feat as i thought it would be, but with my new found knowledge i have the edge of overcoming my stress and learning how deal with it. So to all parents out there you are not alone, we can deal with it and live a happy stress free life.

SHE ENJOYS THE WEATHER

Yesterday was not only cold but very windy. You could hear the howling and whistling of the wind outside. I didn't want to go out but i had no choice, hubby already left to do some overtime and i had to pick up Kayla at the bus stop. To make matters worse, i had to bring the baby with me in the blistering cold since MIL had a doctors appointment and had to leave. Leaving the baby in the house is totally out of the question. Kaitlyn loves going outside and i know she would enjoy going out to pick her big sister at the bus stop. Before it was time for us to go i made sure the baby was bundled up warmly and of course me. When we got out she was so happy and just wanted to walk and walk, if i picked her up she would wiggle to get down. Every time a big wind would come she would giggle and smile, she loved the cold wind on her face. I was freezing my butt off at the bus stop but there she was all smiles and happy walking around. I wish i had my children's tolerance for the cold.

HELP ON THE WAY

With today's failing economy and on the brink of recession we need all the help and resources we can get. As a homemaker you have to make adjustments in spending on things that are wants and the needs. My husband was divorced and with that he has been carrying an excess baggage of debts that needs to be paid and taken care of.We need a way to get rid of his debt without sacrificing on important stuff. We have already cut down on our spending and switched to another cellphone provider just so we can manage our bills and start paying off his debts. I spoke to him about Debt Cosolidation to help us better manage our money problem. The site offers a great deal of resources on how to better manage debts and is explained down to the very last detail. Ralph is the one who takes care and budgets the money and he needs help on how to manage his credit card debt, how to get student loan debt consolidation and they have many more resources you can choose from that can help you. Hopefully by the end of next year we will be over and done with all this debts and we can stop worrying about our growing debt.

IN A BOX

This is Kaitlyn in a box. You may be wondering why she isnt wearing a shirt. Here is the story:

When daddy got home from walking her big sister to the bus stop he decided to finish sorting the stuff in the basement. We didnt get to finish it the last time since Kaitlyn was getting so cranky and would touch and put everything in her mouth in the basement. So this morning we tried again with her and she was very calm, happy and just content sitting in her walker with some plastic spoons as toys. After a while she did get bored and i took her out and let her walk around. She tripped, fell and got dirty with all the stuff that was down there and we finally came up she was filthy. Its warm inside so i just left her without a shirt on and let her walk around for a little bit before she goes down for her afternoon nap. Rest assured she will have a shirt on! I just couldnt resist taking a snap of her in the box, my little trouble maker makes us all laugh!

SEE FOR LESS

In today's economy I always wonder and worry if we will be able to manage a house, pool, cars and having another baby. In a one income family you cant help but worry about these thing. In the process we forgo with things that we really need since we have to first priorities the bills. Like take for example my husband, he wears glasses and he needed one right away. We couldn't replace his new glasses right away since it was to expensive and he had to wait. Finally he got a new glasses that cost so much. If only we knew that there were affordable inexpensive eyeglasses that we could purchased, he could have had a new pair of prescription eyeglasses right away. Things like that doesn't have to wait with Optical4less where you can get a top of the line inexpensive eyeglasses. They are not only affordable and easy on the budget they also have wide range of products including : tinted sunglasses, bifocal reading glasses, photochromic sunglasses and progressive reading sunglasses. It doesnt stop there, they do worldwide free shipping ( with order of more than 1 ) , fast delivery speed, virtual try-on system, and fashion trendy stylish frames for everyone.Now, if Ralph ever ruins or breaks his glasses we wont have to fret and worry about getting him a new one now that we know we can get quality, inexpensive prescription eyeglasses for him.

GRAB AND EAT

This video was taken when Kaitlyn my little terror was only 9 months old. She looked so different here and still such a baby. It was a typical morning for us and she was getting cranky since she was hungry and really wanted to eat. I didn't expect her to grab the cheerio before it even touched her little table. She has always been a good eater and this is one memory of her that i will treasure. This shows her being the little piggy that she is and she is like me, enjoying the finer things in life and that is FOOD!

BE AWARE AND KEEP TRACK

As a parent you are always in the look out for anything that you think would put your children in danger. In the world and society that we live in, it is no longer safe for our kids. We have to keep watch on who our children associate with specially older people since we don't know if they are violent, sexual offenders or criminals. With the help of Prison Inmate Locator you can keep track and find out the records and whereabouts of criminals in your area. You can find federal records of anyone in any county, city and state in your area. It always pay to be aware and vigilant when it comes to the safety of your family.

REPRIEVE

Ye hey! I got a reprieve today from going out in the cold morning to walk Kayla to the bus stop. Since Ralph was home he usually walks her and also gets her at the bus stop in the afternoon. He knows i hate going outside in the cold weather and he takes pity on me. I just wake him up when its almost time to go out the door. The baby would cry every time they would leave, wanting to go out in the cold weather. If only it wasn't so darn cold i would take her out for a stroll but now that its definitely winter its out of the question. She is just stuck here in the house with me and terrorizing the dog and cats and making a mess of the whole house. Poor mama will have to clean up after her but still, i would rather stay inside than go outside...
