GOING SLEDDING

Yahoo we might going sledding tomorrow. Ralph was so excited when he found out that we may be getting about 1-3" of snow. Its suppose to snow tonight as well as tomorrow. He said that if it does snow tonight and we get enough snow we will be out first thing in the morning to take the girls out sledding. I had to make sure that Kayla and Kaitlyn both had snow pants for the outing tomorrow. Ralph then looked at me and asked if i was for a fun snow play. To be honest, i don't know if ill stay out long with them and play in the snow. I'm very excited for Kaitlyn though since this will be her first time ever to have fun in the snow with her daddy and big sister. I wonder how she will react to the feel of the snow on her handS and face and how long she will stay out in the cold,lol....

TAKE AWAY THOSE FATS

As soon as winter came i was stuffing myself like crazy, thinking that summer is still months away. My excuses for eating was as lame as saying i was "hybernating" and i was hiding behind my awful sweatshirts and pants. The Holiday that past didnt help as well, with all the delicious food i could not help but eat. So without know it i had gained weight and i feel lousy. Im a mother of a toddler and i dont have time to really go on a daily exercise. Its not just me that gained weight but also Ralph and he has been looking intoEffective Diet Pills that could help him loose the excess weight. Ralph has narrowed down his selection to Metabo Speed that helps burn fats quickly, boost your metabolis, deminish appetite and slim down faster. Before winter ends we will finally be able to loose that excess fat.

WALK WITH STYLE

Dressing up was one of my weakness when i was still single. There is just this feeling of energy and confidence when i dress up and know that i look good.There are only a handful of things that women are fickle about that's jewelries, clothes, bags, make-ups and shoes. In my mom's younger days she use to dress up in style and had matching outfits from her bags, dress and down to her shoes. She must have owned over 50 shoes ranging from different color and designs. Shoes is one of the important accessories that can make or break an outfit your wearing. A great pair of dani black shoes can get you a long way and you can pair it with just about anything. The important thing about buying a shoe is not just the design and how it looks but take into consideration the quality of the shoes and how it feels under your feet. I must admit that i have not really bought a good pair of fashionable shoes in a while but seeing the daniblack collection makes me want to get a good pair of evening shoes. Like this one:

Violet

• with soft sating flower detail
• padded insoles
• adjustable gold dress buckle
• a 3 3/4 " covered heels

As a mother of two girls ages 5 and 15 months i have to be on my feet most of the time and with summer not far away getting the right kind of flat shoes is important. Wearing flats has never been my thing but seeing the Bess shoe just made me think about getting it. The shoe not only looks fashionable but looks sturdy enough for wear while running around with kids. Daniblack has fashionable, chic and durability rolled into one with a plus factor of affordability.

KAIT THE BLOGGER

Kaitlyn loves to imitate mama all the time. When I'm on the computer doing my blog and checking my e-mail she wants to sit on my lap and bang on the keyboard and play with the mouse. Of course i can do what i have to so i had to find another way. We had an old keyboard and an extra mouse in the basement and i took that and put those things on the table in the playroom. She likes to sit by herself and pretend to be me, and its so funny coz she tries to type and maneuver the mouse as well. She loves following her mama and maybe one day she will be a blogger like mama.

I HOP FOR iHOP

Last night Ralph's brother Larry and his girlfriend Teresa arrived. Larry is applying for the Police Academy, his scheduled physical endurance test was today at 10 a.m. Kaitlyn of course was already sleeping when they got in last night. This morning when we got up Kaitlyn saw her uncle Larry and cried as usual but after about 10-15 min she finally warmed up to her uncle. She even went in his arms and gave him not one but two kisses on the lips. Angelo, Ralph's other brother was also coming down the house today so when Larry got back from his test we decided to eat breakfast out again at iHOP. All in all there was 9 1/2 of us, Kaitlyn being the 1/2. As soon as Angelo and his family got in the house we left immediately for iHOP and the place was jam packed with people. The food was awesome, delicious and portions were ginormous! I was going to take a picture of the food and of us enjoying breakfast out but i didn't think about bringing my bag let alone the camera. But all in all we had a good time and left with a full belly. Kaitlyn got to spend time with Angelo after Larry left since he was always by Kaitlyn's side. Kaitlyn loved the attention both her uncles and everyone else was giving her. If you ever want to eat breakfast out and leave with a full stomach, head on out to iHOP.

SHIRT WITH A MESSAGE

Are you expecting and worrying about what to wear when your belly starts to grow? Nowadays with fashion its not difficult to find something that a pregnant or expecting mom can wear. When i was pregnant i didn't have trouble finding clothes as there are so many selections out there. I however would have loved a Baby ParTees Maternity Shirts that i could have worn while out and about. They have high quality shirt materials that just hugs the ever growing belly. They even have Maternity shirts design with crystals to announce the gender of your baby. That would have been a good use to me when i was about 8 months and people kept asking me what I'm having. With the Maternity shirt from BabayParTees you don't have to say anything, they be able to read it loud and clear with intricate beading design. The Maternity shirts are also a neat way of telling family or friends that your expecting. Do you know someone that is getting married? This is an excellent gift idea for the bride to be. They also have shirts for brides or brides to be down to your entourage. Wearing a shirt that beautiful will certainly make a statement for a new bride now, wouldn't that be great? You don't have to say a word since the shirt will say it all for you in style!

HER ANTICS

Kaitlyn turned 15 months yesterday and boy is she a handful. She gets into everything and its just drives me nuts. As she is growing she is becoming more adventurous, funny, temperamental and without fear. Yesterday Kayla was in the dinning room playing with her laptop while i was in the kitchen preparing dinner. Suddenly i hear Kayla saying that the baby is on the table, I just thought that she was under or by the table but when i got there she was on top of the table sitting facing her sister. I asked Kayla who put baby sister there and said nobody.I asked again who put baby sister on the chair so she could have climbed up the table and again Kayla replied nobody. Kaitlyn climbed on the chair and onto the table all by herself without any help. Now that her legs a bit longer she has been into climbing now and ill have to keep a close eye on her.

TO A GREAT MAN, MY GRANDFATHER

Tomorrow will be my grandfather's 78th birthday. My mom and sister are still in my hometown since my grandmother's sister was buried just Monday and they decided to wait for my grandfather's birthday before going back home to Cebu. They will be having the famous roasting pig (inasal) for the birthday celebration tomorrow. How i wish i was there to celebrate with my grandfather. My maternal grandparents are so dear and close to my heart. They were the ones who were really there for us when times were tough. The strong hand when we needed discipline, the comforting arms when we needed it and always provided words of wisdom. They may not be rich in material possession like my paternal grandparents but they are more than rich in love, compassion and family. My grandfather is a strong man, he is not afraid to cry, to reach out for help, he is independent, loving and patient. He works his tail off on his lands and i am witness to that. To my grandfather i love you so much and you are my hero.

These animals are not just pets but are part of our growing family. They have there own quirky personality but that' s what makes them uniquely different from each other. With pets around we sure do get a kick out of how funny they are at times. Did you know that with your pet pictures you can win as much as $500 big bucks? Its really simple, all you have to do is check out the link above, submit a funny or scary picture of your pet. I myself would not let this pass and entered Ralph's scary cat Oreo.

SHE HAS GROWN

This was Kayla two summers ago. Looking at this amazes me how much she has grown over the past years. She looked like a baby here compared to now. This at a carnival festivities in the city. She just loved going on that slide and only rode on some of the rides. She is so tan and beautiful here and still is. Our little baby before is now a Manang (big sister) and she is growing more beautiful each day. This was also the picture we provided to the school when she became student of the month when she was still in pre-k.

GUNS AND SAFES

As a wife of a Police Officer I not only worry about my husbands well being but also the safety of my little girls considering that there daddy carries and brings his service gun at home. I am in constant watch with my girls specially when they are in our bedroom. Hearing stories about children getting shot by father's guns or other children killed due to playing with guns, it not only makes me nervous but fearful for my girls safety. No matter how much you tell kids the danger of guns, they are still kids and will never get the full ramification if they did play or touch a gun. Now that our youngest is at the stage where she has to touch and play with everything we have to make sure that Hubby's Service gun is somewhere safe and out of her reach. Its about time that we start thinking and looking for top of the line Safesthat are out in the market. The thought of storing hubby's gun out of reach and in a Safe makes me breathe easier and more relaxed. The pistol safe by Maximum Security Safe is just about right for our needs which is functional and the firearm can easily be accessed by my husband. In today's world we have to be vigilant and mindful about everything specially if you have kids in the house.

WEIRD WHEN PREGNANT

Getting pregnant the first time was easy and quick. When we found out i was pregnant with Kaitlyn it was unexpected but an added blessing. During my pregnancy i got so sick and depressed which made my family here and back home worry. I was so weird while pregnant, i would not look, eat, smell or even touch chicken. There were some commercial on t.v. that would just make me throw up, i guess it was just my hormones running wild. I however craved so much sweets and loved baking that got my sister so surprised since i didn't like cook when i was still single, i knew how to cook but i just didn't want to. The other weird disgusting thing about me when i was pregnant was i didn't like taking a shower or getting wet period, lol. I would go days and almost a week before i could force myself to finally take a shower, the reason being was i was always cold even with a space heater in the bathroom and i felt like i didn't want to be bothered. However i did change my underwear on a daily basis and just washed the most important private parts,lol. I know its disgusting to share but I'm hoping some women out there would share what they found weird when they got pregnant.
