New Home Sweet Home Upcoming GIVEAWAY

I will soon be having a GIVEAWAY in my New Home Sweet Home blog. 

Like what I've been saying over and over again, I love personalized items and I have so many of them already. I already have photobooks, keychains, wallets, dog tags, watches, glass coths, mugs, mouse pads, fleece blanket, and so on and so forth but I still have no personalized nap mats and toddle backpacks from Stephen Joseph yet. I've been longing for them for so long. I wish they could give me samples so I could review them soon or maybe hold a giveaway too.

So there, I am soon be giving away personalized STUFF (to be announced soon) for 1 lucky winner from a very cute sponsor (to be announced soon). I love their items so much, I found them cute and very useful so I wanted them to share with you. Hope you guys can join my soon GIVEAWAY this month. This giveaways is open to all Canadian and US residents so please stand by and I will soon post my giveaway at lisingfamily dot com.

See you guys!

Happy BIrthday Princess Ishi

Happy Birthday ISHI!!!!
Ishi was so happy this morning. She just celebrated her 4th Birthday in school. Just a simple celebration yet ISHI and US enjoyed it very much. Ishi enjoyed it starting with giving her invitations up to giving her giveaways. Yes it's just a simple celebration coz Montessori doesn't allowe party during school days. We just ordered Jollibee foods for the kids, teachers, mommies and some nannies, made some giveaways and her special cake - CUPCAKE tower I ordered from a friend. Kids enjoyed the cupcakes, Ishi enjoyed blowing her candles. Classmates enjoyed the giveaways while Ishi enjoyed giving them away by herself. This is really fun! How I wish we could do it every year. When we celebrated Ishi's first birthday I said to myself that we will only celebrate 3rd, 7th and 18th birthday, but look at me now celebrated her 4th birthday. Parents are really more excited than their kids. I myself is really excited! I love seeing her happy. I love seeing her enjoy her childhood. She really had a great time today so am I coz I can rest for a while now. Next assignment, Ethan's 3rd birthday. But before that I still have to shop for christmas gifts. I wanted to try gift items like terry bath robe, bath wrap or waffle bath robe but still has to consider budgets. Oh well....I'll just figure out it next time. I have to rest for a while coz my mind is really tired of thinking now. Just wanna say again HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my princess ISHI!

School Days Coming up!

Friday, last day of our practice waking up early in the morning so we could both adjust our body clock. I hope Ishi is ready on Monday, it's her big day, her first real school day as Nursery. I am so excited to watch her learn, grow and interact with new people. I enrolled her very early, I bought books and uniforms first week of MAy. Am I too much? I am also excited when we shopped for her school supplies. I actually wanted to shop last APRIL already but my husband stopped me because it's too early eheheh. How come I am so excited? Is it normal? Oh, I hope it is! Even f I am excited, my daughter seems to be excited too, she was hurrying when she heard were going to buy her most awaited trolley bag that day. I supposed to order personalized kid's backpacks online for her but the teacher said it's better to have them use a trolley bag. I only chose her school supplies because she doesn't know what to choose yet. We did all the shopping that day, groceries, her stuff and some new undies and pair of socks. I supposed to buy a laundry bag too but we don't have a budget for that yet so that can wait. When passing buy to school supplies corner, i saw this cute baby memory books that I used to buy when my kids are still in my tummy. I love to buy one also for my cousin who's six months pregnant this month. Anyway, those are my next target on our next shopping day schedule. My concern for now is to finish my kids stuff, label her books, notebooks and ther stuff. (To my hubby)Oh please, stop thinking I am an OC! I am just organize! =)

Photobook Making as a Business?

I am now busy learning digiscrapping. I have tried making one book for my daughter and have it printed. I am happy with my work, I can see that making photo books in any ways is easy. I can say that I am artistic in terms of those maybe because I love pictures. I love to collect them and preserve every special moment in my life. Now that I have found this thing, I think I am starting to love it and thinking of making business out of it. I tried to offer my service to some of my friends I know who love to have a photo book. I am offering an affordable price compared to other photo book makers here. Who knows? Maybe they will love my work and refer me to other friends. Some of my friends have no idea what a photo book is, that's why I am still waiting for my first work and let them see it as a sample. As of now I am busy thinking of my own logo and a name but maybe IshiEthan name is okay since I've been using it already. I was searching for a logo thru net so I could get an idea but look what I've found, a real cheating wives site. I thought I was just mistaken but no, they are real. There are cheating house wives looking for Mr. right thru net. I can't imagine that there are things like this. I don't think if that's allowed here in the Philippines, chatting with lonely cheating wives? I don't think so. Anyway that was just my opinion, I am just amazed that there is also a chat room like that now. Back to my business, hope i could finally decide what kind of logo to make so I could start with my business now.

Anyone there who wants to order photo book? Comment now! =)

We Went To Children's Playground Again

I brought the kids to Children's Playground yesterday with my mom and my niece Aliyyah who's having her vacation with us. When we're in a jeep, Ishi saw a student I think she is a medical assistant or what because she's wearing a white dress with white stockings with logo of St. Augustine School of Medical Assistants. Ishi said she wants the stockings the girl was wearing. I asked her why she wants to wear that stockings, If does she wants to become a nurse too and study in Medical Assistant Schools? It was funny because she knodded! Gosh my little girl has a dream now. I am so excited to see her wearing that lovely uniform in the future if she really wanted to become a nurse. Another funny story when where in a train, she saw a korean baby. She said she wanted to sit beside the baby but I just said no and said she can still see the baby in our position. She keep on saying that the baby was so cute. I asked her if she wants to have another baby brother again and she said yes and she wants exactly how the korean baby looks like! Gosh how can i able to give that look to her if her dad and I were both Filipino ahahahah! Kids are so funny! They make me laugh so hard ahahahh! Anyway, this trip is fun especially when we arrived in Childrem's Playground. They ran immediately when they saw one of the slides. They were all so excited, I can see how happy they are especially Aliyyah because it was her first time to go there. How I wish I could set a picnic with my brother and sister's family. All of us with my mom. Children's Playground is a very nice park for me, there are lots of slides and theplace is clean. My only concern is the CR, I wish they put more CR there. My kids love this place very much, so I will surely comeback here more often.

Having a Hard TIme with HTML code!

I am amazed with some of my co-bloggers who are so creative in their websites. They were putting their own spices in their sites. I envy them because I don't how to do those. I want to ask my hubby who's certified Java Programmer but he's always busy with his stuff! I had a cousin who's not into blogging but knows some of the basics. I asked her to teach me sometime. She said I needed a HTML Editor or Website Builder at home so she can able to teach me create a website. Ohm how I wish I could be able to learn such things now. I really wanted to design my own website too! Most of the bloggers out there knows such things and poor me knows nothing! Well, I know I am not good with these things but I am very willing to learn, especially now that I am into blogging!

Mom's Self-Maintenance

I am not the type of girl that is so called "high maintenance". Boys used to call girls "high maintenance" when you love to go to parlor, spa, loves shopping, buy expensive make-ups, buy expensive perfumes, etc. I am living in very simple ways, I only love to buy cheap bags, I am not putting make up unless it's needed, I am contented with any cologne and I am just going to parlor to have my hair cut and have a pedicure. I actually don't want to have a pedicure since I noticed some discoloration of my toenails. I didn't know it was a mild nail fungus when the podiatrist told me. She said I have to take care of my nails before it affect my toes and have a toenail fungus. Since then, I started visiting the parlor every after two weeks. If I didn't started taking care of my nails, I am sure be needing a nail fungus treatment now. My mom has this kind of nails now, for how many years that she's been washing clothes for other people, she got this fungal infection already. I don't know if toe fungus treatment or toenail fungus treatment is still effective to her. I admire my mom for being so hard working. She even forgottten herself just to take care of us four. Since I became a mom of my two kids and a wife to my loving husband, I always wanted to be presentable. I always wanted to be beautiful that is why I started doing things to make myself more beautiful. My mom can't do those things for herself that time because when my father died, she's the only one providing our needs.
