My HOME and KITCHEN

My brother considers himself as a musician, and I agree. He knows how to operate variety of musical instruments such as keyboards, drum set and guitars. He can be a one man band. Although being in a band has been his wildest dream, he never had the chance to do that. Now, he just satisfies himself by playing guitar and sings when there is a family gathering. He plays with my cousins and they have fun. he’s been wanting to get a fender aerodyne stratocaster electric guitar and he said this will be his last wish from me, maybe when I have the money I will send him one, but until then, it would remain his wish. I know that having this great instrument would boost his ego, but he has to wait.

We celebrated Wrozlie’s 6th birthday at ChuckECheeses last January 7th, and it was just a simple get together. We didn’t invite a lot of people since we weren’t planning on having a big birthday. But next year, I am hoping for a bigger celebration. I will save for it. Traditionally in the Philippines, when it’s 7th birthday, it was being celebrated big time, I don’t know the significance, but I will try to give my daughter a nice birthday.

We had pizza, cookie cake, soda and salad. Simple food for simple birthday. I would like to thank Ms. Alena and Mr. Shawn and the kids for coming to our birthday, and also for Ms. Julie for bringing Samantha at the birthday, Wrozlie was very happy.

I guess, fattening food is OK sometimes, as long as it’s for special occasion. Well, pizza is the kids all time favorites, so why not give them something that they will enjoy eating?

Have a great day to all!

Nowadays, most of the children’s toys are video games. In any occasion, kids expect or ask for game cartridges, different game system. What happened to those old fashioned toys like yo yoand some simple and yet full of fun toys. Whenever I buy stuff for my kids’ treat bags on their birthdays, I always include yo yo for the boys, I guess, I am still a fan of yo yo, although I am not a player. I only know how to make it go up and down. Others can make it dance, they can do running man (whatever that is..) and so on and so forth. Although we are in this modern world, we still have to make our kids aware that they can still have fun without playing their video games.

My husband bought me a new desktop computer before Christmas as a present for me, since I had been complaining that the old laptop that I was using was getting so slow. So after I got my new computer, we gave the kids the slow laptop that I was using. But since my son plays games online and when aggravated tends to bang the keyboard, the laptop went bye bye. They are not allowed to use my computer, and so they were asking for a computer that they can use. Our youngest loves to play Nick Jr. games online and maybe we will try to look for cheap laptops for them this coming Christmas so they can have their own computer to use. I know that they want to play Angry Birds

Although I grew up swimming in a pond, my children never get a chance to do that, not yet. And even if we don’t have our own swimming pool, my children still go to the pool in a regular bases during summer time. We always wait for the hot weather so we can have our bonding moment at the pool. We go to our friend’s house and they have a regular size above ground pool that we fill with kids when we all get together. There was a time that we planned on having a pool in our back yard, but since our yard is uphill, there is no way we can. I had been asking around hos to take care of a pool, believe me it’s not easy, but it’s all worth it.

According to my friend, maintaining a pool is also a big responsibility. You need to have the correct pool supplies to take care of a pool. You have to have the right amount of chemical to put in the pool. the right cleaning equipment and so on and so forth. Research on how to keep a pool might be needed, to make sure that you’re doing it right and you don’t put your family in danger in case you’re not familiar on how much chlorine or other chemicals to put in your pool.

If you have a pool and you are looking for a place to get pool accessories you can check out Doheny’s Water Warehouse and you can find everything that you need. They have affordable inground pool ladders and much much more. Make your family happy this summer and build them a pool with lots of accessories, make your pool time a family time that everyone will enjoy. What is summer without dipping under the water?
