enjoy a magazine on a lazy weekend

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

A great way to relax on a lazy weekend is to cuddle up the couch and day bed and enjoy a nice read. I have to admit that I haven’t done much magazines shopping in the last few months. The only time I can afford to enjoy the ads and articles in a magazine is [...]

outdoor fun with the kids

Monday, June 30th, 2008

The weather has been less than perfect for us in the last week. While it’s sunshine for many folks, it’s been wet and humid for us. We make it a point to take our preschooler to the park every weekend. Living in the city doesn’t give us the luxury of space so we try to [...]

music and technology

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

Gone are the days where people can only visit the music stores to buy CDs or music albums. The online technology means that music lovers can shop their music online - download it and listen to their favourite songs in their iPod or PC. Some feel that it is more flexible than buying a music [...]

thrills and extreme adventures

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

Some people seek for thrills and extreme adventures such as skydiving, whitewater rafting and kite surfing to name a few. DH and myself have contrasting interests. While he enjoys rafting in the waters and all the rough sea sports, I prefer adventures above land like skydiving and hang gliding.

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

I’m one person who loves the fun of live entertainment especially in the company of close and like-minded friends. Previously, I had attended several broadway musicals and celebrity concert shows and I was thankful to be seated in VIP seats and front rows.
Couple of months back, my brother in law who is a big [...]

can’t wait for our vacation!

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

I’m counting down to our vacation which is taking place in 10 days’ time! And since I’ll be in the US for a month, it’s a good time to check out some online stores which do not ship outside the US. This time, I am spoilt for choices. I can order my Camper shoes, save [...]

satellite tv for the family

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

Whoa! The school holidays are here again! Sometimes, we don’t know how else to occupy our little boy except for a little more television recreation. Lately, Clayton and DH had been bickering over the TV and it seemed that both boys thought they each deserve to watch their favourite channel. Perhaps, it’s about time that [...]

eye catching swimming pool tile for your pick

Monday, November 19th, 2007

Last week, we went to check out swimming lessons for young children as it has been our desire to start Clayton on swimming at a young age. Since we don’t own any club memberships or condos, we need to find a place that is conducive with experienced instructors that cater for small children. Besides that, [...]
