a mom’s blog

As a mom, sometimes I am bored with everyday routines cooking, working, watching TV, shopping etc. I definitely need other activity that can refresh my mind and motivation. I need a vacation, my last holiday trip was to Bali 2 or 3 years back, with hubby. And yeah, it was long time ago!

Thinking about vacations, I do really want to go to Greece, that according to wikipedia is regarded as the birthplace of democratic, heir to the heritages of ancient Greexe, the Roman and Byzantine Empires. I think hubby will also love Greece attractions such as Athens, Acropolis, Parthenon, Saronic Gulf Island, Dodecanese Islands, Corfu, beach, beach and beach. For me, I’ll love the Greece nightlife, cuisine and food and the Festivals.

A friend that has made lots of travel almost all around the world, Geoff, recommended me to book online one of the cheap holidays packages from otbeach.com. Geoff has used this company twice and have always been excellent offering good value for money, he have previously traveling to Tenerite and Cyprus last year.

According to him, I should choose one of the all inclusive holidays which is a good option because (frankly) I never went abroad, specially for holidays, and being lost in a holiday is not a fun experience at all!

Otbeach.com itself, is a sleek and simple but powerful website that is dedicated to help travelers to book hotels, flights, city breaks also an affordable place that sells holiday packages.

Hubby’s birthday is July, and it’s already March. And I still can not figure out what kind of gift for him on his 35 birthday. He already has watches, hats, ties, bags and more that is designed personally for him. He’s got name embroidered on all of his ties and bags. His watches, eventhough aren’t too expensive, but he loves it much because all of their watch are ‘tattoed’ with his name.

I have to find a gift for him that also can be personalized, embroidered or embossed. Fortunately, after spent a lot of time in front of hubby’s vaio staring various gifts from numbers of online stores, I found mens wallets that can be personalized by embossing certain characters (can be name, or anything) on it. It’s from kikijames.com that indeed, is specializing in luxury leather goods and gifts.

Frankly I’ve been tempted to buy other gifts from this stunning leather gifts store, because aside of mens wallets there are also available awesome wallets for ladies and baby photo frames that I think, it would be very nice to have it put on my desk with my baby’s picture in it.

Definitely hubby will be very happy receive this gift on his upcoming birthday, because it’s fancy, luxurious, and it’s personalized. And personalized is the key!

I never visited New York, although I’d love to visit it in the near future with hubby and kid, but since it’s a time and money consuming activity I must postpone it until hubby have enough money in his pocket.

Today, Sam, hubby’s elder brother visited my house. He just arrived from New York, city where he lived for almost 3 years, he is working in a multinational company as a chief security.

Hubby asked him about places to visit if we get an opportunity to travel there. According to him, there are many tourists destinations there, and the best choice for first time tourist in New York is to take a double-decker bus ticket and let it bring us for sightseeing to the New York City Attractions. Window seat a top the double-decker bus that is open at the top is the best place to watch New York City Attractions, specially at night, because New York City is never sleeps city and in the night, it will even give you better landscape with artistically lighting scene !

Sam also mentioned more points of interest during the bus tour, including Manhattan’s attractions, World Trade Center (Ground Zero), Statue of Liberty, New York Stock Exchange, Wall Street, Broadway, Trinity Church, Times Square, Madison Square Park, Top of the Rock, shopping trips to Woodbury Common Outlet and many more.

The double-decker bus ticket also is very cheap, it’s also can be bought via citysightny.com, according to him, closing his story.

Treating them well, take care of them and provides the best drug rehab or addiction treatment are steps that must be taken instantly to prevent them being worse and worse.

One of the best available drug treatment center as per my judgment is The Canyon, read about them via their website (which is thecyn.com) for further informations about their therapies, treatment procedures, etc. There are numbers of people specially teenagers that have left taking drug because of the Canyon’s proven therapies.

They have lots of exceptional programs merely to help people getaway from their addictions, unique culinary experience to support the mind, body and spirit also are introduced to faster the recovery process.

As a prove of my responsibility to the youth, I’ll get some advised from the Canyon expert regarding my friend that recently have a bad habit by drinking alcohol too much before he take a bed, he could be in need of alcohol treatment.

Hubby always mention that we need to invest to prepare our future, to get a better education for kid, prepare for our retirement etc. He always says that invest money, no matter where it is invested is important. Sometimes bad thing happen to us without warning first, such as accident, sick family member and so on that require certain amount of money instantly.

Hubby loves to save money to her bank account, thus he can draw it little by little to cover everyday expenses. I also agree with the way he saves money, but I also have my own way to save money from him, I save it and invest it in Jewelry. I love collecting jewelry, not a really cozy one, but jewelry that represents the real me. I wear it occasionally on friends, relatives and colleagues party and when hanging around with high-school friends. But what I love from jewelry is, I can find jewelry buyers almost anytime once we need money and they usually also instantly buy it from us.. just like that as easy as selling motorcycle.

Aside from what I said above, jewelry, gold, diamonds etc also tend to have a stable price year by year (if it not increase year by year), so selling jewelry or selling watches (the cozy one) due to emergency financial needs will always obtain a better price compared to the price when I bought before.

There are also many website that offers buying and selling jewelry, so it will be easier to sell or buy jewelry, some of these jewelry buyers also are diamond buyers, watch buyers etc. So I can get a quotation for jewelry and I hope in near future I can also invest it in diamond.

Kitchen is my playground, and I believe it is also playground of other moms all over the world. Beside my playground kitchen is also my heaven, I can explore my curiosity there, cooking new recipes, trying to make own recipes and of course decorate and organizing cookwares.

Like Steven Seagall says in his movie ‘Under Siege’, No one beat me in kitchen!

But since our house is only a tiny one hundred meter square and hubby’s stuff has occupied almost all over home space, kitchen does not have many space. So I hang my cookware all over the wall and the ceiling, to organize it neatly is always in my mind, but there are space constraints, but I just will not surrender because of this situation. I keep looking ways to organize my kitchen. And it seems later in this day I found the answer.

The answer is brought by potrackixchange.com that is a subdivision of netixchange.com website, that offers various enclume pot racks that not only sturdy but also beautiful and definitely will add a distinctive finishing touch to any kitchen. These Enclume potracks will help me in organizing my pots and pans in a single, convenient, easy to reach location, and also it adds a touch of style, elegance and class to the décor.

It’s sturdy because it made with the highest standard in cookware rack finishes and construction. Available in various finishing touch such as copper plated, chrome plated, brass plated that are all beautiful and made me kinda dizzy to choose one of it at their showcase.

Although I must ask hubby first to buy enclume pot rack for our kitchen, but almost one hundred percent I think he will agree to have one of the enclume pot rack.

The matter is: which one?

Inkjet printers are the most common type of computer printer for the general consumer due to their low cost, high quality of output, capability of printing in vivid color, and ease of use. That’s why this kind of printer are commonly seen in homes, colleges, offices, and other place. Also, although this printer is not a best solution for photo printing, but it provides quite good result for photo printing, thus a lot of people are excited to print their photo from home, and this is a fun activity!

But working with ink cartridges sometimes need a patience because if the printer is not used for quite long time, the cartridge tend to clog. This can be overridden by warming up the printer for 5 - 10 minutes before we print something. But still the cartridge quality plays a vital role in a successful printing and good printing result!

I myself prefer Canon printer for my everyday use, and never had any trouble from it, because I always use original Canon ink cartridges, and I warm up the printer one time per week if occasionally use the printer. Also I keep my printer in a clean place and cover it with a plastic bag when not in use, it prevent from dirt to enter my printer that possibly will damage my cartridge.
