Caroleen’s Treasures

Today is Crislyn’s birthday and we are supposed to go to the city for a check up. It was suppose to be the wonderful time to be there because they will have a special dinner with crabs and shrimps!!! But since the money from my paypal hasn’t appeared on my bank account yet, we postponed it tomorrow. So we are crossing our fingers that there will be some left overs for us.

Here is a photo of Tita Crislyn and Ella last March 2008 at Agro Trade Fair show in Davao City. Ella was Tiat Crislyn’s favorite niece (’cos there is no other nieces and nephews except from cousins)

 To Tita Lyn-Lyn…HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!

There is not much going on here today. I just sat infront of my pc earlier than usual. I took Crislyn’s shift because she needs to go shopping for her party tonight. She actually asked me last night what time will we arrive there today ‘cos she will ask me to do the food shopping since she has a 10am to 4pm shift. I told her the case and suggested I’d take her shift so she can do the shopping and cooking They are expecting my cousin and her daughter to be there tonight. I am sure they will enjoy the food! 

I have read several mom blogs and I always find posts regarding house chores. I can so relate with that because I am a mom too and living here in the parsonage means keeping the whole house tidy always. There would be unexpected visitors round the clock and aside form keeping the house clean and organized is keeping your cupboards full also.

With a 5-year-old at home, you should be ready for a house that looks like typhoon stricken place. Toys, papers, pencils, shoes and other things big or small around the house. I need to let Ella pick up all of it and put it in place. Aside from the things that can be picked up, there are dusts on the corners and hidden spots around the house that sits there for a couple of days until I do my general dusting.

It is real different here from the homes abroad where they have wall to wall carpets. They just plug their vaccum cleaners and they can dance around the house while cleaning. But hey, I heard a lot of complains that it guzzle up electricity like water. Good thing that there’s an new innovation from AccuCharge, the Dirt Devil vacuum cleaners are cordless and saves up to 70% of energy. These are the first cordless vacuum cleaners which earned  Energy Star approval. So mom’s, better check this out!
