Thanksgiving Dinner

We had a simple and sumptuous Thanksgiving dinner last week. We supposed to have hubby's friend at work and his wife come over for dinner but they cancelled it. So we ended up celebrating it ourselves.
Daughter and I prepared some pies, turkey, horderves, honey glazed ham, buttered beans and some appetizers. It was a lovely dinner I must say.
Now we have plenty of leftovers in the fridge. I'm hoping we can finish eating them before Christmas...lol!

A Jewelry Safe is What I Want for Christmas!

Home security is one of our outmost concerns as home owners. We want to make sure that our home including everything in it is safe at all time. We invest in quality security systems that will provide us with the level of security we need even if we are away from home for a long period time. Safes are just some of the most important things that we have to invest in if we want to make sure that our valuables are protected at all times. Natural disasters such as floods, fire and earthquakes can occur at any time and we have to make sure that are valuables are protected when these disasters strike. Safes with high level of security measures can prevent burglars from getting away with our valuables.

Safes can be used to store a variety of valuables including cash and important documents such as birth certificates, marriage contracts, land and property titles and business contracts. We can also store important family photos and videos that we want to preserve. Although these personal memorabilia may not be of value to other people, they hold great value to us since they are personal treasures which can never be replaced. A photo of our children on their first day of school is something that we can never recreate and although some may think this is trivial, it holds the same value or even more than all our other material possessions. Our collection of jewelries can also be placed in jewelry safes so that they cannot be accessed by unauthorized individuals.
Safes come in variety of sizes. You can choose one that will suit your needs. There are even big safes with multiple levels and shelves that are suitable for companies that have huge amount of documents and files that need to be stored and protected at all times. I might get one of these jewelry safes for Christmas.

Rug & Carpet Cleaning

Regular vacuuming is important to keep your carpet clean. But although you may be using a high quality vacuum at home, your carpet does not get the thorough cleaning that it needs. Your carpet may have already accumulated a huge amount of bacteria and germs. Although they are invisible to the naked eye, they pose a great health risk. Your whole family and even your pets may acquire certain types of allergies and other similar illnesses if you don’t make sure that your carpets have been cleaned thoroughly.

It is important that you hire the services of a professional carpet cleaning brooklyn provider. They have all the proper carpet cleaning tools and equipment. Their staff has all the proper training that makes the qualified to clean any type of carpet. These professional carpet cleaning companies have also invested in cleaning solutions that will not only remove dust and dirt but also kills germs and bacteria. If you’re particular with the effects of these cleaning solutions, choose a carpet cleaning company that uses environment friendly cleaning solutions. These don’t just effectively clean your carpet but they also don’t have any harmful chemicals that may harm the environment and will not have a negative effect on the quality of air in your home.

My daughter had a week off last week due to Thanksgiving holiday. She's been helping me decorating and doing some chores in the house. Thanks a lot anak!
We're pretty much done decorating the house. Well, except for our dining table because I  haven't started putting the Thanksgiving decors away yet. I will have to get rid of them very soon.
Our little village is now open for business...lol!

Our Christmas Tree is UP!

Our Christmas tree is finally up! Daughter and I decorated it last weekend. Supposedly, our Christmas tree theme this year should be green and gold. But if you have a fickle mind like me, things can change very quickly.
Poor little girl. I'm sorry baby for dragging you into this. You have a crazy mother!
So instead of bows, poinsettias, and other ornaments, we have colorful Christmas balls themethis year. So simple!
It looks pretty neat though, especially when the lights are on.

Tidy Table Tray & Flexi-Diner Review

Introducing The Bambinos! Tidy Table Tray & Flexi-Diner! This product is an innovative way to bring babies, toddlers, and little kids to the table -- making meal time more fun for children, and easier for mom and dad. It clips easily to tables, features an easy on/off insert, and has an extending lip to catch spills. The Tidy Table Tray & Flexi-Diner is BPA free, and has a spill catch lip which ergonomically molds to a baby's body, while catching lap spills that fall between the child and the table. It protects tables, floors, clothes and reduces laundry loads (and need for bibs) too.
The tray also has interactive locations for cups, spoons and forks, so that as your child grows she can learn that different things go in different places. The base tray allows for meal time to become craft or play time after eating is over. Parents can make one trip to the table instead of setting of several, setting up everything in the kitchen for meal time on the Flexi-Diner. When the meal is over, the insert tray is simply lifted out and brought back to the kitchen for easy clean up.
Getting ready for Thanksgiving dinner.
I was recently given the opportunity to work with Bambinos!, and they sent me a product to review. My 6-year old daughter is no longer a toddler, but she still making a mess on the table. Well, it's not as bad as when she's little but like most moms, cleaning up after our childrens mess becomes never-ending and frustrating.

Thanks to The Bambinos! Tidy Table Tray & Flexi-Diner! What a brilliant solution for all messy eaters out there. What I love about this table tray is that it clamps on to our table easily, it doesn't slide, and it is super easy to clean. Overall, I'm very pleased with the quality of the product.
The design helps keep tables, floors and clothes clean. It has interactive features that will teach the tot where to put plates, bowls, sippy cups, spoons and forks. I highly recommend this product to everyone. The Tidy Table Tray & Flexi-Diner is definitely a great gift for any occasion.

How Music Makes Life More Enjoyable

Music can truly make life more enjoyable. Whether one is a musical genius or has only a passing knowledge of the newest pop tunes, music can do much for the individual. There are several reasons as to why any person’s brain, from young to old, so enjoys music. In addition, there are numerous times perfect for listening to a new or old tune. Perhaps some of these ideas will spark a new idea in the reader’s mind that will have him listening to music in a different way.

Why Is Music Enjoyable?

- Music is enjoyable because it can remind someone of pleasant or memorable times in his past. Music is often linked to holidays spent with families such as Christmas or Thanksgiving. When these songs come on the radio or are played over a home sound system, they fuel the same feelings that the individual once had.
- Music helps one get lost in another time or place. Listening to music is a wonderful way to forget something stressful or sad that is going on and to focus one’s attention on something completely different.
- The lyrics to music often exemplify, occasionally even in minute detail, what one is going through in his life. Lyrics often tell stories about romance, love, friendship, family, a lost love and more. Many people find that they can empathize exactly with the songwriter.
- Music transcends cultures, time periods and even languages. It is the language of the world. Even songs written in a different language can still be meaningful by the soulfulness of the singer or the plaintiveness of the sound. This is why music without lyrics, such as classical music or piano playing, can remain meaningful. It does not take lyrics to paint a picture of something in one’s mind.
- The rhythm and cadence of music is wonderful for the brain. It can cause numerous thought processes, catch the listener up in the moment and create a lasting memory. Music is truly an amazing gift, enjoyed since antiquity.

When Is Music Enjoyable?

- Music is perfect when exercising. First, it takes the individual’s mind off what he is doing, thereby making time escape him more rapidly. This is particularly important for someone who does not enjoy exercising. Second, the rhythm of the music can create an exercising rhythm. Many walkers and runners will find music with just the right rhythm for their pace. They will search for the number of beats per minute that are in a song and will match that number to how many steps they take per minute.
- Music is great when doing housework. Once again, music will make time go by much faster than it would in a quiet house and will take the individual’s mind away from his unpleasant task. Washing windows and scrubbing floors is much more enjoyable when one is singing out his favorite lyrics.
- Music makes driving more enjoyable. It wiles away many miles and can keep the driver awake when he becomes drowsy. For parents driving with children, various forms of children’s music will help engage the child during active times or lull the child to sleep at nap times.
- Of course, a party is incomplete without music. Music can set the tone for an evening, whether it is a Christmas party, a retro party or a dance party. With the millions of songs marketed today, there is something for everyone. The right music can loosen conversation, bring people to the dance floor or create a relaxed ambiance.
-Finally, certain types of music aid in utter relaxation. Music can set the mood for a bubble bath, a romantic evening, a quiet night of reading or a day at the beach. Certain sounds can quiet the mind and bring restfulness to one’s inner being. Music has been used as a relaxing agent for millennia.

Music in various forms has existed since antiquity. While today’s music is much different from that of previous generations, from the types of instruments used to the lyrics that are sung, it is still being used in much the same way. Music is a celebration of life, an empathizing force and a means of relaxation.

Finding the Best Online Deals

For most shoppers, Christmas shopping season starts the day after Thanksgiving especially with all the shopping deals that are being offered by retailers both online and offline. It’s never too early though to start looking for suitable gift items that we can give away to our friends and loved ones. Whenever you go to the mall and you have time to spare, you can use it to browse around various shops and look for different gift items that could be perfect to give away during Christmas. It would also help if you make a list of the people that you want to give gifts to. You can also make a note of what would be the most suitable gifts for them. That list would be handy every time you go visit the mall because you can refer to it whenever you see items that you like.

I have recently discovered the many conveniences that online shopping brings and since I also spend a lot of time online, I browse through various online shops whenever I have the opportunity. Not a lot of shoppers know that you can actually get some amazing deals online. And if you’re a practical shopper like me, then looking for the best online deals is something that you should always keep in mind. There are online retailers that offer deals on different items everyday so make sure that you visit them regularly if you don’t want to miss a great deal on items that you really want. You’d be surprise with the huge savings that you’ll get when you avail of those online deals. Not only will you be able to save on your purchases but you’ll get to buy items that, when bought on regular rates, would have been quite expensive like the latest gaming consoles that are popular with kids these days. I’m sure that you’ll be able to buy everything on your list and still be able to stay within your budget. And I won’t be surprise if you will still have some funds left to buy something for yourself, too!

It's so convenient to use, and you don't have to worry about slippery grips. I have to say that both clipper and the file are very easy to use. It's sturday and are very high quality. The stainless steel nail clipper is ideal for trimming thicker fingernails or normal toenails.

Comfort Zone® with Feliway® Products

This post brought to you by Comfort Zone® products. All opinions are 100% mine.
I grew up with both cats and dogs. We consider them as part of our family. I can't imagine what life would be like without them. My family back home had quite a few pets. Just a month ago, our cat has given birth to two kittens. Oh, I just love looking at them. They're so cute and adorable. I hope these two kittens will get used to their new surroundings.

I do agree about pets can get stressed when their environment changes or even something as small as a change in their meal times or general schedule. When pets get stressed it causes and triggers them to misbehave.
Do you know that there is a great product that helps reduce stress-related behavior in cats by mimicking their natural pheromones that help them feel calm and comfortable in their environment? You should check out Comfort Zone®. These products are 95% effective at reducing scratching and urine marking for cats. The Comfort Zone® with Feliway® products for cats help control destructive urine marking and scratching associated with fear or stressful situations.
It's available in a diffuser or spray for use in home or during travel. You can buy them at your local PetSmart and Petco stores, independent pet stores and online.

After the competition, we met up with my BIL at his hotel room to congratulate him. He finished the 21k for 2 hours and 20 minutes. Daughter got a chance to wear his Uncle Bryan's finisher medal.
Proud niece of course!

Plan Your Own Horse Trail Adventure

Going on vacations is something that we enjoy as a family. It is one of our favorite family bonding activities. Not only do we get to visit beautiful places but we also get to meet interesting people. Our daughter is also learning a lot from the various trips that we have taken in the past. We also get to add to our collections of different items such as postcards and bills and coins from other countries. We also love the outdoors and we always look forward to doing something that will allow us to make the most out of the wonderful weather.

A horseback trail adventure is actually next on our list. Although we may be novice riders, we know that we will surely enjoy going on a horseback trail adventure. We are looking into places which are suitable for families, with trails that are perfect for both beginners and advance riders. We are also planning on staying overnight so that we can fully enjoy the adventure. We are making a list of the things that we need to bring such as the proper riding gear such as riding boots and riding apparel. We also learned that we may need to buy a horse rug that can keep our horse warm during the night. We may have to look into the saxon rugs from equestrian clearance for some quality and affordable horse rugs. With different brands available, each having their own unique designs and colors, I’m sure will find the perfect horse rug.
We are making all the necessary preparations because we know that this ensure that our horseback trail adventure will be hassle free and stress free if we plan for it carefully. We already have a shortlist of the places that we are seriously considering and we are hoping to make a final decision soon on when and where to have our horseback trail adventure.

Personalized Christmas Cards

Christmas is only a few weeks away and I’m sure that your family has already started with your own preparations for the holidays. Each family has their own Christmas traditions that make their holidays more special. There are also parties, celebrations and reunions that families everywhere look forward to.
Our family is always excited about Christmas and we look forward to spending quality time together. Among the many things that we like to do to prepare for the holidays is making our own Christmas decorations. Although we also have decorations that were brought from nearby stores, we also like to make our own Christmas decorations. Making Christmas decorations is a great bonding activity and it also enhances the imagination and creativity of our daughter.
Our 2011 Christmas Theme was RED!

We also like to make personalized Christmas cards and calendars. We send them to family and friends especially to those that we like to keep in touch with even though we don’t get to see them regularly. They also appreciate our cards more because they know that we took the time to make them ourselves. With our own printer, we get to print as many high quality Christmas cards and calendars as we want. Aside from cards, we also get to make our own Christmas wrappers. Personalized Christmas wrappers make our gifts more unique. We sometimes look for templates online that we like and we just add our own designs to it to give to customize its look. Printing our own cards, calendars and wrappers are not only a great bonding activity for our family but it is also more practical since they cost less than those that are commercially available. I might have to check Dallas Printers to see if they have deals on printers because I need a new printing machine.

Have you tried making your own customized Christmas cards and calendars? If you’re looking for a worthwhile activity that your whole family can do during the holidays, then you should try them this year.
