A fun day at Beaty park
I thought of trying out our new double stroller last Wednesday. I just planned to stroll with my kids with it to a playground nearby our house which is at Beaty park. It is three blocks away from our house and it was a perfect day to do it as it was a bright sunny day. When I got near to our destination, I saw road signs along Conawango Avenue saying there’s a road work ahead. But it did not stop me and I was able to get through it because the park is on the other side. The… Continue reading
Weekend plans
The loss of a loved one in our family is still fresh. Whenever I go to my family in law’s house, I felt like I still have to move on the side of their hall to make way for my father in law’s wheel chair.

Our doctors tried to get us transported to our local hospital which is a 6 hours trip, either by medical air evacuation or… Continue reading
A new gadget and multitasking
A few months ago, I was browsing of a good gadget to buy that will help me in my multitasking. A few features that I really would like in a gadget is that it doesn’t have to be cell phone, it should have calendar to store appointments, a clock utility, can store pictures and documents from the computer, a notepad where I can write and store writings for my blog and that it can upload it to the computer and a gadget that has wireless internet in it. Somehow, I also need to organize data saved in my computer like… Continue reading
Me and my two boys
I just had a great time with my two boys the other day. Although we all are coughing and sniffing, playtime is not to be deleted in our day to day plans. Kids love it and they will increase their security with you more especially for new babies and toddlers. Anyhow, here is a cute picture of me and with George and Vince while playing in our living room.
