Adorable Stuff
>> Tuesday, May 26, 2009
It was a fun long weekend for the whole family. We were at the backyard most of the time playing and tending the garden. Since it's been warm and the weather had been great, we decided to set up the pool outside. It took a long time though to fill it up but it was worth the wait. We put several colorful balls, plastic boats, toy dolphins, etc. for the boys to play with while in the pool. While I was looking for the boys' swimwear, I realized that it's about time to get them some nice summer clothes. So, I decided to look online and I found one that I really like. It's called Long Shorts Crashing Waves-Tea collection from Lou Lou's Corner.
I guess it would also be nice to pair it up with this cute little shirt.
Lou Lou's corner has a wide selection of cute designer baby clothes, jellycat stuffed toys, barefoot dreams, lovely accessories, gift ideas, etc. Oh, I love their products! They are so adorable! My friend is going to have her baby shower this June and I'm planning to give her this. I know she'd love this for this is the exactly what she wanted.

Saving with Credit Cards
>> Monday, May 25, 2009
In these tough times, why would you not save? Most of the time, I buy store brand products instead of the name brand ones when I do grocery shopping. Main reason is they cost a lot less. For most items, you wouldn't notice the difference in taste, or quality such as sugar, salt, etc. There are some items though that I have to go for the name brand such as the diapers. I haven't been lucky with store brand diapers. They leak and are of poor quality from my experience. This is how I save. My hubby is pretty good with handling our finances or bills. When it comes to credit cards, he follows a credit card transfers guide. You can go to http://www.smartbalancetransfers.com/ for a very helpful guide on balance transfers. Last week, my husband had to call the credit card company and ask about the exorbitant interest rate that they are supposed to implement this July. It was a good thing that he read the letter from the bank. It is ridiculous how credit card interest rates can get so high. For that reason, one has to be extra vigilant. The best way to do it is to check smartbalancetransfers.com, take advantage of their balance transfer calculator and read their articles regularly. There is a number of banks out there who offer 0% balance transfer. Using the site can benefit you with choosing the one perfect for your needs.

Our White Azaleas
>> Friday, May 22, 2009
They bloomed sooner than our red roses. We have 3 azalea bushes in our front yard, but the middle one seemed to have dried up and died. We thought it would still live since we saw few, small green leaves at the bottom. But, the stems had become brittle and we couldn't wait any longer. It was like a guessing game if it's going to live or not. So hubby decided to pull it out. We have yet to replace it with the same kind. The roses are still taking their sweet time. I saw some buds and I feel they are about to open up and reveal their classic beauty any time soon. :)
