  • playing outdoors

    By DGH | September 3, 2010

    My daughter loves to play outdoors. She’s enjoying our stay here in our hometown coz we have a garden where she can play the plants, sand and water. Its is a big treat for her coz we don’t have it in Prague.

    The only problem is that our garden has many ants. She has already many bite marks and scars in her legs making it look awful. I was thinking of buying her boots so ants can’t easily bite her like when she uses ony slippers. High cut boots, the same as those riding boots equestrians use is a good choice. It will protect her feet and legs from being bitten by ants and insects while she plays in the garden.

    searching for insurance online

    By DGH | August 26, 2010

    While there are many insurance companies campaigning about their services through phone calls and brochures, hubby and I likes comparing different online insurance quotes. Its more convenient for us doing things over the internet which we can go in between taking care of the kids, while taking a break from work, or even late at night.  Once we were able to choose which company offers the best quote, thats the time we contact them and let them know of our interest.  It saved us time from dealing with agents who likes to lecture about uneccesary details. So work smart, use the internet to your advantage especially when looking for insurance that fits to your needs!

    many job opportunities

    By DGH | August 19, 2010

    Looking for jobs these days especially for college graduates isn’t as difficult as it used to be. There are many call center companies that recruit applicants even those who don’t have college degrees. The salary isn’t bad too. Well at least for starters, its already good enough, better than having no work at all.

    To prove this fact, my neice and nephew both have jobs in different call centers in Cebu City. The former graduated only this March, and she immediately landed a job in May. Aside from this kind of work, there are many lucrative online endeavors that people can get into, such as monetizing websites with google adsense and the likes.

    fishy fish

    By DGH | August 17, 2010

    Our former flat has a big aquarium in the living room.  The owner gave us the task to take care of the fish as tenants there.  When we had little girl, it was a good entertainment for her, watching the small fish swim inside the glass container.  I don’t know what we did wrong but few fish died.  Fortunately some also gave birth replacing the dead ones.   I remember my hubby going to a pet shop near our place to buy fish food. When he wasn’t familiar with the store’s set up, he’d get lost among koi pond supplies and other fish supplies. But after going there often, he already knew where to find what our little pets at home need. 

    Our daughter is turning 3 soon and she’s still fascinated with animals.  Its really great if kids experience having pets at young age coz it instills in them the love for animals.

    vacation with kids

    By DGH | August 8, 2010

    I wonder at what age when we will enjoy taking vacation with the kids. At this age (girl is almost 3 y/o, boy is 6 months old), traveling is a big hassle, especially for me. As a mom, I am responsible for packing their things, seeing to it that they have everything they need… and the kids are understandably more attached to me than their dad. I have to deal with a clingy toddler, at least my sister has already shared the burden by taking care of my other child.  But still, even one kid is already a BIG task!

    I don’t even want to think about taking them to Disney vacations at this age. We just might end up dealing with their tantrums than having fun.  Actually I am having more difficulty taking care of them when away from home coz their routines get affected, the change of environment and weather also affects their behavior and most especially, living in a house that is not child friendly is really a big inconvenience and being not organized eats up time.
