The fun world of crafts

Filed Under (Art & Crafts, Useful Links, V) by BlurMommy on 07-30-2010

Ever since I stopped working, I have discovered the wonderful world of hobbies. Before I started getting interested in all artsy crafty stuff, I didn’t know that there would be so many interesting crafty finds out there. Nowadays with the internet, it is so easy to learn and discover new crafts. I have tried crocheting, quilting, sewing, baking, candle making and others. My latest hobby is jewelry making and I am loving it. The only problem is that it can be quite costly to maintain this hobby and so I am on a quest to look for wholesale jewelry supplies. Hopefully I will be able to reduce cost and indulge in this latest hobby for a longer time.

Eating too much

Filed Under (Uncategorized) by BlurMommy on 07-30-2010

We have one more camping trip this summer before school starts for the new school year. Usually when we go camping, we prepare elaborate meals. Everytime we come back from camping, I always gain a little weight. So for this upcoming camping trip, we plan to cut down on food. We plan to load up on fruits and water instead of meat and juice. Hopefully none of our camping group brings any junk food to camping or even the latest fda approved diet pills will not help.

Not like the old days

Filed Under (Uncategorized) by BlurMommy on 07-30-2010

We have lived in our current house for almost 3 years. We bought the house when it was being built, so that means that all the appliances in the house were new. Unfortunately some of them are already starting to show signs of breaking down anytime. Gosh, they don’t make appliances like they used to anymore. I remember my mom’s washing machine that lasted 20 years. Now mine is about to collapse in less than 3 years. I guess I better start checking out aj madison coupons to see if I can grab a good deal on appliances. I am still keeping my fingers crossed that the appliances will still last a little while longer.

Vitamin reminder gadget?

I am really bad about taking vitamins. Even though I have a whole drawer full of vitamins, I always forget to eat them. So once in a while I will clean out the drawer to get rid of all the expired vitamins. The last time I did that I even found some prenatal vitamins at the back of the drawer. Definitely time to get rid of them since my baby is almost 6 years old!! Anyone has a good suggestion on how I can remember to take my vitamins everyday?

No more fairs

This summer has been really bad for my body. Even though I am doing a lot of outdoor activities, I am also eating a lot which is a big no-no. I blame it on all the greasy fair food. I really need to stay away from the fairs or I will have to start looking for the safest diet pills available out there. Maybe it’s about time to dust off my Wii and start working on it again.

A Grill Obsession

Filed Under (Rambling, Useful Links, V) by BlurMommy on 07-29-2010

My dear hubby is a little obsessed with grills. I have no idea how many we have around the house. We have a gas grill, electric grill, charcoal grill and even a couple of portable grills. Please don’t ask me what we do with all of them. I have no clue because we usually end up just using one. The others are part of the garage decoration and for those just-in-case-we-might-need-it days. Sigh, I hope we don’t accumulate anymore or I might have to have a garage sale just for grills next summer.

Earning with Swagbucks

Search & Win
 
Woohoo… I just redeemed another gift card to Amazon from Swagbucks. This is probably my 10th gift card already. I love this program!! If you have never heard of it, Swagbucks is actually a search engine and when you use Swagbucks to search for things on the net, you will earn points. Accumulate those points and you can redeem them for gift cards or other gifts. There is a whole list of gifts that can be redeemed. Hopefully I can earn enough points to get free Christmas presents this year.

Camping is exhausting

Filed Under (Rambling, Travel, Useful Links, V) by BlurMommy on 07-28-2010

The best thing about camping trips is that I don’t have to worry about ab workout or any other exercise. The whole camping trip is a gym to me. From loading the car, setting up camp to taking down the camp is a whole workout by itself. We also usually end up doing a lot of hiking and bicycling during the trip. We even did kayaking on one of the trips. But why am I still not losing any weight?

Not enough water

Filed Under (Rambling, Useful Links, V) by BlurMommy on 07-28-2010

Camping here, camping there, camping everywhere! That is what we seems to be doing this summer. We have been camping almost every weekend. Since we basically hibernate the whole winter, we make up for it in the summer and just spend as much time outdoors as possible. Unfortunately my face is not too happy about all these time spend outdoor and I am not helping by not drinking enough water. I think I need to check out the best treatment for best treatment for adult acne
