My picky eater: Ben

ha ha ha, I really love to hear my picky eater saying: Mom egg is what category Mom, I said that is protein..Looking at his plate and said: Wow! I have protein (egg), grains(oatmeal), vegetable(1/2cup broccoli), an apple(fruits), a glass of sunny D orange juice.. So I will say I eat healthy... then I said: Yes you eat healthy.

Yesterday I did not offer them milk, Ben is freaking out, I dont have dairy today Mom. I said, go drink a glass of milk. He asked how much I need for my dairy products and i said, you dont need lots of dairy. If you can eat 5 servings of vegetables then you are very healthy boy. I am so lucky since he ate the dark green veges. Spinach and broccoli has almost all the vitamins needed for the body. I say HORRAH! I won. Now, we are looking for trying to introduce the carrots. I told him to start trying to eat carrots either raw or cook. He refused but I will see how it goes.

Apartment Rental in Calgary Alberta Canada

I have so many friends living in Calgary Alberta Canada. Some of them owned a house and some of them renting a place. There are so many apartments for rent in Calgary and I saw this rental place. You might like to visit this and maybe you can get some information here and be interested to rent.

Living in a 5-star - oh boy! oh boy!!! I wished!

Own Business

Written by my friend Teodoro Martin

When I decided to start my own home business it was a big risk for me – I’d been in corporate law for years and I was making a lot of money so it was hard for me to give that up for something totally unpredictable and not know whether or not I’d make any money much less enough. I am grateful to say that things have turned around, though, and that I’m actually doing better than I ever thought I’d be doing. One of the keys to my success I think is that I don’t have much overhead and I didn’t have to buy many things to get this business of the ground. I got a clear-internet.com internet connection and a new laptop as well as somebusiness cardsbut that was about it – I haven’t had to take out ads or rent office space or anything like that. I love that I’m able to do what I love and be at home when my husband gets here with dinner ready for him to eat!

Its Been so long not to post much here

Wow! I never been too busy before but I feel that the day is just like a ball. It rolls so fast. I just could not imagine of not making myself lots of progress in homeschooling.

We are targeting tomorrow the reading,, Bible, Math and Science with cub scouting.

I am hoping. Please help me Lord in fulfilling this.

Sundays at home

This guest post from Werner Rogers

Ever since we got CannonSatellite.com, our Sundays have never been the same. Of course, we still get up and go to church as we always have. And then we go out to eat after church because there is no way I am going to cook on a Sunday. But now we have NFL Sunday Ticket. Well, you might as well cease to exist if you are not interested in Football around here. And, then when you think you might have a relaxing Sunday afternoon, my husband says that he has invited a couple of the guys over to watch football with him. Before I can even change out of my Sunday dress, I have to jump in the car to go get some snacks to feed these characters. It has to be snacks because remember I don’t cook on Sundays. While I am gone, my husband has to vacuum since I won’t let his friends set foot in my house unless it has been vacuumed. When I get back, I change clothes, get a good book to read, and hide out on the patio with a nice cool drink until the game is over and all the guys have gone home. I hope he remembers that he has to vacuum after they all leave.

All About Coffee

There are so many kinds of coffee you will be seen in the market. Huh! who is the coffee lover? I am not really a coffee drinker but I really love the smell of the coffee. When I am at the store and pass the coffee aisle, will stay for a minute on that aisle and enjoy the smell.

Many of my friends are coffee drinker but I am hoping that they will buy coffee on the site that I know... Well this online store will not give me a coffee smell but I can smell that the coffee that they are selling is really good price.

Coffee is come from coffee beans, darn thing! Many people thinks that the coffee comes from Saudi Arabia is really good than the coffee that comes from Asia. Coffee can be identified on their species or their breeds. Nah... I find all those they same LOL.

Had a wonderful time with BFFs

My friends and I were talking of doing a girls night out. I really love to see to hang out with them and enjoying our conversation

Paris Hilton's My BFF

One of the most ridiculous competition shows on television is "Paris Hilton's My BFF." If one does not know who Paris Hilton is, then one obviously has not picked up a newspaper or tabloid in some time. Paris Hilton is the leading socialite and heiress to the Hilton Hotel empire. This girl is probably worth millions, if not billions, of dollars. As much as one criticizes her, one also must acknowledge her power for earning wealth.

I am one of the few people that probably enjoys watching every second of this show. I love to see Paris make superficial reasons for choosing one girl over another every day on my satellite tv from directstartv.com. It is hilarious to see Paris oust a girl, simply because she has bad fashion sense. The drama that gets created on this show is truly unlike any other show. I find it so immature that it is incredibly humorous. If a person truly needs some superficial humor in life, then "Paris Hilton's My BFF" is the perfect solution. This show will seem incredibly unreal to any person who does not have superficial relationships in life.

This show has actually motivated me to create meaningful relationships in my own life. I never want to have a best friend like Paris Hilton, if it is totally based on her superficiality. She can just be too much!

Flower Fields and Strawberries

Yesterday was so sunny and it was a fun day for us and my kids. We went to the Carlsbad Flower fields. It is really beautiful. The flowers are blooming

Pizza Loving Fool

My favorite restaurant is called the Mellow Mushroom. It is located in the city I live in and is situated near the river directly in the downtown area. Of course, most people have a craving for pizza, but I think I go a little overboard with it. I have to visit the place at least three times a week; I know it's bad for me but it's too good to pass up. It's not like a standard commercial pizza franchise with ugly seating and yellow lighting. It is laid back with comfortable chairs, nice music and a staff that acts as if they really enjoy their job.

I almost forgot to set my home security alarm from www.allhomesecurity.com/adt-home-security-equipment.html the other day because I was in such a hurry to meet my friends for lunch. Once it was set, I quickly made my way to meet the gang and dig into our usual: a large pepperoni and mushroom pizza. If you love cheese, then you'll love these pizzas because they really don't skimp on the ingredients. Now that I've written this, I think I'll head back out and have a slice. You can't just talk about their pizza; you have to eat it!

Feel like writing today...

We have a 7-day Disney Alaska cruise sailing August 23, 2011. We are so excited with this event and this is the vacation we are taking this year. I guess I have enough of vacation because of this evacuation due to Japan calamities that we were traveling from Japan to Philippines then bound to the San Diego together with my two wonderful kids and my sweetie hubby. Brian went back to Japan after a week of stay here in San Diego. It was no fun after all because I was scared to drive after driving RH drive in Japan and drove at the other side of the road. Mind you the emergency number in states is 911, the Japan is 119 hahaha. This is so funny!

Next year, I will ask Brian not to take any vacation anywhere outside Japan. Maybe going to Okinawa for the month of our wedding anniversary. Wow! speaking of Anniversary, we will be 10 years this year. After all those hardships we had, we are still together and promised to love each other. I have a friend in Italy and I met him through the game. Kept inviting me for visiting his place. I met also his wife since she played they same game as well. They offered one of their house that we can stay there as long as we want. Their place is not too far in Venice and in Florence. But I like to go to Pompeii where the town that got buried. I wanna see the ruins. I was so obsessed on that Pompeii thingy after I saw some artefacts from the museum in Japan. So, 2013 we are hoping for Italy vacation. I will save all my disney points and trade it. So i can make money for that. I will trade also the Monarch timeshare and let someone rent it for us. That is also more than a thousand for a week stay LOL...Trying to look some thing that we can save. I guess I will put a piggy bank in the house and let the kids fill it with coins...

When we were visiting to Sheelah's house April 20th in Spring Valley, I almost forgot that i can turn right right away. I almost went to the other side of the road. Good thing I saw the incoming traffic from the the other side LOL. That was pretty funny but not funny if i hit someone;s car. I think my insurance will go up.

April 21st was being a hectic for me, packing for the stuff that we need to ship. I put on hold since the other day... Me me... procrastination again!!!! The kids were stubborn enough or has one thing on their mind- pool pool... so we went to the pool and stayed more than an hour. After that, we went to the store and pick up a second box at STAPLES, whoa! I saw the Mitsukawa Store (Brian was saying that they were closed, was so sad to know that) and so after picking up few things at STAPLES, we stopped over there. Mary as usual. She picked inari sushi and tuna and salmon as well.. This kid is so cutie...I picked up few things as well, I was looking around the store and it is like the Fuji store that I used to go in Japan. A small place but it has everything you needed for your kitchen....

April 22nd, we were getting ready for visiting Cheryl's house. I asked the front desk the closes post office here at the hotel. Then after we sent off our package bound to Japan. We stopped by at Dairy Queen, its been awhile that I never eat this place.... we are talking of 3 years lol...Then we headed to Cheryl's house. She has an ester egg hunt. I helped her a bit on setting up and giving instructions her kids. She has at least 8 kids to take care of. She has her own daycare at home. Kids had fun after all. When all her kids are all gone by picking up their parents. We headed to Cathy's house and do jacuzzi. Its fun huh!!!

Whoa! No new post here

I just could not believe it. My blog is so way way out of the world. No updating.
