The Salad Caper

Before there were kids, I was subscribed to at least three beauty magazines. I never fail to get copies every month. Add to that is a gossip/celebrity magazine I pick up when the cover picks my fancy. After there were kids, I just longingly look at the magazines because money spent there would be better [...]

Happy 35th Birthday Hello Kitty!
And what better way than to remember (and commercialize if I might add), Hello Kitty’s birthday by featuring 35 adorable Hello Kitty toys for free in a McDonalds Happy Meal.

This was released mid-August and was supposed to run until September 20 but stocks have been running out [...]

My husband is a huge hobbyist. He fleets from one hobby to another, and he collects a lot of stuff along the way. I really do not complain because I, too, am the same way. Although once I discovered digital scrapbooking, I never really got involved with any other hobby. And it is never messy [...]

We have been wanting to buy a home theater system for our house for the longest time. We are avid movie watchers but prefer to enjoy them in the comforts of our own home. Maybe we can finally buy one this Christmas. I’m busy poring over home theater buying guides so I will know the [...]

Two of my cousins are expecting and they are going to deliver only 6 weeks apart. To say that our big family is excited is an understatement! We love having new babies in our families. It is too bad both of them are separated by an ocean otherwise we can hold one big baby shower [...]
