Cute Roototes!

Posted by iamjacq under Shopping


I love these cute canvass tote bags from Rootote! It comes in different sizes and prints you’ll be spoiled for choices. The fun prints above are just sample of what they have online. If you want a more sophisticated tote they have those too, me I like these fun ones here. I’m sure Iyah would find them cute too. This tote is perfect to have around when you’re running errands. I love the roo pocket of the tote which is adapted from kangaroo pouch, just nice for keys, mobile phone and debit cards. It’s nice when you don’t have dig through a tote to find keys :)

Just reading about it

Posted by iamjacq under My blurbs

I’m not sure I would be someone who would consider going under the knife someday when I’m older. It is however nice to read about how technology is helping a lot of people enhance their looks. I wouldn’t have known about hcg injections austin if I haven’t read about it online. I’m against it actually, if someone would feel better about herself afterwards then it is something worth doing. It’s just that I’m not sure it’s for me. Keeping up appearance can be a challenge when age is slowly creeping up on you no wonder more people are turning to technology to turn back the hands of time.

Few more days

Posted by iamjacq under Planning a Birthday

My little girl’s birthday party is only a few days away, I have lots of tidying up to do. Most of the birthday related things are already crossed off my to do list so all we have to do now is clean the house. I can’t make our place as nice as those Denver apartments but I will try to make it decent for guests :) I’m as excited as the birthday girl, she knows her birthday is going to be this Friday and I hope she enjoys herself. I know she’ll be shy at first but when she sees all the kids I’m sure she’ll playing and running around with them.

The bathroom

Posted by iamjacq under Home Ideas

In a year or two me might consider redoing our kitchen and bathrooms, although we like our bathrooms now and I can live with the kitchen cabinets we could so much better. It would feel so nice to have a walk in bath designed according to our liking. I like these bathrooms below…

I don’t like clutter so I would love more shelves in the bathroom for toiletries and oh and a rain shower too. But right now I have to be contented browsing online and reading home decorating magazines.

Fun room ideas

Posted by iamjacq under Home Ideas

I found these online and thought these rooms are fun….

I like the clustering of photos in the room above, I could do the same for Iyah’s room. The bright prints on the frame are nice too. It’s great that the frames we put in her room could easily be rearranged. I can just add bigger frames and cluster it with the ones I already have.


Cute how are those dandelions on the wall, I like dandelions. I decided to put inexpensive flower stickers I got from Ikea in Iyah’s room because I couldn’t decide what I really want on her walls yet. Dandelions are cute and I can buy bigger decals than what’s in the room above.

Photo cards

Posted by iamjacq under My blurbs

I got some nice photos of the little girl today, I wonder if it’s too early to think about holiday photo cards this month. One can never be too early I guess, better early to avoid peak season rate as well as delay in shipping. I’ve been seeing Christmas kits here and there too so I can design cards if I want to start now. In the past years I’ve been too late so I ended up having no cards to send to loved ones so this year it might to me good to start early.

At this rate

Posted by iamjacq under My blurbs

The little girl’s birthday party is only a few days away, I’m really excited but I have a lot of things to do before the big day. For starters I have to assemble the guesbook, it’s all printed and cut to fit the accordion album and thanks to my Making Memories instant setter I was able to punch holes easily. I love my printer, it prints layouts nicely and so far I haven’t noticed any fading. I also have to find our what is the going life insurance rate these days for my mom who I should give a call later this week. Anyway I found a few sites online and I got a ballpark idea on the going rate so that’s what I’m going to tell her. My dad would probably call me this week too, I feel bad that the little girl is not in the mood to talk when he called a few days ago. It’s funny because when she plays and pretends she is talking to her daddyloo but when he calls she doesn’t want to say a word. Ahhh kids….

For the car

Posted by iamjacq under My blurbs

My mom needs some of advice on car mats, as if I’m the person to talk to about things like this when I don’t even know how to drive a car let alone know what is good for it. I told her she should ask the hubby who is far more knowledgeable than me. They are slowly replacing items that were damaged by flood water and I think she only has a few more items on her list. It’s good that the engine wasn’t damaged because the water didn’t reached that high but the floor was soaked with it and they needed to clean the muddy water thoroughly. At least they’re almost done…

Lovely Cushion Covers

Posted by iamjacq under My blurbs

I wan to buy a new set of cushion covers for our sofa. I want something that would go nicely together but not exactly of the same prints. As usual I browsed at Etsy and I found a few that I really like…

Aren’t these nice? They are by MARIESCOSYCUSHIONS at Etsy, she has lots of cushion covers and canvass fabric wall art. If the shipping doesn’t cost an arm and a leg I will buy her wall art. I like canvass prints better than frames ones to hang on the wall. It’s much easier to put on the wall (much to my husband’s happiness because he’s the one in charge of hanging them) and it looks nice up there too. This is why we have a few of them here at home.

A journal for me

Posted by iamjacq under My blurbs

il_430xN.93312086 I’m going to need a new journal since in a few months we’ll be welcoming a new year. I browsed Etsy after I finished reading an article about Asbestos legislation and I saw this beautiful handmade journal by BooksByStephen. I love the scrabble tiles in front of the journal, if only the inside pages are lined it would be perfect for me. Still I want to get this for my scrapbooking ideas and notes, something to jot down quotes for my pages and also to put memorabilias and other ephemera I can use.
