Loving our home

Posted by iamjacq under Our Home

It’s been four months since we moved to our own home and it’s only now that I’m thinking about Free Moving Announcements and house warming invitations. We didn’t really need to make a moving announcement at that time but everyone loves a party so we’ll have one.

I love our home. I love the environment here, our neighbors are nice and everything we need is just around the corner. I love that it is quiet here and our view is fantastic. We’re still in the process of decorating but I’d like to take our time to find pieces that we love for our house. We got the basics covered and I’m pleased with the furniture we bought. My little girl loves it here too.

Etsy Finds

Posted by iamjacq under My blurbs

null null null
I found these retro looking pots at Etsy and I thought the colors are fun. These will definitely brighten up any kitchen. Although I don’t think it would fit the modern look I want for our kitchen one or two of these won’t be bad I guess. I got a notification for these items on my email as well as an article about Blue Cross NC among other things, sometimes I they end up in my spam folder (which reminds me that I should check more often because sometimes legitimate emails end up being considered as spam). Anyway there’s more fun retro/vintage items on Etsy and I love browsing their virtual store aisles admiring them. My pots are the boring ones you get at Ikea, I wish I can find pots like this here.

Lights out

Posted by iamjacq under My blurbs

My mom wanted to to find her a local supplier for affordable outdoor lighting. The lights on our front gate died on them last week and I think it’s beyond repair thus they need a new one. I told her I would ask friends around and see if they know someone. I don’t need this type of lighting her since we live in an apartment building and there’s lights on the hallway so I don’t have a clue what is a good brand. She wanted something similar to what they have now but in a warm yellow light (they use to have white I think). I plan to go to Ikea next week to pick up a few stuff for the little girl’s party maybe I’ll check there and see what they have.

Online research

Posted by iamjacq under My blurbs

I am hoping to get more traffic in my blogs. I don’t know much about seo tool so I’m planning to do a bit of research online. Oh I have to add this on my to do list, I have a lot of things to do this week. My little girl’s birthday is only a few weeks away so I’m busy preparing for that. This is why I need a to do list so I can keep track of everything and make sure I have time to finish tasks and the preparation for the party.

Happy Graduation

Posted by iamjacq under My blurbs

I know it’s still a few months away but a teacher friend of mine is already planning to design College Graduation Announcements for her graduating class for this school year.

She said it is still the same excitement whenever she sees her students go up the stage to receive their diplomas. Planning for the graduation invitation and distributing graduation announcement is one of her favorite part of the process. It gives her a sense of pride watching her students reach a milestone in their life. I remember my graduation and how happy I was when I walked up that stage. I remember how happy my parents where and how I was glad that my loved ones were there to share in my joy.

A nice family day

Posted by iamjacq under Family Time, Shopping

We went to Tampines central last Monday, the perfect end to our long weekend :) It was Iyah’s first time to go there, hubby thought it would be nice to go somewhere different for a change. It seems he was tired of going to the same malls all the time (lol). We had a nice time there and we did a little bit of shopping too.

Since we already had lunch we decided to have an afternoon snack when we reached the mall.


J.CO was the first place that caught our eyes, doughnuts and coffee….of course I’m there. They have yogurt too so I ordered one too with fresh fruits for toppings. My husband is not a fan of yogurt so I finished it by myself. Iyah loved the doughnuts of course and so did hubby. We went shopping afterwards. The mall have lots of interesting shops, from clothing to gift shops and toy stores. I got 2 more presents for Iyah while hubby got some items for the home theatre (don’t ask me what because I have no idea).

After heading home of course we had to go from dinner. We went Say Cheeze, it was our first time dining there too. The food was okay, nothing special but it wasn’t bad too. Hubby said his burger was great. I had baked salmon risotto and Iyah had a kiddie meal. The price was reasonable and the staff were efficient.

Overall it was a nice day at the mall. I’m planning to go back there because of the newly opened Disney store. I’m going to pick up a few things for Iyah for her birthday.

Wishlist for the exchange gift

Posted by iamjacq under My blurbs, Shopping

It’s that time of the year when we make our wish list for the exchange gift. I don’t have anything in mind really, I just thought about this tonight when I draw the name of my baby who is…..secret (lol).

Time to add some new books to my stash, I wanted light hearted and fun so these would be nice…

These are Sophie Kinsella’s books that I don’t have yet (it would be nice to complete my collection).


These are the opposite of Sophie’s books and I’d probably cry get teary eyed reading these books which would get a lot of teasing from my husband but I’d be happy to receive these as well (I know I haven’t read The Time Traveler’s Wife yet, I’m lame).

The prices are in Singapore dollars because it is a local store so it would be easier to shop. My mommy can pay through paypal too, only she have to sign up for an account to shop. Of course these are also available at amazon if my mommy prefer to shop there :)


Last item on my wishlist. Love this scent. I found another local store, shipping is free for this item (I think) and the site accepts paypal.

Thanks in advance mommy!

Precious photos

Posted by iamjacq under My Blurbs

I take lots of pictures almost everyday, most of the time my little girl is my subject of course. It’s nothing fancy  just me capturing her playing, reading a book or making silly faces and I do take several shots a few times a day. It’s a good thing that online storage is widely available these days, I get to back up all my photos online just in case my external hard drives die on me. I store my photos in two separate EHDs so online storage is holds the 3rd set of my photos. This gives me the assurance that I have all those years of photos safe, I don’t want to lose any of them.

Fun Image

Posted by iamjacq under Crafty Things

exercise

I found this image online and I thought it is fun and kind of true. No one can expect to  lose belly fat by just sitting on the couch all day (I have to remember this…lol). There’s lots of things on my to do list today. I want to make time doing some fun crafts with the little girl as well as some hybrid projects too. I have this wooden pencil holder that I want to alter to be fun and colorful instead of boring. I picked up my modge podge a few weeks ago, I have all the materials I need…I just have to find the time to do it.

Mooncakes for me

Posted by iamjacq under My Blurbs

240px-Moon_Cakes I’ve been meaning to buy a box of mooncakes for a week now but everytime we’re at the mall I forget. I have to at least have a box before the mid-autumn festival ends. I won’t have all the mooncakes for myself of course or I might actually need weight loss diet pills. I like to eat half of a piece then leave the rest for hubby to finish off (the little girl doesn’t like the taste so she’s not interested). I don’t get the fancy and expensive ones though a box from Bengawan Solo is enough for me. Now that I think about it I can ask my husband to buy one for us.
