Excuse Me

While I am waiting for Sissy to finish her bathing routine and while I wait for the hubby to wake up, let me first squeeze in all the post I need to do today. I am still done with my Mommy Moments and other memes. I am saving that up for later.

Anyway, I just want to tell you guys that we will be having a huge change of mechanics for the contest. We will post about it on Monday and also the winners of our mini link love giveaway. I love the fact that every time I see my dashboard I got a hundred or comments, so please, spam me, spam me, spam me!

Moving on, I told you I may not be available, but I will be online still, so if you have questions, just IM through that ping box on my sidebar. So there, got to start posting now 🙂

More On Reverse Mortgage

Most of you may wonder why I am talking about reverse mortgage here in my blog. A lot of you thinks it is not related to being a mommy and being a stay at home mom. It may not have a direct impact on our lives but I was thinking of our future. It may be too early but I am now researching on how me and my partner’s life will be a lot easier when we grow older. I have no plans on asking money or support from my kids. I believe that our kids should never have the burden of taking care of us when we got older. We are the one responsible for taking good care of them.

Looking for options are a good way to show your kids that you will be dependent on them. I can see that reverse mortgage is a good option for senior citizens. I am really studying it hard, knowing the reverse mortgage pros and cons. I have to make sure if it would really fit us and if it is available in our country. If it is available here, I have a good feeling that this one will solve our senior years needs. I have been asking my mother if she have some reverse mortgage information or if she knew someone who can discuss it to me. Mom is the one who is into this kind of world, insurance, mortgage, real estates and the likes.

I am really firm in my belief that I should be the one taking care of myself when I got older. Sam (one my online buddy) shares the same belief. I am glad that my mother believes that too. She always say to us that we are not responsible for her. But of course, even if she say that, we still help her (in fact half of my income from January to March were give to her).

Busy Days

I have busy days ahead of me, oh no, I got busy weeks ahead of me. Second born will be turning 5 this March 15 and I am not finished planning and shopping yet. Today, me and sissy will sneak to the barat haven of the country, Divisoria! I need to buy some stuff for their loot bags and decors for his cake. I don’t bake cake but we love to deconstruct it and make it the way we want it to be. I usually buy a plain chocolate cake and arrange stuff over it.

See the cakes above? We bought it plain and designed it with the birthday’s theme. The birthday boy wants a Spongebob theme on his birthday so we’re off to buy Spongebob! Aside from the birthday, tomorrow is laundry day, and then Monday will be Sati’s 4th month bday and then Tuesday onwards is preparation time for the party which will happen on Monday. So from now until March 15, I may not be available but I will still be blogging.
