Excited Much

Excited much? You bet I am.Anytime this week or next week, my two boxes full of Mega Blocks will arrive. Oh, I just can’t wait for those toys. It was my last online toy purchase and it’s huge, imagine two balikbayan boxes full of Mega Blocks building blocks. But it won’t be my last online purchase as I am planning to buy other stuff on the net like Kohler kitchen faucets. For sure the kids will have a lot of fun and they’d go crazy with it. I promise to share some to my two nephews. I love giving toys to them, those two boys are just like my son too.

Aside from the toys, I am also waiting for the clothes I bought last month. My favorite online kids clothes store went on summer sale last month and I just can’t resist. Good thing my slave give me enough money to shoulder the shipping cost (you have to figure out who my slave is.. she is a mom blogger to and I love her to bits).

That’s the stuff that I am waiting. It will arrive anytime next week. It will take 10 to 15 days before it arrives here and it was shipped last July 2. So it might be here, the earliest on July 12.. I hope!

Home Improvements

When people here talk about window replacement, I have no idea what they are talking about. They say it can increase the face value of a certain house but really, how? So before this replacement replace my head, I just have to know what replacement windows are. Based on my studies and reading, these are windows that are used not to actually replace the window. It utilizes the old frame of the window and just put a better one on the front. There are many types of materials used in replacement windows and one of the common type of material used is vinyl. Most people liked the idea of having vinyl replacement windows. I guess vinyl is the next best thing when it comes to home repair and home improvement. Even my sister loves using vinyl products. Her snack bar flooring seems like it was carpeted but in fact it was made out of vinyl tiles with carpet texture. Another vinyl product that is getting more popular in the market is insulated vinyl siding. This can make your home look differently. If you want a home that looks like it was made out of wood but you don’t want the hassle of having a wood home, then this product is for you.

Moving Again

I just learned that my mom needs to move out of their place before May ends. The owner of the house will be needing their place soon. I heard they will put up a ministry there. They only have less than two months to vacate the place and move. Moving is not really easy, specially the packing part. I remember the last time they move, it was not planned. They just put all their things in a sack and off they go. I wish I was there then, I would have hired some movers to help them. You know I always plan ahead. Remember most of our things are neatly packed now, when I thought we would be moving this coming summer.

On Monday or Tuesday, I might buy a lot of moving boxes for my mom. They will start packing next week and I really wish I was there to help him. Maybe we can go home next week since it’s already Holy Week then. For sure, me and my helpers can do a lot to make their packing easier And knowing my mother, she would not throw away things that easily, she will need me for that. I am the declutter queen in our family.LOL
