The occasional animated cartoon movie can be incredibly good for the soul. I’m so glad we didn’t miss the awesomeness of Kung Fu Panda.
Well, to start with, Po is such a lovable little panda I just feel like tapping his tummy. Well, he’s not exactly little, in fact, he’s really way too fat for those [...]

I’ve been rushing around last weekend as usual, picking up and dropping off my kids, doing my groceries…I didn’t think much of it although there’s this nagging feeling in the back of my mind that every time I step into my car, I’m burning gas and money!
It was hard not to notice though that compared [...]

I was out shopping for a baby gift the other day. It’s been a long time since I bought baby stuff since my kids are all teens now. I couldn’t believe how expensive some of the items are. Well, not that they were cheap back then, but they certainly didn’t cost as much.

The weather being so hot all year, it’s really hard to drag myself out there to give my car a good scrub. Not [...]

It never ceases to amaze me how some women can spend all day in their heels. Doesn’t it make you want to keel over at some point? Well, I guess maybe practice makes perfect.
I certainly couldn’t do it. That’s why I stick to flats when I’m on the go. Not flip-flops though, I’m pretty hopeless [...]

We’ve been going to the movies a lot lately. Five movies in three weekends? You’d think we’re on a movie marathon here . When there are free movies, we’re there. Times are bad so we gotta take what we can get.
But not all the movies we watch are free. Movies don’t come cheap either. [...]

The weekend is almost here. This means I need to go get my groceries done. I used to do my groceries on weekends because there seems to be better bargains and promotions and food sampling. Yes, gotta love stuffing yourself silly with mini-portions of whatever they hand out to you.
But Friday seems to be a [...]

It’s dark outside for a change. But it’s not raining nearly hard enough to beat the stifling heat and humidity we’ve been putting up with lately. I have lots of errands to run and I’d certainly appreciate cooler weather.
I’ve been getting headaches every day for the past couple of weeks. It’s the heat and the [...]
