Morning Person

Happy Monday, everyone!

My weekend have been busy: exams, ballet, dentist, church. We were really tired last Saturday and all we wanted to do yesterday was sleep. I baked a mango loaf when I cannot sleep anymore. I thought it was a failure, but turned out that the center became a mango filling. I will post it in my food blog soon.

I think I am becoming a morning person. Blame Alex’s school. They transferred us to a morning schedule first because of the exams, second for the practices for their celebration of learning. I kind of hate it because it disrupts Maxyn’s routine as she also gets up when we do. The good part is that all of us get to catch the morning sunshine. But I am becoming indebted to my sleep bank. I think this means I should sleep a lot earlier at night and not when it is morning already. Oh well. Got to get used to this schedule.

Just two more weeks and it is vacation! Weepee!

Saving Options for Our Child’s Education

As a parent, we have big dreams for our children and we know that their future depends on the quality of education they receive today. This is why, in the midst of growing financial worries, we work doubly hard to prepare for their children’s future educational needs.

But with school expenses increasing every year, our savings may not be enough to cover college tuition fees and other expenses. Aside from regularly saving money, one can also prepare by getting profitable investments that offer better returns. Invest in companies which have made a mark and have a proven track record in the industry, like Insular Life.

On the Price of Maternity Clothes Today

I have quite a few pregnant friends this year and I kept on telling them how lucky they are when it comes to maternity clothes. Why? Because cheap maternity clothes are now very accessible!

When I got pregnant the first time, about six years ago, my clothes were cheap and affordable, yes. But they were not very fashionable. Now, the maternity clothes have them all: comfy, stylish, and affordable! Well, you still have to look for what suits you best, but the point is, there are loads of choices everywhere!
