It Needs to Be Cleaned!

I am good at cleaning the house/apartment except the ceiling fans. I so hate it next to ironing clothes. So as you can see, this ceiling fan in our bedroom is so dirty because hubby keeps forgetting to do the cleaning for me :-(. Finally, today, he cleaned it, yay :-)!

Before...

After...

Thanks, Hon :-)...you are so sweet!

Real Simple Magazine reader Maryellen Klements offered up this awesome tip for cleaning ceiling fans with a pillowcase. Just hook the open end of the pillowcase over the fan blade and pull it across the dusty blade, catching all the dust inside the case. You might want to add some dusting spray to the case beforehand too.

Looking for Pregnancy Forum?

One of the great adjustment I have made in my life was living on a foreign country where everything was new to me. The language barrier was one of them, then the culture, background and race and so on and so forth. Then, I got pregnant and that makes it even harder. There was no one I can turn to for help since my in-laws live far away from us just like my parents. I still think that we lost our first child because of my lack of knowledge about pregnancy and stuffs even though my doctor assured me that it wasn't my fault. Had I known the Pregnancy Forum, could have had saved my baby's life. Believe it or not, it has been seven years, but I still mourn her death. I miss her so much. Now, I am not allowed to get pregnant again because of my health condition. My poor son has been asking for a brother/sister lately and we can't do anything about it. Someday, when we are qualified, we plan to adopt a child not only because of our son's wish, but also because we want more children. My husband and I both love kids and big a family.

1. The lesson I learned yesterday was when I kiss my son, he knows that is my way of saying that I Love Him so much.
2. A peaceful home is where friends and family meet.
3. All these years I never thought he would still think of me .
4. Everything is ready when I arrived.

6. Everyone was happy is what I remember most from that day.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to finishing my chores, tomorrow my plans include spend a quiet time with hubby and son and Sunday, I want to rest and take a nap after church!

Busy Day Today!

It is a great day today, not that it is sunny and a little bit warmer outside. It is because there is no school today. My son is home with me. He told me last night that he would help me clean the apartment. He loves to vacuum and dust. Thank goodness I have little hands to help me; yup I have many things to do from folding and putting away clothes (not my fave chores aside from ironing), cleaning bathrooms and bedrooms. I still need to run the dishwasher and mop the floor. I tell you, when I get lazy....I really do. I am so lucky to have a husband who never complains, but does the cooking and cleaning kitchen when he is off from work. Speaking of work, one more night and the three days off work is here....misses him when he is at work especially at night. Well, so much for my laziness, I need to get my butt out of the couch and start doing my chores. I have promised my son last night that I will take him to McDonald because he did a good job at school for the past six months considering he is the youngest in his class. We had a Parents and Teacher Conference yesterday morning and hear nothing but praises and good word about Jake from his teacher. Great job , son! We are very proud of you!
