Family First. Kids First.

This is a great reminder for all of us. It doesn’t necessarily mean that parents needs to stop working and stay at home and be with kids. Different families call for different situations because of different circumstances. It just means that when push comes to shove, one should never forget who their priority is – and that would be the family. What would you do with all your money when you can’t even enjoy them?

As my father once told me while smoking a Rocky Patel cigar, “Do not work for the money. Let the money work for you!”

Disney T-Shirts

I have been looking at Disney-inspired t shirts for all of us in the family and I need to have shirts for older people as well. I have got the kids taken cared of – it is easy to buy them Disney shirts as they are aplenty. Now to get shirts for us – I have seen these and would be consulting with my sisters which ones I should buy.

Clothes for Kids and Teens

I have to admit I am one of those mothers who love to dress up her children. I try to be frugal and practical about it, but who can resist cute clothes, especially those for little girls? It doesn’t help that I have good-looking kids (don’t all mothers have beautiful children?)

I have a pre-schooler and a tweener for children so I get to explore clothes for boy and girls. My tweener is on the brink of puberty and pretty soon he might be needing acne treatment. He is developing his own fashion sense so most of the time, I *try* to let him be.

One of the stores I want to buy from all the time, if only I have resources, is Zara. Here is the ZARA Kids Girl Boy LookBook April 2011, perfect for my little girl:

Going Green – Celebrating Earth Day

April is the month when we celebrate Earth Day and we are trying to be greener as a family, meaning more environment-conscious, making green choices and just reducing whatever waste we will throw. It is true, whatever we throw away will come back to us so might as well find a better use and recycle an usb barcode scanner for example.

I am happy that there is a city which banns the use of plastic bags in commercial establishments, even disposables. A restaurant was ordered closed and suspended after not heeding the implementation, giving away takeout food in styrofoam plates.

Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
