Rashes

Last night I was very frantic when I saw red rashes in our DD's legs and some on her arms. I immediately called my Mom. She told me that I have to observe her if she is feeling sick, have fever, and crying. My Mom also said maybe the food that she is eating. I did not give her new food. She is eating her usual food. She is very active though and she don't have fever. I just noticed that she will fuss because she can't pass gas. I think also that her tummy is bothering her. She is teething right now and as what in our dialect is "dinala sa nag ngipon" or "hangin-hangin". This is what my Mom said. I am observing her if it gets worst I will call in the clinic and possibly bring her in. I pray though that it is not something serious.

Passport for My Daughter

My husband asked me to get our daughter her passport because we are planning to visit my family in the Philippines. I really don't want to go to the hassle of going to the post office because it is a bit far from where we live. I am very glad that there is now a passport service on the internet. This will really make application easier. I have a friend who used the service already and she said it is pretty fast. I believe they can expedite the process so you can have your passport as soon as possible. This kind of service really comes handy for a Mom like me.

High Chair Drama

I remember the first time we let her sit on this high chair. She can't sit yet on her own that time so we strapped her in with the seat belt. I remember I made an entry about it here. Now that she is very mobile everytime I let her sit on this high chair she will cry if I put the belt on. She will pull it and if I will not unbuckle her she will be fidgety on her sit and will refuse her food. She really know what she wants now. So when I feed her, since I am with her I will not put the seat belt on or else we will be fighting during feeding time :-)

Bathroom Sinks

I wish we have two bathroom sinks so me and hubby will not fight who uses first. We are not fighting literally though :-) It is just that it will be cramped if we stand up together in the bathroom using it. With our apartment before, aside from having two bathrooms, our master bath have double sinks so it was very roomy. Here in this new apartment the bathroom is large but there is limited counter space. It will be cramped some more now since there will be three of us using it. But I know this will not be forever because I will make sure when we have our place our master bathroom will have two sinks. I found sinks that I like at faucet.com and I know we can get sinks there when we are ready to have our own house built.

So Fast

This week came by so fast :-) isn't it? It is Friday and I know a lot of you are applauding when this day comes. For a SAHM like me everyday is something to look forward to :-) This will change when hubby comes home because weekends here will be different. I can put in my schedule an outdoor activity once he's here. I like it though since I don't like going out without him. That is why we are very excited and if days comes so fast, I am most happy. This will mean we will be together again, as a family.

Protect Your Property

Nowadays it is very important to get protection for any untoward that may happen in our lives. This, I think, is the basic thing that we can do to secure ourselves as well as the rest of the family. Even if we live in an apartment or have our own home we need to have home security. If you need more information about how to get home security, you can check out homesecurityinformation.com. You can get a lot of helpful information from this site. There are also tips and information on what type of home security you can get for door, windows and the likes. Check them now and don't delay protecting your property.

Very Sweaty

This is a question to all Moms, does your baby sweats a lot? Our DD is very sweaty. When she goes to sleep her head will be sweat out like there's a small leak where sweats just pouring out. I sometimes got worried coz it seems like it's too much. I asked my Mom and my cousin and they told that its normal as along as the baby do not run temperature or not feeling sick. I even asked the doctor about it too and she just said not to over dress her or what not. I think I just worried too much. I noticed this when she was less than a month old. Then I thought it was okay already because she don't sweat much anymore until lately. I think it has something to do with the weather as well. I hope this will be minimized so I will not worry a lot.

Stark Museum of Art

Do you love art? Are you fond of visiting museums? I am. I am an art loving person. I like visiting museums and see art displays. I am not really well versed with different collections of art from all over the world and different era but I am very willing to learn. I was told that at Orange, Texas there is an art Museum that focuses on the art of American West as well as American Indian Art. This is the Stark Museum of Art.

This Museum started by the vision of mother and daughter, H.J. Lutcher Stark and Miriam Lutcher Stark. They are art collectors that decided to showcase and share the beauty of their passion to other people hence this Museum was established. All of their art collections that depicts mostly of American West comprises of decorative items, furniture, sculpture, print arts like rare books and manuscripts, paintings and more. It is a very noble cause opening up such a great venue of developing people's knowledge in art and literature in this modern time.

The Stark Museum has a lot to offer. It can be an educational venue for schools who wanted to introduce to their students about art. They accept tours and offers programs such as lectures, discussions and anything that involves enhancement of knowledge in art. They use all their art collections as the object of educational endeavor. This helps also teachers and researchers in giving their students the best art knowledge as well as research visuals.

So if you come by to Orange, Texas don't forget to pay the Stark Museum of Art a visit. It is a must see. You can also check out their schedule for displays and exhibitions. They have in their website different schedules including past, present and future exhibits. Be knowledgeable in art and explore what this great Stark Museum has to offer.

Clingy

Our DD is so very clingy now. If I will be out of her sight she will cry. Even if I put her inside her playpen and I will stand in the kitchen looking at her she will really cry. I think this is the stage where they have that separation anxiety. But if we go out and she see other people she is not scared. Even if she haven't seen them before she still got to them and smile. I hope this stage will pass fast.

Check Out Who is the Best

I prefer buying clothes or any apparel that are quality but of course not hard on our pocket. We are using it all the time to protect our body so might as well get something that we know we will feel good. This is why I love Dockers apparel. Their products are made of fine and quality materials. Me and hubby own some and I can't say anything against the products, they really last long.

Speaking of this Dockers line, there is a Dockers Commercial contest that is going on at nbc.com. This Dockers contest allows all those that have stories about their favorite pants.

Your video commercial will then be voted along with the other submissions. Once you win, your work will have the chance to be aired at Jay Leno's show. Isn't it great?

You can not only say to the world how you like you favorite Dockers pants but also debut your tv ad creation in a very popular show.

New Template

Wow for the longest time I decided to change template in this blog. I had my old template since 2005 so I guess it is time for me to have another one. The image in this template truly depicts my status right now, a woman juggling too many roles in life; taking care of the household, motherhood, work, and anything in between. Although I feel the toxic sometimes I still feel contented and happy because I have a wonderful family and very supportive friends here, in the Philippines as well as in the blogsphere.
