A few days ago, hubby insisted I get rain coats for the kids. I said “what? rain coats? A few weeks from now it’s gonna be summer.”

He may be right, I guess, the weather’s been freaky these days with flooding when it’s not even supposed to rain.

Last night we had a sort of freak thunderstorm, with loud clapping thunder and lightning that seem to hit a spot near one’s position. Argh, of course, there was traffic. These two go hand-in-hand 😀

I guess I have to get them rain boots too and a pair of dav rain boots for me. Ay La Nina, you are not cute. Summer is supposed to be hot and not short and wet 🙁

My post Christmas photo of the living room at my mother-in-law’s home. Lovely isn’t it?

For me, it feels like a fireplace with a roaring fire, a plush rug on glass mosaic tiles on the floor and a big rocking chair should complete the picture. Well, there is a rocking chair but not near the tree.

My interior designer brother-in-law prepped this as he always does every year. It takes a lot of time and patience along with creativity and style to make a home look like this.

Of course, it takes more than Christmas decorations to say the Christmas spirit is in the people’s hearts.

We love leche flan! Who doesn’t? Leche flan is one of the desserts that can also be considered as comfort food.

Here is a slice of our super yummy leche flan that has more eggs than the usual leche flan recipe:

This means I really have to read more on www.weightlosssupplement-s.com because the kids and the hubby have been requesting I make this more often. Sweet temptations like this leche flan is my waterloo and yes, I admit, there are times I have more than I should eat.

Click here for the recipe. Be prepared to have purchase more eggs than the usual though. You can also use the egg whites for another batch though this is not as creamy and as filling as the leche flan cooked with egg yolks.

Real estate properties, jewelry and financial stocks are some of the ways people invest their money. Some buy gold while some acquire businesses getting more than what they have invested once these businesses turn in profit.

As for me, my investment would be the education of my children. Yeah, corny huh but then again, even with a two-income family, we still have difficulties making ends meet and more often, we try as much as we can to have simple fun or home cooked meals which can happen even without getting the wallet to pay for a bill or purchase.

I love my family and I’ve devoted a lot of time, energy and love in nurturing my children.  I didn’t even go back to full time work even if the formerly home-schooled children are now in a regular school. I still teach a handful of students but being there for them when they get home is a joy I’d like to cherish for a long time. Yeah, even if I have to wake up at 4am everyday to prepare their packed food.

We are loving the cool weather. Though the hazy cool weather is making a lot of people sick with asthma, pneumonia and other respiratory illnesses, I must say this is my kind of weather.

Perfect time to be outdoors savoring the cool air but we have no place to go where the air is clean. The kids are sorta going through cabin fever but we ain’t going to the malls this time.

The fans are not turned on the whole time and that includes the ceiling fans.

I just wish the asthma attack on the little boy will not make a comeback after the New Year, booo! to those who light firecrackers, making the air more polluted than ever.

Today is the dear youngest child’s birthday. At this very moment, she is enjoying her new music player given by her Ninang Kim. She did write a wish list and I’m glad there were no toy soldiers nor toy guns with bushnell rifle scopes in it.  We have enough of these toys between her and her older brother. She enjoys these kind of toys, “military toys” according to her.

Except for one or two in her wish list, a little girl might have a brighter smile come Christmas eve 😉
