Lettuce, onions,cucumber, tomatoes and grapes. Yumm-o.

I love vegetable salads and this one was unique because it was prepared by a friend and shared by friends too.

My youngest child eats this kind of food because I prepare this at home too. My little boy is not fond of vegetable salad though and seems like he has built-in radar detectors and hides every time I call him to taste the vegetable salads I have prepared 😀

Having a teenager in the household includes the quest for the best acne treatments. Hormonal changes bring about these breakouts, among others like behavioral change and mood swings.

Thankfully my daughter is fairly easy to live with save for some episodes of guttural responses or none at all.

She has also taken to using a certain soap for her facial care and would not hear of using another product or brand. Natural skin care concoctions are also a welcome addition and we have tried several mixes already.

I hope other teens out there are open to the suggestion of using natural skin care mixes.

My husband and I love watching movies but  juggling a busy part-time work schedule and being a full-time mom while my husband works two part-time work (which roughly translates to two full-time work schedules at times), we rarely have time to watch movies these days.

With three kids in tow, movies are a luxury for us. I am pleased that the children would settle with watching DVD movies at home where they can see the film again and again and again. Yeah, repeat again several more times and you get the picture.

When I don’t have to go to my part-time work and I just stay at home, I watch movies online (sometimes I even try to do ab workouts insert rolls eyes here) or blog or read a book or watch TV series being shown half the world away. Yep, I am up to date with some of the TV series I like.

Household chores? Say that again?

When the kids are back from school, then I get very busy from 6pm till my eyes drop from exhaustion.

It gives me joy to be able to go home and visit my parents.

Aside from the fact that I would be able to spend a few hours with my parents, traveling on country road is a relaxing experience for me, seeing so much greenery without billboards and steel buildings blocking the view.

We would probably do a lot of traveling as a family if only we have the time, resources and a house-sitter who can be trusted to be left behind. For now, we don’t have plenty of all three things.

Futbol fans will be glued to their web tv and/or televised games of the World Cup Final on July 11, 2010.

Scientists and solar eclipse enthusiasts however are looking forward to seeing a total solar eclipse on July 11 at Cook Islands. The solar eclipse which will probably last for 5 minutes and 20 seconds will start at sunrise.

Still plenty of time to watch the World Cup Final. I might even try to watch both, in a while.
