Guest post of the week by Nestor Nielsen

Someone once told me that their family always gets a big family gift instead of a bunch of small gifts that nobody even really wants. I thought this was a great way to cut down on expense and clutter, so I asked my family what they thought of the idea. We brainstormed a list of ‘family gifts” that we could get. They included a Wii, a family vacation, a basketball hoop, and a flat screen with a subscription to satellite TV. They are all, obviously, very different in pricing, but we thought that putting together a bunch of different options would make it a fun game. So, we put all of the ideas in a bowl and picked one out. It was very dramatic, and when I announced that satellite TV won, everyone was thrilled! I went to direct tv walnut creek, and ended up spending much less on that then I would have on all of the trinkets added together normally. I think it’s a great tradition, and will probably keep it up!

Oh my, I just love the rfid wallet that my friend bought for her father. When I see it, I am thinking of buying some and giving it away for all of my relatives who will visit me at my place. I know that this type of wallet will be of use to them. Also, I think, they will love it since it’s made of leather. And for the colors, I will just buy the browns and the blacks so that they will have some choices. But I am sure the browns will be the favorites of all.

I will always value learning, school, and education. I will even appreciate those people who will continue studying even if they’re already married and old, or those professionals who want to pursue other field of studies.

Anyway, I am saying this with regards to this leap frog product. Even if this is for three years old but then, I think it will still be of use for my home schooling five year old kid because there is a + sign which means for 3 years old and older. I am also thinking that this is even useful for those adults who are learning and who want to learn how to write.

Before I wrapped this, my kid is already using this thing. I asked him if he wanted this to be wrapped so that he can open it during Christmas and he said yes. But he tried to exhaust himself with using this before he handed it to me. What a kid! He’s just eager to have a regular schooling and to learn more. But then homeschooling is best for him for some reason and is the only thing for him to learn. Hope I did my best and hope he is learning from what I taught him through the materials I am providing him.

One of the things that I love buying online when I was pregnant with my baby girl was sexy maternity dresses. The colors that I love were all feminine ones. My 2nd pregnancy was totally different from my first one in which I didn’t like girly look as I wanted to wear jeans and pants during those 9 months. But with my baby girl, seemed like, I feel like a total woman that time. Even until now, I am still wearing my maternity dresses ‘coz it’s comfy, nice and it will always make me warm since I chose to buy maxi maternity dresses.

One of the things that my kid loves is music. In fact, he has a kiddy guitar right now in which he will just strum it in any ways he wants to. One time, when he was strumming his guitar while browsing his laptop, he said to me, “look mama, Gibson Les Paul Studio is awesome”. When I checked it, everything in that site was all guitars with quality and the designs were superb. So, I told him when he will grow big and when he will still love music, I will surely buy one of those. But for now that he is still a boy, he needs to be good so that he will be having and will be receiving rewards all the time. Being good and doing good things will always give him a good life. And that’s what I always tell him. But then, again, he insisted that he loves any of the available Gibson Les Paul Studio guitars. (he-he)

Crazy with Super Mario Wii! The result, the five year old kid asked that if possible he can buy this thing. This is a backpack for water container. This is cute but I think this is for 2 or three years old toddler.

We need a new trailer hitch for our pickup truck. This is in preparation for the small car whenever we will encounter some problem. It will be like it is our own way of towing our car so that we will save something instead. So, what we will be doing is to find a good online shop wherein we can choose different types of trailer hitch. Hope we can find a good price on this thing!

I have lots of friends who prefer to live in Pennsylvania. They say that they do love this state so much. They even petitioned their parents so as to live with them for good. Anyway, one of the main concerns of my friends is the pa electricity. It is good that they have some means of saving their power whenever they choose to. It will be like they will be having some sort of discounts. So, this will be of great help for them every month because they can easily save on their utility bills.

Yum pork skin! Though, I usually call it chicharon since this is what people call it in Ph. Anyway, I paired this with vinegar and one pack was not enough. I ate two packs at once and was craving for more. He-he!
