On budgeting household expenses

04.09.2014 by Leah // 4 Comments

How do you budget your household expenses?  I do it the very traditional way - through the "envelope system". Yes, these are the actual budget envelopes that I use.  They are made of recycled mail envelopes, prettified with craft papers and alphabet stamps I got from Divisoria last year. I used to have an old set of these envelopes, made also from recycled mail ... READ MORE

Shop Craft Supplies, Baking Supplies and Holiday Decorations at Gourdo’s!

11.27.2013 by Leah // 21 Comments

Quite a long title for a post, huh?  I'm hoping AJ will get to read this because it sums up everything I wanted to have this Christmas, haha! You see, we were at Greenhills Promenade last Sunday (it's been a long while since we're last there), and I passed by Gourdo's at the second floor to see if there are flash sales. I swear, I thought I was transported to Santa's gift ... READ MORE

Despite the series of natural calamities we experienced in the recent months, the stores in Metro Manila are already decorated with Christmas garlands, and yes, radio stations have started playing Christmas songs. For sure, Christmas this year is going to be a quiet one, and I'd like to think that it is in these trying times that people really reflect on its true ... READ MORE

2 weeks ago, my kumare, Denise, asked me to pinch in ideas for a homemade birthday card she's making for her daughter (and my inaanak) Maxine, who celebrated her 8th birthday last July 19.   Maxine asked for a "birthday card" as gift from her parents and so Denise has to make one that will surprise her very creative and artistic daughter hehe! The "birthday card" wish of ... READ MORE

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

~

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
