All Insured

Just received three term life insurance quotes online for my parents via email. I’m so glad the Internet was discovered or else I’d still be visiting several agencies just to get a simple quote. Now all I need to do is compare all of the benefits and hopefully make a decision before the year ends. They are all surprisingly affordable but I’m still weighing in the advantages of getting a full term. I would’ve gotten a full term if only I wasn’t still paying for my two daughters’ pension plans and our car insurance. We got so many obligations annually that I don’t count out Christmas bonuses anymore knowing most of them will go to our insurance anyway. But I’m not complaining as I know that it’s all for the family’s sake.

Security at Home

My mother-in-law have been missing a few bills from her wallet almost every other day. She wasn’t sure who to blame because there are so many people living in the house. There’s us, my youngest brother-in-law and the helpers. Since it’s been happening frequently, I told her to get one of those affordable security cameras for her room. That way, the culprit will be scared to do it again and we can use it to check on my kids whenever they want to play in their grandmother’s room. On another note, I hope that she’s just misplacing her bills. If someone’s really stealing from her, it will cause a lot of conflict in the house and that’s something we can do without.

Getting Old

One thing that my uncle would appreciate now is roadside assistance plan if he wants to keep everyone in the family safe. He just purchased an RV, much to his oldest daughter’s dismay (she wanted a timeshare instead) and already planning on several trips for next week alone. I do think it’s pretty cool the way you can bring your entire “home” everywhere you go. Plus they have so many parks and RV camps a couple of hours where they live that I’m sure they’ll make the most out of their very expensive purchase.

I envy him actually. I want to be able to buy something as frivolous when the time comes for retirement. Not exactly an RV but more like a vacation house or another property away from the city. It is where my husband and I can settle, watching the sunset and the stars afterwards, without the pollution and noise. The kids and grandkids can come visit us and we’ll have plenty of barbecue parties and reunions during the holiday season.

No Zzzs for Months

Thanks to our gadgets, we can survive sleepless nights with our newborn. With our two ipods and one iPhone, my husband and I can past the time by watching movies, reading ebooks or playing games while we take turns in feeding, changing and rocking the baby back to sleep.

Sleep deprivation is so hard but with the help of these god-send gadgets, we can force ourselves to be wide awake. I mean, you wouldn’t want to fall asleep while burping the baby, would you? I was close to doing that while I was carrying the baby on the sofa bed. I thought I could close my eyes and get a few minutes of sleep but as I was about to doze off, I suddenly felt like the baby is sliding down from my arms. Luckily, I woke up in time but you can bet I’d never do such thing as napping again.

Still on HGH

Speaking of hgh supplements, my mother-in-law who is a fan of all kinds of supplements just bought a new range of products from her favorite supplier. She also gave me a short lesson on how our body needs HGH now that we’re not getting any younger. Some of the things I learned about HGH supplements: (or at least the ones that registered to me)

- Reduce excess body fat
- Reduce wrinkles, signs of aging
- Increase muscle mass
- Stimulate growth of internal organs
- Stimulate the immune system

This is unlike those hgh injections that have been banned by FDA due to very bad side effects and was originally designed for AIDS patients, children who can’t produce enough HGH and adults with HGH deficiency caused by sugery and radiation.

Supplements Anyone?

All kinds of supplement reviews are posted in the Internet today. I’m not sure which one to believe anymore as they could be recommending products of those who can pay for advertisement. I still think that the best place to look for a reliable review is through forums and blogs. These reviews are written by real people who have tried the product themselves. I for one frequent parenting and forums for women whenever I want to get an opinion for something that I want to buy. It’s also a great place to learn new things or find alternatives that you’ve never heard about.

Save Money with Coupons

I love coupons! Why? Well, aside from the obvious reason that you can save tons of money, it’s also a great way to discover great product offerings. I’m a regular visitor of ebillme.com and my favorite section are their clothes and home everything coupons. There’s just something new each day that I can’t help but hoard the coupons for future use. Imagine being able to save $15-$30 per item which isn’t bad already but what more if you add it up with other items? I always try to stock up on bed sheets and kitchen wares so they really help me a lot in saving money. And now that we have a new baby in the family, I’m sure I’ll be hanging out on their Baby & Kids category to watch out for great discounts.

Shopping for a Mini-Mattress

I’m thinking of buying a new mattress now that the baby is here. But this one will be just something that we can put on top of our sofa bed where the baby and I sleep. I find it too thin and often wonder if our baby is comfortable sleeping on it. My only problem is where to store the mattress when the sofa bed is folded during day time. We have so many stuff now even after having a garage sale that I’m planning of having another one for my daughter’s old toys.

Speaking of sofa beds, I just love ours. It looks similar to this one from Ikea except it’s cheaper and the color complements all of our bedroom furniture.

Home Office Project

One of my projects after the baby comes out is to fix my work area. I already have a new computer table (which I love to bits!) and a new chair so all I need are a few more office furniture accessories. I’d really want some shelves like the ones on the photo below. We found some really great DIY shelves so I had my husband promised to build them for me.

And if we ever get lucky to find a huge space such as this, it will definitely be a dream come true. Just love the high ceiling and the bright natural light. We could turn this into a design studio / music workshop for the husband and me.
