She celebrated her 6th Birthday party in school about 12 days earlier. I practically prepared everything last week of February already. I wanted her to have a morning tea party so when the teacher offered that she celebrates it on their last day, I immediately grabbed the opportunity. It will be a perfect theme since they will have a picnic in the garden.
Her sample invitation was posted here.
I am proud of what i have prepared for her party. Here are the details:
The hats…these were different colored hats given to the classmates.
Her lootbox and what’s inside…
The cake and the cupcakes…
The mugs and the juices…the mugs were also souvenirs.
The birthday girl enjoyed her party very much.
It was a great way to celebrate with her classmates in Kindergarten. Next year, birthday parties are no longer allowed in grade school level

I always get queries from clients on what to give their male principal sponsors and even their male entourage. Sometimes, I am really lost with ideas already aside from the usual wines, pens and neckties as options . Recently, I came across these nice Gift Baskets for Men. I didn’t realize that these goodies could actually be great present for men especially those sugar-free sweets and savories. I also like those coffee inspired gift basket. Glad such options are now available in the market.

I have tasted the best Phad Thai in the whole world! 
No kidding. It was so good! We went to the buffet lunch in Mandarin Oriental Hotel and we enjoyed the whole experience from riding their shuttle boat to transport you to the other side of the river to dining in thai way. The food was great and most especially the freshly cooked Phad Thai. My friends and I almost lost our conversation about fore factor reviews after trying the popular Phad thai noodle. We just raved about it too much 
That lunch is a must try when you are in Bangkok!

Excited to go to Bangkok with friends. I am sure it will be a truly fun vacation with them as we have been planning it already for months. I almost thought we won’t push through already. But so happy that we are actually flying to the city tonight. Bangkok is actually food trip and shopping. I do not think I need natural hgh releasers now and even any diet pills as I do intend to pig out there, lol! I love thai food and of course I love shopping the most!

Before I even begin the lcd tv reviews that my husband is asking me to do since we are getting a new once for the guest room, I wanted to share the cute summer hats I got in time for my daughter’s birthday party in school. These were super cheap from Divisoria Mall but a super hit to the kids. A very appropriate nice detail to the mad hatter’s tea party of Margaux.

As most of my friends know, my ultimate dream vacation will be to go to Europe for our 10th year wedding anniversary next year. So I am gathering as early as now some information and even flyers from different agencies. I am starting to compile so I can prepare our itinerary and of course our budget.
This is an example of a tour package I got from Rome to London for 9 days. The tour is already inclusive of all attractions, accommodations as well as food. Now, after computing, I need to save more!

The trip to the hardware store last week made us buy a new mower for our lawn. We are trying to find those type like the zero turn riders but those are not just available in the store. So we opted to the regular ones. Now, I can just ask the driver to do it instead of hiring a grass cutter every month. I better be back to gardening too!
