The Shopaholic In Me

Yey! This is indeed a very good treat for Citibank cardholders. Every Php 1,500 charge slip, entitles you to a box of 6 of Krispy Kreme donut.  Happy to avail of it last friday.  Maximum of 2 charge slips per transactions making it like a dozen of donuts.  Isn’t it amazing?  What a great deal!  I actually availed of it already last friday.  Brought these home for the kids.

With our upcoming trip, I have been thinking whether to get a separate luggage for the kids.  I came across Trunki in the mall.  I love it actually ever since I saw it.  But I am just wondering if it is really worth to get it.  Since I have two girls, I’m sure I’ve got to get one for each of them.  I hope they would really carry it though.  They’ve got cute new designs this time.  I love the idea though that kids can pack, carry and ride on their Trunki.  Should they get tired, we can also easily and safely pull them along.   Hmm, still thinking, should I get for the kids?

Sold these shoes/sandals of the kids last week to my twitter mates. It was sold in an instant. Although, those are not Cole Haan shoes, lol! I was surprised how fast you could sell in twitter.  I am enjoying de-cluttering my closet as well as the kids’ closet.   It feels like you have cleaned up some excess baggages from there.  At least we have more room for new stuff again.  Maybe, I could really buy a real Cole Haan shoes this time.  I’m heart the white sandal I saw from Blue Fly.

Thanks to Jane for buying the above LeSportsSac Large when their family went to Guam last January. I actually failed to get it the last time we were in Guam last November. I trusted her instinct and I was so happy with what she got for me. Not to mention that the price is also a great steal!  On sale at $83!!! I love the prints! It would be a perfect weekender bag/carry on bag to hold the girls’ stuff  for our trip to US. This would do while I “still cannot” afford an LV Keepall 50!

I know there is no winter here and it’s almost spring when we travel this May but what the heck, I just bought these winter jackets for the kids. I got these from Zara during their clearance sale last January. Lucky enough to find boots as well for the kids. These jackets are big enough for them anyway. It could even fit them even when they are 8 years old! so we have more time to use it. (reason to travel every year!)

My kiddies…

I am glad I went to the Toy Kingdom Sale few weeks back.  I was so dissapointed with the Richwell Sale last weekend.  Know why? 

1.  The warehouse was so hot.  As usual, with lots of people, it was extremely hot.

2.  Most items were the same as last year. 

3.  Items were scattered all over with no proper identification of tags whether it is at 50% off or only at 20%. 

4.  Yes, not all items were at 50%.  Those in nice boxes and newer items are only at 20%. 

5.  The ones at 50% were not even working (for some).  And you wouldn’t want to buy it as a gift for someone else.  (kakahiya!) or I wouldn’t even dare to buy it as well even if it’s just for my kids’ use.  I mean, Santa Claus is not giving a toy in dilapidated boxes!!!

6.  No playhouses or slides for sale.  The only one for sale was sold already as early as opening time at 9am! That’s what I plan to buy lang sana.

7.  2 cashiers only unlike in Toy Kingdom Sale which has about 10 I think. 

Well, so much of my bitterness about Richwell Sale.  I was just happy that I went otherwise to the Toy Kingdom Sale.  The items are whole lot better.  More options and are all in good condition.  Very much proper to give as gifts.  I was able to snag few nice items for the girls from Santa Clause.  I also got few pieces for nieces and nephews. 

Hannah Montana Bracelets with lights and Disney Princess Necklaces with lights too, From Php200, down to Php50.
    

Barbie Bags from Php279.75 down to Php100. Barbie pencil cases from Php129.75 down to Php65.00 (great gifts for classmates of Margaux)

Cute bags and a play ball, both from Php299.75 down to Php150.

Baby Tracy from Php1000+, down to Php350. RC Toy car from Php199.75 down to Php100

Game Boards from Php150, down to Php75. Winx Puzzle from Php199.75, down to Php100.

Disney Princess DIY Jewelry and Flip and Match Memory Game, both at Php250, Buy 1 Take 1.

And the most loved items I got for the girls…

Hannah Montana Dance Mat with DVD and wig from Php1,799.75 down to Php800 and Bratz Rock Guitar from Php2,799.75, down to Php1000

I think I really had great deals on the above items!

I can’t wait any longer for Thanksgiving Sale  My EQ was again low today I ended up buying just two cute shirts for the girls! Yes, just two.  I made sure I controlled the quantity although I could have wanted to get new jackets as well but good thing the ones I like don’t have sizes anymore!

And oh, thanks to Jane for letting me order and add to her shopping cart so I was able to save on shipping cost!

I got the girls the RL Short Sleeves Oxford Blouses…

For Margaux

For Bianca

I got a very nice dress from the store of Baby Fashionista in Eastwood Mall.  The size 4 fits perfectly for Bianca!

I love the mix colors of the fabrics and so as the plum colored ribbon attached to it.  

She’s our doll in the house! She wore this during her birthday party in school.

Went to the mall yesterday to buy last minute stuff to bring for our trip.  The husband didn’t buy the idea of buying luggages for the kids.  Instead, he allowed me to buy the Avent Tempo Disposable System.  Yes, Bianca in particular still drinks milk from the bottle.  Still not fully weaned.  And Margaux in some occasions like when sleeping do ask for milk as well from the bottle.  I guess the disposable system is a good deal since we would still be using it in other future trips.  Atleast, I just need to bring these and few nipps instead of lots of individual bottles. So I have more room for things I would shop!

Sinc we have moved to the new house, we are trying other malls closer to our location.  SM North Edsa and Trinoma has been those malls actually.  Now that Active Fun is already open in SM Annex North Edsa, we have reasons to go around that mall while we dropped the kids for some play. I’m pretty sure more kids would love playing and staying here because of this giant slide…

Gone are the days that my kids just want to stay in a play area where there were only a small space and little tikes stuff, instead they prefer more physical play and Active Fun is a good place for them to hang-out.

The rates are just right with a lot of things the kids can play.  

They also offer party packages. We particularly saw their set-up when we were there. I’m sure the kids guests would have a blast partying here.

For inquiries on holding a party, you may call them at 332-3929 and 215-9891.  Here are their party packages…

Will definitely go back to the place!

I must admit…I am so tempted to get the kids their luggages.  Since we have some upcoming international trips, I wonder if its worth it to get them their own.  

I got interested with these when I saw from Mrs T’s blog. (picture snagged from her). I’m just a little worried that it may not pass the test of being thrown in the plane. But Mrs. T said it her Kamiseta Luggage passed in flying colors.

Or should I just get the Trunki which would double as their ride-on suitcase.

Although I feel like its too small for their stuff. But anyway, I would just rather put their other stuff in our big luggages. I just find it cute that both of them would also have their own wheeled-thing when we travel. Don’t you think so? or would this just be an added stuff for us to think about? But since we are travelling to US as well, I would like to think that it could help if we would be moving from one state to another.  Ok, now I was given go signal by the husband to go purchase but I can’t decide.  Could you help me pick which one?

The kids have a growing number of books right now so I am thinking to get the above book storage from eRoomService. They have fine collections of modern furniture from living room, dining room, bedroom, even office and kids room. Mostly, they carry Italian designers in modern styles. I just prefer the book shelf to be in color pink though. Apparently, when I checked online, orange is the only available color. I asked the customer service and they replied that I might have to wait for another 2 weeks if the pink will arrive from their deliveries.  I would probably wait for that.

So this is where I stuck the kids whenever I need to work!

Yeah, it’s definitely the girls’ room!  But we should still get them nice Kids furniture which I have been drooling over spacify.com. Eventually we need to get them beautiful kids beds and even kids’ study tables. I have been a regular visitor of the site because I find their pieces so modern which would be ideal for the theme of the house. And oh, check out their beddings for kids. You would regret if you won’t get something like what they offer online! And oh, they even offer free shipping to most of their items!

I was so happy with these good buys I had last week in SM.  The girls wore it during Holy Thursday, very comfortable while we did our bisita iglesia.  

Super good buy since a pair was just less than Php500.  It was heaven finding cute and nice pieces like these.  I sometimes realize it is too overly expensive to get from Gingersnaps with shorts at Php800/piece!  (mas mahal pa sa mga shorts ko!)

Cute Sleeveless tops and matching checkered shorts…

and since the little girl has finished her first step level and now on summer break, I am shopping around for the best summer activity for her and also for Bianca.  I have been thinking to enroll her back for swimming class so she could take the next level after she took Bert Lozada My Baby and Me class last summer.  But I also want her to be in Hiphop dancing in Miriam CSC which would start on May.  The husband prefers this rather than the ballet class.  There are still a number of activities I would like them to try but let’s see as to where I would end up enrolling them.
