The Shopaholic In Me

Before I even buy my cutting tools for our kitchen, i need to prepare for all items needed by my girls for the start of the school! Tomorrow is back to school’s first day. I am one excited mommy especially that Margaux is already an upcoming grade 1. I now have an official grade schooler. On the other hand, excited also for Bianca’s nursery class. But I am also anxious of all items that I need to prepare like sticker labels, bag tags, supplies, etc. There are just so many things to think about. I hope to finish all my errands today.

The husband and I have been in a lot of talks lately regarding investments and insurance benefits. We would like to as much as possible secure already the future of the kids and our retirement plan. I have been talking to two agents already since last week about availing another mutual fund and increasing our insurance policies with an inclusion already of a social security disability benefit. It is something significant to both of us and we would like to finalize it really soon.

Our birthday gift for Margaux is a new bike.  She has been wanting to get a bigger once since she can already bike without the 2-wheel support at the back.  Her old one is also too small for her already. Now, she and her dad can bike together in the morning.  It could be a good way for the husband to exercise as well. We are even thinking to get those hitch bike racks so that they can even bring their bicycle whenever we would go for a quick out-of-town trip.

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.

The kids didn’t get new textbooks from us. Instead, the husband got them a garden playset.

They love it. They enjoy playing with it every afternoon. But good thing some gave them other toys too and some even includes books. Their play room needs a lot of cleaning as well.  There are just so many toys which have piled up around it.  I need some time to sort it out even their clothes.

I am still not done with my christmas shopping. I think I need to allot few more days to actually finish everything. I am loosing some ideas on what to give to teenage nephews. Any suggestions? I saw some nice jackets from Jimmy Jazz. I wonder if my nephews would actually like those coogi clothing but they are just so cute. In fact, they offer great discounts and even guarantees that items would be shipped before christmas. I particularly love their men’s outwears. Saw something that my husband would even like.

We went to the home depot yesterday to check out some easy-install racks for the kids’ room. We were also looking for stair rods as my mom wants to replace the one in their house. But we weren’t lucky to find what we were looking for so the kids asked us to bring them instead to a kid’s store nearby. The eldest didn’t want to leave the store without bringing home this.

This is their latest craze after seeing one in TV. Glad she also got something bigger like this for her twitter kids exchange gift.

(that is tomorrow) because of this…

I would be there from opening hour. It’s my 2nd DK’s birthday tomorrow too so that’s where I would also get her birthday present. Would be getting gifts for the exchange gifts we have on Sunday and of course, I’m ready with my list for Christmas. I hope they have nice stuff and that they have really slashed off in prices.

I am still convincing the girls to wear Cherry Bombs for their trick or treat costumes but the “ate” insists to become a princess. So I went to the mall today to check out some princess costumes and was just frustrated that they don’t have available sizes anymore. The girls won’t be happy with that news for sure. I was already cramming I tell you. Wonder where I could get nice costumes at this time. But I still asked my friend to make one for them. I went home empty-handed and just got myself an acne treatment from a promo booth since there were pimples which grew on my forehead already probably because of stressing too much on what the girls would wear on their activity this coming weekend.

The little girl tried ice skating in SM MOA last sunday. Sorry for my crappy pictures. I took it using my phone’s camera from afar.

We hired a someone to teach her for an hour and she liked it. In fact, she was even saying that she wanted to do it regurlary. Oh, would this be her sports? lol! I am actually considering but MOA is just so far from us so I am hesitant. Not only that I am worried about freak accidents she could get from it. She’s too young for such and she even doesn’t have a social security disability benefit, you know! But it could really be a good sports for her. Well, it’s the husband to finally approve on it. Will probably go back to see if she could really catch up on the training.

Saw the above little play kitchen in Ikea in Windsor House in Hong Kong. It’s so cute. I almost bought it as I thought it would be perfect for the little girls play room. There was even like a play electric fireplace insert which could partner with the above for the mini living room area that they have there as well. But it would really be a problem to bring those home. I thought of course of shipping it instead but I’ll rather not get the hassle so I didn’t buy.  Instead got few ikea boxes, just about two, round place mats and ice cubes shaper.  I love Ikea!

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?
