STONECPS

Partly, 2010 has been a very great year for us. Things would have been perfect with the arrival of our dear Jacobo but then we are deeply saddened by the passing away of my husband’s mom.

But we know that God has a reason for everything and there are still a lot of things to be thankful for 2010:

• I have a very responsible and caring husband who always put his family at the top of his priority.
• I have my B and Jacobo who is our source of joy, happiness and inspiration.
• I have my loving and supportive family who is always there by our side to support us. And most especially my mom, who tirelessly takes care of Jacobo while I and my husband goes to work. (That is why I am constantly teasing her that she can easily get jobs in health care industry as she takes care of Jacobo, my B and my brother’s daughter with no sweat).
• I have a job that helps us pay the bills and allow us to enjoy life with travel, shopping, etc.
• I have great friends, online and offline, who is always there for me all the time as my sounding board, my shopping buddies, my chat mates, my support system, etc.
• Good health for my whole family.
• My new bags that I added to my collection. LOL.
• Extra work that I allow my family to splurge a bit.

I know this list will be endless. I am happy and thankful for all the blessings that we received for this year and we hope that we will have the same kind of happiness, love, and success for 2011.

Happy New Year!!

Last Monday, we went to Greenhills as hubby needs to look from the toy store there as he is looking for the last piece that will complete his toy collection. Since it is still a holiday, the mall is still very crowded that as soon as hubby is done with his shopping, we left the mall even if we wanted to have snacks first as we are all very hungry. So we just used the Mc Donalds Drive Thru to order for food and we just ate in the car.

Jacobo saw us eating and he started to grab our food and so I gave him one small piece of French fries. But to my surprise, he started coughing and I thought that he is choking that I passed him to hubby and I quickly panic (No wonder I can’t be in the medical field and draw blood and push poc carts as I am really bad when dealing with an emergency situations).

Thankfully, Jacobo is just okay and he just needs to spit out the milk that he consumed (and this is normal for him). But I swear, I will never ever give him a bite of my French fries again as it almost killed me in fear when I saw him like that. LOL.

2011 will be a very challenging year for my family as we will start paying our housing loan for the new property that we purchase by mid of the year. I have been doing some computations and it looks like my husband and I will really have to work overtime if we want to make both ends meet.

We know that this will be a great challenge for us but I know that with hard work, we know that our family can make it. One of my plans to help my husband pay our loan is by doing extra work. I have been searching the net and maybe it was destiny that led me to the site of Beads and Findings, an online bead store.

I love shopping online and so it gave me an idea to make jewelries made from glass beads and I can sell it online. I checked the site of Beads and Findings and saw the different creations made by their customers and so it gave me inspirations on the different products that I can make for my online store. I am not just limited to making jewelries but I can also make pouches, bags, cell phone holder, and many more by just using the high quality and very beautiful loose beads of Beads and Findings.

So wish me luck and hope that this business will be successful so I can help my husband pay for our loan for our dream house.

My husband will be attending the baptism of the daughter of one of his colleagues and of course, I am the one who should look for child baptism gifts.

Well you know men (well at least for my husband), they are really not good with shopping and so I would rather do it myself or else he might just buy NBA or NFL action figure or Manny Pacquiao souvenir for the baby. LOL.

Just look at this cute gift ideas that I found:

They are so cute that I am planning to get one for Jacobo too.
