Eco Friendly Notebooks

It is good that more an d more people and companies are being aware of our ecological crisis and I was delighted to know that paper manufacturing companies are now using recycled paper as a help to lessen our waste products.

Here is an example of those notebooks, though they are still using plastic to cover it up at least they used recycled paper and turned it into a nice notebook. I saw this at National Bookstore, I think these kind of notebooks are ideally for gift giving because of the packaging. I I would receive something like this I would definitely appreciate it. The pages of the notebooks are blank so you can do anything you like with it, a diary, a sketch pad or even an addition to your collection if you have any.

Caterpillars

For a home like mine who has a lot of plants, caterpillars are unavoidable. Basically they live by eating leaves and it balances our nature through pollination process. The thing is when a caterpillar’s hair touched your skin it will be irritated that will lead to severe itchiness. Last year, my sissy saw a caterpillar and she called me while I’m making electronic payments for my online purchases. She also took a picture of it and posted it into her blog. Now that caterpillars are around us I warned my kids about them and the I explained the consequence if a caterpillar touches their skin.

The Joy Of Harvesting

As my plants grow and begin to yield I am filled with joy. Each fruit I harvest gives me an exceptional feeling, the happiness and joy every harvest brings is unique. A fulfilling moment as I see every fruit it yields… I am so happy to finally see my red chili pepper plant yielded and while harvesting I saw a kid in his knee scooter thinking I won’t let my kid do that for now. But that won’t disappoint me, I continued my harvesting. I will post that soon.

Appliances For House Makers (and a Fairy visit)

It was never easy to be a full time mother and a house manager.

That was what I said to fairy Hobmother when he visited this blog. He, the fairy is a HE, mentioned that I should check out his fairy overloads at Appliances Online and see what a house manager like me can buy to ease my chores. And before he leave, he gave something that I can use to purchase the much needed appliance.

Now that makes me think, what are the must have appliance of every mommy?

My top three would be the following, based on my experience:

Refrigerator for food storage.

Dishwasher for easy washing of dirty dishes, which by the way is my least favorite household chore. 

Washing Machine (automatic please) for easy and fast laundry. 

I really think every household should have a dishwasher, because I don’t and as I mentioned I never really liked doing it, so if we have a dishwasher, my life would be easier.

Now, going back to Fairy Hobmother, most of you may wonder, who is this fairy that is a HE?

Fairy Hobmother, you can find at Twitter (go follow Fairy Hobmother) is a fairy who has been on different blogs lately.  alot of friends said so many good things about him and in fact I have been maintaining this home sparkling clean in case he paid me a visit. And yes he did! It was such a very nice visit and he mentioned that if you will leave a comment in this blog, he might visit yours too!

Please tell me, what do you think is the top 3 appliances a house maker should have?

Calamansi Seedlings

Calamansi is a fruit tree that is native to the Philippines. The fruit is round and small, it is color green and turns yellow when ripe. The fruit is usually used for dipping. The taste of the fruit is acidic.

Calamansi, I discovered is not really easy to cultivate. It takes time before it grows. In fact the photo above was a month old calamansi seedling (or older) and as you can see, the seedling is hasn’t grown any bigger yet.

I think I will have to graft it when it grows so it will bear fruit sooner.
