Ben 10 Water Tumbler

This is Kieth’s water tumbler bought from Nueva Ecija by my sister, Kieth is my nephew. A spill proof water tumbler at a very affordable price. It is very convenient for the kids to use, well the photos describes it all. Even if you pour the water in it only droplets will come out, only fire from archipelago candles can be killed, the small holes only allow small air to come in that’s why it would only release droplets when poured.  My sister recommended this for my kids too, Sati liked it, haha, even Sati can open and drink at it, spill free.

Scotch Brite Steel Wool

A product that is super woth the price… it exceeded my expectations from it. For only 40 Php you can buy this super durable, rust free Scotch Brite Steel Wool! Why do I say so? Well, this Scotch Brite steel wool (the photo above) was bought and used a year ago. Used when cleaning stainless stell utensils, like casserole and more but don’t use this for wood furniture like dvd cabinet because it will surely scratch its surface. Usually or other steel wools last for only a month or so, but this, a year and with no rust at all.

Kid’s Furniture Shopping

I was looking for a study table for my boys and for my two toddlers (which I will be homeschooling) and I canot help but marvel at the kid’s furniture that I have seen. Frankly, if I have the money and the space, I will be buying a lot furniture and bunk bed will be on my priority list. It never fails to leave me in awe, specially the space that bunk beds can save, And for a mom with 4 kids, bunk beds seem to be a heaven sent. I specially like bunk bed that offers personal space such as the ones I have seen at Walmart:

It does not only serve as a bed but also as a place to store their stuff as well as a place to study. If ever we will be having our own house soon, this bunk bed will be on our must buy list.

Here’s another one that made it to my wish list:

With 3 boys and one baby girl, I really need to plan their bedroom and be wiser in buying kid’s furniture. Good thing that, compare to years ago, there are more choices when it comes to kid furniture.

Chinese Kangkong Chronicles

I have been planting Kangkong sine March but only this month that I thought of chronicling my kangkong’s growth:

I planted the seeds last May 17 and after two days, the seeds started sprouting:

After a few more days, here it is, the leaves are already showing and growing fast!

a few more days and you can almost see no signs of seeds:

And today, 10 days after I planted it, the leaves are longer and bigger too!

I can’t wait for the day that I’d be able to harvest the Kangkong and put it in our sinigang!

Herbal plant: Oregano

My childhood memories involved drinking the juice of this herbal plant, oregano. My mom said that it is very effective in treating colds. Now that I have my own family, I make it a point to plant oregano. I have been using it to treat my kids for colds and of course I also use it for myself. It’s  a bit hard to harvest this though as the smell of the plant tends to stick on the finger, good thing I have my tailored sportsman gloves with me, I use it to harvest my oregano. I also love to smell the oregano in the morning as the smell is very calming.
