Summer … Bugs Birthday and Bubbles


Tomorrow is the beginning of June, which means to me the beginning of the B words. Yes BBQ, Beach and Blazing sunshine… but for me my birthday falls in June, my son’s birthday is in July and my husband’s birthday is in August. So basically it is one after another. (Oh were the moneys goes!!!)

Then there are the bugs. If you have air-condition and bug screens on the doors and walls you might be save. But the heat usually brings on the bugs. And the bugs usually means either you are covering every exposed part of your body with insect repellant or you are hiding indoors to get away from the annoying bites. With kids you are even more paranoid.

Finally the bubbles. The bubbles from the sparking wine you might think? The bubbles from the scented bubble bath with romantic lit candles??? Nope. I am talking about the numerous amounts of kids’ bubbles solution I have to purchase to keep the kids entertained. Its bubble blowing every afternoon and sometimes in the morning too.

Anyway… it’s all going to be great fun and good times. Hope you started your summer plans and To-do list… do not let it creep up on you unprepared. You might get bit! 

This is my buddy when he was 5 years old.. you can't smell it but he was cover in sunblock and bug repellant. It din't spoil his fun!  :)

    Ah summer! You have to take the bad with the good. I don't love bugs or sunburns, but I do enjoy the more relaxed pace of life. I'm following you back on GFC, and really enjoying what I've read so far!

    I know I can hardly believe it's already here! JUNE, it feels like just yesterday it was Easter. The time flies this time of year for me every year and just like you say, I sometimes can be caught unprepared. But not this year. We still have 3 more weeks of school here too, so I have lil more time to prepare for the fun times. Your lil guy is so cute!

    Stopping by from the TGIF Blog Hop! I hear you on the bugs and bubbles! We've already gotten a few bug bites this year. And my kids love bubbles too! I buy the large bubble container and then refill the small ones when they're empty, especially since my youngest tends to spill a lot. Can't wait to read more of your blog!

WW ... Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2

I went .... I saw .... I conquered :) Monday Evening: "Honey can you watch the kids tonight ... there is something VERY important I have to do?" "Sure Jill but what is it??" "You don't worry about that .... I will just be home around 7pm tonight!" It was FANTASTIC ... and the perfect end. Stephanie Meyer did an excellent job producing it. I will love this movie....

Guardian Angel working Overtime!!

Saturday morning this occurred while I was on my way with the kids to my family's home in San Fernando. My car is the Blue Madza and my kids were in the back seat!! I had just stopped at a traffic light with 4 cars ahead of me, waiting for the lights to turn green, when the Green car smashed into me from behind.  All I can say is that we were all frightened by a loud bang from behind, and just as I turned my head to look at my kids in the back, I saw my car skidding on the wet road heading towards the car infront of me. There was no stopping and unfortunately my car struck the car infront of me :( From that point on there was alot of screaming from the kid behind, me trying to calm them, and me trying to get my husband on the phone. Even today I still cannot believe it happened. Clearly the woman who struck me from behind did not see me stopping along with the other cars, clearly she was distracted doing something else than focusing on the road. ...

Do's and Don't for 2013

For the new year I have come up with a plan to try and make my life less complicated. I want to make the best decisions possible for me and my family. I also have to make sure and stand my ground and not let others take advantage of me. You see I am one of those people who try to help others and as time goes by I realize I am the one doing all the work and the other party doing nothing. This over time become a burden to me. Because in life I really believe people get what they deserve and they also have to earn respect and make the effort to help. If the other party is not doing anything, then I think I am going to get off this one way street... FAST!! As for making the right decisions, both financial and personal, it has to benefit both me and my family. I am no longer going to throw caution to the wind. I am going to set a budget to provide financial stability (i.e. not give money away to the hairdresser who did not do a good job... and buy toys from stores that are over priced!!...
