Summer is here!

Not lying – summer is here and it’s only March in Toronto! We are having such beautiful weather but I’m indoor most of the time with the little munchkin. It’s alright – we only go out during the weekend when hubby is home. I’m getting quite bored though – missed the freedom of just going anywhere and doing anything. But I’m still enjoying motherhood though! Summer is here and we are thinking of investing in a firepit table this year – so we can enjoy outdoors more. Haven’t decided which one to get yet though – this one looks pretty nice eh?

Stay at Home Mom

Yeppers – that’s my new title “Stay At Home Mom” – that’s my job too. Before the little one arrived – I thought my schedule would be crazy because of taking care of him. But honestly – I feel like I’m more free now because I can’t just go out alone anymore. I have to say – being a mom is such a joy – he’s been one easy baby to take care of and no fussing at all. To be honest – I’m getting quite bored at home – so I’ve been doing a lot of readings and researches online. Read a lot of interesting things on the net – click here to read testosterone booster reviews – this is some interesting facts and information. Yep – that’s what I’ve been doing – educating myself. When this little munchkin knows how to walk and crawl – I’m in more trouble because I gotta keep my eyes on him 24/7 – so that’s why I’m enjoying myself more now!

A Present for the Husband

When it comes down to giving something special to my husband – that’s the toughest part because he’s one picky man and it’s hard to shop for him. Unless it’s things he can wear at home. Funny huh? No joke – he likes to go shopping on his own and pick his outfits. While some men don’t care what they wear or what their partner gets them. I mean – there’s goods and bad. The goods is – I don’t need to worry about dressing him and the bad is – I can’t just buy him anything. Tough huh? Well – Valentine’s day was over awhile ago and I still haven’t gotten him a gift. I was going to buy him Raptors tickets to go watch with his brother but since the little one arrived early – I gotta think about another gift. I’ve been looking online lately and thought it would be a great idea to get him Nolan N43 – he’s been eying them for quite sometime now – I should surprise him eh?

Swimming Pool in our backyard?

Although I don’t know how to swim but I certainly don’t mind having a swimming pool like this in my future home backyard! While my husband disagrees because there is a lot of expenses having a swimming pool. Especially with the little one too – we would need to install pool safety net too. So I guess he’s right about the expense part but don’t forget about the safety part too. When the little munchkin is old enough – I’m for sure sending him to swimming lessons.

Working from home

It’s been almost two years that I’ve been working from home – well I had a part time job along the way but never given up on what I did online because I feel like it’s a great opportunity to make money while being at home. These opportunities don’t come too often and I just don’t want to lose it. It’s like extra side pocket money to pay off bills and groceries in the future. Some says – it’s a lot of work but for me – if you work ahead of your schedule and plan ahead – it’s really not too much work. I’m starting to have web conferencing service and private advertisers contacting me. It gives me that exciting feeling knowing that there’s more in store for me. My plan is just to work harder towards my goal – so hopefully one day I make enough to stay home full time with my kid and not worry about finances. It feels great to feel independent and not needing to ask the husband for money. Do you call that women pride?

Looking for homes in Markham, Ontario

We’re not planning to buy a home anytime soon because that’s just not our plans right now but that doesn’t stop us from checking out homes around our area. We’ve been checking out Open houses and Independent living communities around here. I would like to stay in Markham because of the convenience but the husband doesn’t mind living a little bit up North. I’m just not so keen about that idea – I mean – it’s a good idea because it’s affordable and we can have a bigger piece of land. But living up North is pretty inconvenient when you need to see families and friends. I hope within these years – the house market will go down – than we don’t need to move that far. I want my families and friends close by.

Toys for Kids

What a spoil little brat already eh? He’s already been receiving toys while inside my stomach. I’m not a huge fan of buying kids toys because who cleans them up afterwards? Nope – course not the little man. ME! I will be the one cleaning it up after he’s done playing with it. When he understands things – I’m going to train him how to clean his own toys up or else he can’t play with it. He’s been receiving a lot of toys – I think when he grows out of toys – I’m going to have to buy a yard sign to have a yard sale or probably donate it to a charity of some sort.

Birthday Roses for Stepmother

Didn’t know what to get my stepmother for her birthday – so Hub and I went out to get her two dozens of roses. She always says she doesn’t receive flowers for special occasions. Well – I do get her flowers for Mother’s Day but I guess I should start getting her flowers for her birthday too? Every women deserves pretty flowers right? Since I got my stepmother flowers for her birthday – my stepsister asked me where’s her birthday present? I know she wanted a new guitar – so I told her to find some easy songs for guitar to practice for now. Guitars these days ain’t cheap – I’m going to make her earn it first. What an evil stepsister I am eh?

Planning a kids future

As I’m counting down each day for his arrival – I’m really counting down for a lifetime commitment. Having a kid is a lifetime commitment – even if they’re in their 20s – 30s – 40s you constantly worry about them. It’s just part of being parenthood right? I didn’t understand this when I was a teen but since being pregnant for 8 months – I’ve realized a lot. A lot – so much of what parents are worried about. Parenthood doesn’t stop when they graduate, when they get a full time job nor does it stop when they are married. Being a parent is a life time thing – it never ends.

We’ve been planning a lot of things for this little one. Being a mom – I never had the things his father had. I want this little one to appreciate what was given to him and live a happy and normal life with lots of love and care from the both of us. When I plan – I plan far far ahead. It’s just very satisfying to me to know what is up ahead in life for all of us. I don’t like the “unknown”.

As of now – were holding off on the music part of his life. I don’t want to push this little one into doing something he doesn’t enjoy or like. We do have a list of instruments in mind though – piano, takamine, violin, flute, and etc. But this is all up to him. I just believe that if I push a kid into doing something he doesn’t want or enjoy – he’s just wasting your money. Like my husband – he was asked to learn piano when he was a kid but he didn’t enjoy it. Piano lessons ain’t cheap these days eh! So when he’s old enough to know what he likes – he will eventually tell us.

Winnie the Pooh theme for Nurseries/Baby Room

I feel like I’m one picky-annoying woman when it comes down to colors and themes. I wonder if other people are like me – so far non of my friends are like that. Maybe I’ll discover someone just like me later on in life eh? *haha* Anyways – the little man’s room is almost complete except the diaper/changer table. It took us a month to finally get everything together – there’s so much into a complete baby room. Been going to Babies R Us every week but the good thing about it is – when you order some of the stuff online – they have free shipping. So yep – I’ve been getting packages delivered to me every week now. I feel like online shopping is more exciting then purchasing the items in store. It’s just that feeling. That reminds me that I need to place an order of enzo angiolini shoes online as a gift. Shopping online can make life so much easier instead of running around looking for it.

Everything is well-organized and prepared for the little one. I just need to open the boxes up and figure out how to use the sterilizer, bottle warmer, and breast bump soon. So I don’t have to know everything last minute. That reminds me – I gotta pack my hospital bag soon. Not only my stuff but with Hubby’s stuff too since we upgraded our hospital room to a private room – he can stay over night with us.

To be honest – he’s much more excited to meet his little son than I am. I’m just more fearing about the pain right now. I cannot imagine how painful it is! Well – I watched it on TV and everything. I have a feeling that I’ll be screaming like a witch! YES – WITCH! So it’s best not to have people I know around when I’m giving labor. *hahahha*
