There are people who like to design their own tees like adding words, graphics or a personalize photo either in front or at the back of the shirt (or some both) that can capture people’s attention when they read it. It doesn't matter what you have printed on your tee, or what you look like as long as one has to work at being confident. I saw a young woman wearing a black t-shirt with a print on her shirt saying “I love my boyfriend” and she was with a young man at that time.
I am certain that the man was her boyfriend because they were walking holding hands inside the mall. Upon reading on the shirt of the young woman, I made a quick glance of the man beside her. The woman landed on a not so good-looking guy, but she is proud wearing her shirt with his boyfriend hand in hand. Anyway, if you want to
buy a birthday present for a woman or your girlfriend (okay, also your wife or mother, etc) as a way of being grateful for her or so, you can simply
find these gifts at Spencer’s. They are actually giving a discount for those who shops online. If you are looking for naughty gifts, tees and tanks, hats, and more. Name it and they have it. So, check it out for yourself for more gifts to find.
Good luck! She must be lucky to have you! :)
Every mom has their own experience on the first birthday of their child. Some have good memories, and unfortunately; some have not. But most moms as much as they could, wanted to have a memorable birthday celebration on the first birthday of their child most especially if it is their first one. Usually, it is the mother who has lots of ideas on making the 1st birthday party as the most joyful birthday celebration of their child.
Typically, if it is a child’s birthday, we usually have a theme. You can then find several beautiful and very eye-catching 1st birthday party decorations and supplies, great Disney Princesses designs and themes that are perfectly planned. Also one of the must-have is some kind of designed for boys like Sesame Street and Elmo desig and many more.
One of the stuffs that moms at look out is the prices, if it is reasonable enough. For most moms, 1st birthday is the most important event of a child’s life. Thus, if you have a child now that will celebrate his or her 1st birthday so soon, then look for the best place to shop for party theme, decorations and supplies. Good luck! :)
A wedding is one of the most significant milestones in a couple's life journey to be celebrated. While some couples would rather make the ceremony simple and exclusive only for immediate family and close friends, there are also those who prefer a grand and luxurious wedding event. This tradition of spending during weddings dates back to ancient times according to
Moissanite. Thus, a wedding, no matter how simple or grand it is, still the common factor between the two is money. It is for this reason that a wedding happens after a long time of preparation and saving except if the couple are heirs and heiress of massive wealth or they belong to affluent families.
Choosing the best
Mothers Day gifts
that you can give to your mom can be very overwhelming. This is because
you have to give something that is unique each year. Although giving
the same gift is not prohibited, it will show your thoughtlessness and
laziness in choosing the right gifts for her. Hence, you have to make
sure that the gift is unique, new, have a personal touch and will like
for a long period of time. One of the best gifts you can give is her
birthstone embedded in jewelry pieces.
Deciding the Birthstone
It
is very easy to decide the birthstone that you will give to your
mother. Most of the time, it is best to give the birthstone of the month
in which your mother was born. You can find a list of birthstones in
most jewelry shops that sell birthstone jewelry pieces. There are 12
birthstones representing each month of the year. Starting from January
to December, the birthstones are garnet, amethyst, aquamarine, diamond,
emerald, pearl, ruby, peridot, blue sapphire, opal, citrine and blue
topaz.
Deciding the Jewelry Setting
You can find numerous
options when it comes to jewelry setting of a stone. You will find that
pendants, rings and stud earrings made from silver or gold where you can
embed your chosen birthstone. There are various designs of pendant such
as family tree form, filigree, heart shape, beaded and many more. If
your mother likes to wear wrist gears, then you can also give her a
birthstone bracelet.
Another unique idea is to combine your
birthstone with your mom's birthstone. Moreover, you can also combine
all your sibling's birthstones in one jewelry piece in order to remind
her of her children every time she looks at the gift.
Reasons for choosing birthstone jewelry
There
are various reasons why it is best to give birthstone jewelry pieces as
Mothers Day gifts. Firstly, it is a unique idea to give such gifts that
are starting to become common in the past few years. Secondly, it
includes a lot of thoughtfulness and gives the gift a high sentimental
value. Moreover, it is proven the birthstones have their own
astronomical, scientific and medical benefits. Also, birthstone jewelry
is very affordable as compared to diamond jewelry, and it gives you a
wide range of designs. Furthermore, your mom is most likely to wear
birthstone jewelry on a daily basis as compared to a diamond necklace
that will come out of the closet rarely. Lastly, birthstones are very
colorful and beautiful on any outfit that your mom wears.
It is still Sunday. Though it is already night and soon enough this day gonna pass, I can only say it is still Easter Sunday. :-) What have you done lately folks? For sure, foods were served. Bonding with family and friends are one point in celebrating this special Sunday as we are commemorating Christ Jesus' rise. Yes, Jesus has risen! Hooray! And so I just want to say Happy Easter to everyone!
As to my end, I had a long night, sleepless night again. So I have to get my energy back by sleeping at day time and I have no regret about it though, I can only wish I did some food preparations and church visit. My plan was just going to one of the great restaurants in downtown. It is totally something but in the afternoon, my daughter who wears her lucky lamb outfit and I dressed-up went downtown and saw the beauty of our city. Okay, the place is just 10-15 minutes away from our house. And my friend buddy has a duty for this day. I end up going with my daughter. My daughter got a lot of compliments on her outfit (both offline and online friends and family circles especially in Facebook to which I posted the pictures first), thanks to
infant costumes that I stumbled upon. It got me in the right place. The catch was they also accepting review of any costume I choose. It is like, "okay, I am lucky this day" since I won't be able to shed any cents out of my pocket since they also shoulder the shipping! To me I am thinking I won't give any review if I don't like, I will just then return the product if something won't click on my end. But this is it! You bet, I like it! Nope, I love it! I thought at first the color is dark pink but I decided to give it a try since I like the style. And voila! The pink color isn't harsh at all (when I saw it in actual), it actually great for any skin color (I could just think). You know I am very much picky in colors. I make sure it fits to the skin color and such especially for my precious little one. She is an apple of my eye and I give everything I have for her. Now, there's an outlet for me to get her
more Anytime Costumes (not only for her but for me and her dad too, there are costumes for everyone) as I have to give my best that she's on her outfit whatever the occasion is. I believe a child should have every best thing to rekindle when they're already on their own. You know, when they can already understand and already on their own mind. I am a proud mom more when she's already big enough to appreciate life and events happened when she was still a little one. Isn't it great memories to think of? If not, then I don't know what you're thinking! Now is the time to show-off my beloved one and only precious daughter on her "Lucky Lamb" outfit through my mobile camera. (*click image/s to enlarge*)
Above is the Lucky Lamb in the House setting on her walker.
She was worried because she was given a fish instead of grasses.
The Lucky Lamb in the House is thinking she gotta find ideas on how to get her food rather than frowning, so instead, she's smiling (though momma wasn't able to capture her sweet smiles fronting *see pix below)!
The fat cheeks lucky lamb and momma went shopping to buy her milk, foods, ice cream and chocolates! Oh, her grasses (as she is a lamb on her outfit)? Ha! :-)
Happy Easter everyone! Smile. :-)
Today commemorates the day that the Lord has made, Lord the Son, that is. He has been made and destined to save us, humans, to free from our first sin which we inherited from our fore-parents Adam and Eve. This is in Roman Catholic Religion's practice, to which Catholics commemorates this date and being grateful of what He had done to us. God sacrificed Himself and gave his only Son. HE is amazing!
A mommy or not, we are oblige to commemorate HIS kindness. Everything God has done for us. So today we value His existence and yes, have our self-reflection. Have a great Holy Friday to all of you!
Hello mommies, daddies, aunts, grannies and everyone, do you commemorate Holy Week as part of your culture in church? In Church Calendar Cycle? How do you celebrate it? How do you like being part of it?
I don't know about you but Roman Catholics commemorate this time of their Church Calendar Cycle and it is one important event happened. To tell you what, this commemoration states the fact that Jesus suffered, died and was buried just to save us from our inherited sin from Adam and Eve. Then He rose again on the third day. This commemoration is unhappy memories but a good reflection once a year that human have to be grateful to HIM. And has to do great things to make Him happy as what we become is what our gift to Jesus. Since, this is important to most folks (either you are a Catholic believer or not), I would also take part especially the Easter Sunday event for my daughter. So I am preparing now her costume! Whew! This will be her first costume. :-) I am happy of looking forward to it! What could she be, a bunny or a lamb, perhaps? Make a guess!.. :-)

Moms, don’t let your mothering duties and endless home chores stop you from celebrating this romantic occasion. I bet you will find the time in between diaper changing and bottle-feeding to have a few hours alone with the husband and rekindle the romance to keep your relationship exciting and interesting, or just to remind each other why you chose him/her in the first place and why you end up married and with kids!
If you can ask your parents or your in-laws to look after the little one for a few hours while you and your man sneak out to town to watch a movie together or to have a romantic dinner together in one of your favorite restaurants (which you have not visited, by the way, since the baby arrived!). Or for a change, you might want to surprise your man with a bouquet of flowers delivered to his office. I bet he will be embarrassed but will be totally touched by your thoughtfulness, too! And who know, he might just end up buying you a dozen roses in your most favorite color, too!

I was given a new Kindle for Christmas, and I absolutely love it. I was never a big reader growing up, but as I reached adulthood, I started to read more. Over the last few years I have learned to love reading. I enjoy fiction and nonfiction. I know that the Kindle is not new, but before I was given one I was not very familiar with them. They are pretty cool gadgets. They store literally thousands of books, and they sink with your Amazon.com account to download books instantly. We have our internet through
clear Honolulu, and I simply get online and manage my Kindle account. The Kindle purchases books and the account automatically updates online. I have already downloaded three books that I have been meaning to read. The Kindle is so amazing because it reads just like a book. Those of you who have one know what I am talking about. The screen does not look like a computer screen but a book. I feel like I am reading a book instead of reading off of a computer screen. This is one of the coolest, most useful Christmas gifts I have ever received.
Today commemorates the day of Martin Luther King, Jr., one prominent person in the history. This is the day the people of United States of America remembers what he has done and will be remembered through and through. When someone does/did/do something for the good of the many, one must just deserve of being famous and be remembered. This day just show how a humble act toward mankind has to gain worth.
On the other hand, mommies must be busy today doing some cooking or preparing the table for family gathering since it is holiday. Have a great bonding guys! Once again, happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! Have fun and enjoy responsibly. :-)
I know, it already passed the countdown for the welcome of year 2012. Yeah, right, it is already year twenty-twelve. Let's welcome it with positive vibes and goodbye and bad thoughts along with negative happenings in the previous year (or rather years *wink*). Life is precious! Let's journey it with smile and strong convection of what life is really is. Never be afraid and ignore the negative vibes. So let's hand in hand the positive attitude and view life as giving and sharing, mutual interest, that is. What could be better than that? Perhaps that also what's on your mind now. Great! There are now many aims and does the start, let's begin (or rather continue the good ways)! Happy New and Prosperous New Year mommies, mommies-to-be, daddies and all!
There are couple of reasons why one like to start online shopping as soon as the New Year celebration frenzy died down, including: (1) buying new stuffs for the little one, (2) buying new stuff for the house to welcome the New Year and (3) some cash to spare to fund this worthwhile activity.
Buying online can be quite a risky venture if you do not know the ins and outs of how this alternative way of shopping goes about. For starters, I am doing a bit of reading on
nomorerack reviews online just so I can get a clear grasp of how these things work and browsing at
nomorerack deals at the same time to take note of items I’d like to purchase once am done doing with my reading. There are a lot of ways and means actually on how to do such but for now, that's what my mind dictates. Am not so much fond of shopping but it is a must especially when we already a mom aside from being a homemaker. Happy New Year everyone!
If you want to personally pick the kind of flowers that you will give, then you can visit your favorite
flower shop and choose among the variety of flowers that are available. You can even talk to the florist and discuss your preferred flower arrangement. If, however, you are looking for a more convenient way of giving fresh flowers to your loved ones, visiting online flower shops would be the best option. They offer the same services that commercial flower shops offer. Most of them also
deliver flowers for free. With the variety of flowers that they offer, you will surely find the ones that will best express what you feel.
Fresh flowers can also add beauty to any room. There are some
additives for cut flowers that you can use to extend the viability of flowers. Your room would surely smell good and appear more beautiful with the presence of fresh flowers.
What is great about giving flowers as gift is that you can give them on any occasion. And nothing can make a woman feel special than by giving them a bouquet of flowers not just during important occasions but most importantly even during ordinary days. So if there’s an important occasion coming up like birthdays or anniversaries, giving fresh flowers would be an excellent choice.
Of course, being a new mom and all, I was rather excited to make my very first Christmas shopping for the little one. I would probably get as much pink stuff I can get my hands into for my little princess. But more than the material things, what I really want for Christmas is to make it memorable for the little one as this will be her very first. I will make sure to document it as much as I can so she will remember her very first Christmas celebration through the detailed photographs. I will create a new family tradition that we will be doing every year until the little girl is 15 or even 30. That will make the journey's most wonderful time of the year's celebration more meaningful and something she will always look forward to with much anticipation. Oh, well, it couldn’t help if I can receive some little gifts from Santa, too, this new mom will be delighted to open some presents on Christmas, too, right?
Yep, mommies/mommies-to-be in USA and beyond (all those who celebrate Thanksgiving Day as the day in USA), how's your celebration? I bet you guys had a lot of fun, foods especially turkeys, pumpkin pies and alike! Great! It's one celebration of the year to celebrate the gratefulness of harvest, for having family and friends, having work, and anything in between.
Now, it's time to countdown for Christmas! How's your counting going? Isn't it exciting that Christmas is just around the corner? Some godparents have to hide from now on since it's time for gift-giving to their godchildren! Whew! *wink* Anyway, it's really cool just by thinking it's already Christmas soon. No other holiday before it to look forward to but Christmas. It's time to stand the Christmas and decors! Have fun in the journey (but don't forget your kiddos, you have to attend him/her/them first! :-D)!
Christmas is fast approaching.
It is the time to order new headphone for my husband. Last night I saw it falls into pieces. It’s a five year old headphone and he always keeping it and using it everyday. He is a music lover, so as my advance Christmas gift to him I am currently looking for
over the ear headphones . I am pretty sure he will be happy. I always told him to buy a new one before but he always kept saying that it is still working. So maybe he don’t want to spend money for that. So better I will buy one for him. I feel pity for my partner. LOL!
Well, I found one and goodness it’s perfect! This is almost the same as what he is using now. So my budget for $100 is more than enough buying one for him. So glad that I can order right away without any hassle, unlike of falling in line at traditional store. So for my dear one, soon you will have a new headphone. Just wait a bit and you will be surprise.
A few more days and we will be celebrating Halloween, have you got scary costumes ready for your little ones? Are you one of those moms who keep your hands busy decorating orange cupcakes with monsters and other scary creatures, so you will have something creative and unique for Trick or Treats? Or, do you go out to marvel at huge pumpkin patches and watch the festive smashing of this orange veggie in season? Whatever you plan to celebrate the occasion, what matters most is you make lasting memories of you and your little tot which you can look back a few years from now. So, just enjoy and don’t forget to take all those fun and beautiful photographs, right? Go and again, enjoy it!
Now that Christmas is just around the corner, I am browsing some online shops for possible gift ideas for my little one. Sure she is barely several months old, but that is not enough reason for her not to receive treats come Christmas day, right? So I am thinking more about stuffs and things she might enjoy even in her very tender age. A binky, perhaps, or a chew toy seems a perfect item, since her first tooth might be erupting several months from now. I am also considering getting her a Leapfrog table which she can use in a few months when she has finally learned how to use her little digits. And a colorful and sound toys for her to enjoy for this current time.
What about you, what do you plan to give your little one or child(ren)? Anyway, Merry Christmas in advance! Do I sound greets you in a very advance? Oops! Before I forget Happy Halloween before that!
Christmas is just around the corner and as early as now, people, especially busy and pre-occupied moms like me, are looking for fresh ideas on what to give our loved ones and friends on the most important holiday of all {at least to my opinion} and here are a few things that are on my list:
1. Educational toys for little children.
2. Personalized gift items such as
christmas mugs and Christmas cards will be a great hit, as always.
3. Something that the receiver can use over and over will also prove to be most ideal. I thought of reusable shopping bags for mommy friends or an apron for the cooking enthusiasts.
4. I am also thinking of burning episodes of my friends’ favorite soap opera in CD's of her favorite colors, instead of buying the expensive and impersonal ones found in stores. That way gift-giving becomes more personal and it need not burn a hole in my pocket.
