I love spending time in our garden. It find it very relaxing to look at the flowers in bloom and occasional sight of butterflies fluttering by. My family often enjoys our snacks in our lanai in the garden. I think it would be wonderful to have a hammock chair where I could read my favorite book, chat with my husband or watch our son play.

I’m not tagging anyone but please feel fee to do this meme. Let me know when you do.
Ever since rainy season started, I always make it a point to put a cap and a raincoat inside my son’s bag. Sometimes the weather can be so deceiving. You could wake up to a promising day with bright sunshine and blue skies only to have a great downpour in the afternoon. I want my son to be prepared just in the case it rains and he’s still in school.

My CC post is a bit delayed but as they say it’s better late than never. These photos are courtesy of my SIL Chona. She took these photos when she went to a butterfly farm in Palawan.
I’ve never been to a butterfly farm like this one. I would love to take my son to a butterfly farm and teach him about the amazing metamorphosis that a butterfly goes through.

Caterpillars inside their chrysalis.

A beautiful butterfly.
If you see a butterfly coming out of its chrysalis or a moth emerging from a cocoon, please don’t try to help it. You might do more harm than good. The wings of the butterfly or moth are very fragile. Damaging their wings will lose their chance to live their lives to the fullest.

Q: “If you are to start a new blog focusing mainly on a particular topic or niche, what would your niche blogging be all about? “ - Greenbucks
A: I’ve always wanted to have a photo blog. I would like to learn more about photography and share it on my blog. I have a point and shoot digital camera but I would love to have a nice Nikon SLR or something similar.
When my husband and I moved to our new home, we brought along old furniture pieces from our respective homes. His mom gave him a lovely antique narra bed and I brought with me our old round wooden dining table. We’ve been living in our house for eight years. I’ve been contemplating of doing some changes. I would like to look at some discount furniture to find a new dining table set. I’m tired of our old one and I think our home is in need of a nice change.
One of the essential things when moving to a new house is packing your things. Packing is not an easy task. You have to make sure you that everything is accounted for. Use quality moving boxes to protect your things during the move. Avoid forgetting or misplacing something important by making a list of all the things that you pack. Label each box accordingly.

Collecting Shells

My family headed to the beach last weekend for a much needed rest and relaxation. Despite the unsure weather conditions, we decided to push through with the trip. We were really hoping for good weather. Even my son kept praying for the sun to shine. We were not disappointed because the weather was wonderful last weekend. It was perfect for frolicking in the beach, swimming and snorkeling. My son had a fantastic time playing in the sand. He enjoyed making sandcastles, collecting shells and playing in the water.
We stayed in a 2-bedroom air conditioned place near the beach. It has a private bathroom, small veranda, small kitchen and refrigerator. I did not mind that there was no cable TV but I was longing for one thing. I wanted a nice bathroom with a bathtub. After spending the day at the beach, it would have been nice to soak in the bathtub. How I wish all beach resorts had free standing bathtubs. I find them very elegant.
We don’t have a bathtub at home that’s why I always look forward to a nice soak in the bathtub when I’m on vacation in a hotel or resort. Many hotel rooms nowadays have standard bathtubs where guests can relax in a soothing bubble bath. It’s a great way to relieve the body of stress. A long soak in the bathtub can calm the senses. A long soak in warm water is ideal for relieving the body of common muscle aches and pains.
I love going to a bathtubs store. I like seeing beautiful displays of bathtubs in showrooms. Seeing those lovely fixtures makes me yearn for my own bathtub at home. Sadly the design of our bathrooms does not allow space for bathroom provisions. There are many beautiful types of bathtubs. I saw the impressive design of discount walk in bathtubs.
