You have a taste for antiques my friend. I don’t.

Even with the designs of houses, I am not into the antique ones. I like the contemporary ones with minimalist touch, so the house will have the illusion of being spacious.

I don’t like furniture that are darkly colored mostly brown as antiques are. I like furniture that have colors that makes the house appear bright and spacious.

But good thing I don’t have a taste for antiques because they are expensive. he he he

Dear @Dina, thanks for reading and commenting my blog. I love to have you here.
I believe you going to cash out this month end too, right? Glad to seeing it happened to you and me.
The reason why I love those old stuffs, first, I think it is a waste if just throw them away or into the dustbin. It is not environment friendly, and wasted of the limited resources we have on the earth, right?
It just a choice of lifestyle, yeah, I go for postmodern style too sometimes, it depends. You are right, we are all try to be minimalist touch, but having said that, I think my house is a bit messy with some old books stuck in my book shelves recently, sigh!
Again, you are right again, I think my hunted goods are not antique too, as I am not affordable, I just shopped and hunted for old and unwanted goods of other, I guess. Haha!

I love antiques or second hand finds. I visit the flea market once a week usually.

I love second hand hunting someone’s trash is someone’s treasure goodwill stores are a great source of second hand treasures. I’ve got a friend that was remodeling her kitchen she wanted a unique island and found a second dresser made of cherry she sanded down restrained and put a granite top on now it is the showpiece of her kitchen. Yard sales are great spots for hunters as well. Nothing like finding a nice piece taking it home and making it into a great piece of furniture.

Reading to a very small child is a wonderful experience not only for the child but for yourself it helps the child develop a wonderful love of reading and they carry that with them always in turn when they have children they begin to read to thier children and carry on a wonderful tradition, my sister recently became a grandmother and she began reading to her grandson while he was a baby , he now loves books and reads to his younger sister.

dear @Michelle,thanks for reading my post. I almost ignore your comment here as there is no notification to alert me. How I wish there is a notification feature set up by LB team.

And, there is no comment notification at the dashboard too, so we know nothing on the progress of our blogs. I feel a bit sad on this, hope there will be a little bit improvement from the team of LB in the future.
Back to your question, what I send to my daughter for lunch, right? I don’t send, will ask her to bring along in the morning, she just need some snack for tea break or recess time only. She will go home at 1.00p.m, so no lunch box needed for this year.

I try to reduce the carbohydrate content food for her, as she is a bit overweight and this caused she has foot ache.
I try to give her more vegetables and fruits beside some cakes, noodles, chapatti. 😛

Do you still remember what did your mummy prepare you during your school time?

good tip and the best is the tomato really super healthy choice and got water along with vitamins to make you more healthy. good tip amazing

@Nemzie, thanks for your feedback. I agree with you, this is a continue to come up issue in the office. Hehe!

Yes, can’t agree more, there are thousands of tips on increase the productivity, the willingness to learn is the key.
And, thanks for another 5 tips.

I love the first tip, arrive early, so will have a quite section to do our own things. And, won’t waste our time in the traffic.

And, planning is important too, so we won’t miss out anything and will focus on the important things.

leave the office for lunch can help too? An interesting point! I love it! Does it because we can have a rest from work, and come back with a fresh mind and head, so can help in increase the productivity?

Stay focus is very important, I agree too, it will help us not divert from the goal and make sure we are heading toward our goal, and in the fast way!

I really like posts like this , good to do it your self and carfted your self, i guess its really will be done with love, that no one can really do. we all like our kids but we also we are limited with money, so what to do, just like you posted, do it with budget caue im sure there are things tomake a great party while you are spending maybe just few things to buy.
I made birthday for kid with recycling things such as bottles and spend some money on things i was nto able to doat home like plates with superman and cups and so on. you know sometimes you do know thing but you do have to find someone to remind you about

All so very true, I agree routine is a must even though it is not always easy to set one. Keeping a little one busy is also a good way to keep them well behaved and out of mischief.

Agree with you, @tracy, keep the kids busy is one of the good way to keep them stick to same place for hours long, but hopefully never with the T.V . Hehe!
The vehicles games can get the boys love into and play for long hours while Barbie toy is the most favourite of the girls.
I keep my boy busy with routine house core, he has his own broom, mop, cleaning tools set, thus he has something or tasks to do at home everyday, so he has not time for running here and there. Hehe!
He loves to do all the tasks because of self fulfilment and joys!

good tip to do while talking to kids, but kids are differetnnt and what good with one it may be bad with other, also some are sensitive, some the other way around they need real hard time to learn, we raise them but the society and the mixed jeans means that they come with some attitude that we cant control but can trim. also some kids you find them nice when they are naughty, i mean being devil is sometimes wanted so the kids able to face and learn and do mistakes also. and being childish for kids that less than 5 years is really cute and sweet. thanks for your tips and well writing posts
