Matching Outfits

By | Fashion, Great Ideas | 10 Comments

Was it the fashion during the 80’s to have matching outfits for the whole family? We definitely had a lot of them 🙂

I actually like the idea, If I had a daughter, I would not mind wearing matching outfits with her….. though nowadays we would probably get a lot of stares from people wondering what we are doing.  And no, boots were not the “in” thing, those were correction shoes we had to wear since we were all bow legged 🙂

Nowadays, it is only the kids who we coerce to dress alike

And only once during the year do I let my sons dress alike and it is during Christmas – mostly for the family photo that we do traditionally..and so far they have been very cooperative scan0018.jpgdsc00046.JPGimg_2600.jpgdsc03955.JPGdsc_0025.JPGdsc_6989.JPG

Martha Stewart of the Philippines

By | Tributes, Yummy! | 8 Comments

My sister in-law, Tina, is “Martha Stewart of the Philippines.”  Aside from organizing exciting kiddie parties, being very organized at home, spectacular in entertaining, knowing many great finds and sources for the household, she even bakes!   I took photos of most of the goodies she baked for the family…she even makes homemade ice cream which everyone loves. Once, she even sent me a german cheese pastry because she knew I loved cheese.  

Heart2Heart pays tribute to one of our favorite features and to a great Mom and homemaker! We are lucky to be her family 🙂

Agatha celebrates Mother’s Day 2009 with a jewellery collection of fun, brightly coloured pieces. Bracelets, necklaces, earrings and watches in decorative designs… now it’s up to you to choose one your mum will love!

Silver bracelets say it all, twinkling with the words “Maman je t’ ” and “Mum I love you”. One spells out your message in charms, and the other comes with two loving hearts: a delicate mother-of-pearl charm engraved with “Mum I love you” on top of a silver heart.

Agatha, or how to say “Mum I love you!”

WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN’T LOOKING 

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw you hang my First painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately Wanted to paint another one. 

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw you feed a Stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind To animals. 

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw you make my Favorite cake for me, and I learned that the little Things can be the special things in life. 

When you thought I wasn’t looking I heard you say a Prayer, and I knew that there is a God I could always Talk to, and I learned to trust in Him. 

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw you make a Meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I Learned that we all have to help take care of each Other. 

When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you give of Your time and money to help people who had nothing,And I learned that those who have something should Give to those who don’t. 

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw you take care Of our house and everyone in it, and I learned we have To take care of what we are given. 

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw how you Handled your responsibilities, even when you didn’t Feel good, and I learned that I would have to be Responsible when I grow up. 

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw tears come From your eyes, and I learned that sometimes things Hurt, but it’s all right to cry. 

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw that you Cared, and I wanted to be everything that I could be. When you thought I wasn’t looking I learned most of life’s lessons that I need to know to be a good and Productive person when I grow up.
