There was one home that has some features similar to the dream home that I have in mind. The quality laminate flooring they used for their home was nice, inexpensive and just what I wanted. I am going to find more time to browse on the houses they have featured before. It is just inspiring to look at those nice houses that makes me want to work harder so that one day soon we could also have our very own house similar to one of those beautiful and functional houses featured at Beyond the Box

It shows every Monday at 10AM, Thursday at 10:30AM and Friday at 3:30PM if these schedules are right at the Lifestyle Network, in case you want to watch it too.

This is the Morrisons Apple Squash Juice Concentrate that my mom sent to us from the Christmas package that my dear elder sister sent to us from UK. This is really sweet. At first I thought I could just drink it as it is even a little and I did not know that it was juice concentrate so you could imagine how sweet this tasted when I drank it straight without adding any water. Only a little of this for a glass of water will do for me but I was late to know that.

It is delicious and it is the first time that hubby and I have tasted anything like this with squash. I could not actually point out the taste of squash int his juice concentrate. It is more of strong sweet apple taste. the label says no added sugar from this concentrated apple juice drink with sweeteners. Yes it is kind of too sweet for me but I think my sister liked this that is why she sent this to us for us to enjoy drinking it as well.

This should have been our “wine” during New Year. There is still a few left of this since I don’t drink this anymore than hubby does once in awhile.

But yesterday, we started to notice that the water drained faster. Today it was a miracle. The water would drain within a minute or less! After six months, the kitchen sink is draining faster… alleluia! You may not know how hassle it was at first to deal with washing dishes if you easily have a back pain from bending down and when you have a back problem washing dishes in our alternative sink with a faucet that is really low.

Now am thankful washing dishes will be a lot more convenient. I am truly and simply happy with this improvement even though hubby was not really able to fix it. I just warned him though that the water bill may go higher with the ease of washing dishes making it easier for me to wash and clean at the sink every now and then. He said he won’t be worried. I hope he really won’t be.

I hope there will be better and more truly child friendly shows for the little kid. We cannot access the Disney Junior channel on cable for now. I don’t know why but at the first few days when we subscribed to SkyCable it was there then it was not accessible anymore after a few days. Sad because there are more favorable shows for kids at Disney Junior. Will try to check it out with the cable operator what we can do about it. Hope they have a more affordable plan on that for us as an option.

Thinking about that vacation house, I remember a month ago, my friend shared a photo of that lovely house they are going to spend their holiday in. It has those log bedroom furniture that I wish we could also have for my folks to use at home. They love and appreciate the log furniture. My folks are not much into modern furniture stuff so I know they would want that in case we push through with plans before to build some sort of a small rest house on the vacant lot next to our old home. I guess we will remind them of that plan when we get to visit them during our lil boy’s Christmas vacation.

Then after that I am gonna do more searching and this time for Christmas gift ideas for the family. Thanks to the internet it is easy these days to do quick searching for something or anything you may want to get and buy.

The Christmas tree that hubby and I saw at the VP Mall three weeks ago while we were scouting for affordable new decors. I wish we could have a budget for this. Just thinking and wishing if we could have a different tree this year, I’d get something like this. The VP department store has tree designers that you could hire. But for me I could not afford them because we are on a tight budget right now. Maybe I am just going to find new transparent lights and fill up our tree with so many lights. I like a tree of lights and not much on Christmas tree decors.

I actually have not ever slept in a sleeping bag before. When we had camping during my grade school days, we slept in a tent and no sleeping bags. I hope hubby will let me buy one, I am sure the one who will be so excited to use it for the first time will be no other than the little guy in the house!
