Swimming
Summer is just less than two months away. I bet a lot of you are already thinking of your summer escapades. While I am also thinking of the possibility of enrolling the little boy in a swimming class. Their summer class this year will include a choice of either soccer or swimming class. If only we could opt for both, I think it would be good for his experience. I think it will be fun too. Since he already played soccer last summer until almost three months ago, I think swimming will be a good thing to try for him this time if we really have to choose.
Another idea that I had in mind too was for us to buy a kiddie swimming pool. He surely will have fun and I could already imagine his excitement. If we could only have a pool of our own in the backyard so he can learn to swim from there. Just an idea that I have as I read about these solar sun rings, a passive solar swimming pool heating device that are easy to handle, use and store as well.
Thinking about swimming reminds me of that time years before when I enrolled in a swimming class myself after my sister enrolled as well. It was fun to swim and I miss swimming in the pool. I am no swimmer but I would love to learn to swim again even if it would mean learning it together with my little boy.
Rings
It is the love month and it is that time of the month when lovers, friends, families and married couples celebrate love all month long or on that special day dedicated on the 14th of this month. All these things just remind me at the same time to check on our wedding rings. It is still here in my precious wallet waiting to be worn fittingly in our wedding ring fingers once again.
Looking at these beautiful partnership rings shown by another friend, just reminds me that I need to think about getting our rings adjusted. It should be put on my priority to-do list and I have to remind hubby that he should be able to fix a schedule when he is free from work and we can go to the jeweler to have our rings adjusted. This is one thing we have long postponed. High time to do this long postponed thing we should have simply done a long time ago.
Beyond the Box
I have been watching Beyond the Box by HGTV every chance that I get when I catch it on TV when the little boy is asleep and I have free time to watch TV while I work. I am impressed by some of the houses they feature in this show. Those unique, affordable homes that can be created with homeowners’ vision, great design sense, and innovation.
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.
