Mommy's Bright Bundles

Baby and I went to the mall today to meet a friend who bought the Evenflo Exersaucer.  Yes, I sold the exersaucer because my toddler does not even car to play with it anymore.  Even so, she is big for it now.

I sold this Exersaucer to a friend.

An exersaucer is a great toy for infants because they can practice standing and entertain themselves at the same time with the toys around it.  It helps develop the sensory and motor skills.  They can even jump in the saucer to develop the strength of the leg muscles.

As soon as I posted this for sale, my friend showed interest immediately and so I sold it to her.  She has three kids – a young girl, a toddler boy, and an infant little boy.  We met up at the mall in Plano because it is the only place half way both to our homes.

After that, I let my little girl play in the soft play area in the mall for an hour.  Oh she really enjoyed climbing, sliding, and crawling under the tunnels.  She even met new friends again.  That’s the fun part of seeing our children meeting other kids because they start to become sociable.  Well, my husband said that our little girl is becoming a social butterfly.

I am very happy to know that the package full of birthday and belated Christmas gifts arrived in good condition a week ago.  What a great treat for Mother’s Day for my mother, sister, and sister-in-law too.  They all got what they requested from me.   I miss them and everybody in the family so much.

I sent my Mother’s Day greetings to them the other night.  Then my husband and I prepared a small dinner at home with the company of close friends.  We had a great time catching up.  Though my cousin and her daughter were not able to come, my little girl had a wonderful time playing with our friend’s young daughter.  They brought their two poodle dogs and she was very anxious to pet them.

Mother's Day balloon, flowers, and greeting cards

Hhmm…I guess butterflies and blue are the theme for my Mother’s Day celebration this year.  I just noticed.

Giving your moms bouquet of flowers is not always late.  Appreciating all the things they do should not only remembered on this special day.  It has to be all the time. Because a mother’s job is the most difficult task in the world, she should be rewarded by appreciation – helping in the house, a treat somewhere nice, and other gestures that show how much we care for her.  Moms are the ones who take care of the family while dads are gone to work.

Driving is one of the biggest accomplishments I have in my life.  The opportunity to learn how to drive was a blessing.  I thank my husband for me this chance of a lifetime.

We shopped everywhere to look for my first car.  We even looked at Austin used cars online to check on cheap pre-owned cars.  Customer reviews are very important to us and that’s what gives a good factor on buying a car.  Thankfully, we found one that fits my preference.  It’s a Toyota compact car.  As a wedding anniversary and Mother’s Day gift to me, I was very happy.  Now I am enjoying my car and the convenience of driving.  This is the first huge investment for myself.

Whenever I get the chance I took pictures of my little princess especially when she does tricks and silly things that are precious.  I am sending pictures of my daughter periodically to my family back home.  We do not do video chat more often so sending recent pictures through email gives them the idea of how my little one is growing, and to see her in different kinds of mood and occasion.

I had taken lots of photos from the day she was born.  I print copies once in a while but haven’t done recently.  My schedules are very occupied.  I already used three SD memory cards for the pictures.  I do not have a flash drive to store all photos in my computer.  So if it catches a virus again (heaven forbid), I had no defenses.  My husband said he’ll buy me a flash drive for my baby pictures.  That would be awesome.

For taking everyday photos, I only use Canon digital camera that my husband gave me on my birthday three years.  And, I think, it’s due for upgrade. Now that I have a wireless printer, a higher end of digital camera is in my wishlist.  Hopefully, Santa will grant my wish on Christmas so taking pictures with my little one will be more enjoyable.
