For early retirement


2012
05.08

I finally convinced my parents that it is time to sell the old house and buy a new one. This is way cheaper than having it renovate, I wanted my parents to have some money left for their retirement although there are so many memories we share of this house. But my parents are getting old so I have to step up and make the decisions.

We were finally talking to real estate agents and visiting some house but all I can see in some of them, though they look good on the outside, was the smell of asbestos. I didn’t want my parents to die in the new house because they were inhaling some kind of asbestos which by the way cause sarcomatoid when they inhale it. It was so hard to find a new one but I know we were getting close. I am just happy I know things like this and I will not put my parents health in jeopardy.

Grilling with the Girls tonight!

I ma so excited to finally host the barbeque night with the girls later! I already bought a new outdoor grills because the old one cannot be seen by the girls on the special night. It is too old and might not be functioning well, and this may cause the event to not be successful and I am not risking the factor at all. Plus, I got the super-stylish outdoor grill with a discount and they will surely love it.

Good news from hubby!

I got so excited by my husband news this afternoon I didn’t even ask him if he ate lunch already or how was his day. I just realized this after I saw his tiring face while I was jumping for joy. I felt really bad about it so I prepared him something really delicious and special that I learned from a cooking show last Friday. While he was having his good food, and I was seeing the smile on his face back, I opened the topic again and he was good talking about it. We can finally renovate the house that I have been dreaming to rebuild. I already have tons of things in my mind for this renovation thing. For sure, I am going to change the flooring of the living room with alloc domestic. I saw this informercial online and some people who proved that it actually worked for them in so many years. It’s durable, it’s beautiful and it’s good for my home too.

Night out with girlfriends

Barbeque time is the best time I have with my girlfriends! They come over in one designated house for the weekend and we just eat all night and talked about our lives and how are we all have been. My new electric grills never fail me whenever I was the one in charge and as usual, my girls love it!  This was a tradition since we were high school, stopped for a while when we went to college but now that we have our own families, well, some of us, we rekindle the times and we missed it a lot.

Messy flooring

I can’t believe that I have to put a non skid signage at my own home. Well, I mostly see them at business establishments like malls and restaurants but not at my home. My husband is so lousy that every drip of water or anything liquid is on the floor every time he tries to cook something for us. He is a frustrated cook, he wants to cook but cooking doesn’t want him (sorry honey). My kids run around the house like crazy all the time so just to be on the safe side, I have to put that up.

Going green

Green cleaning supplies are most commonly used nowadays since it was introduced. I switched to green cleaning supplies because standard cleaning supplies are linked with different child illnesses including asthma and allergies and I don’t want to risk my child’s health. I am sure that you also want to make sure that your child is at safe and healthy environment so you must consider green cleaning. It is an affordable, yet highly effective method for house cleaning so there’s no reason not to go green. You are not only saving money but you also help the environment since green cleaning is eco friendly.

Love for the Old Stuff

Getting some new decorations for the house wasn’t that easy. Finding the right furniture is a big task for me especially if your mom is looking for some antique drawer knobs to match her style in the bedroom. She appreciates the beauty of old style with a twist that only she can do. She asks me to find some furniture like the ones she saw on tv and she said she will make a magic out of it.

Actually, she really wanted that it will be the whole house she will redecorate, but unfortunately, the time and money is not allowing her. So, she is constantly save her change everything she have one. I am really looking forward to the actual outcome of this room, I hope I’ll love it and maybe make something like this in my own room, too.

Home Sweet Home

My parents motorhome was the one we used for the trip last weekend. Of course, we checked monthly with 5th wheel insurance just to make sure that it is all still set and we are good to go on any trip that we make. This rv was their gift for each other when they retire and after my graduation as well. I owe it to them to have something like this for themselves and they do deserve it, BIG time! They have sacrificed enough for me and I am sure that it was all worth it when they finally got this pretty huge rv. I hope someday to have one, but a nice home in the midst of a peaceful place would be great, too.

My friend wanted to change the design of their house and she asked me to help her in choosing the contemporary furniture that she wants to apply in her house. She wants it because it looks elegant no matter how old the furniture is. She saw my house furniture and she said that she wants the same like mine. I told her that I could help her out in designing her interior so we went to the home furniture depot to look for the things that she needs and I am so excited to see the result of the design.
