More than the neat kitchen, I so love the round table. I saw a similar dining set before from one of the local shops here. I wanted to buy it. They weren’t that sturdy though so I had to let it pass.

I need to check out thule rack online, but I am distracted. I have not internet connection for the last couple of days and I am now using broadband. Anyway, a digi-scrapping store is having a $1 sale right now, for just one day, so I guess shopping needs to go first. After all, I am trying out scrapping again so I’m sure these new purchases wouldn’t go to waste.

I have always wanted a pink front door. But pink does look nice, too. Don’t you think so?

It has been a long while. Our connection was down for six days already and I was not able to accomplish any of my work. I was supposed to help out a relative look for a dependable roadside assistance provider, but wasn’t able to do so. All because of our very unreliable internet service provider. Just one of the problems with living in a province, there isn’t much utilities to choose from, so we had no choice but to settle with what is available. I hope everything gets better soon.

And frugal, too.
Vinegar
The most frugal and versatile non-toxic cleaner. It is a safe and natural disinfectant that, mixed in a 1/1 ratio with water, can clean everything from floor to ceiling in pretty much any room, including mirrors and window. You should not, however use vinegar on porous natural surfaces like marble or granite.
It’s great at cutting grease. Iit’s especially good at cleaning up bathroom stainless steel fixtures and making them shiny. The vinegar and water mixture is also works as a stain remover on carpets and rugs!
Vinegar is also a great replacement for fabric softener in you laundry.
Baking Soda
Use Baking Soda to clean toilets, Just a few shakes around the bowl and a good scrubbing with a toilet brush
Hydrogen Peroxide
Great for cleaning areas that you want to be disinfected.
The mix of hydrogen peroxide and water also is great at removing certain types of stains on clothing. Dark stains, like blood, blueberries or other berries, or juice, come out easily when you spray them before putting the clothing in the wash.

I have been hearing and reading a lot about investing in gold, silver and other precious metals. I was a bit taken aback too when I heard about gold coin and bullion investment from the series Gossip Girl. Indeed, precious metals investment is getting more popular lately, even the kids of Upper East Side is putting their money on this investment. Seriously, this type of investment is worth looking into. United States Gold Bureau is a good place to visit. Aside from the articles that can help you know more about precious metals investment, you can also purchase those precious metals from them. They likewise have a group of hard asset professionals that can guide you through the whole investment process.

Since I don’t have the space for a real garden, I am thinking of having a container garden instead. Something like this would be nice.

We don’t normally join trick or treats in the mall. I just prepare a Halloween costume for my son for the school’s Halloween program. Since he is in a new school now, I am still not sure how their Halloween will go about. I know for a fact though that the school doesn’t encourage flashy and expensive outfits and even promotes using whatever’s available and just be a little creative, so I will surely not be needing to spend so much for a costume. But still I try to browse for Halloween costumes online, but mainly for ideas and inspiration. I even thought of making his costume myself. But this will have to see.

We have tried and purchased several kinds of camera, but we haven’t had a camcorder. Sad but true. Our son grew up with videos taken by our trusty digital camera. But at least even without a digital camcorder, we were able to capture his milestones. But he’s growing up so fast and we are planning of getting the family’s first video camcorder. Of course we want the HD digital camcorder. Now it’s time to check on camcorder reviews so we’ll know what to get.
