The end of the year is fast approaching and personal loans have never been more popular. Usually, this is the time where we spend a lot of money not just on Christmas gifts and travel but also on life insurance and educational plans. A lot of people make the end of the year a reason [...]

One of the things that I’m looking forward to buying when we move houses next year is buying some playground equipment. If ever we’re lucky enough to find a house with a garden, I will invest on these cute toddler swings that I saw at swingset.com. I’ve always enjoyed these when I was young and [...]

We often take advantage of the fact that we have 24/7 help around the house. But whenever our helper takes her monthly two-day off, that’s when I realized how much we need her to set order in our house. I can live without a maid, that’s for sure. However, if you need to work from [...]

I really don’t want to risk it because I believe we’ve done our share of rainy getaways already. Good thing [...]

I received great news today about a friend who just got engaged. She met her boyfriend at the same office where she works in New York. They decided that they wanted to make a family as soon as possible so aside from a simple wedding preparation; they’re going to allot all their time and money [...]
