Make resolutions you'll be able to keep

It's that time of the year again. A lot of people are probably anxious about their new years resolution. For me however, I want to think of something that I can be able to keep. Something easy but beneficial.

I do have something that I really want to do at the beginning of the year. What I want is to be able to clean every inch of my house so it will be spotless. I know it sounds crazy. The only issue that I have is that I have allergy and and every time I clean, the sneezing will hit me. Usually, I do one space at a time. I like moving things around as well to create a different look. It gets a little boring sometimes so moving things around create a different appeal.

I was hoping though that with all of these work that I want to do, it will be a good exercise and maybe I'll be like a shrink tube and just lose some weight. But I think I'll be able to do it, hopefully before school start again.

Also, I want a add a little bit of character to our house. I also found this nice design for a bare wall that we have at home. It will definitely add a character to the bare wall.

I particularly love the shade of blue on this one as well as the tan combination.

Becoming a trend

Promotional items are really getting popular nowadays. Big or small business use it to promote and advertise their business at the same time use it as a giveaway. Some of the items I've seen are promotional umbrellas, tote, bags, mug, backpack, computer bags, etc. Name it and you will find it.

I found some stuff that I really like and I might even use it for our organization. Although not right now as I am on a budget but definitely later when I can afford. But like the duffel bag I found online, I saw one that starts from $7.15 with a minimum order of 50 pieces, which is not bad at all. The bag features a front slip pocket, zippered closure on main compartment, carrying handles with sewn grip, shoulder strap, front water bottle pocket, metal d-ring, and contrasting stitch detail and its made of 600 Denier polyester canvas.

Gift Ideas?

Have you finished your Christmas shopping? If you asked me, my answer to that will be "...ahhhhhh..I think so!". The reason is that I still don't know what to get my husband for Christmas. It's only a week away and I still can't make up my mind. He gave me some ideas on what he want and my daughter has set her mind that she will get tools for her dad.

Last night I asked my daughter how she is going to get her dad the tools and she said "you have to get it with me..." For a 3 years old to answer like that, I guess that means something. So, the tools is out... because that will be her gift. So I have to get him something else.

So I am still doing some browsing around trying to make up my mind. Hopefully, by the time I figure out what to get there's still stuff to buy. It sure would be nice to just get him some Kipling luggage. But the thing about it is we rarely go somewhere to even need a luggage.

Although, I told him that I really want to go somewhere next year for summer. Just to change the atmosphere and scenery. So the luggage will be useful, but I want to get him something that he can use and really need. Well, what do you know... I think the a vacation package will be nice.

Feeling a little overwhelmed

So I am feeling a little overwhelmed. I am getting to the point of burning out...sort of. Well, I have been blogging for a while now and really there will come a time when there's just not much that I want to write. There are those days that I have a lot of things to write but just can't find the time and the inspiration to do it.

I feel like I have been on a long vacation that I am just ready to do something. Start a career or find an employment and earn something. Be able to travel whenever I want to. But then again, if I am working for somebody traveling might not even be one of the things I can do. Maybe once or twice a year. Maybe~!

I'm thinking maybe its just the holiday stress that's getting into me. You know its really stressful when you are trying to get your family something for Christmas, yet you don't really know where to get the budget to get it. So why even bother right? I have to bother... I am a mom.
