Among Other Things…

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

No, I hadn’t abandoned this blog. And I know that is subject to all sorts of debate among bloggers and non-bloggers alike, but no, I hadn’t abandoned this blog.

I had meant to post about a weekend of sinful indulgence on Monday but in the  process of updating my plugins, I bonkered this site. And because I was in the midst of baking a cake, some cupcakes AND revising with the Kids, it was only late afternoon that I was able to rectify the situation. By nightfall, I hadn’t the physical nor mental energy to blog!

And then there was more revision with the Kids, the Church’s Easter event and the potential of having the Bff move to my neighbourhood. That last one being a highlight. Woot!

But I’m baacck.

Revision is over and tomorrow is the Good Friday public holiday. Yay! I’ve let all hair loose for the Kids this whole afternoon, on the condition that they LET ME BET BACK TO MY BLOG.

So here I am, Kids creating havoc around the house (I’m kidding!) while I happily tinker away at my computer.

So what’s in it for all of you with all of this you say?

Well, I’ve signed up for the 31 Days To Build A Better Blog challenge. You know, to learn how to make your visits here worthwhile.

The first task was a good one. We were challenged to write an Elevator Pitch for our blogs. I had to sweat my brain trying to think of my Elevator Pitch. I wish I could tell you that I came up with a fantastic one. Alas, (thanks to my indiscipline and inefficiency at managing my time!) I have yet to come up with something better than “A Woman’s Weekly is one Mom’s attempt at juggling three kids, her blog and the laundry.”

Can you tell I have a loonnng way to go?

Nonetheless, as with all learning, expect to see some gradual Changes to my blog, one of which will likely be a change to this blog’s template. I had one person tell me recently that my blog had “lots of things going on over there, it’s hard to focus on your post!” Ouch. Ok. Comment heard, hence the motivation to make this place a pleasant, friendly and inviting place to visit.

Wish me luck!

Actually, I also wanted to show you the sinful indulgence that I had made that I was talking about earlier. But somehow it wouldn’t upload to my post. Anybody knows what an HTTP error is?! I’ve given up trying. So maybe next time.

And as for American Idol, aww mann…! I’m gonna miss Scott. :cry:

Y’all have a good week ahead, what’s left of it.

And Have a blessed Easter Celebration Friends. He is risen!

What I Learned This Week

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

I learned that I should’ve prepared a different activity for the pre-schoolers (including my Youngest) who came to Big Sis’ birthday party this past weekend. One Darling stayed with her Mommy throughout the games, another Darling followed her Mommy everywhere and my Youngest just pushed her way into the crowd and stuck it through, but was at one time drowned out by the voices of the ‘bigger’ little people surrounding her and collapsed into my arms crying. She did recover, as always, but it would probably be nice if she were to sit with the other two Darlings doing a little activity of their own.

I learned that when you’ve run out of icing sugar, use the grinder accessory that comes with your blender and grind your caster sugar to a powder. Pure sugar! Unlike the Namye brand I got for the Bff which turned out to be a mixture of starch flour or something like that. Ew.

I learned the lyrics to Hannah Montana’s song ‘True Friend’ in the midst of organising Big Sis’ party. I found my thoughts going to the Bff and how true the words were of our friendship. I pray my Girls will have precious friendships like we have.

I love Jo Lynne’s musings on life’s ‘lessons’. Go check it out too. ;-)

Tale of Two Babes

Monday, March 30th, 2009

p10204921Let me tell you about these two Babes.

The Babe on the right is the BFF. She’s the same age as me, went to the same school as me and grew up in Church together with me.

Then, we got married, the same year, and got pregnant with our first child, the same year. In fact, the estimated due date for our Babies was in the same week. No. None of this we planned together.

That brings us to Tiny Babe on the left. As it turned out, BFF Babe had her Baby five weeks early. Tiny Babe felt so comfortable inside Mommy’s belly, she came late. And it turns out, Tiny Babe came on BFF Babe’s birthday. String of special coincidences, no?

Happy Birthday Babes!

Because I Have An Exciting Weekend Planned

Friday, March 27th, 2009

I’ll be ‘away’ this weekend.

That is, away from this blog. We’re spending the weekend at my Mom’s house. Big Sis and her best friends will be having a rockin’ Hannah Montana birthday party over there. We live too far away from all her close friends, hence we decided to host it at their Nana’s. I’ve been baking furiously since morning, tweaking and improvising as I realised midway through my baking extravaganza, I was short on essential supplies! It’s just one of those things yaknow…

I might blog about the cake I’ve baked for Big Sis. Depends on how good it finally looks  and how tasty people find it. Stay tuned if you care to. ;-)

And then there’s that widely talked about Earth Hour happening at 8:30pm tomorrow night. Yes, it is my Mom’s place that we’ll be switching off the lights at. Hehe…

There is no internet connection at the Kids’ Nana’s. So, I will ’see’ all of you again when I get back from there.

By the way, heard from the grapevine, Michael goes home tonight.

Have a good weekend everyone!
