Picture Perfect

Whenever I shop, I browse the online stores first and see what they’ve got and also to compare prices so we will know where to go. That will save us time, energy and gas because we already have an idea what we like and where to get it.

I am actually in the middle of checking furniture prices of the different furniture stores here in the city because we need a new bed for the little one. I am currently looking at the ashley furniture prices and so far, so good.

It’s almost dinner time, but here I am still busy sorting our documents in our file cabinet. It’s been a couple of weeks already since we took a huge envelope with us on our trip to a nearby city and it’s only now that I get to take the documents from the envelope and arrange them in the cabinet. I’ve been wanting to do it, but it slipped my mind. And when I saw it today, I told myself, it’s now or never. They should be put back where they belong – organized and all.

How I wish we had a mesa safe though because I know some of these important documents should be put in a safe place for security reasons. I will look into that later.

Every single day, I watch the same shows – The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Rachael Ray Show and those makeover shows on HGTV. I get ideas from the latter and I actually have already incorporated some of what I had seen there in our humble abode. There is still much to do, but I am taking it one step at a time.

Yesterday, the show ‘Candice Tells All’ on HGTV had a bathroom makeover. And as always, the makeover was really amazing. She changed the old tub to one of those beautiful clawfoot tubs which made the bathroom really elegant. I just love it. I wish our bathroom was like that. Maybe in the future. Keep on dreaming!

Can you picture what your dream house is? I certainly can visualize mine: A three-bedroom house with an office, a loft, a patio at the backyard and a medium-sized swimming pool. Not to forget the landscaping with beautiful flowers and a garden waterfall. I don’t really dream of a big house because there are only three of us.

I used to not dream of having a swimming pool though because of those horror stories that I’ve read and heard of kids drowning. My son is only 8-years-old so that is pretty scary for me. But there are already a lot of things that we can do to avoid accidents like installing a mesh pool fence which is really cool.

That is still a dream for now, but I do believe that dreams do come true so I am continuing to dream BIG!
