Trays

Posted by Trendy Chick on July 20th, 2009

These tv trays are very popular in the West, we don’t see much of this back home but these ones are so pretty, one cannot resist it.   I wouldn’t mind having one of it instead of the wooden ones – those are too common.  But you can even use these for your outdoorsy summery BBQ [...]

Appointment Clock

I called it an appointment clock and it may be the thing to get for busy moms like myself.  Just penning it down whenever i need to never forgetting them when the time comes.  Write your appointments on the clock’s whiteboard face; for example take your pills or even your diet pills.

Summer is here and we just got home from our mini-vacation.  We crashed at our cousins’  manufactured homes but it was great because we not only get to save money, our kid got to spend some time with her cousins.
But as house guests, we all know that there are some rules one needs to have [...]

Make Shift BookShelves

Using rain gutter – I found this very useful – DIY bookshelves for the entire room for your kid or even a study room shared in the basement.  Very cheap, easy to put up plus you won’t break your bank account.  But as you can see a lot of space required on the wall but [...]

Cushions

While helping my babysitter to look for medical coding training courses we dropped in a Wicker’s Emporium because we knew they had a sale on.  Little did we know that the cushions plus covers were going at 50% off.  I wanted to buy something for the summer to give the living room a different feel [...]

Pretty Girl’s Room

Posted by Trendy Chick on July 4th, 2009

Looking to decorate my kid’s room because she is older, this came up after searching.  This is a DIY room apparently, done by a mother who loves her daughter very much.  Like my father would buy Ferrari parts for my brothers when they were a young adult.  I used to wonder why my dad would [...]

Besides looking for a twin bed for the kid who needs it bad because she cannot be sleeping in a toddler’s bed much longer, we were also trying to kill two birds with one stone by getting an  unlocked phone as well. The above was found at viatoybox.com and what is awesome is the storage [...]
