Cheap Domain Names and Web Hosting Services

I have two blogs that need to be registered in domain. It is taking awhile I know, but I need to be careful in choosing a web hosting company to use when it comes to my blogs. I have a bad experienced when I registered my one blog; they couldn't even give my blog the basic things it needs. So I decided to cancel it and told myself not to rush when finding and choosing web hosting company who register domain in such a way that will satisfy the need of my blogs. Then after long search, I finally found the one I was looking for and that is UK-Cheapest.co.uk, a company that offers everything a blog could ever need.

Tomato Fair

This snapshot was taken at the Tomato Fair last summer where they posed with the giant Duckie :-). Jacob really enjoyed the activities for kids like face painting, animal petting, deflatable slides as well as the hay ride; Matt and I enjoyed watching him playing with the other kids.

We planned to buy some tomatoes, but we forgot to bring cash, so we just went around visiting some booth selling all kinds of arts and crafts. Foods were not cheap, but we love the fried green tomatoes and tomato pie.

Flowers are my Favorites...

I love flowers so much; they made me appreciate more of Gods creations when I see them! My hubby used to give me flowers once a week and I was loving it! But because they are expensive, I told him to stop bringing me flowers, but only when there is an ocassion like my Birthday and Valentines Day! At first he didn't like that idea but eventually gave in to what I want! I was just trying to save it instead.

Tulips is one of my favorites, next is Daisies and then Orchids! I like Roses, too!

Adorable Teacup Yorkie Dogs

I grew up with at least two dogs in our house that is why I am missing having dogs home. My husband used to have dogs when he was single, too! Now our four year old son is very fond of our neighbor's dogs and has been bugging us to buy one for him. We told our son we would buy a dog next year after we are settled to our new place; plus the apartment we are living now is very small to have pet. We like our dog to have a space to run around and play. I would like to have cute dogs like the Yorkies, on the other hand my husband and son would like to get Feist. I have found a website where we can get cute dogs like yorkies at teacupyorkiedogs.com. They are very cute, cuddly and adorable! If you are looking for teacup yorkie dogs, you need to visit their site. You can even watch them at the videos taken by the owners during Halloween with their costumes and all. It was funny when Bubby didn't like the costume he was wearing that he wouldn't even want to move! I wonder how would it look like when you cross breed Feist and Yorkies; I bet it would looked very cute, too! By the way, their names are Isabella and Bubby. Look at them, don't they look adorable in the pictures?

A Perfect Family Night Movie

My family and I are movie lovers. We watch movie likes two times a weeks. When it comes to choosing movie to watch as family, we make sure that it is educational and would be helpful and contains value necessary for the growth of our son as well as entertaining. Usually, we watch movie at home since we have a son who is only four year old. We just rent movie on a regular basis because it is very convenient and is cheaper than going to a movie house. Popcorn and pizza have been part of our family movie night ever since.

Talking about movie that teaches values, here is the one that you can watch with your family and it is entitled All Roads Lead Home The Movie. This was shown in theaters last few months ago, September of 2008 to be exact. It is very touching and I even cried while watching it. Anyway, this is a story of a young girl who lost her mother in a car accident and her father struggles raising her. The girls attitude towards her father was changed by a dog named Atticus and the red bred race horse. Belle (girl’s name) eventually changes the lives of those who love her. This movie is really a wonderful movie and we will surely add it to our family movie night tradition. You have to see it for yourself. Above is a sneak preview of the movie. Have fun watching it!

The Last Christmas with Family

When was the last time that you spent Christmas with the whole family?

That was before I came here in America, 2000. And that was it. I am hoping to spend Chrismas with them next year with my hubby and son. It would be very exciting since that will be the first time that my family and hubby will finally meet in person. I can not wait. My family have been anxious to meet him and vice versa. Oh how I miss my family so much especially this time of the year! All in all it has been 8 years since I have spent my last Christmas with them, sad but what can I do? I have my own family now and as always when our budget allows us, we will go right away; plus my son and I were there summer last year!
