This Lovely Things

Friday, January 1st, 2010

I came across a store where they offer a selection of kitchen and table accessories. It is refreshing, not to mention practical, to see so many beautiful objects for the home all in one place. I found some lovely things to set your breakfast table with, from salt and pepper shakers to sleek pitchers that keep both hot and cold temperatures constant. The citrus-squeezer in aluminum is both elegant and practical at the same time. Its simple design makes it easy to use and to clean afterward. The milk and sugar set are mini editions of coffee-maker and tea brewer. Nevertheless, I became interested to buy this wonderful kitchen and table accessories to set in my own table.

I am sure that ones my sister visited our house and found all of these in our dining room, she will definitely asked where she can find this stuff so that she can also have it.

The Gift List

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

One morning, I overheard my office mates’ conversation about the gifts they have to buy for their friends and love ones this holiday season. They were exchanging their ideas on what particular gift is good for the particular person. They noticed that I am not interested to share my ideas. Someone teased me that I have no plan of giving gifts for them. I just told them that it is not problem for me because I have a running list on Excel that I use and update every year, removing acquaintances I haven’t seen for a year or those who have moved away.They were amazed when I informed them that I categorize my list first by country to remind me of gifts or cards I have to send out. I also create different spreadsheets for the office, friends, and family. I also keep track of how much I spent the year before as a guide for assigning this year’s budget.

That way, at least on paper, I know how much I should set aside or save.

Keep In Touch

Children born into wealthy households often have helpers and caregivers who play a vital role in their
development. But make sure that you now who raises your children. Is it that nanny, your personal assistant.

Parents who entrust the care of their children to other people when they are away for business or pleasure should assure their child’s physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. Are they really safe to be with them? What if your child became more close to their nanny than yours? There can never be a substitute to parents spending time with their children. But if being away from kids is unavoidable, always try to keep communication lines open. Talk to their teachers, have a personal relationship with their caregivers, involve yourself in your children’s life as much as you can, and monitor your children and the people in charge of them regularly, even from a distance.

Through this, you can still be able to express your love to your children.
