Relaxing hobby for the family

Posted on 02/22/2012 by supermommyjem| 1 Comment

Playing musical instruments and singing is a relaxing hobby for the family. Whether it is piano, drum or guitar it will surely bring good mood with good music played by a member of the family. When I was a child, I dream of playing musical instruments like piano and guitar but I was not able to do it instead I sing. In my childhood days, we only have the small kid’s keyboard at home. I only played simple piece like “Happy Birthday song” and the music piece that was taught by my Music teacher with his key notes.

From my mother side clan, they have the great singing voice and I am so thankful that I inherited a part of it. One of my aunt can play a piano and can gracefully sing at the same time. I remember when I was ten, I joined an amateur singing contest in the province and my cousin played his classic guitar for me to practice. At the night of singing contest, I was so nervous because it was my first time to join in the contest with live band. Native Instruments were used by the musicians at the stage to play the song of each contestant. Guess what? I won the first prize with my chosen song “When you tell me that you love me” by the American soul singer Diana Ross. This is one of the unforgettable experience that I have in my childhood memories.

Now that I have a family, I wanted to encourage my child to be interested with musical instruments and love music. There are no dull moments with music. It helps to reduce stress in our body. Playing instruments and singing together will keep the family close bonding.

I have visited Mathemagis Singapore Math tutorial center in Katipunan with my little boy for an initial assessment. The center is clean, organized, has a good ambiance with lively color design combination and very pleasing for the child to stay. Since my little boy is only three, he had a lot of fun with the hands-on activities. He gets along easily with the teacher as she patiently presented different hands-on activities.

Practical happy living with Bunk beds

Posted on 02/16/2012 by supermommyjem| Leave a comment

In my childhood days, I used to share my bedroom with my younger brother. During those times we used bunk beds. My position at the bunk bed is always on the top while my younger brother is on the main or first bed. Being on the top bed, I enjoy the top view because I can see the beautiful sky through our high window and I love climbing up. Those were the days of my childhood and now that I have my own family raising kid/s, I would like them to experience the happy moments that I have in my childhood days.

: bunk beds

Currently I only have a son but my husband and I are looking forward for more children in the future. Part of our house plan is the kid’s bedroom. The photo above are some of the bunk beds that I like to have. I saw this when I search online.We would like to set up the kid’s bedroom with a bunk bed. There are many advantages of choosing this type of bed and the main purpose is the practicality of saving up space. With the freed up space, you can place other important things. Sharing beds with other members of the family will also keep your close bonding. There are times that when you have close relatives or friends visiting you and wanted to sleep over, you can also offer the extra space of the bunk beds. The general cleaning of the bedroom is also easy to manage because there are less clutter. I am really excited for the progress of our house plan.

Jelly Bean candies for Kids

Posted on 02/16/2012 by supermommyjem| 1 Comment

Jelly bean candies is one of the favorite candies of my little boy. When he watch educational children shows, he usually see the Jelly bean candies and he ask me to buy those candies. I tried to look for this candy in the local market but it was hard to find. Good thing that my sister from Canada sent Jelly bean candies inside the balikbayan package.

: Sweet Jelly bean candies

From the packaging the ingredients of Jelly bean candies are sugar, glucose syrup, modified corn starch, icing sugar, carnauba wax, mineral oil, artificial flavors and color #5. It was manufactured in a nut free/ peanut free facility and may contain traces of milk ingredients. As a mom, I am very concern of the calorie content because lately I have been focusing on my little boy’s weight gain. For every 14 candies, the calorie is equivalent to 110 calories. It has 9% carbohydrate but I don’t see any nutritional percentage for Vitamins. He enjoy eating the jelly bean candies while watching his favorite children TV show.

The Jelly bean candies are sweet, soft and has an exciting taste especially for kids.

Working at home online in a contractor management

Posted on 02/16/2012 by supermommyjem| Leave a comment

Many people are wondering the nature of my online work at home. They usually asked how is the process of my work, how do you communicate and how do I get paid. I normally answer them that there is a good process and instructions to be followed when you work at home online. The online work process is a confidential matter that I do not divulge. Let me share my experience of being an independent contractor at home.

I have been a contract worker. When I started working online at home, the first job that I accepted is a project-based contract. The contractor management allows you to be more detailed in your work and there is a time sheet that needs to be accomplished to determine the accuracy of your job. What I like about it is that it helps me to become independent at my online work managing my own time and schedule to adhere to the company’s work target and goal. It was easy to deal and transact in a contract because you can review the scope of work before you sign it and there is Code of Ethics and Business Conduct policies which are good for the company in return. That way I feel no worry about the company that I am working with and vice versa the company can have a peace of mind with their workers transaction in a contract.

I am participating in a blogger campaign by Bucks2Blog and was compensated. However, the views and opinions are my own.

Post Valentine Celebration

Posted on 02/15/2012 by supermommyjem| 1 Comment

Some people prefer Post Valentine celebration. There are different reasons why they do not celebrate it exactly as Valentine’s date which is February 14. Reason includes: they have a priority work to do, budget is not enough, partner schedule is not available on Valentine’s day, etc. In my case, the reason of not celebrating it on the exact Valentine’s date is that our schedule is not available exactly on Valentine’s day because we have a priority work to do. We will have a simple post Valentine celebration this weekend and I think we will fill it with full activities with my family.
