Go Organic With Whitney Farms Products

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Whitney Farms for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

 

 

My mom who lives in the Philippines loves gardening a lot. She has a backyard full of flowering plants and orchids. As far as I can remember, I think she has cattleya, denrobiums, vandas and butterfly orchids. She has a lot of green plants too. My mom can spend the whole day just be tending to all her plants and flowers.

 

 

Last time I spoke to her over the phone, she mentioned to me she has plans of using organic soil and organic plant food for her plants. She has tried organic plant food before when I sent her a small box and she said what a big difference it made to her plants. The leaves are healthier and the flowers were blooming nonstop. She got a lot of praises from people who come to our house to visit her. I plan of sending her more since I found a $3 dollar off the Whitney Farms organic soil and organic plant food.

Japanese Green Tea

Hubby won in a tennis tournament against some of his Japanese friends and one of the prizes is a $50 gift card which can only be used to buy japanese green tea. I was not familiar of the different favors of the green tea available so i just picked randomly.The order came today this is how one of the boxes and its contents look like. Inside the tea bags are not only tea leaves but they are dried twigs or branches of a tea plant. To me, they are organic and no artificial flavors or ingredients at all. There's no need to use a tea maker though - which is a good thing. I have tried a few already and still i am trying to adjust to this new flavor of green tea.

Our California Trip

The California trip we had was planned for the kids. It was the best time to bring them there because they were already at the age to enjoy and have fun at the various theme parks. We stayed at a hotel that has amenities for kids to have fun and for the adults to relax too. It was a two bedroom condo hotel with living area, a kitchen and very close to a lot of shopping centers and restaurants. Planning ahead is the key to stress free trip. I made airline and hotel reservations months before the trip. I purchased electronic disneyland tickets to avoid the line at the park entrance and we even have our ponchos ready. I have checked the weather channel and rain welcomed us from the airport. I would not forget how the pouring rain got us all soaked in one of our trips. The rain made our planned trip for that day more fun.

This was my daughter’s first trip to see Mickey Mouse and all her favorite Disney characters. It was unforgettable for her. And, being with her two little cousins made her trip more enjoyable. The kids
want to do it again next time. I have no problems with that. There were still a lot of places we were not able to visit because of time constraints. We will see you next time again, Mickey and Minnie.

My Cousin Bee

I promised myself to blog her arrival. She is my cousin whom I have not seen in 20 years or so. I could not even remember when the last time I saw her. We lived in the same town but because I did not attend the same school with her (she is younger than I) and I was based in Manila before I moved here many many years ago. I am thankful for the social networking sites that keeps us connected whereever we are.

Tomorrow she is arriving for a visit. She already posted as her status as “off to new york.” Her plane is expected to land at JFK airport around four pm and would you believe I will not be able to see her until around 7pm. Hubby is picking her up because I cannot get off from work early on Mondays. I am just hoping the white chocolate delivery I am expecting tomorrow would come on time before I leave work. I ordered them especially for her. White chocolates are her favorite.

My cousin is staying with us for 20 days. We have another cousin who lives in Queens so maybe we can get together while she is here. Our first weekend is to go around Washington, DC for Easter.

Enjoying Girl Scout Cookies

I am having my morning coffee while munching on this Thank You Berry Munch girl scout cookies. This is one of the new flavors they have. These cookies are made with real cranberries. Another favorite of mine on their new flavors is their lemon cookies called Savannah Smiles.

A nice birdhouse to attract some cute birds

Guest post written by Gloria Sommers

I love to see wildlife around my home, although there really isn't enough in my neighborhood for my opinion. But I guess that I shouldn't be surprised because I don't live in the wilderness or anything like that. But it doesn't hurt to try and attract some little cute birds to our home to watch and enjoy. So I thought it might be fun to try and make a birdhouse by myself so that I could attract some birds to look at.

Making a birdhouse is something that I've never tackled before, though. I looked online to find some easy birdhouse directions I could follow and ran across the site debtcounseling.bankrupt.com/. I read through it some and after that I decided to use it to help get some counseling for my debt.

I did find the perfect little tutorial for a birdhouse that I wanted to try out for myself. So I'm going to give it a go and hope that it actually attracts some birds and will give me a little more wildlife to look at from my front porch!
