The Future "Inventor"....

-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The little one likes to build things. She calls them her ‘inventions’. She uses variety of things to make these so-called inventions like tissue boxes, strings, straws, sticks, etc., mostly what I would consider trash. We try not to discourage it because it brings out the creativity in her and they’re cheap toys. I think I posted some of her inventions here. I’d post them again but I have the pictures in the other computer and I’m too lazy to turn on that computer. Maybe next time, eh? Anyway, a few weeks ago, she came across this experiment in her Science book where magnets are used. From then on she didn’t quit bugging her Dad until he got her some magnets so we could do the experiment. After doing the experiment, she of course started using her magnets in some of her ‘inventions’.

There’s not much she can do with just a few magnets so we have been looking for building toys where magnets are mainly used. She didn’t ask Santa for a lot of toys last Christmas but I came across magnet in usa products at a site I always check…Mega Brands. The toys at this site are educational and I’ve bought a couple from them so I know how good the qualities are. The magnetic building toys I’m planning in getting for her are the dinosaurs. I’m sure the little one will enjoy putting dinosaur replicas because she’s always been fascinated by them. They will be perfect for her birthday in a few months. I'd even enjoy building them myself.

L-O-S-T. I guess that about sums up how I'm feeling right now...with blogging anyway. I don't even know how to start this post. 😕 It's been almost 2 years since I last posted. It's not that I have nothing to write about. I have plenty but I seem to have lost interest in blogging. I thought  at first that it was just a phase. I thought it would only last for a few days but days turned into weeks then months then years and I still haven't blogged. Nothing sparked my interest to blog so I just didn't. Not even paid posts lured me back. I even considered deleting it altogether. I felt like I'm wasting my money paying for the domain name. But I can't do it so I just keep on paying. I can't seem to let go of the domain 'Pinay Wahm' because I got it when not many Moms were able to make a living or earn in the comforts of home. I also have a lot of personal posts here that when I want to get details about something that happened in my life I can

When we visited my family in 2012 we didn't actually spend as much time as I would have liked with most of them. That's because we planned a road trip which took most of our time. Since we were on the road majority of the stay, we weren't able to spend as much time in my childhood home. During our recent trip, that's exactly what we did. We spent a lot of time in my childhood home. We actually stayed home too much that we got bored after a while. But it was somehow an 'eye opener' for me as well as my significant other. On his part, he was finally able to experience 'real summer' back there. Both trips happened in April. But since we were in an air-conditioned car most of the time during our 2012 trip, we didn't really feel how hot it was. This time around, the air-con was only in our room. As soon as we stepped outside, it's hot. As a result, the AC in our room stayed on the whole day because it served as a reprieve from the heat. Every time

Finally finished the project I started a couple of months ago...at least. Now I'm a happy [and a bit sore] camper. I finished putting the mulch this morning mainly because I don't want to give the weeds another chance to invade the flower beds again...at least for a few months anyway. I think I had to pull out weeds twice before to prepare them for the mulch. I thought hubby would have the chance to put it down but his work just wouldn't let him so I decided to do it myself a few weeks ago. So why did it take me weeks to finish 2 and a half flower beds? I was just taking my time I guess. There was no hurry so I took my time. Now that I'm done with that 'project' I'm off to continue another one that I started about 2 weeks ago...decluttering my home office. The weather here is as unpredictable as...the weather? Last week it was raining almost everyday as predicted by the meteorologists around here. The time the rain would fall was the unpredictable part tho
