Recently, I am getting fond of shopping at nearby dollar shops. We also call dollar shops 'reject shops' as some of the products they sell are rejected due to not having passed the manufacturer's quality standards. But one...

alicia812 Hi there. Even here in our suburb dollar shops and discount stores are multiplying in numbers. This was compared to the numbers of such stores 9 years ago when I first came here. Thanks for responding.

alicia812 I absolutely agree that with kids all we, moms, want and need to do is save every single cents we can. I think I'm just starting to really learn how to be wise with my purchases and saving a lot. Thanks for the response.

I just had a coffee and chat with my girl-friend a while ago. This is one thing that I enjoy doing once-in-a-blue-moon. Catching up with each other's lives and activities makes friendship stronger and more meanl. It was a...

alicia812 I agree with you, distance makes the bond stronger among friends where the friendship and loving is real. I miss my friends in my home country. Since I am living overseas now I feel like I am missing a lot of time and fun with them. Thanks for the...

alicia812 Wow! That's a great idea: a vacation with friends. It's just that as a busy wife and mom, it's so impossible for me. I used to do this when I was much younger and single. Thanks for the response.

Every mother knows this. The difference with me is that I really stick to this concept so strictly. For me, it is my principle. If my husband wants to go out for a dinner date with me, I oftentimes tell him that it is not my...

alicia812 Hi maxzo11. It is really a sacrifice being a parent. You are lucky though that you have your mother nearby. My mom is in Manila and I am here in Sydney, far away from my parents and siblings. Most of the times I have to rely on myself. Although I grew...

alicia812 I understand what you were saying. Sometimes they are not the best but I think that's how we learn to make and cook it better next time. That BBQ and plain rice experiment sounds interesting. It is somehow similar to the Mongolian Barbeque though they...

alicia812 Hi jsae29. You are right. Thanks for reminding me that we also have to find time to spend with our husband. Most of the times, I think, busy wives and moms like us really need to be patted at the back and be reminded of these things. "...or else he...
