Holiday Feasts Food Gifts and Chef's Tips

So the Holiday is really just around the corner. Aside from gift shopping, the early Christmas preparations a housemaker usually does are learning new recipes for the Holiday Feasts and browsing for a comprehensive colon cleanse review to go with it.

Want to learn new recipes and menus to cook for Noche Buena and Media Noche feasting? Then this culinary demonstration organized by San Miguel Great Food Club and The Podium is a must attend activity.

Breastfeeding

We'll be attending a close friend's wedding by the end of the month. Then the week after, we'll witness another High School friend's wedding. Celebrations such as these will mean get togethers and I'm pretty sure that friends whom I haven't seen in a while will comment how I look skinnier as ever. For the nth time, I'll be asked if I'm taking appetite suppressants or those sorts. I can already picture their startled look when I answer back that I'm still breastfeeding my 20 month old son. It has always been like this...I don't know if they're surprised how breastfeeding can be a great slimming regimen or are they surprised why I breastfeed at such a long time. They perhaps don't believe that breastfeeding is really best for babies until two years and beyond.

Artscow Printing

Printing pictures is one of the things that I've been putting off for so long. With the tons of unprinted pictures stored in our hard drives, I think I need to allot a day off my hectic life just to upload and have them ordered at Artscow. I can't even remember which batch of Asher's pictures were printed last. Speaking of Artscow, I haven't also resumed digiscrapping his first birthday photobook. Yikes! I know, this laziness has to stop before he turns 2 in less than four months.

Disney Holiday Trips.

December is just a few weeks away and as early as now I could already feel that it'll be one busy month. A number of my online friends have already booked their Holiday travels. Almost everyone's heading to Hong Kong and bound to experience Disneyland! Perhaps it'll be Orlando apartments that they are booking if only United States is nearer. After all, the first Disneyland theme park is located there. But nevertheless, a lot still wants to visit the one in Hong Kong since it's relatively nearer, much cheaper and newer.

Health Insurance.

We proved how important it is to have a health insurance last year. Little A and I had quite a number of hospital trips so I can't just imagine how much the hospital bills could have holed our wallets big time if we didn't have a health card. I gave birth, I underwent a cholecystectomy surgery to remove my gall stones then the little one was hospitalized due to bronchial asthma before the year ended. We're really thankful that my husband's employer provides this health benefit to its employees and their dependents. It's just sad that dependents aren't qualified for the maternity benefit just like the Blue Advantage package offers. Nevertheless, we're still lucky because we are covered in case something unfortunate happens to us health wise.
