Saving Up!

Last year I bought a piggy bank for Carly to keep the money that me and my hubby received and going to receive from Christmas and birthday's. I save up all this money for her college education, I start saving up early for her in that way when she reach eighteen hopefully we have saved enough for her to spend to go to college.

 

CARLY'S PIGGY BANK

 I just want to put it in a piggy bank for now because I want to wait maybe a year or less than that to open a bank account for her where we can add money every month for her savings.

But her daddy is very anxious to open her piggy bank and count the money in it and open a bank account very soon but I said just wait it might not have enough in there. I don't think he can wait for a year  because he said it's not safe to keep a cash in the house because you'll never know somebody might break in.( I hope not we do have security alarm though but still scary thinking about it).

 

ROSE'S PURSE BANK

Yesterday I bought one for myself it's a purse bank, I saw this pretty purse in the store so I bought it. I will put some money in there that I earn from my crafts and other stuff that I make money out of for my vacation going back home someday. When I saw it on the shelve in the store I'm thinking oh wow this is perfect for my vacation savings, If I saw a luggage bank I could have buy one too ha-ha so that I can put more coins in it.

 

I know some people don't use piggy banks anymore this days because there are real banks now where you can keep your money with interest plus it's safer but for me I'm still using it because whenever I have a change I just drop it in there, safer also for my toddler that everything goes in the mouth when she see small things.And when it's full I'll take it to the coin machine that you can find in some grocery store and change it into a bill.

 

How about you guys do you have a piggy bank at home? Where do you keep all your coins?

 

 

Seven Monthsary

 

Happy Seven month carly

 

 

My little one is seven month old today, thank GOD for the good health and for all the blessings she's a very healthy baby.

 

 

So I made seven cupcakes for her today with a minion character on it.(source:nerdy nummies)

 

 

 

 

I think she loves it,(carly:mommy is this all for me?can I have some?oh yeah I can put it in my mouth.)but before she put it her mouth mommy come to the rescue can't eat cupcake yet honey.

 

 

 

Oh no there's an icing on my fingers,I swear mom I d'dnt hide anything I just want to wipe it on my back lol. Its a big day for her doing all that stuff and picture taking of course that make her fall asleep afterwards.

 

 

Just wanna share my Little Pumpkin here, Thanks for the visit and have a nice day everyone.



Christmas Lights

Christmas lights are lights used for decoration around Christmas. The custom goes back to the use of candles to decorate the Christmas tree in upper-class homes in 18th-century Germany. Christmas trees displayed publicly and illuminated with electric lights became popular in the early 20th century. By the mid-20th century, it became customary to display strings of electric lights as along streets and on buildings Christmas decorations detached from the Christmas tree itself. In the United States, it became popular to outline private homes with such Christmas lights in tract housing beginning in the 1960s. By the late 20th century, the custom had also been adopted in non-western countries, notably in Japan.

 

The Christmas tree was adopted in upper-class homes in 18th-century Germany, where it was occasionally decorated with candles, which at the time was a comparatively expensive light source. Candles for the tree were glued with melted wax to a tree branch or attached by pins. Around 1890, candleholders were first used for Christmas candles. Between 1902 and 1914, small lanterns and glass balls to hold the candles started to be used. Early electric Christmas lights were introduced with electrification, beginning in the 1880s.(source:wikipedia-christmas)

 

 

I just finished putting up my Christmas lights today on the bush outside my house.

 

 

 

This is how it turned out. Its not very fancy but I think its pretty cool. We are the first ones who put up lights in our neighborhood. Others are waiting for Thanksgiving before they put up theirs. I'm just so excited decorating my house, so now I'm ready for Christmas.

 

HOW ABOUT YOU GUYS, DID YOU DECORATE YOUR HOUSE YET?



snow..snow..snow..

Who Love's Snow?

Snow is made from big purple clouds and when it falls it falls hard like bubble gum precipitation in the form of flakes of crystalline water ice that falls from clouds. Since snow is composed of small ice particles, it is a granular material. It has an open and therefore soft structure, unless subjected to external pressure. Snowflakes come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Types that fall in the form of a ball due to melting and refreezing, rather than a flake, are known as hail, ice pellets or snow grains.
The process of precipitating snow is called snowfall. Snowfall tends to form within regions of upward movement of air around a type of low-pressure system known as an extratropical cyclone. Snow can fall poleward of these systems' associated warm fronts and within their comma head precipitation patterns (called such due to the comma-like shape of the cloud and precipitation pattern around the poleward and west sides of extratropical cyclones). Where relatively warm water bodies are present, for example because of water evaporation from lakes, lake-effect snowfall becomes a concern downwind of the warm lakes within the cold cyclonic flow around the backside of extratropical cyclones. Lake-effect snowfall can be heavy locally. Thundersnow is possible within a cyclone's comma head and within lake effect precipitation bands. In mountainous areas, heavy snow is possible where upslope flow is maximized within windward sides of the terrain at elevation, if the atmosphere is cold enough. Snowfall amount and its related liquid equivalent precipitation amount are measured using a variety of different rain gauges.
 Once on the ground, snow can be categorized as powdery when light and fluffy, fresh when recent but heavier, granular when it begins the cycle of melting and refreezing, and eventually ice once it comes down, after multiple melting and refreezing cycles, into a dense mass called snow pack. When powdery, snow moves with the wind from the location where it originally landed, forming deposits called snowdrifts that may have a depth of several meters. After attaching itself to hillsides, blown snow can evolve into a snow slab—an avalanche hazard on steep slopes. The existence of a snowpack keeps temperatures lower than they would be otherwise, as the whiteness of the snow reflects most sunlight, and any absorbed heat goes into melting the snow rather than increasing its temperature. The water equivalent of snowfall is measured to monitor how much liquid is available to flood rivers from meltwater that will occur during the following spring. Snow cover can protect crops from extreme cold. If snowfall stays on the ground for a series of years uninterrupted, the snowpack develops into a mass of ice called glacier. Fresh snow absorbs sound, lowering ambient noise over a landscape because the trapped air between snowflakes attenuates vibration. These acoustic qualities quickly minimize and reverse, once a layer of freezing rain falls on top of snow cover. Walking across snowfall produces a squeaking sound at low temperatures.
The energy balance of the snowpack itself is dictated by several heat exchange processes. The snowpack absorbs solar shortwave radiation that is partially blocked by cloud cover and reflected by snow surface. A long-wave heat exchange takes place between the snowpack and its surrounding environment that includes overlying air mass, tree cover and clouds. Heat exchange takes place by convection between the snowpack and the overlaying air mass, and it is governed by the temperature gradient and wind speed. Moisture exchange between the snowpack and the overlying air mass is accompanied by latent heat transfer that is influenced by vapor pressure gradient and air wind. Rain on snow can add significant amounts of thermal energy to the snowpack. A generally insignificant heat exchange takes place by conduction between the snowpack and the ground. The small temperature change from before to after a snowfall is a result of the heat transfer between the snowpack and the air.^[1] As snow degrades, its surface can develop characteristic ablation textures such as suncups or penitentes.
The term snow storm can describe a heavy snowfall, while a blizzard involves snow and wind, obscuring visibility. Snow shower is a term for an intermittent snowfall, while flurry is used for very light, brief snowfalls. Snow can fall more than a meter at a time during a single storm in flat areas, and meters at a time in rugged terrain, such as mountains. When snow falls in significant quantities, travel by foot, car, airplane and other means becomes severely restricted, but other methods of mobility become possible, such as the use of snowmobiles, snowshoes and skis. When heavy snow occurs early in the fall (or, on rarer occasions, late in the spring), significant damage can occur to trees still in leaf. Areas with significant snow each year can store the winter snow within an ice house, which can be used to cool structures during the following summer. A variation on snow has been observed on Venus, though composed of metallic compounds and occurring at a substantially higher temperature.(source:wikipedia-snow)

 

 

 

Here's our first snow of the year, isn't that pretty? but boy it is very cold so take out all your winter clothes and bundled up.

 

 

 

 

My little one first experience on the snow, hhmm I don't think she like it.(mommy what is this aaahhh very cold lol.)I let her try to make snow angel :)

 

 

 

It was a fun day for me and especially to my little one to let her experience  her first snow ever, I just cant pass not to take her out that day and enjoy it coz in the later afternoon the snow melts down. I'm just glad I took a bunch of pictures before it melts down although she don't like it on the first time but eventually she will get use to it coz I'm sure there is more coming up in this winter season. Thanks everyone for the visit! Have a nice day.



Carly's Milestone



It was six month ago when I had my baby. I cant imagine how the days go so fast.

 

Here she is when she was a MONTH old.

 

TWO MONTHS, Look so serious.

 

Very smiley when she was THREE MONTHS

 

FOUR MONTHS, Found her tongue
She likes to stick her tongue out at this time.
 



FIVE MONTHS, This time she found her feet
She likes to play with her feet and use it as a pacifier sometime ha ha.

 

 

Now she's SIX MONTHS and counting, She look so big already. Its so neat to see how she changes every month and notice the things that she learned. This time she love screaming its so cute she make us laugh all the time, She's a happy baby and very friendly she just use her killer smile to capture peoples heart which is adorable coz at her young age she already had sense of humor that makes mommy proud. I Love You Baby Carly, You are so precious to me!

 



      

Halloween Bow

Halloween Bow

This bow is made of poly ribbon which is cut individually. You will need a scissor, 3/4 inch width black ribbon,1/2 inch width orange ribbon, tape measure, and a transparent tape.

You will need 700 centimeters of black ribbon and cut it into 100 cm individually. It will be 7 pieces of ribbon with 100 cm long, then cut each piece into 4 (cut in half and then the other half cut in half again)repeat procedure until you cut all 7 pieces. After cutting it will become 28 pieces of ribbon with 25 cm long. Use the tape to stick the end of the ribbon to the other end to make it bend, repeat procedure until you taped all 28 pieces.

Draw a circle in a cardboard using a lid of a bottle or any lids that is round to make a perfect circle. Sizes of the circle varies how big the bow your making. Then cut it out and use it as a base of your bow.

 

Now take the taped ribbon and stick it around the edge of the base to assemble a bow, repeat procedure until you cover the base with 28 pieces of taped ribbons.

 

Then now you need 200 centimeters of orange ribbon cut it into 12 pieces it will be 14 centimeters long in each piece. Then cut the tip of each piece with scissor couple times to make a fringe, then tape the other end to the bow, just place it on the bow where ever you want it to be. 

 

The size of this bow is 11 and a 1/2 inches perfect for house decoration especially Halloween is coming up. All you have to do is cut an orange crepe paper streamer,( you can buy crepe paper streamer in the store ).Cut it long enough depends how wide is your ceiling, Cut 8 pieces of crepe paper in the same length and stick them on the center of the ceiling using thumb nail to stay in place. Then twist each piece couple times  and spread it out to the ceiling and use masking tape to stick it to the ceiling according to the distance that you like.

 

 

Now place the bow on the center of the streamer.

There you have a Halloween decoration in your house with Halloween bow. HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE.. Hope you learn and enjoy making it in your home. (Source by: Rosegen Yeager).
