where I blog about the fun things I do to entertain myself…

Change of routine

By now, you should be feeling the temperature changes brought by autumn. Bye-bye warm days, say hello to chilly and foggy mornings. Does this mean a change in your routine? Do you still go biking, running or swimming in the cold? With enough warm clothing, you still should be able to do these activities, but [...]


To the forest we go!

Being on vacation, we should be prepared for any outdoor activity, and for that we have carried from Prague whatever we could. Talk of a kiddie outdoor inflatable pool, and we have it, brought all the way from our home! In fact, the two siblings are very much enjoying playing in it, with their cousins [...]


Swimming in summer

Summer is here! Expect a tide of people going to the beach and swimming pools to cool themselves, or just relax nearby. One resort that we pass by every Sunday have been getting there share of customers since the sun graced our land with its heat. Many people would go there, mostly to sun bathe. [...]


Music and kids

Last Christmas, my kids got various musical instruments from my friends and also from their grandmother. They now have a violin, a set of drums with mini-cymbals, marakas and flute. Sometimes, I take all these toys out and each of us would play the instruments, making music altogether. It’s quite fun! The kids love hearing [...]


a fine satur-day!

Yoohoo! How’s your weekend so far? Ours was great! We took the kids out for a walk coz it was a sunny day. The children’s laughter from the playground and the yelling from the mini soccer field downstairs means everybody is enjoying the nice day. The construction nearby was on break so no engineering jobs [...]

As a busy parent, I do long for those days where I could treat myself to some “me-time”. For me, a relaxing treat could be as simple as an uninterrupted sleep or reading my favorite book. How about you, what fun ways do you do to relax? Here are some suggestions I can think of: [...]


keeping myself busy

Oh my! It’s a cold Monday today. It’s like Mother Nature is reminding us that the cold months are soon to come! That suffix “ber” in the months September, October, November and December actually means brrrrrrrrrr (it’s cold!). Hehehe It’s a few months away from Christmas too which is another reminder for me to slowly [...]


camping sites for free

Now that summer is only weeks away and with the weather getting warmer and warmer, the call to enjoy outdoors can’t be ignored anymore. Most people here in CZ are out during weekends, going to their country-side cottages or to camping sites near rivers. For those who don’t own cottages, or may not have much [...]


fun times with barney

Barney, the lovable and friendly purple dinosaur is not unknown to kids especially toddlers. My nieces and nephews used to love watching him but they’ve grown up and have shifted their interest to Cartoon Network and Disney Channel. I’m reviving the fun times I used to have watching those Barney shows with them by watching [...]


i got an invitation

An unexpected message popped out from my YM earlier. It was L inviting me for a small party she’s throwing out at her place tomorrow. The usual bunch of eaters, errr girlfriends will be there and also their husbands. I’m still unsure whether to go or not. I don’t like going out when the weather’s [...]
