Every two weeks we have our turtle aquarium cleanup. As you can see from the photo the water gets really dirty due to food leftovers (you can see a few in the photo) and other “leftovers”.

The water has to be removed with a manual vacuum or as we do now, with a water vacuum cleaner. We just suck the …

Before going to the mountain cabin we spend a whole day in the Zoo. We had to drive to the capital, find our way through the traffic to the Zoo, buy expensive Zoo tickets and there we go.

We had been there 5 years ago with Dani but as he was 4 at the time this was like a first time …

I posted about this Shoe Wheel on my Buy Better and Have a Better Life blog but I though about posting about it here too because this gadget can be very interesting to store our children shoes.

This seems to be very practical and easy to use.

Yesterday it was my first working day after my vacation and being whole day using the computer made my back pain worse. I had difficulty sleeping so this morning I got an appointment with my family doctor.

The diagnosis is almost done, the doctor told me that the pain on my back, especially left shoulder, is not caused by stress …

My vacation is over!

I’m glad we went to the Camping Park, we had a great time away from the traffic, busy streets, neighbors knocking at our door, malls and specially the house work.

This was our vacation house for 5 days. Two bedrooms, bathroom with shower, kitchen and living room, TV, fridge and a fan.

We spend a …

Today it will be the last day I will have access to Internet. Tomorrow morning we are leaving for a few days out of here, I’m really looking forward to it.

The Laptop will remain at home and my cell phone provider doesn’t provide Internet service so I won’t be able to check my email or read blogs.

I hope …

My kids were requesting it for a long time so last Friday we had a Circus in town and the three of us (dad is not very fond of Circus) were there. Dani went to the Circus five or six years ago but he doesn’t remember it so I can say this was the first time for both.

I was …

Big decision. As we have the beach 15 minutes away from here and we don’t have money to go to the south of the country where is warmer and better weather, we had decided to spend our vacation at home.

Camping was not on my plans, I have one very active kid and my daughter is only 4 so camping …

September is less than two months away as well as the time to renewal my host subscription.

Last year I was really reluctant to have my blogs on a paid host but after chatting with several bloggers about it and reading several blogs and forums I realized that own domains and own hosting for my blogs was the best choice. …

Really good news!!!!

Today my son did the scan to his axilla to check on the node he had and it is a normal node, called reactive node. The doctor said it was great that the node swelled because it was a sign that the body was defending itself from an infection or inflammation.

The node has perfect size and …

One of my problems that prevents me from going on a long car vacation is that my car is too old and has many problems. When I have to go somewhere far from where we live I’m always afraid that my car will break on the way. Renting a car has already crossed my mind.

Advantage Rent a Car is …
