Blogging Mama

Archive for the ‘gratitude’ Category

My aunt from the US went to Cagayan de Oro City, our home town last November 24, 2009. She stayed there for almost a month. She brought with her many gifts for all the whole family.

As for her gift to my family, we got a lot of goodies. One of my favorites is the set of vitamins I got. As a blogger who works from 12mn till morning and a mom who breastfeeds, I think I need a lot of health supplements to cope up. Thank God for Auntie!

Anyway, I am planning to save up for next year’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale in the US. I am planning to ask my aunt and best friend to buy some good deals for me. So when they come home, they can bring them thus saving from shipping expenses.

Just out of the blue, I have decided to have a children’s party in our neighborhood. It’s a short of thanksgiving to God for the blessings He has poured to my family and my work online. So, this is my way of paying forward for God’s kindness to me and my family.

I am not planning of any extravagant party. Maybe a few games and some deliciously cooked spaghetti with drinks would be enough to bring cheer to children. I am also planning to put up cardboard displays with letters and decorations at our gate which will serve as our stage.

Anyway, we haven’t decided what time and day the party would be since these children have family agendas too but definitely it will happen before the year ends. Wish us luck!

I received my first Google Adsense payment today. It is not that big but finally I have received what I have earned from them. Below is a snap shot of my payment:

After receiving my first payout, I treated my family to a swimming escapades at Palmas del Mar Beach and Hotel. You can view the photos of our family day HERE.
