Last Minute Gift Ideas

Published by

Hey lovely people, I hope you are all well. It has been a long time. My apologies for my absence. It has proven again that it has been the busiest year I have ever had since I started this blog. Hopefully, everything will go back to normal next year. I will get to share things here with you regularly.  Christmas is only eight days away. Can you believe it?! Where did the time go? Just in the blink of an eye. I hope you are all ready for your Christmas and New Year holiday. 🙂 For this year I knew I wouldn’t have a lot of time to go shopping for gifts. So I made a gift list and did online purchase. Still, last week I realised that I forgot to prepare a couple of gifts. So here you go, my last minute gift ideas.  Adopting a Dolphin. 🙂 Well. I didn’t mean that you need to adopt a real dolphin and bring it home. Only symbolically. Do you know you can go to Dolphin Research …

Mother’s day is just around the corner. I want to take the opportunity to wish all the mothers and mothers-to-be a very happy Mother’s day! Wish you enjoy a day full of love and happiness! xoxo I have had this idea to write a short post about my mom for a long time. This is probably the best timing to do it. She has been a great mom to me. She encourages, inspires and supports me in my whole life. I feel very blessed to have her as my mom and my best friend. Well, I am not gonna talk about how she has been a good mother to me. I want to tell you a short story about her retirement. 🙂 My mom is probably the most hard-working woman I have ever known (no exaggeration there!). She has dedicated all her time to our family and her job. At the age of 70, she finally convinced herself it was the time to retire. We had a little talk before she made the final decision. She was …

A short story of Leo

Published by

I have been really busy for the past few weeks. Lucky, I have all our three fur-kids to keep me company. We have two cats (Leo and Tigger) and one dog (Chico).  When Tigger and Chico joined our family, they were only 2 months old. Leo came much later. Before Leo was adopted by my stepdaughter, he lived in a foster home with many cats and dogs until he was over one year old. Unfortunately, my stepdaughter’s circumstances changed not long after Leo was adopted. She asked if we could have Leo. That’s how Leo joined our family. Leo is the oldest one among the three fur-kids. He is almost four years old now. Compare to Tigger, Leo was very wild when he just came. He didn’t like to stay inside and looked for any opportunity to escape. He trashed our toilet paper whenever he had a chance. When he was not happy, he would go pee on our bath mat and run away (naughty, naughty). These things didn’t worry us. However, he wouldn’t let us pet him. It …
