Treasure Jar

We bought the children new beds and new foams at the beginning of the year. They are complaining the foams are not as soft as the foams they use to have so I decided to look for other alternative and saw foams (click here by the way) that look comfortable and not to mention, not too expensive.

Some of the older foams we had were given to our yard cleaning lady for her use.

There are still two foams but these will be used next week when family relations will be visiting next week at my mother-in-law’s home for a grand family affair. I don’t want these back in our house when they go back to their homes 😀

Teens are savvy shoppers? Teens love jewelry and clothes, and not just the girls but the guys too. There are those who love to buy make-up too. Most of them buy with care especially if they saved for it. So yeah, I think they are savvy shoppers, judging the way my eldest daughter inspects the clothes she wants to buy and taking her sweet time doing the inspection.

As for jewelry, they like either the simple ones of the outrageous ones. My daughters save their money to buy jewelry. No, not the expensive ones but more like something they like in relation to a favorite movie or book. The youngest daughter just got a necklace with the Golden Snitch as a pendant.

I’m sure this site will be like a treasure trove to both of them:D
