share the love
This award is extra special because Crystal created it in honor of the donor who saved her sons life. Her son Noah had to have a heart transplant when he was just over a month old. This award is supposed to help raise awareness of the importance of organ donation.
So, here are the rules Crystal gave:
“The rules of this award are: SHARE THE LOVE!!! Share this award with all those blogs out there that you love. All the people who make you smile. All those that make you laugh. All those that make your day. All those that leave uplifting comments on your blog. **All I ask, is that you include a link to this post with the award and ask your recipient to do the same**
As you may have recently seen on my side bar, I have finally created a custom blog award!! I have wanted to do this for a long time but never came up with something that “fit”. I didn’t want just anything. It had to be something that meant something to me. And what could mean more than Sharing the Love by giving you pieces of my heart?? So I created this award in Honor Of The Donor That Saved Noah’s Life. I share this award with those of you whose love and friendship have enriched my life and made my world a better place.
I hope by passing this award around the blogging world we can all help raise awareness of the need for Organ Donation.”

What I Love Most About Being a Mom.
1. having the most special feeling after the traumatic giving birth moment... seeing my daughter was my happiest.
2. receiving hugs and kisses in the most unexpected times, even when I am so mad, Olin will just approach me and would love (hug) and kisses me-- with lips so pouted! the cutest!

3. being treated well during Mother's day and almost everyday.... the husband appreciates me-- being a good mother and all :)
4. memorizing and reciting nursery rhymes, abc's and counting 1-10 before bedtime and in the morning.

5. having the next child superstar -- with all the dancing and singing and tricks being done in front of you.
6. having someone who enjoys the sound of the rain -giggles and all-
7. having a little human embraces you in the middle of my sleep...

On Rainy Days
here it goes...
1. Complete this sentence.
I hate it when it rains because I cannot wear pants when going out for it well surely get wet!
2. My number one comfort food during rainy days is: Champorado or Lugaw with tokwa't baboy! oh so yummy!
3. What is the worst typhoon event you can remember (year and/or typhoon name) and why?
For me it was MILENYO... I saw how it damages a lot of properties in our area... tsk,tsk,tsk..
4. Were you allowed to play in the rain when you were a child? What was the experience like? Would you allow your kids to play in the rain?
Most of the time no. My mom only allows me if my neighborhood friends are already playing in the rain, when she sees me so green with envy! then she allows me... for a good fifteen minutes! kill joy! wahahaha
5. Is there something you and hubby love to do together on a rainy day? (c'mon 'fess up.we're all adults here.we could use some R-18 posts once in a while)
We both love rainy days! that is when we can cuddle all day, eat and sleep kind of thing. But when he has to work, I just focus on my handcrafted jewelry making, from glass and plastic beads -this was when I was pregnant. But now that we have a kid in tow, we three cuddled all day.

Best Jeans
The Best Jeans: Flat Behind
The key to going from flat to flattering is finding a pair of jeans with some Lycra or spandex for lift, wide-set back pockets to break up the turf back there, and embellished stitching to define roundness. Most important, stay away from stiff denim — it will
flatten your backside like a pancake!
The Best Jeans: Bubble Behind
Women with the coveted "bubble behind" have a not-so-coveted challenge: to find jeans that fit their derriere but don't gape at the waist. Jeans with a high waist and/or a contoured seam above the back pockets (instead of dipping, it should crest upward toward the waist) are most likely to hold in your curves. Also, choose a pair with some stretch for a sag-free fit.
The Best Jeans: No Behind
The trick to creating a backside where there really isn't one is to wear jeans with eye-catching posterior details, like flap or button pockets and multicolored designer stitching, which help give the illusion of a little junk in the trunk. Nana says, "These are so comfortable, and I love that my rear didn't get lost in them!"
The Best Jeans: Triangle Behind
A triangle behind (widest where your hips meet the thighs) is in need of some balance. The ideal pair of jeans is one made of a heavyweight denim with only a little stretch, to help round out the bottom of your derriere. Also, strategically placed pockets — ones that are on a diagonal or set high toward the waist — keep eyes focused on the center of your butt and not on your outer thighs to achieve balance.
The Best Jeans: Wide Behind
Rule No. 1 for making a wide posterior look great: Avoid wide-leg jeans, which cling to your widest point and nowhere else. Straight-leg or boot-cut shapes — with closely set pockets that draw eyes to the center — are better because they don't use too much fabric. Instead, they skim your curves, highlighting your best assets.
The Best Jeans: Low Behind
Ladies with low rear ends need a little lift. Look for slim-fit jeans — they give the illusion of a higher rear because they make legs look longer and sleeker. But avoid jeans with no back pockets — without distracting details, the jeans will make your posterior look lower (and bigger!) than it actually is.
Isn't so helpful? now we can review this article just before we go for denim shopping and everything will fit perfectly! :)
