A Day At The Mall With My Family

 

Buying additional baby stuffs at a known mall near our area, quite excites me and the tiny life inside of me.They say motherhood is a great honor and privilege, since not all women are blessed to conceived or carry a life inside their womb. Others say motherhood is also a choice, because you can also be a mom without having to conceive. That means you have the option to adopt a child, and it's your responsibility as mother to raise the kid as if he or she is your own. The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness, you become the servants of your child or children. You are no longer the center of your own universe and you relinquish that position to your children already. Everyday women are called upon to selflessly meet the needs of every family member. From the father to your children, it's so crazy how drastic even the small details change but in such an amazing way.

After 4 years, now, we are again expecting our second child. Thank God for this additional blessing in our family. It was always such a great feeling knowing that another life is growing with you for nine months. And you have to protect that life from the time you conceived it until they grow up and be independent enough to have their own family as well. Still, your work as a mom doesn't end there. I was sitting comfortably at the lounge area of the mall waiting for my husband and son while they buy something to drink, when I saw the balcony of a famous Italian restaurant. We often eat at that restaurant, since I have been craving for their great pasta and pastries. Now, they have added the Azalea trellis space dividers in fiberglass planter as their privacy screen, as well as, a space divider too.

I really think that these trellises space dividers are a cool additional outdoor design and attracts more customers to check out and visit their place. I think it is also practical to use the artificial flowers instead of the real ones, since, it could lower down their cost for maintenance and these  flowers do not wither and is always on season. It totally suited the exterior landscaping of the restaurant. When my husband and son arrived, we all decided to eat at our favorite Italian restaurant after buying the things our little baby needs.

Food As A Universal Language

They say that life indeed is very unpredictable. We really can't tell as to when we will be leaving this place. But the good thing is that we were given the chance to wake up everyday and be able to correct yesterday's mistake. Not only that, but another good thing is that we were given the chance to enjoy the perks of living. According to George Bernard Shaw, an Irish playwright, "there is no love sincerer than the love of food". That is also the main reason why, a lot of people spend more money in trying out different dishes and restaurant specialties. Food is usually the comfort zone and a good stress reliever of most people nowadays. Others might be looking after their weight, but, there are those who do not want to die without eating all the food they want.

There are many beneficial effects that certain foods have on our health. So we must choose carefully what we eat or drink. But, sometimes eating unhealthy foods is OK, as long as it is eaten in moderation. There is this friend of mine, which is my eating buddy. She would always send me a message or call me whenever she craves for something to eat. Last night, we went to a burger cafe near her place, it was our first time there. We would always pass by that cafe, but never had the chance to taste their dishes. The lighting was very good, it really compliments the interior decoration and they are aiming for a fine dining experience. They have seats outside for those who'd like a fresher air. They do have large wooden rustic planters lined outside with nice green plants that covers customers who sits outside. We have tried their best selling American burger which is good for two persons already and the Italian pasta with Ratatouille, and the healthy red tea drink which has pineapple juice added on it.

We left the restaurant with a happy tummy and we were both satisfied with the food and the service. We are already planning our next visit to that cafe. Hoping that they do have a milk tea next time we dine in. We should be thankful because not all of us are blessed and has the capacity or the money to buy food whenever we want it.

Appreciating Nature's Given Beauty

 

Humans need food in order to live and survive. It is also the same with plants, they need soil for them to be able to grow, but soil is just one of the many needs of the plants. Light, water, air, fertilizer are also the other components of a healthy growing plant. That is why they say having your own garden at home is such a tedious job, and it feels like you have another baby, because you have to make sure that these plants meets all their needs in order to survive. It was a challenge for me at first, when I started gardening. Ever since I was kid, I felt like I never had a green thumb not just because the flowers that I planted wither and die in a matter of days but because It was never my hobby back in the old days.

I could still remember, back in my grandmothers garden. She used to plant her favorite red roses in pots and then line them all in our patio. I never thought that after all these years, I would also do the same. But now, I'm planting these red roses in a carriage house premier composite planter, which is a more elegant and modern in design. Everything about the carriage house design and its construction from a premier composite material shouts of craftsmanship and attention to detail. Having your own garden and knowing that every plant in your garden is a fruit of your labor is such an overwhelming feeling. Not only you get to exercise everyday because of the maintenance that these plants need, but also you harvest and eat your own food that is free from chemical fertilizers.

Plants are everywhere around us, they take time and patience to grow. But seeing the outcome or the fruits of your labor is already an achievement. You are not only cleaning the air at home but in many ways helping the environment to protect and save our planet.
