Roses are red, my love...🎵 Seeing the roses blooming in the rain made my heart skip a beat and hum the old tune. I was tempted to sing out loud, but someone was walking down the street (the hubby refers

The hubby drove to the Lil Kingdom this morning to check on things. I opted to stay since the wet weather isn't to our liking, lol! Besides, I want a quiet time. Initially, I thought of spending the day

"Oh my, you played with tissue again?" I exclaimed on seeing the shredded whites on the sofa, and a few more on the floor. The LilGuy groaned and looked at me as if saying, "That wasn't

Muscles aching a bit, runny nose, bitter taste in the mouth, heavy, sore throat, and a bit of coughing. It started with a headache the other day. A mild bug has caught up with me, it seems. Thankfully,

We were in the neighboring town yesterday for errands, an oil change service, and maintenance. The car's registration renewal is approaching, and we had to make sure everything is in order (above standard)

Magandang buhay💛 'Tis a sunny Monday in DD, yay! Three laid-back days went by, and today should be different. My muscles are already aching to get active after being idle for quite a while. A physical
