Moving House....Moving On

In barely a month's time, we will be moving to a new apartment. It is a two-bedroom property with three full baths and a hall. We have decided to let go of all our furniture and start all over. After all, whatever we have right now, were bought four years ago. I feel sad as these were all witness to our struggles and glory but sometimes you have to let go so you can start anew.

Calculating everything we need to buy which basically includes three bedroom set, three shower curtains, dining room and  living room set, we are looking on ways to save. The living room has a floor to ceiling glass window so we are definitely on the lookout for some Cheap Vertical Blinds to provide some privacy. 

I am excited yet a little anxious as my interior design skills  will be put to test, yay! Though I love clothes and fashion, I've always secretly wanted to be an interior designer ((^_^)).

Tired from long walk, sat down at a bar for an afternoon panini. These foccacia (flat oven-baked Italian bread) masks were amusing to see opposite our table.

I Won A Free Template!

I've been blogging for almost five years now, trying to document our life as expatriate family in Dubai. I am very thankful for this hobby because I get to make new friends online. I meet a lot of fellow blogging Moms out there who also has a very limited social life due to chores at home. When it gets lonely here in the desert, I simply visit other blogs and for awhile I do not feel so alone anymore.

I currently own two blogs, one for personal and one for fashion. Last week, Mommy Chris informed me that I won a free template through her Thanksgiving Blog Contest (just one of the many perks of blogging). I was  very delighted because as I read more on  website development, I learned that to get more traffic,  it it very important that your blog should be as unique as possible - starting with the header. I felt guilty because even though I bought my own domain,  I  always use the free templates available. When I started to ask around, it costs around 30USD to 50 USD. I started to save up for it but when I learned about the contest and the prizes, I wasted no time to join.

I'm very thankful that I won because February also happens to be my birthday month. ((^_^))
