My Green Living Ideas

Enjoining everyone to turn green and to help save Mother Earth, this blog by Ria never runs out of green living tips. Mother Earth is the only habitable planet we have and it is imperative for us to do our part in protecting it from destruction. Through her blog, Ria provides us with plenty of ideas for green living and more environment-friendly alternatives to products we have been using.

My Painted Lips

Like most women who’ve suddenly found themselves lugging around baby bags with wipes, diapers, and other baby stuff instead of dainty handbags with the latest beauty products, I have also meandered into the role of mother, wife and househelp. With the many roles I play, time for beauty rituals is virtually non-existent. Pehpot, the woman behind My Painted Lips, inspires me to stay beautiful despite the countless chores that need to be done at home. A swipe of lipstick is all I need to feel good and beautiful and perform my many roles with a smile on face.

The Pepperrific Life

Being a wife and a mother is not an easy task. Let alone being a mother raising a child all on her own. But all this Pepper takes in stride and this is evident in how she injects humor in her blog posts. She may be young still but her insights are rich and I do learn a lot about life and motherhood from her.

Levyousa

Need some positive vibes to make you forget about the many worries that beset you in the homefront? Levy’s blog is sure to put a smile on your face. Her cheerful demeanor is reflected in her humorous posts. When I find myself stressed and fatigued, I go visit her blog to de-stress and re-charge.

The Tottering Mama

Here’s one proud mom who shares the many activities they do at home and outdoors with their toddlers. Olga chronicles the development of her two toddlers and shares tips and ideas for keeping children busy at home. Aside from these, there are also free printable worksheets that are most useful to parents who have young children.

The Bloggers Journal

I’ve been blogging for quite some time already but I find that there is still much to learn about this craft. The Bloggers Journal is a very informative site that provides me with more knowledge. Willa presents tutorials for many different blogging applications. Her instructions are easy to understand and are not intimidating to those who are not technically inclined.

Notepad Corner

It really is very difficult to juggle the many roles I play at home but Mommy Joy makes it easier to handle all that needs to be done with her many valuable tips about running the house, being a mother, and being a housewife. She really is an expert in her field.

Certified Foodies

I’m a visual person and have better comprehension when pictures accompany whatever it is I’m trying to learn. Mhel and Ken provide clear photos of every procedure in their recipes making it easy for me to follow each step. They also make my mouth water with the visually enticing pictures of gastronomic delights they recommend to their readers.

Mommy Survival

Ellen equips us moms with the tools (and tricks) to survive the jungle that we call home. Motherhood really is the toughest job ever and we all need help and support from other moms. Through Mommy Survival, I learn how to keep tough and keep things organized here at home.

Mom Writes

If I were to choose a most influential blogger, Mommy Rubz would be on top of the list. She has helped many bloggers make a mark for themselves through her many blogs and hosting services. Here at Mom Writes, she shows us another facet – that of being a proud mom and dutiful wife. Read her blog and be blessed with her stories about overcoming life’s obstacles and being thankful for the blessings you receive.

Now, it’s time to head off to their blogs and see why I’ve chosen them as my Kreativ Bloggers.

Yes, I will soon say goodbye again to this layout and I will have my very own. I am soooooooo excited! Finally, Gis is no longer loaded with work and she can already make one for me, yey! I already saw the initial sketch she provide…oh, I wish I can post it but I forgot to ask for her permission while I am writing this entry. Anyways, I am soo happy and excited and I can’t wait for it to be finished. I will definitely love this blog even more

On the busy side, I am working on MJ’s 7th Birthday album. If you can still remember, hubby turned out to be the official photographer of the event and I am making the album. Well, our initial plan is to cover children’s birthday parties. Hubby being the photographer and I, the layout artist…hahahah! I am not that expert but my scraps are helping me a bit on the challenge. I’ve used the template for the May Template Challenge in OSS.

I am supporting hubby in his pursuit to learn photography. Guess, we need to be working hard to pay for the accessories needed for the camera.

The first award is Marie Antoinette Award. Am I a queen like her? Well, at least at home, yes. I have been promoted from being a princess at home to being a queen of my own home. You see it right, our own home. We just bought our unit last November 2008 and it is now ours. Finally, a home I can call mine

Queen Marie Antoinette, is the epitome of real, fun, fearless woman who is never afraid of getting what she wants. And just like her, I am not afraid to get what I want and I work hard for the things I desire. I would like to pass this award to Thea, Fedhz, Pehpot and Leah.

The other award is the Neno’s Award – a dedication to those who love blogging and love encouraging friendship through blogging which I want to pass on to Jan, Eric , Jed and Mara. My new found friends through blogging.

I am very thankful to you Bingkee, for giving these to me. So happy to have you as a friend and I say more power to our sites!
