I Will Start Today

At least this is what I always tell myself each time I look in front of the mirror and see my neck beginning to disappear and my arms and belly getting bigger and bigger. But each time I resolve to start to exercise, I have always postponed it, always seeming to find an excuse for not doing it: house chores, blogging, little Sam wanting my attention, and the list of excuses could go on and on. All of them LAME (of course!) because I know I can make it a regular routine if I just have the discipline to do it.

And I know I should stop procrastinating before it's too late! My doctor told me months back that I should have regular exercise because I have a fat liver. And surely, I don't want to get things worse. So maybe tomorrow I will start... :D

A Great Way To Spend Summer

Summer is officially here and one great way to keep the kids occupied, happy, and have fun is through Summer Camps. In summer camps, kids learn to interact with other kids, discover new things that they can never learn in the four corners of the classroom, and helps boost their self-confidence through different recreational activities.

I have always enjoyed camping when I was in my grade school days. The campfires fascinated me. Playing games with other children I have met for the first time was a new and fresh experience. It was a venue for me to learn independence and to value it. And it gained me new friends, developed my creativity and learned to read maps and signs. It also taught me how to take care of the environment and it helped me realize that one can live simply and still be happy.

These lessons I still bring with me to this day. And one day, when my little Samantha is big enough to participate in activities such as this, I would definitely support her and encourage her to join. For now, all I can do is wait and soon I will be able to tell her stories when she is a little bigger to understand things.

Visiting GREEN Switzerland!

I have always dreamed of visiting one of the most beautiful and environmentally friendly countries in the world, Switzerland. It doesn't matter which season because there will always be a special place to go to at different times of the year! And being a wanderlust and a lover of nature, exploring the Swiss countryside with its magnificent landscapes, organic food and eco-friendly hotels and restaurants suits me and the family perfectly.

This weekend, the family is planning to spend the weekend in Switzerland to visit friends. There are tons to do in this beautiful country and going to one of its many green meadows like the one in Thurgao or visiting one of its small charming villages will just be perfect! Hubby would also enjoy biking because there are many biking trails all over the country. And I would surely enjoy staying (and eating) in one of the restaurants that serve Swiss delicacies made from organic materials. Of course, a visit to one of its museums will make way for a better understanding of this country's history and how it came to be.

I know I will never get enough of this green country, Switzerland, which has implemented a green policy that allows its businesses to operate with a sustainable Switzerland in mind and that in turn translates to social responsibility. I would surely recommend visiting this country to my friends. It is a place where the air is fresh, the water is clean and the people are providing you with quality service. You enjoy your stay, and in the process, you learn how to take better care of the environment. Oh yes, Switzerland is just the place to be!
