Joined Postcard Enthusiasts Group in Facebook

I am a  travel blogger and I do surely love collecting postcards from all the places I visited.  I also joined some groups of postcrossers   in facebook. Members are  located worldwide. I would love o exchange postcards with any of them soon. For this reason, I am trying to search for cheap postcard printing where I can print all the photos I made from my travels.I guess printing my own postcards is cheaper.

The other week, I also sent some postcards to blogger friends. I hope they can receive it soon. Last week, I also receive from a blogger friend a postcard from the Philippines. I was so happy when I read  her messages on the postcard.

With these group of Postcard  Enthusiasts in facebook, I hope to send and receive postcards soon.

Pests in Our Home and Garden

This is not really a funny topic about pests in our home and garden. Are you having the same problem like ours? This is especially true especially if these pests are inside our homes. More on that, there are people who are afraid of pests such as flies, rats, ants, bees, snails, slugs, centipedes and the like.

This afternoon,  when I was working in our garden, I was so mad because there are a lot of slugs eating the leaves and flowers of my plants. I believed you are very familiar about this kind of pest which is a shell-less terrestrial gastropod mollusk. I already saw different kinds and colors of slugs in our garden.


scary slug in our garden.

Friend's Daughter Going to A Ballet Class

I believed this is one thing parents are so proud of, when their children have some talents and they want to improve it. I remember a good friend who sent  her daughter to a ballet class. That was so many years ago. I guess, 8 years ago. For parents who are looking for ballet clothing or to those who are planning to give presents to their kids or friend's daughters, you can find  ballet recital gifts here. This is one thing that is of advantage to everyone. You can already find and shop online with all the things you need.

I hope I can meet my friend again before they will leave Europe. Have a nice week  folks!

The making of Our Multi-purpose Garage


It was a lot of  hard work and patience as we built this  project. It is quite a huge area of almost 60 square meters. It is not only use as garage for our two cars but also a patio where you can sit back and relax during summer days. It is where we also held  gatherings, parties and celebrations. During winter time, we don't need to worry anymore because our cars are already under the roof and are now protected from snow.

I could still remember when we started digging the ground because we have to level it with the street. We hired a company who has a skip business to dig, store  and put away all the soils and stones in the area where the multi-purpose garage is located now.

Our multi-purpose garage is almost done.
 It was like building a house where you need to dig the foundations. You will surely need a skip to dump all the waste, soils and other materials.

We are very happy and contented with this project of ours.  There is only one more thing  we need to do. This year, we need to put  some sorts of clear  sidings or walls around it. Life  becomes  more easy and convenient when you have a beautiful place to stay. Right folks?

Right Clothes on Cold Rainy Days

Yes, its raining dogs and cats in our area! Just kidding folks! But the truth is, our weather is not really friendly the past days. It has been raining for weeks now and I am not happy about it. You need a good rain coat if you want to go walking under the rain. Hubby said Goretex Jacket is a good brand.  I have some rain coats but not this brand. I might be thinking of getting one.

I heard over the radio that many areas  in Bavaria are flooding right now due to continuous heavy rain the past days. Pity for those who are affected by this. I am thankful that we are doing fine.

If you are visiting Europe, be sure to have the right clothes with you. Wearing  clothes  which  are perfect  for the weather  will surely make your trip a happy one.

Visit to Mainau Island in Baden-Württemberg

I know for sure there are millions of flowers blooming again in Insel Mainau, the German name for Mainau Island. Spring flowers like tulips, narcissus and daffodils can still be found at this time of the year. Oceans of cheerful, sweet- scented, colourful spring flowers entice its outdoors again. From the end of March, more than a million tulips, narcissi and hyacinths line the Spring Avenue and fill the flowerbeds on Mainau Island.

The palace gardens at Mainau were mainly created by Lennart Bernadotte. This was taken during our visit last July  2012.
varieties of flowers can be seen in Insel Mainau especially during spring and summer season.
I always love visiting parks and garden like Mainau Island. Last summer 2012, I had the chance to go there with a bus trip. It costs 35.00 Euros per person starting in Regensburg, Germany but the boat and entrance to the island is not included in that trip. As far as I can remember, we paid almost 30.00 Euros for the entrance and boat ride going to the island.

That was a wonderful and relaxing walk we had around the island  seeing the beauty of nature.

My New Hiking Gadget

I went grocery shopping last week. This store where In always go to buy groceries has special items every week. In fact twice a week, every Monday and Thursday special products are offered from clothing to kitchen stuffs, garden tools and accessories, bedding and more. I did not found junonia plus size hiking pants but they have some hiking shoes and pants last week. I ended up buying a new hiking shoes because of its cheap price and quality. It is also very comfortable to my feet. I already tried wearing it last week and it is a good choice indeed.

When the weather gets better this week, I will surely go walking wearing my new  hiking shoes. I simply love it!
