Some have Troubles Getting Pregnant

It took hubby and I  almost two years before  conceiving our first baby.  I thought that I would never get pregnant because I was already in my 30s when I got married.  

It is a wonderful ride when you decide to start your own family. However, not every woman is as lucky as other women that get pregnant right away. Even some healthy women are having a difficult time getting pregnant. Have you ever asked yourself this question-  Why can't I get pregnant if I have regular periods and live a healthy lifestyle? When you can't get pregnant, and things look good from the outside, it can be extremely frustrating.

You and your partner may seem to be in perfect health but that doesn't mean you're guaranteed perfect results when trying to get pregnant. The reasons for infertility aren't always visible and observable to people. According to www.pregnancytips.org, one of the underlying factors of infertility for healthy women is ovulation problems. Many women do not realize that they have ovulation issues. Ovulation can take place without a menstrual period, and a menstrual period can happen without ovulation occurring. Many women can appear to be very healthy, and have great health in other aspects, but ovulation problems might still be happening.

Levi's Jeans and a Poof Girl Top

 I seldom buy Levi's jeans because it is expensive but my goal is to  to buy one one sale every year.  Last year, I was able to snag a pair for only $12.99 at Macy's and this year, I found one again at the kid's section lol.  I was looking for new jeans for our daughter when I spotted the white  Levi's jeans in size 16.  I thought, why not try it and it might just fit me, and voila, it did!

 I also found an extra large size top (still in kids section) that fits well on me.  Both of these were on sale which made me so happy.  I seldom shop clothes for me but when I find some great deal, I can't pass them.

Use this holiday gift guide to find the perfect present for all the men on your list this year. There are gifts that fit any budget and are great for any personality.

Apparel

High quality clothing and accessories always make great gifts. Even if the recipient isn’t particularly concerned with sporting all the latest styles, a simple leather belt or wallet is a useful addition to any wardrobe. For the guy more attuned to the latest trends, consider an online consultation with a professional stylist. For a flat fee, a stylist will choose some items to ship to your recipient. He only has to pay for the ones he decides to keep.

Kitchen Gadgets

There are lots of items to make cooking and grilling easier, or at least more stylish. Among the unique food and drink items available for guys are meat brands for leaving an indelible stamp on meat on the grill. If your guy’s more a fan of fine drinks, consider an automatic beer foamer for getting that perfect head on every glass.

Tech Items

Tech gadgets make great gifts because they’re fun in addition to being useful. The best part is that there are gadgets available in every price range. For example, if you can’t afford a new iPod for the music-loving recipient on your list, get a pair of noise-canceling headphones instead. 

Sporting Goods

Check the official store of your recipient’s favorite team to find a great selection of clothing, memorabilia, and other gifts. Even if your guy already has a good selection of shirts and hats from his favorite team, check the team store for unique, one-of-a-kind gift that is sure to be a conversation starter as well as a way of showing team spirit.

Collectibles

Toys and other collectibles aren’t just for kids anymore. If you know your recipient’s favorite tv show or movie, look around for merchandise or memorabilia related to it. There are sure to be some fun figures or other items for collectors or all ages, and you may even find a totally unique prop or other item that was used on the set for sale.

With so many unique gifts to choose from, you’re sure to be able to find something just right for every guy on your list.

Firework

Here's another event we attended before that  I neglected to post and I am not just getting around  posting it.  My family and the Howells family started   watching the firework display together.  We started the tradition since last year and we plan to keep doing it every year.  The night before we  went for our summer vacation in Ocean City, we watched the  Firework display in Weirton, together with our neighbor family/friends .  We headed there a little bit early to find a good spot to park since it is always  packed with  cars and people at the venue.

 While waiting for the Howells, I got the chance to take  pictures of my silly daughter.

 While we were waiting for the firework display to start, we   took some photos of us.

Here are some of the snaps for the firework.

 

The moon  have provided a much better lighting  after the firework was over.  It was another great bonding with the Howells family.  We  look forward to do this again next year.  

Body Sculpt

I got this  new 30-minute slim down body sculpt DVD  for free from Listia.  I have been doing this  since last week  and it would really make you sweat and get on your feet.  I  haven't work out this  week though because I got my period  which isn't nice.    I think I'll start again next week. 

This DVD has Yoga Stretches,  Stress Stretches, and more.  I have two left feet so I am kind of thrown off with the steps sometimes but with few practice, I will get all the steps right (I hope) lol.  What is important is for me to  keep moving.  Sitting down a lot of times in my computer chair is what giving me this big  fat in my tummy.  I haven't use this in a long time but I have been doing  planks and I can  actually see a big difference already.

I scored the Rue21 top I am wearing for only $5.  I thought it's a steal!
