Sink or Swim

I’ve never tried a Wholesale Insurance package but after a friend told me how I can save money on premiums, I’ve decided to revisit this idea. Although our premiums for each of our insurance packages aren’t really that high, once you sum them all up, the total is ridiculous. You might end up thinking that all your hard earned money is just going to insurance. That there’s nothing left for you to enjoy life’s simple pleasures. This is why I want to try everything that what we can in order to save money. I know how insurance can eat up our finances but the cost is even greater if we are not insured. I’ve seen it happen to friends and relatives plenty of times so no matter how much we’re paying, it’s worth the assurance we’re getting that help will come when we need it.

Someone is into arts too. I’m so glad she got that from my side. All she can think about is create art projects and draw cartoon strips and scenes.

 
Which is why her dad bought her this. A book on how to draw. Perfect for a budding young artist.

I’m currently shopping online for breeches. I need it for a costume party next month which will be held in a country club. The theme is all about horses, which is perfect for the celebrant who is a budding equestrian. Seeing her invitation made me remember how I wanted to have my own pony when I was 7 years old. Not that it’s even possible, what with our small backyard and my parents’ “just enough” income. Good thing I got interested with the arts instead! But still, I’ve always wanted to learn how to gallop and run fast, not cruise slowly in one of those horses for rent. I heard they will have 3 ponies in the party that kids can ride so I’m so excited for my little girl. Hope she will not get scared!

I’ve been seeing a lot of mobile and manufactured homes on TV and they still never cease to amaze me. Imagine having a complete home constructed in a factory and delivered to your location? Don’t believe me? Check out the photo below:

Now I’m dreaming of our future “dream” house again. I don’t care if it’s a modular home such as this. All I want is to finally have our own place so I can start shopping for furniture!

If there’s one thing that I don’t like about the properties that we’ve been checking out lately, it will be the additional cost of having expensive water pumps installed. Most of the subdivisions are in a quiet and safe neighborhood but either they don’t have water connection yet or they do have but it’s not that strong that you will need to get water pumps. Even if that’s the case, we are still barely meeting the tag price of some of them. It’s one of those days when I wish I have more money that I could ever want so I can choose any property that I fancy without even worrying if we can afford it.

Browsing through Outer Banks rentals is making me want to go on a beach getaway, stat. I’ve been cooped up inside the house for so long plus summer is officially here. I can determine the actual moment. It was when my laptop started feeling so hot against my hands and then died for no reason. I hope I can grab a few side projects this month so me and the family can have a quick out of town trip. God knows, the husband and I deserve it after working so hard! It’s fortunate that groupon websites have started to become so popular you don’t have to search high and low for a discounted vacation.

Every time I win a project bid, I can’t help but envision our future dream house. Not only that, I see the exterior design, number of bedrooms even stuff like best laminate flooring, high-end bath fixtures and kitchen appliances parade in my mind. I feel like I’m getting close to my goal the more side projects I get. The earnings from them usually gets transferred directly to my untouchable savings account, if I don’t get sidetracked with other big-ticket purchases. This year, however, most of my side project earnings will go to my new machine (yeah!) and to the first birthday party budget for my youngest. I am about done meeting my quota for that so whatever projects that will come after will be put into our future home budget again. I am not rushing this time. I know God will provide when it’s the right moment.
