Happy Gardening!

One afternoon I was alone. So I took photos of our growing vegies after preparing our dinner. :) Go Greenies!

Urban Farming Made Possible

In our church we have the Self Reliance Services. There are programs prepared to equip members with the knowledge and skills to be self reliant. Recently we have this activity on Urban Farming. A member from our stake who has background in agriculture conducted a workshop on preparing organic fertilizers and tips on gardening.

My husband and I started our garden at home. The dilemma we had was ---- we don't have space for gardening considering the we live in an apartment. Luckily, the husband had bright ideas (as always) and he was able to think of ways to make use of empty soda plastic containers and hang them in our gate.

Onions here :)

Gardening is fun! Eating more fresh vegetables is one way to stay healthy.

Personalized Notebooks

Butch and I had been contemplating of starting a small business. He named it Simple Things Office and School Supplies and I agreed. :D It's fulfilling to have started with these personalized notebooks for members of the Church. Butch designed the cover. Such an awesome husband!  We never expected that we can go as far as Luzon and Mindanao for our market. Indeed by from simple things we can achieve something great. We just used our savings to invest in this business and it's worth a try. :)

Choco Mousse

Butch made this for his Brother's Birthday! so yummy. See why I am such a lucky wife? haha :P

Pork Chorizo

 

Since I moved in Molo 1st ward I learned a lot of new skills in our Relief Society.  We had an activity make chorizo and tocino. Butch and I made our own chorizo. Yey! Namnam! It's easy to make and we can save a good amount compared to buying ready made products in the grocery store.

My Mini Sewing Machine

I admire my mother because she is good in everything. She can even do men's work like making improvised extension cord etc. She is a good cook and she can sew too. I must admit I didn't give much time to develop some home making skills while I was young. As long as I have good grades, I'm  good. Well, since things have changed and I am at home most of the time, it's time to try new skills. Still hopeful that one day I can sew a perfect dress by myself.

Save Your Kisses

This photo was actually taken during our prenup. Butch just edited it for our own MormonAd version. It's in a kitchen and there's garlic on our forehead. At the bottom there's a quote from President Kimball which says, "what do kisses mean when given out like pretzels....?" In our world today moral issues can be heard almost everywhere. What's not so pleasing seems to become a norm. But we have this so called standards in the Strength of Youth pamphlet in our church.
