Sending A Lucky Bamboo As A Congratulatory Gift

 

Achieving our dreams through determination and hard work are just two components of a successful person. One of our office mates got promoted last day and we all felt that he really deserves it. So, today we sent him some congratulatory gifts to his new office. He was very surprised to see that all of his colleagues and co-workers gather around his office to give him a surprise party. We bought food and drinks to celebrate with him after work. We all know that he feels thankful and blessed not only for the promotion that he got but also for all the people who helped him and supported him all through out his journey and labors at work.

Gifts flooded on his table, but my gift really stood out. It is a green mountain lucky bamboo, which I bought specially for that occasion. Originally I was planning to give him a pen as a congratulatory gift, because I know that he loves to collect all kinds of pen. But then, I realized that since it's a new office he would definitely needed a live plant to brighten up his new room. I also give him tips and advises how he should take care of the green mountain lucky bamboo plant. I also told him that the plant has been artfully arranged to provide a sense and tranquility and peace not only in his office but also in his life and family. Left him a precaution that the plant should avoid direct sunlight, to avoid scorching of the leaves and also not to place it in front of air conditioning or heating vents. He was very thankful for the gifts that he received, as well as the love and appreciation we have showed him.

We must always remember to do our best everyday and to always look our best too. Always have our one foot forward to be ready for whatever challenges that we may have to face. And never to forget to thank God for everything He has given Us and ask for His guidance all the time too.

Growing Bonsai As A Hobby

 

Bonsai, as we all know is a form of art for plants. It first originated in China, and was later passed on to different countries. Bonsai are not just an attractive conversation piece but also has a benefit to our health for many reasons. It is a relaxing hobby that can relieve stress and as a grower, there is said to be a deep philosophy in the spiritual dimension of the art. As you trim, prune, re-pot, water and fertilize, it takes your mind elsewhere allowing you to focus on these simple tasks. The process brings a Zen state of mind. But, also remember that growing these bonsai trees would require a lot of your time and effort, as well as creativity. You need to have basic knowledge in Bonsai making before you could properly grow one at home or at the office.

The ideal way to grow a Bonsai is from a tree seed, which means you would need to start from scratch or the very beginning. Trees are normally the ones we use for Bonsai making, since you wanted a miniature of that piece. The reason why it stays miniature is because of the care that you give to the Bonsai as they grower. But, it is not just trees that we could use for Bonsai making. One that I have at home is the Rosemary Bonsai, which was just given to me by a friend of mine during our housewarming party. I have put it in our kitchen, so it would be just easy to reach whenever I need it while I'm preparing our meals. the rosemary bonsai has a very nice aromatic scent and has a lovely purple blooms which is a natural beauty in any kitchen. You will get a sense of aesthetics and learn how to maximize the beauty of the plant.
 

A bonsai will literally grow old with you with and may last well over one-hundred years with proper care and management. This only means that you will get to enjoy your very own creation for years to come.

Welcoming A New Baby At Home

 

Two months from now we will be expecting an addition to our family. We are very thankful for this wonderful blessing that God has given our family. A new life means, a new beginning. My husband and I have been planning for the baby shower. It's just a simple celebration and we have invited our closest friends and relatives to join us on this special day. We have decided to hold a baby shower for our second child because we were not able to do it with our first born. We were a bit hard up on money back then and can't afford to have even a simple baby shower. But after giving birth to our first child, we were very happy because things have totally change and a lot of blessings came pouring down for us, as well as opportunities at work.

 I was very surprise to see an advance baby shower gift when we arrived home from shopping the other day. A friend of mine left it at our patio, I called her immediately to say thank you for the advance gift. She said that she will be leaving for a business trip and couldn't come on the day of the baby shower that is the reason why she just left the gift instead. She is already on her way to the airport and will be back a day after the baby shower. It was a nice mini yellow roses in hi baby musical container. I super love her gift, an appreciated her thoughtfulness towards me and the baby. I do believe that my baby will surely enjoy the colorful yellow roses and would love to hear the Hi baby musical container play and will definitely put her off to sleep.

Every child is a gift and a blessing to their parents and to everyone around them. As parents, it is our duty to guide and protect them as well as nourish them with love and care. We should always put in mind that our children gets easily influenced by their environment and would copy whatever they see from older people. So we must always be careful in doing or saying things in front of these innocent children.

Birthdays Are Best Celebrated With Family And Friends

 

A birthday is always a special day for everyone. Just like any other special occasion, we celebrate and thank God for giving us another year in our life. A 4-year old kid may never understand why there are birthdays and why it is celebrated, but seeing their friends and classmates come to enjoy is an unexplainable feeling of happiness for them too. My son and I went to a birthday party of his classmate last Monday. It was just a simple birthday celebration that was held at their humble home. His mom cooked some of the most delicious food for the party and other members of their family helped in preparing the tables and decorations, as well as the giveaways for the kids.

What really caught our attention during the birthday party was the terrarium garden with multicolored flowers in a designer-selected glass. Although it is a birthday party for a boy, but the terrarium garden in a designer glass complements the colors of the birthday cake which was specially made by his mom too. All the kids enjoyed and laughed while playing games, even us parents enjoyed while watching them. When the clown entered and started the show, all of them jumped up for joy. They all kept quiet while eating and we went home directly after the party because my son got tired of playing and running around with his friends and classmates.

A themed birthday party for your child might be too much or too expensive for others. It might not be practical because of the many expenses that we have from day to day. But let us not forget that our child also celebrates his/her birthday just once a year. So saving up some of your money for your child's birthday themed party is a great way to be fully prepared for his or her special day.
