It’s also been a very busy month as we had just moved to a new house. The unpacking and reorganizing is no fun and it’s such a big task! After a week of settling in, I’ve finally unpacked all our stuff and it’s left with a lawn that needs mowing. I promise my boy that I would get him one of those kids switchplate covers for his room and I would need to do up his room so that he feels more comfortable.

Though it’s a big job moving from a townhouse to a house, I’m glad we did it anyway. Now, I can’t wait to buy our own house so that I don’t have to start all over again!

We had a good break in Asia and it was just nice relaxing, chilling out, meeting up with family and friends. We did a beach holiday with some friends and it was great exploring places and having fun under the sun. I was just glad we joined roadside assistance club before our trip as our rental vehicle broke down at some point.

Now that our holidays had ended, it’s time to sit down and get back to real work. It’s quite hard getting back to the routine, waking up early, preparing lunch boxes and stuff, but I’m just glad that I can have some personal time and space after eight weeks of babysitting!

We are listing down a list of things to do for our home office and one of the tasks that call for our attention is to replace some office furniture. Hubby and myself agree that we need new storage boxes as the ones we had were broken, cracked and unfit for our use. I’m one believer of quality storage as I dislike flimsy ones that won’t stack well. With the help of Internet technology, searching for quality storage boxes is now easier. They are useful for home offices especially when space is an issue. If you like a neater office, storage bins help to keep the clutter away and categorize your files and projects in an orderly fashion. Buying them from a good company will ensure that your boxes give you more value for money. You can also be assured of friendly and professional customer service should any problem arise. For the eco friendly ones, you can buy storage boxes that are made of recycled plastic.

So as you set your new goals for your home business for 2012, purpose in our heart to be more organized and efficient. Putting things in place means higher levels of productivity and this means better returns for the business.

The next weeks will see more birthday parties coming up and I have an invitation to a friend’s daughter party and it’s going to be a pool party. I was checking the web for a 20th birthday gift and the options are endless! Since I haven’t had a daughter, it’s hard to choose the right one. I can’t really remember what I liked at 20! Looks like I need to consult parents with daughters or search the web for some ideas too.

Isn’t it great that the web has answers to lots of things. There is endless amount of resources available at our fingertips and I’m just so glad that we are living in such an exciting era!

Christmas is around the corner and I would need to do up my Christmas gift list soon. There’s alot to do since we are moving in January and the more immediate thing is to pack. Perhaps I should list down some gifts for the family members first then comes friends and all. I was thinking about getting a pair of ray-ban sunglasses for DH as he tends to drive without one. The summer’s heat will get more intense down under so I do want him to protect his eyes and be sun smart.

At least I had thought of his gift so that’s one down. Next will be my son and then moving on to my close family members. I love the Christmas spirit… don’t you?
