Over at the FilipinoMomBlog.com, we have a started a meme called Fab Holiday Finds in an anything goes theme for the first week.
In this blog, I thought of follow-up posts to my entries in the meme.
Why? I plan to feature those things that I plan to do as a way of practicing a Frugal Christmas without skimping on quality.
Here is one idea: Personalized Christmas Gift Tags.

One of the most important things we mothers want to achieve is to keep the home clean and worry-free.
Why so? Because germs have no “right” to be in places where they can cause harm to people, especially children.
Here are some basic materials and steps that homemakers need to keep the sanctuary called “home” clean and safe:
One does not need to do a thorough cleaning up everyday, a few minutes spent on cleaning will come a long way.

Walking in the woods does a lot of wonderful things to the body and mind, and spirit.
One feels one with nature as listening to the chirping birds, smelling the smell of leaves, seeing colorful flowers, feeling the drizzling rain falling softly on one’s face, and inhaling fresh cool air are all incomparable experiences on a lazy Sunday weekend. For us, at least.
Such was what we did yesterday (Sunday) morning. We were not able to have a picnic on our picnic mat as we planned to because of the drizzles but we had fun nonetheless.
Have you tried this experience or are you one of those who feel more at ease in an air conditioned place where sights and sounds intertwine endlessly during Sundays?

TV viewing mostly happen when we watch the news or a favorite (or two) mini-series during prime time.
So what do we watch?
The children love to watch DVDs and so do my husband and I.
I prefer to watch TV series on DVD and so does my husband.
The children though love to watch movies from the latest releases like Kung-Fu Panda and Wall-E to some of the movies that were released a few decades back like Lion King, Lady and the Tramp and even Mary Poppins.
Imagine how the tv stand looks like with all those DVDs scattered. I always tell the children to pack these things back in the albums where these belong but there are times when they do not do so.
Not having a cable connection at home means we are cheap we are able to cut on the children’s TV viewing time. They do have some cartoon shows to watch like their favorite anime shows or that sponge who lives n Bikini Bottom AND educational shows featuring animals, geography, plants and science.
What is your favorite television show?
