Pet Insurance, that is. See, we are getting a family pet. On Monday, our new puppy will join us. The kids are excited, of course, while dh and I are already thinking of expenses like the vet bills. I asked a friend who has a dog if she has pet insurance and she said she didn't get it. I guess, she's been lucky so far that she has not had any big vet bill for her dog. I am sure there are online sites out there that gives free quotes for pet insurance just like cheap term life insurance rates.

How I wish my mom kept every piece of memorabilia from my childhood, just the important things like class pictures, report cards (I've got good ones so it is worth keeping - ha ha), birthday cards and even birth announcements. It would've been nice to have those now that I have kids of my own. For my kids, I am proud to say that I have kept some memorabilia from the time I was pregnant. I bought plastic bins of different colors and this is where I have all their keepsakes. I know they will appreciate me doing it for them when they're all grown up.

It is exciting and at the same time, nerve-wracking! We have to 'puppy-proof' the whole house for the arrival of our family pet. Considering I have a 5 year old, then it goes without saying that he has a lot of small toys all over the place! I already talked to him about it and he asked if he can just put the toys on top of the tv stands. Well, at least those are high enough so the puppy will not be able to reach it. I plan to buy a book about raising our puppy - but one that is written for a Bichon Frise. I cannot wait to share his photo, he is just so adorable!.

Well, at least it feels like Spring today. It's my favorite season, except for the pollen! I also do not enjoy 'spring cleaning' - it is a lot of work. I'm tired just thinking of it! LOL We also get a lot of thunderstorms in this part of the country. When that happens, I run around the house, unplugging all the electronics from the electric outlets. It's better to be safe than have a fried computer motherboard!!
