my little savers :)

My kids were finally able to open a savings account.  I've always wanted to do this for my kids, but every time they get money during Christmas, they just end up buying toys and other things they want.  Well, I can't blame them.  But I am thankful that this year - after all my "lectures" on saving (lol!) - my 2 girls finally gave in and decided to save the money they got in the bank.  Well, my little boy has no choice because I have his money (lol!).  And with monthly help from their Dad, they'd start building up their savings.

my girls are now proud savers! :)

still had to take that picture even though he's sucking his thumb (lol!)

We really want to train our kids to be more of savers than spenders.  And having their own savings account is a good start. :)

Mommy and Me Monday: baby pics

My little boy is already growing up, and I kind of miss his sweet and cute little baby size.  Well, he's still sweet and cute, but he's getting big already.  So I'm posting these pics of us on some of our moments together at home (when we no longer what to do next. lol!):

Got pictures of you and your lovely kids to share?  Hop on over to the home of Mommy and Me Monday and share it with us. :)

Story Time!

My kids are really happy when the weekend arrives.  My 2 girls have no school and my little boy has other playmates other than me (lol!).  After breakfast and before they went out to play, I had them read some of the  free interactive storybooks at Story Time for Me.  It was amusing to see the story book characters move, and that's what my kids like most of these online books.

my kids (well, just their heads. lol!) while reading one of the story books.

I wouldn't have the computer all to myself now, since they will be reading some more of the stories and I know my little boy would love to repeat them over and over again.  I guess that's okay - it'll take them off playing their Nintendo DS for a while. :)

Mommy Moments: New Toys

My kids got more money last Christmas than toys so here are some of the toys they bought from their Christmas money:

Gwenevere's Hello Kitty My House

Gaby chose to buy a Bay Blade so that she can compete with her friends at school.  I didn't know that girls like playing with these kind of toys.

Gerard's remote control car

I just took a picture of their toys because they weren't cooperating when I asked to have their picture taken.  Kids! :)

What did your kids get last Christmas?  Share it with us at Mommy Moments! :)

Just love our new blog design! :)

I just can't get enough of our new scrapbook-themed blog design.  Every time I log in, this blog is the first thing that I look at.  I'm so happy with how my friend, Grace, designed my children's blog - it's very simple yet very pretty. Just perfect for my precious little ones. :)

If it's you're first time to visit this blog, here's a before and after look of it:

the "before" blog template

...and here is the new and improved God's Precious Gifts! :)

So what do you think of our blog makeover?  Did you like it?  My daughters just loved their new blog design - even my little boy couldn't help but say "wow!"  

We'd love to hear what you guys think! :)
