Say it Big

I saw an application on Facebook called Say it Big from Nido Fortified Philippines inline with the upcoming Mother's Day where you can create a card by uploading you and your mom's photo and write a short message for her. You can choose the frame and color scheme for the background of the photo and the message. They will send the card to your mom's email address.

Here's what I created:

The Doom of the Broom!

Others think stay at home wife does nothing but sitting on the couch, eat bon-bons and watch soap operas all day. Managing a house is a 24 hours job and it's not easy, it's a business in itself.


I am a stay at home wife and I'm loving it because I am available whenever my husband needs me. I am always home when he comes home from work. I have time to cook healthy meals on time, do all the house work and able to keep my home clean.

What I really hate when cleaning is when I'm sweeping the floor using a broom (walis tambo). Why?

1. Some stands of the broom left on the floor, so I need to sweep again.

2. Dust are flying, I hate dust because I easily get pimples from it.

3. I need to move the couch, tables and chairs just to sweep under it and move back again to its place.

4. Bending my back while sweeping makes my lower back ache.

5. Stretch myself when reaching for far end areas.

6. If you didn't hang the broom it will look like a mustache, so don't just leave it at the corner.

7. I have to replace it often because it easily become thin.

Imagine how stressful it is just to sweep the floor, huh! I think it's time to switch from traditional broom to Electrolux Dynamica vacuum cleaner to make cleaning more easy and enjoyable. It suck up all the dirt and dust and prevent the dust to scatter in the air. Using vacuum cleaner means having more time for myself, so when hubby comes home from work I will always look fresh and beautiful!

I need change. I want to start the doom of the broom. I need help!
