Parent's Choice Infant Formula

Having friends who have kids already makes me realize the importance of infant formula. After the breastmilk is not produced anymore, if the breastmilk isn't enough to satisfy the baby (I know some babies who can drink A LOT of milk) or after the mother decides to stop breastfeeding, it's time to find the best infant formula.

For those of you who live in USA, have you heard of Parent's Choice Infant Formula? This store brand formula is FDA-approved and they're just as good as other infant formula. They come in different choices, such as: milk formula, soy formula, gentle formula, organic formula, sensitivity formula, immune support formula, added rice formula, and stage 2 formula.

Then what's the good thing about this one, you ask? Well, they cost cheaper. Right now they're having a sale on milk formula and gentle formula where you can get 2 cans for only $10. Pretty good deal, don't you think?

If you still doubt whether or not they're good, you can just fill in an online form to get some samples. All of the products are available in Walmart. In the website you can read much more detailed information on the different types of infant milk. There is even on online savings calculator where you get to compare how much it costs you to buy different kinds of infant milk versus Parent's Choice Infant Formula.

3BT: Random Days

1. "Diamonds" glittering on a rooftop (read: when the sun was shining on the rooftop of a building covered by snow, the snow glittered just like diamonds).

2. Making lurrrrrvvvvveeeeeeeee and cuddling, kissing, and tickling each other afterwards.



3. Feeling as if spring had come again due to the amount of snow and sunlight during daytime.

4. Taking these pictures made me happy:






5. Starting to count down to the day of my departure to Indo and feeling both joy and sadness (sadness 'coz I'll have to leave hubby for 4 weeks - we've never been apart for more than one day for the past 2 years and 7 months).

6. Receiving "tempe teri" from an Indo friend who lives in Southern Finland. The day I received it, I cooked rice right away and it felt HEAVENLY to taste tempe teri with hot rice. Mmmm...

7. Feeling hubby's shaved cheek on mine.

8. Having some savings for rainy days and not having debt.

9. Reading a very funny joke (in Finnish), laughing about it, and sharing the laughter with hubby and BIL.

10. Asking hubby: "Is our marriage what you think a marriage is supposed to be?" He said yes and when I asked if he had any complaints about me, he said no. :-D

10 Years From Now

Inspired by Blur Ting's post entitled Daydream Believer, I decided to take the same route...to the imaginary land. Let's think of my life 10 years from now.

First of all, my Finnish would be good (or should be at least) by then. I can communicate pretty well with my parents-in-law and I've already produced at least one kid hi hi hi...Hopefully God will let me have my own kid. By then I think I'll be busy still being a mother, 'coz after all I'm only planning to have a kid in 2-3 years from now, so if my first kid is born 3 years from now, he or she'll only be around 7. Still a handful hi hi hi hi...Or I guess kids will always be handful no matter how old they get? Hmmm...I'm not a parent yet, so enlighten me, please? ;-D

Secondly, I'll be a Finnish citizen already by then. I have to stay here at least for 4 years without any long significant break and then pass my national Finnish exam before I can apply for citizenship. Applying for citizenship may take up to a year or more, but since we're talking about 10 years from now, I'm pretty confident that I'll be a Finnish citizen by then (with God's help 'coz you know how bureaucracy is!!!).

Thirdly, I'll be living in a bigger apartment obviously 'coz we'll have a kid or kids already. I hope the apartment is a one-floor apartment so I have no neighbours above or below me, just next to me.

Fourthly, I'll either have been able to get a steady income by blogging for money or by then I'll be able to get at least a part-time job here in Finland since my Finnish is enough to get by in work places. Honestly speaking, I think it's nicer to work from home, though, especially when it's cold outside ha ha ha ha ha...I've always been better at working alone. I've never survived in a real workplace (I tried working in a garment factory once, but it only lasted for 7 weeks - I'll tell you about this later someday).

Hmmm...what else? By then my book collection will be MORE than now. I had to leave almost all my books in Bandung when I moved here, so right now I only have 12 novels. I want to read MORE!!!

Last but not least...I hope in 10 years I'll have enough savings to visit my parents at least once (hopefully they'll still be alive). If this blogging for money works well, I'll be able to save money in a few years' to go back home. I do have untouched savings (MUST NOT BE WITHDRAWN at all costs), but that's for VERY URGENT matters, i.e. if for example my parents gets REALLY sick (or even worse), then I'll go back to Indonesia right away with that money. Gotta be prepared for urgent matters!!!

Other than that, 10 years from now, I hope I can keep on feeding my inner child and stay positive and enthusiastic. I hope I can keep on cherishing all the good things in life and I always remember to count my blessings instead of counting what I don't have. I hope I still have a WONDERFUL relationship with my husband and kids 10 years from now. I hope I continue growing together with my husband and our bond gets stronger and stronger. I hope I can continue surrendering to God and relying on Him. I hope I have grown wiser and gentler then (not bitter or cynical). I hope that I can still have all of your my blogging friends by then and that I can still have time to blog when my kids are in my life he he he he he he...I just wanna lead a good life and spread sunshine and laughter. :-))))

Ahhhhhh...I just LOVE daydreaming, don't you? ;-D
