One of my old friends is turning 30 early next month. We met at work actually and another common friend of ours is planning a little meet up, reunion and simple get together just in time for that friend’s upcoming birthday. Turning 30 means something for some people I know these days. I was turning 30 on the year I gave birth so my 30th birthday was very special to me because it is the first year I celebrated it as a mother. My baby then was my most precious birthday gift for my 30th birthday.

But for our friend now as she is turning 30 herself, I bet she will be pursuing some of her dreams in life this year. She has a list and am sure she will be talking about that when we meet for her birthday. Now we are thinking of chipping in to get her a birthday gift as agreed by her friends. We have gift ideas in mind already. She loves red velvet cupcakes from one bakery here so that will be her birthday cupcakes unless we get her the chocolate mousse cake which is also one of her favorite cakes. (more…)

These are the Disney Mickey Mouse Donuts | GoNuts Donuts Abreeza that the kids and classmates of our dear little boy loved among the donuts we brought for the advance celebration of the little boy’s birthday at school. There were also Pooh donuts plus three other varieties of chocolate flavored donuts that we brought too.

This was a hit among the kids. Well kids are really fascinated with the Mickey design of this donut. Just glad I also bought these instead of having all those other chocolate donuts.

The little boy wants more of this he said when he saw me writing this post. LOL! Okay we will try to buy him one more tomorrow if we do get to go back to GND.

The night before Christmas eve, the boys and I were at SB for some bonding time when I saw by surprise two mommy-friends, one a former classmate and the other our schoolmate in college with their husbands with them. The first couple who saw me came home from Nigeria for their family Christmas vacation. The second couple, the wife was my former classmate in first year college who now works and lives in Singapore and they are here for a family Christmas vacation as well. We were actually about to go home with my boys when we saw them but extended our stay since this is one rare occasion to meet old friends I know.

It was a nice surprise meeting with old friends and we chatted till SB was almost about to close. The hubby of our schoolmate will be going on mountain climbing today as I remember our meet that night. He had been looking for a mountain hardwear in the sporting goods stores in the mall before they went to that coffee shop. (more…)
