Kipling Spring/Summer 2012

Kipling bags have long been a favorite of many for their casual and fun loving designs.  Kipling has come a long way from its original roots of providing high quality backpacks into creating functional and fashionable casual bags.  My own daughter is a fan of this Belgian brand, and her joy couldn’t be contained when she saw the colorful new designs.

The vibrant colors of the totes are just perfect for the remaining days of summer, and the backpack is also perfect for school aged children who have outgrown their stroller bags.  See some of the new designs for yourself!

Just recently, during the 3-day sale at Megamall, I chanced upon the Kipling store at the second level of Building A.  The store sports a spanking new interior which can only mean a better shopping experience. 

Shop for Kipling bags online at zaloro.com.ph, and at SM Mall of Asia, SM North EDSA The Block, SM Megamall, SM Bacolod, SM Iloilo, SM Davao, SM Cebu, Robinsons Place Ermita, Rustan’s Alabang Town Center, Rustan’s Shangri-La, Rustan’s Gateway, Rustan’s Makati, Landmark Makati and TriNoma.

A Proverbs 31 Kind of Woman

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there! 

In this modern age, it is refreshing and definitely a wonderful change of perspective to know that somewhere in the Bible there is a lovely passage that shows us where to find a timeless example of virtue, responsibility and good sense.  Here in Proverbs 31, we find a MOTHER who embodies the qualities which every believing woman should strive for in her personal life, in her physical appearance, in her family life, and in her daily duties.

As I share the verse below, I hope we are all inspired to be a Proverbs 31 kind of woman.

The Proverbs 31 Woman :
10An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels. rare, precious 11The heart of her husband trusts in her, And he will have no lack of gain. trustworthy 12She does him good and not evil All the days of her life. kind	Her Character as a Wife
13She looks for wool and flax And works with her hands in delight. works joyfully 14She is like merchant ships; She brings her food from afar. goes extra mile to get choicest goods 15She rises also while it is still night And gives food to her household And portions to her maidens. disciplined 16She considers a field and buys it; From her earnings she plants a vineyard. enterprising, prudent with money 17She girds herself with strength And makes her arms strong. energetic 18She senses that her gain is good; Her lamp does not go out at night. good steward 19She stretches out her hands to the distaff, And her hands grasp the spindle. diligent	Her Devotion as a Homemaker
20She extends her hand to the poor, And she stretches out her hands to the needy. compassionate, generous	Her Generosity as a Neighbor
21She is not afraid of the snow for her household, For all her household are clothed with scarlet. provident 22She makes coverings for herself; Her clothing is fine linen and purple. elegant 23Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land. influential 24She makes linen garments and sells them, And supplies belts to the tradesmen. industrious	Her Devotion as a Homemaker
25Strength and dignity are her clothing, And she smiles at the future. poised 26She opens her mouth in wisdom, And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. wise	Her Influence as a Teacher
27She looks well to the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness. manages her home 28Her children rise up and bless her; Her husband also, and he praises her, saying: praiseworthy 29"Many daughters have done nobly, But you excel them all." distinguished	Her Effectiveness as a Mother
30Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised. God-fearing 31Give her the product of her hands, And let her works praise her in the gates. honored	Her Excellence as a Person

We have all done crepe paper crafts at some point, mostly during our grade school days.   So when the recent opportunity arose to decorate B's Crafternoon party with crepe paper curtain in gradient shades of pink, I was delighted!  The wonderful ombre effect made by combining white, light pink and fuschia pink made it easy for me to convince the 2 girls of how fun making crepe paper curtains can be!

 

It is really a simple process of cutting, lining up, cutting, lining up...

Here is the step-by-step guide on how I did it.
