If you’ve got a person on your block who is the first to volunteer if you need a babysitter, home project helper or someone to check on your house while you’re on vacation, recognize her with a thoughtful gift. Although it might not repay her for every kindness she’s shown your family, it will illustrate how much you appreciate her and all she’s done for you over the years.

Furry Friends

If you always have a morning conversation with your neighbor as she’s taking her furry friend for a walk, give her a gift that she can share with her beloved canine companion. Present her with dog gift baskets that include items such as treats, chew toys, biscuits, bones and tennis balls, for instance. Contain everything in a large tin that can double as an outdoor water bowl.

Meal Kits

Even if your neighbor loves to cook, meal kit delivery services can give her a little break on the nights that she’s too busy to grocery shop and devise a menu on her own. Consider a service that provides the ingredients and recipes for one person if she often dines alone or one that offers enough to prepare a main dish and sides for her entire family.

Helping Hands

Create a coupon book filled with offers that your neighbor can redeem when she’s in need of assistance. Volunteer your time to pet sit while her family is on vacation, complete a few hours of yard work or completely clean out her garage, for instance. If she’s helpful to multiple families in the neighborhood, consider gathering vouchers for their time as well.

Dependable neighbors that you can care about, share a laugh with and trust implicitly are a rare commodity. Show the one that you’ve got that you’re thankful for the way she makes your life brighter, safer and easier.

Hello. it's Saturday! It's time again for my Worthy Saturday post and this week I'd like to feature my son's creativity when it comes to Lego blocks. This is one of the best gifts he ever received from her Nanay Cora

I think I got an Engineer on the making, what d'you think?

Happy birthday to this sweet not-so-little girl, Ate Phea!

Well, showbiz personalities as they are, their life becomes public as well. That's their style, their signature, and maybe, just maybe, that's the kind of publicity that they have really wanted.

This family feud, I supposed, is the longest publicized feud that I've ever known. I'm not really a fan of them, I am just a little bit curious lately why they became the talk of the town again. When I checked my wall, my newsfeeds, they're all over the news, which shuns the issue about those "ninja cops" "Swine flu fever", among others.

I really do not know how deep are their (the Barreto sisters)scars that they do not know how to simply forgive each other. Pride could be one of the reasons. But I just hope they could settle it without interrupting the more important issues that the people ought to know about our country.

Just saying, though.

If I am going to lose some pounds, do I look better? LOL... In case you are not familiar, there is an app that I downloaded from Google Play which can make a good caricature of your face like this one:

Hello everyone, it's another #WorthySaturday and for this week, let me share my daughter's favorite pastime: doodling

My eldest daughter just loves to color and doodle as well. She got that from me, for sure, but when I was at her age, I am not that persistent. I only started drawing/doodling when I was already in the third grade. How about you? Care to share your #Worthy Saturday entry?
