Watching Jamaine grow up just makes me so happy.

I remember during one of those nights less than two years ago when she was just a little baby in my arms, I imagined the day that she would be old enough to talk with me and tell me stories.
And now that’s what we always do. We [...]

I was going through my usual morning shower when I heard a soft knock on the bathroom door.
“Mommy!”
I opened the door a bit and peeked out.
“Good mowwning!” Kalia was at the door all smiling from ear to ear. She woke up early and in a good mood too.
“Wait lang baby ha. Mommy’s just taking a [...]

Numbers are my friend

If you’ve known me long enough, you’d know I love words better than numbers. But since I had to learn how to manage the family budget, numbers had to be my friend.
I bought a good ole math notebook where I list down our budget for the week and our purchases. I also have a special [...]

This time it was Kalia’s baby sitter who had to go and we’re once again faced with this dilemma.
I’ve been trying to find the best solution that would solve our baby sitter problems for good. We had the same dilemma earlier this year when Jamaine’s sitter got sick for weeks and we couldn’t find a [...]

It always amazes me how our seemingly ordinary home becomes a fantasy world through Jamaine’s eyes.

Whenever we play together, she shows me that there is always something new to discover.

Her never-ending wonder and curiosity for all things magically transforms anything she touches.

1..2…3…
I watched dumbfounded as my 1 – year old baby Jamaine hit her head with her tiny hand.
Just a few seconds ago, I had pried the electric plug gently but firmly from her hand, triggering the scene I had just seen.
I didn’t know how to react next.
Too many worries were rushing in my head.
Is my [...]

9am. The sun was up in all it’s glory. Jamaine and Kalia were wide awake, ready to start the day.

I sluggishly settled both babies in the living room so I could eat a quick breakfast.

I popped Jamaine’s Dora the Explorer DVD in the player and plopped her on the mini sofa. Kalia was content cooing in her crib while looking at Winnie the Pooh.

I headed to the kitchen to fix myself some hot chocolate, my morning cup of comfort.

I’m feeling better and stronger everyday. I know my body is doing its best to heal itself. I know I’ll feel good as new when the week ends.
I’ve been reciting this mantra to myself for the past days, just a little something to shift my mood and attention away from pain.
I’ve been going through a [...]

A new week has begun. And with it comes my new home, new baby and new life.
We moved in to our new apartment last Saturday. We’ve managed to clear all our boxes and arrange all our stuff in two days. Though the house is still bare and begging to be decorated, we’re settled in comfortably. [...]
