Newborn Photography Amyndeen

I can't believe it took me more than a month to publish another blog post for my website.šŸ’•That's the reality of how hard the fourth trimester is of postpartum mothers like me. To all the Mommas out there trying their best as well to survive each day,virtual hugs for all of us. This too shall pass! So, let's enjoy this moment while it lasts. My blog post today is the continuation of my previous post. Last year, we signed up for a package that included both the maternity and newborn/sibling photoshoot with Nino Travagli photography.

Maternity Photoshoot Awaiting Amyndeen 2024

I am so much delighted now that my blog website is finally fixed after it has been temporarily shut down due to suspected spammers trying to gain access to it. Thank you to my personal IT guy (my husband) whoā€™s looking after my Akynfullhouse. Love you Teddy!( ayeeešŸ˜‚) The meat of my blog today as it says in the title is all about my maternity shoot last November of 2024.

Hull Fair 2024

A long overdue blog post again pretty Mommas. šŸ˜’It takes me a lot of effort to get myself settled and compose a new write up during my third trimester. I am always tired and would prefer to sleep when I am at home. I bet most ladies would be able to relate to the exhaustion when we're nearer our due month. All those discomforts like leg cramps, insomnia, difficulty finding a comfy position to sleep and more on the list to add are all coming to its full blast during this period.ā¤ļø Salute to all MUMS who had endured all...

Day 2 Cornwall-Tintagel Castle

Another week it took to post the seccond part of our Cornwall adventure.(LOL) That's the reality of the busy life of a pregnant working Momma. I am already looking forward to the days when I am going to be off from work. If working as a nurse is already an exhausting job, it is much more harder when you are working whilst pregnant. We are always on our feet carrying a heavy belly with us.How challenging is that? Few more shifts pretty Mommas and I will be relaxing myself at home with feet up in our couch.šŸ˜ Anyway, let's get... Read More

Day 1 Cornwall-Lands End and Porthcurno Beach

January of 2024 when my friend Michio sent me an invite if we wanted to go on a group trip to Cornwall.I wasn't pregnant yet that time and had literally no other plans on how we are going to spend our summer holiday for this year.Said yes, without second thoughts.We haven't been to Cornwall at all plus Akyn will surely love it with his friends Yuri and Sophie going as well. Thank you to Michio for organizing everything for the group and for remembering us to be part of the trip. It happens once in a blue moon when we... Read More

Day 3 Scotland-Leith Shore

Our fridge magnet of all our trips are growing each year. It only goes to show how we love to spend traveling as a family. As they say, that soon we will forget all about the expenses we've spent during our travel because what we will remember will only be the beautiful memories of all our unforgetable experiences in our holiday getaways. I agree 100 percent! It's a gloomy morning here in Hull.šŸ˜’On the brighter side, it's a favourable weather for me to stay indoors and finish my blog series about our Scotland holiday for me to start organizing our...

Day 3 Scotland-Edinburgh Holyrood Palace

I have been blogging since 2017 and I have just noticed I'm so much into using photo narrative method to tell my story. The fact that I love to take photos every family trip makes it easier for me to create a story out of it. Although sometimes, I used my blog to express my sentiments without using any relevant photos at all but that only happens once in a blue moon.(LOL)šŸ¤£It only goes to show blogging serves as my therapy to lighten up my emotions when things seem to get too overwhelming for me pretty Mommas. What's your own... Read More

Day 2 Scotland-Glasgow Cathedral

Nice thing about having a DIY trip is the fact that you got no schedule to follow,you can choose places you wanted to visit and the most important thing is, it is cheaper because you have an option to go to those tourist spots with no charge. ā¤ļø Glasgow was our itinerary for our second day.I did have a print out of their beautiful places to visit prior to our travel. Trying to be more organize pretty Mommas!(LOL)šŸ˜ After our Glasgow Botanical Garden trip,we headed to their city centre to have our lunch in Jollibee. When our tummies were all... Read More

Day 2 Scotland-Glasgow Botanic GardensĀ 

Second day of the trip started with early morning breakfast included in our hotel accomodation then a warm shower ready for a long day of exploring Glasgow.šŸ˜ Prior to traveling, we searched for places we can visit both in Glasgow and Edinburgh then printed them as a guide for our trip to Scotland. It's another DIY trip achieved,a much more cheaper method than purchasing a package. In choosing our destinations, we made it sure we considered our Akyn's choice. He's so obsessed with plants, so the first on the list to visit was a botanic garden. Searched for the nearest... Read More

Surprise Baby Shower

I have never expected in my entire stay here in the UK that I will ever experience a surprise party from my friends for any occasion at all. I love organizing gifts and parties for others, though. It excites me to choose something special to people dear to me. Do you feel the happiness, too when you see their smiles upon receiving your presents?ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø Last week, my Filipino ward friends planned for a get together BBQ in the garden hosted by one of my friends. On the day of the said date, I was busy doing my own groceries and... Read More

Mon’s Birthday and Akyn’s Achievement

We've been waiting for our Monoy's special day to come because the three of us are off on his birthday. The feeling of waking up in the morning and not thinking of coming to work or having any strict schedule to follow is an absolute gem in our adulting lives Pretty Mommas.šŸ˜Š Our Akyn woke up early to greet his Dad a happiest birthday. Our boy already planned what to do on this day. He wanted us to buy Daddy a present, enjoy strolling the city and to eat out together as a family. I couldn't agree more with his... Read More

Family Stroll in New Castle

I am not very consistent with my target post day for my blog to my dearest Akynfullhouse website. What could be the reason behind? Loads of family schedules getting done especially now that it is the start of our boy's school break. Akyn is still at the stage where he prefers to stay in the part of our house where I am. I won' be able to finish my thoughts in writing when he is around trying to get my attention every now and then. I don't complain. I love and would like to savour this sweet stage of him....

Sharps Wardrobe and ILR Granted

I am feeling a bit better today after being sick for this week. So thankful to my family for looking after me whilst I spent most of the days in bed recovering and to my employer for giving me sometime off from work to rest. I wouldn't be fit to take care of my patient during those days to be honest. If there's something I am dreading a lot during my pregnancy, that would be being ill because I would be worrying a lot not just for myself but for my baby inside my womb, too. The struggle is real... Read More

1st Place Winner Hornsea Music Festival 2024

Akyn's first half of the year is the busiest time with his piano endeavors because most of the music festivals he usually joins happen during those months plus he got his yearly performance to be graded so he can proceed to the next level of his piano competence.Yes, kids who study piano here in the UK are required to sumbit themselves for an exam before they can proceed to the next grade.With all those tasks mentioned, my Akyn never complained of being exhausted.He's always looking forward when Miss Mila,his piano teacher would come to start for another lesson.Sometimes, we would...

Cozy Mood

I am listening to the sounds of a smooth instrumental Jazz inĀ Youtube with fireplace effects whilst creating this blog. It adds to the cozy vibe of the nippy weather today. It's spring but still feels like the end bit of winter here in the northern part of England. We started to get more sunny weather a month ago that gave me an opportunity to paint our garden fence but now it is becoming cold again. I can't wait for summer. It's when everyone will complain about how warm it is.I love the warmer seasonšŸ¤£It's hard to please the humans of... Read More

Living Room Sideboard Decoration by Mich

I have attended a funeral service for the very first time here in the UK yesterday for one of my Filipino Kababayans. We aren't close personally but I was able to take part of providing his care when he got admitted to our ward. May he rest in peace eternally and my deepest condolences to the bereaved family.ā¤ļø To those reading my blogs, you know how much I hated big gatherings draining my social battery. However, sometimes we needed to get out of our comfort zones to show our support to those who needed it. I am proud of myself... Read More
