Sewing DIY Projects

I can attest now that the kind of weather affects someone's mood. I thought before one's disposition depends ONLY with how our brain cells choose to view things everyday but no. If the weather is miserable out there, I tend to become more tired. All I want is to stay indoors and hone the introvert side of me. Duvet covers on, book in one side of the hand and the other hand is free to grab my cup of coffeee. Cozy but it makes me a little sad not able to see Mr. Sunshine. I grew up in a tropical...

Hull Fair 2022

Too many things happened last week that made me pause for a week off blogging. Writing requires a serene mind to let once ideas flow freely. Without the calmness, my thoughts will just be all over the place, non coherent, jumbled non sense words. In short, a failed blog post is the product of a heart not set into the writing mode. But today, is a bit better to get my thoughts out. Let me share this long overdue post for our Hull Fair 2022. Better late than never pretty Mommas (making excuses LOL).😂 October is the start of colder... Read More

Combating Stress

Have you heard an old joke about Santa Claus asking a staff nurse specific Christmas wish? The nurse requested for a dragon and then Santa told her off to be realistic. So she asked instead for a fully staffed ward everytime she goes to work. Was her wish granted do you think? Santa eventually asked what color she would like for her dragon! This joke never grows old for me. I wonder when will it ever have enough people to share the workload in the hospital. If you're reading this, come on guys apply for a nursing job now. It's...

Newest Obsession, My Happy Bubble

A calm Wednesday morning for me to start writing for my blog again. Hello pretty Mommas. Hope everyone is slaying their day like how a gorgeous momma should do. 😘 We were playing a card game this morning during breakfast by giving each other a card of prayer suited to whoever will get it. I gave Mon the card of work prayer as he is going to work from home today. For Akyn, he got the prayer of Wisdom before going to school and for me, Mon gave me the prayer for Forgiveness. I asked him, "To forgive who?" Then... Read More

Kitchen Renovation Deca Home

As early as nine in the morning, I received a phone call from a local number. I thought it was a genuinely important call since the area code showing didn't seem like a telemarketing calls with sales agent offering all sorts of products I'm not really interested. When I answered the phone, an automated message recording greeted me threatening me about tax evasion case filed againts me by the Home office. I've heard loads of cases of people falling to this kind of trick. Please be informed that Home office will never call to inform us of any tax discrepancy... Read More

Hobby Craft and The Range

A quite morning on a bank holiday. Good morning pretty Mommas! So thrilled to be off from a stressful worklife. LOL🤣🤣🤣 On a rest shift plus bank holiday is equivalent to a chill fam day to be together. We're planning to explore more shops later in the afternoon as the weather is quite gloomy to stay outdoor and play. A little cold with drizzling rain this morning made me realized that summer is slowly coming to an end. Noooooo! I ain't ready for colder seasons. Anyway, last weekend we did visit Hobby Craft with my Akyn. It's one of my... Read More

The Deep

A weekend off for me means an instant family activity for the three of us. May it planned or spontaneous one, there isn't a boring day to spend when everyone is in the house. I'd like to take advantage of Akyn's summer off from school to let him freely explore places we've never been to or do activities we'll really have fun doing together. Last weekend we went to the Deep in hull. Please click here to view more about the place. We've been here in Hull for more than there years but it was only this year that we've... Read More

Primrose Valley Holiday Park Part 3

The third part of our summer holiday is finally out today. LOL😂 Busy Momma here trying to accomplish my to do task written in my daily journal. Akynfullhouse will never be out of the picture for this blogger Momma. So, what's the content we got for part three? I have organized my posts to separate our food trip and those paid activities we booked for our Akyn. In that way, my readers can use this as a referrence in the future if ya'll wanted to visit Primrose Valley Holiday Park in Filey, Yorkshire. It's a lovely place to spend a... Read More

Primrose Valley Holiday Park Part 2

Second bit of our summer holiday blog post. How are you all pretty Mommas this morning? Hope everyone is still jolly to enjoy the lovely weather. I have finished my morning coffee routine that means I am good to start my day by publishing my blog post for this morning. Every holiday we do is a big thing for us not just because a list in our travel targets had been realized but merely because we had a happy moment to add to our family memory bank to treasure for the rest of our lives. When we reach our golden... Read More

Filey Beach

I took a quick rest after sorting out all our travel stuff and putting them back to where they needed to be at home. Yes, we've just arrived from our summer holiday and I can't wait for tomorrow to start blogging about it. So, I started my part one of the travel blog now. We've promised Akyn a holiday prize after he won his piano competition in Hornsea last July. We shouldn't break a promise to our child especially if it's a gift for something he worked hard to earn it. He requested to visit London again for the nth... Read More

Book Hoarder

Few weeks ago, we went to East Park Woodford Leisure Centre swimming pool to try it for the first time. I had no intentions of swimming at all because first, I got no swimming suit and second I don't know how to swim. Bummer! Thank you Ate Susan for letting me borrow a swimwear. I'm starting to browse online to get my own swimming attire to use every summer. I should have done this months ago.😂LOL That's us fresh from the pool. East Park is becoming a frequent destination for us to spend our weekends. Apart from it's a huge... Read More

Happy A Year Anniversary UK Home

This photo below is a year old as of today. We took this shot exactly the date when we moved in, the twenty third of July, our blissful summer. In the middle of packing and moving stuff from our rented place to our permanent home, we took this moment to smile, appreciate the biggest gift bestowed upon us and pose for a memorable picture to treasure forever. Who would have thought this blessing would come early? As a new immigrant from this country, we felt everything was moving so fast in its most beautiful way. I've got my family to... Read More

Bathroom Reveal

I feel sorry to those who are currently at work today in the UK with this kind of weather, too hot, uniform too constrictive and uncomfy to wear, office buildings absorbing too much heat, what else can I say? Tomorrow is also expected to be warmer than today. I'm used to high temperatures back home so I'm a little bit fine with it but for those who aren't, it's quite unbearable. This too shall pass pretty Mommas. Stay hydrated! As promised during my previous posts that I will be sharing our toilet renovation we did in our house in Cebu.... Read More

First Place Piano Competition

"Mama, I still can't believe I took the trophy back home to be the winner!" Neither us nor Akyn ever thought of getting the first place on his first try to experience a piano competition here in the UK. It's not that we don't believe on his capability. It's more of the fact that he's just six years old with no experience whatsoever on how it would feel to be on the stage with the audience watching him perform. I bet it was a hundred percent never-wracking for his little heart. At the end of May this year, his coach,... Read More

Aesthetically Pleasing

Whilst browsing through my photos, it always catches my eyes to admire the kind of home we created together. Nothing extravagant, just cozy and the pure feeling of I'm at HOME, my comfort zone. It excites me to go home after a stressful day where I can finally be with my family to spend time with them. It's a routine after work to head straight to shower, eat together followed by the best moment of having to stretch my legs with the comfiest home clothes and a new book to read on one hand while cuddling my baby boy with...

London Fourth Day

Finally, the last bit of our London trip is completed. I've been procastinating this morning as to when I'm going to sit and start writing for today's post because I'm ahmmmmm too lazy to get up on a Monday morning. We all have those sluggish days, don't we? It's when the bed is to comfy to let go of the duvet covers whilst enjoying the warmth and softness of the bed. Adulting struggle is real Pretty Mommas. I have also finished reading a book written by Taylor Jenkins Reid whilst in bed. The book was such a gem. I'll blog... Read More
