Our Christmassy Home

We know when it's almost Christmas because it's getting colder and colder everyday. It's like a snuggle time of the year under our thick blanket in front of the delightful fireplace. Who wouldn't want to stay at home at the perfect comfort of our home? 😂 My home buddy. Anyway, how's your Christmas decoration at home going? Are you almost finished with everything? I guess mine would be quite alright now. Although, I'm still adding some bits and bobs everytime I see something cute when we go shopping. Nothing really much I planned to change anymore with how things are... Read More

Be Bright

It's Monday which means a blogging day for this Momma on rest day with four degrees freezing weather outside. Going out still? No, thank you! I'd rather stay at home and enjoy my writing day. 😂 Little things like this of having the freedom to do what I like versus doing what I am needing to finish is one of the best moment for a busy bee mum. It's like a precious jewel we always want to savor every bit of it, don't you agree? Today, whilst scrolling down my Facebook memory lane, I've read an online post about getting... Read More

My Day Be Like

It took me a while to write another blog for my Akynfullhouse because we've been doing loads of changes recently with our website. So much trial and error that needs doing before our site can go live again. Still thankful I got my personal web developer, my husband, who can customise my blog based on my own liking. It is so expensive to get someone to build a website nowadays, isn't it? Anyway, my post for today is to share my gratefulness for the blessings I got for my birthday. Yay🙏I'm a year older again and wiser I supposed. This... Read More

Hull Fair

Akyn went to school using his bike instead of his scooter as suggested by me thinking he hasn't used his little bike for quite sometime now. I haven't realized though that I will be going home carrying the heavy metal bike alone after sending him to school. Tried to push it using my hands but because it is so small it hurts my back when I am leaning down. I did rather carry it back home and promised not to offer it again in going to school. We'll stick in using his scooter from now on. Duh! A little sleepy... Read More

Make It Feel Homey

After I finished vacuuming our entire house, here I am again ready to share some exciting updates for our little lair. I prefer to stay more in our house these days compared to before when we were still renting. It felt more homey to me because I can personalize each corner of our home inviting us to relax more indoor. Obviously we can't change anything on a rented property without the Landlord's permission before. I got to deal with everyday's eyesore of that little place we rented. It's surely a big leap of change of us to move here. And... Read More

Coffee Nook and Everything Nice

Having my me time for a couple of hours while my Akyn is in school is absolutely relaxing. It allows me to do my hobby just like blogging without feeling guilty of not looking after my boy because of getting too preocuppied of thinking what to write. Mon is also at work in York which would mean I have my alone moment."Go pretty Momma enjoy doing your morning skin care without rushing for my Mommy duties!" What's the latest update for Akynfullhouse? I've been so productive for the previous days. Apart from working straight nights, duh the usual work routine,... Read More

View My Thrifted Haul

I've finished watching one full sixteen episodes Koreanovela series in my two days off. How crazy is that? I love watching them but every time I watch these Korean celebrities I always end up feeling too ugly with how I look. (LOL)They just look so perfect like you can't even see any visible pores in their faces with perfect petite body Asian structure. I wonder how much sacrifice they need to undertake to achieve such beautiful figures. Nah, never mind! I'm completely happy with me being free to eat whatever I want. I'm trying to search for another series to... Read More

Thrift Flip Home Decors

It's a sunny Saturday and I'm on a rest day. How nice is that? Once in a blue moon when I'm off on a weekend. Yay, celebrating those little moments of happiness pretty Mommas of enjoying life away from the hospital stress work-related. LOL. This is me taking a selfie while doing thrift shopping for home decorations. Yesterday was the last day of school before the spring break of my boy. They did a photoshoot taking with his Dad just before heading to school. I can really tell now Akyn is a 100% the same photo addict like me who... Read More

My Adorable Five

After finishing all my house chores, now I can finally relax to start updating another blog for our Akynfullhouse. I always caught myself wanting to write on this blog no matter how hectic my schedule is and many would asked on how I can still manage to continue this hobby when my profession is quite so demanding taking so much of my time. Well, all I can say is when we are used to do a habit of whatever hobby we are into, it would eventually become part of our routine to do it. Don't you agree with that? Bet... Read More

Another Thrifted Upcycle Journey

Went home from my overtime shift and was right away greeted with my Akyn with these sweet flowers for Mother's Day. All my tired muscles regained my lost energy because of my little charming boy who never failed to make me feel liked I'm the best mum in the world. Thank you Palangga.😘 We got two Mother's day celebration because both the Philippines and the UK got two different dates in celebrating my special day as a MUM. It's a nice treat for me from my boys then. Who wouldn't love to get some appreciation from all our hardwork pretty... Read More

My First Balikbayan Box

I've just finished having a videocall with my Papa and Mama who were excited to share their new hair cut style today. LOL. They are my favorite constant chatmates everyday as well as my sister with no days we won't be talking to each other. It's like part of my routine to check on them before Akyn goes to school in the morning so they can see their cheerful grandson to start the day happy. Speaking of Akyn going to school today, he was two minutes late than his usual schedule in waiting for the school gate to open just... Read More

Thrifted Home Decors Upcycled

My left arm still feel sore after I had my second dose of my Covid Vaccine. It's the only discomfort I felt after having the jab. Although I'm experiencing a little discomfort with my arm, I would still want this post to get done to share to my Akynfullhouse avid readers. Hope you're all doing fine as well during this sunny Spring. Thank God Winter is finally over. We can enjoy the sunny weather whilst having fun outdoor.😂 This is me before having my vaccination yesterday. Solo bus rider. What's our lovely post for today? It's one of my favorite... Read More

Investment

I should have posted another blog post yesterday but I got exhausted in spending almost six hours finishing my do it your own beautifying my toiletries organizer. Look how badly rust had almost taken over the original beauty of this silver stand. After a year and a half of usage it turned out like this but never had I thought about disposing it. I'm not that type who would normally let go of my purchased stuff not unless it's totally impossible to restore them. I value where my money goes that means every item I buy has always a special...

My Craftsman

Finally it's weekends. I guess many have been waiting for the end of the week to come getting a break from the work stress. I love weekends, too because it's our time to relax with my boys. No school, no online work for Mon which would mean we can shop together without worrying of any schedule to abide. ❤️ I'd prefer to hang out with my family most of the time making our bond stronger. If I say no to social invite that would mean I want to have my family time more than anything else.( wink) What's up for... Read More

Valentine’s Day 2021

A bit late for this post for our Valentine's Day celebration because I'm trying to catch up with everything pretty Mommas. How was your heart's day everyone? Mine started with going to work for a long day. Haggard, well yeah. I initially had it scheduled as my annual leave however, my manager requested if I could move my leave and be on shift on a weekend due to staffing issues. Usual problem on a hospital setting, I know! A week before the 14th of February, I've already told Mon to skip my favorite bouquet of flowers for this year and... Read More

Mon’s First UK Employer

I'm writing this post while feeling so overjoyed with our very first blessing for this year. What a nice start, isn't it? Before I'll share more about it, let me show you our first attempt of making sushi at home. Mon and I are both a great fan of Asian cuisine. Mon had his wedding proposal last 2014 in our favorite Korean restaurant. You can really tell from that special event how much we crave for Korean dishes. So, for tonight we decided to make our own version of Sushi. Bought my ingredients from an Asian store in Hull, Chong... Read More
