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) who’s looking after my Akynfullhouse. Love you Teddy!( ayeee😂) The meat of my blog today as it says in the title is all about my maternity shoot last November of 2024. I never ever imagined I would still be able to experience this kind of fun activity during my pregnancy. I didn’t even expect to get pregnant again in the first... Read More

Non stop rain for the past two days here in Hull. I am really missing summer now.😒I am a summer baby lover. So here I am finishing my next blog post of our Cornwall trip whilst fully covered with my cozy blanket at home. Anyway, back to our main subject for this morning, we made it sure to book an activity in our everyday stay in Cornwall. Of course, it seldom happens when we visit the place, we needed to make the most of it. Booked it online two days in advance for everyone in the group to be able... Read More

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

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.😒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...

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)🤣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

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. ❤️ 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)😍 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

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.😍 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

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?❤️❤️❤️ 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

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

I am listening to the sounds of a smooth instrumental Jazz in 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 season🤣It's hard to please the humans of... Read More

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.❤️ 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

I kept on staring in our backyard to check how's our newly painted garden fence would look like. It absolutely looked so stunning! I am a happy Momma here. Although our finish output still needs more coat to follow but the current state now pretty looks amazing. I am just waiting for a warmer weather to continue painting. It's spring but UK's weather here in the northern part still feels chilly for me. I need Mr SUNSHINE so badly.🤣 We started our garden makeover last Sunday because our Akyn kept on insisting we should start painting this month. Alright then!... Read More

Two weeks of having Akyn at home during their school break allows us to spend so many bondings together. He's currently at his very clingy stage.Wherever I go in the house,he's there also doing something just to be near me.(LOL) This Momma is enjoying every bit of his clinginess! We haven't booked any travel plans for his short vacation just because we got to prioritize our finances.The fact that we've just paid our processing fee for my visa renewal last month that would mean we are still recovering financially. Got to pay those important bills first Momma! Welcome to the... Read More

With the start of our Akyn's Easter holiday this weekends, we are tied to our mommy and daddy duties 24/7. I always love when our boy is at home because we can spend more time with him. Kids grow up so fast and their needy stage won't last long. Many parents with grown up kids would always advise me to savor the sweet stage moment of my boy when he's still too clingy and too expressive to let me know he misses my hugs when I am at work. Time will come when they will have their own set of... Read More

I still can't believe my little man got invited to perform his solo piano performance last Saturday,16th of March in Cottingham. Akyn was so excited and looking forward for the special day to come. Who would have thought we will be able to experience to be part of the beautiful musical event like this in the UK. It was our first time seeing young people performing using musical instruments like the harp, violin and the angelic voices of the children,too gave me goose bumps. It wasn't just an ordinary performance because the participants in the event were mostly winners from... Read More

I'm feeling a bit better now compared to the weekend horrendous back pain I had. Is this the sign of aging?Since I started working here as a nurse, my body had experienced all the ACHES🤣 I never had to endure before especially my back and my arms. These two body parts are the most overused muscles when I'm at work. Last Sunday, I had to ring in sick because of another back pain but this time it was the worst I had before.It was so painful ever! When I lay flat in bed, I can't roll to my sides because...
