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

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.😁 Anyway, let's get...

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

Happy sunny day everyone. It's seldom to have a very nice weather like this in the UK. Make the most of it while the sunshine last. Last Sunday, after my fourth shift coming from succeeding nights, my boys bought our second mini inflatable pool after they went to church. Our first pool was quite big. We decided to have a smaller size just enough for Akyn to save water consumption.😂Because I already took a shower upon arriving home after work that would mean only Akyn will have his pool time while Mami and Dadi does the grilling for our BBQ....

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.😊 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

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....

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

It took me a while to update another blog to my website because I felt so exhausted 😩 last few weeks ago. Reading from the title of my blog, you’ll be able to tell what good news I am about to share to you pretty Mommas.Yes, I am carrying our second baby in the family. 🫶🏼 We’ve been trying for so long to have another child and we’ve actually reached the point when we already accepted that God might have only destined me to have one baby in my lifetime. But then, without us expecting, the most awaited happy blessing... 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
