When I look at my two boys, they both look so little and innocent, however, their genuine love for us serves as the pillar of our strength to strive hard so we can give them a comfortable life. They might still be too young though surprisingly, they can show their willingness to help us in their own little ways is beyond anything great I can imagine. As little as they are but I can see how they are growing as our little confidants for a lifetime. They gave me the gift of a beautiful motherhood. Mon and I gained our... Read More

I am intending to spend this year whilst I am on Maternity Leave to focus on my children putting a hold on everything that preoccupies my attention. All of those activities can wait but my kids will never be this small again. I am sure most moms can relate to this sentiment.♥️ That being said, here are the latest updates of being a stay at home mom this year. Also, a good to know info, UK is offering postpartum mothers a maternity leave for as long as a year to take before going back to work. Can you believe how... Read More

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

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

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 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 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

Perfect bed weather to those staying at home on a Monday morning like me.(LOL) Always flexing my rest days at the start of the week while most of the working class are starting their busy week, am I not?🤣Hope everyone's fine doing each of our own task for today.😘 We did a Sunday reset yesterday as a family. I never thought my boy would be so delighted to help me clean the house with us. He amazingly enjoys asking for a task on what to clean in the house to join the cleaning sesh. I was left with few things... Read More

Another overdue blog post that should have been completed on the first two weekss of October. I'm running behind with my blogs because of my working schedules plus the extra curricular activities as a mum made it difficult to find the peaceful state of the undisturbed moment to write on this blog. Hi five to all busy pretty mommas in the universe. Anyway, let's get started. Every first week of October, we have what we call as Hull Fair here and my Akyn is the number fan excited to visit the fair. I am excited for the street food ONLY... Read More

Yearly pumpkin activity is always filled with fun. We as a family usually go on a trip with only the three of us but this pumpkin picking activity is one of the rare moments we go out with friends together. Are we that too obvious as an introvert? (LOL) My baby boy is growing just like his parents who also enjoys solitude. I asked my little boy if he wanted to buy a big pumpkin to carve for the coming Halloween and guess what he said! "I don't want to carve pumpkins for this year because food aren't supposed to... Read More

It took me a while to write something new because I've been a so much of a worrier lately regarding some concerns about our owned properties at home that needs sorting out. It's a long overdue process that I should have dealt with before but I chose to procrastinate because I already contemplated the hassle both financially and most of all emotionally draining fighting to get what is ought to be MINE. I attended the Holy mass last Sunday to get more strength to overcome our family challenge at this moment, especially my Mama trying to display a brave face... Read More

June has been a kind month to us filled with all the joyful events to be grateful in life. Well, everyday should be a day I needed to remind myself to be thankful I am still breathing doing the things I love, isn't it? That's the spirit grateful Momma!❤️ Although I know that life ain't always sunshine and rainbows to be honest. Gloomy days are unfortunately part of the equation in this lifetime. I acknowledge my feelings when I'm down. However, I make it to the point to shoo those cloudy days and let thy sunshine warm my human body.... Read More

Hey pretties. I'm here again blogging something exciting. It's my rest day. Thank God for the day off freedom from stress.🤣 I've done all my house chores so rather than waiting for next week for my usual blog posting schedule, why not do it now whilst I got a bit of free time to release all my thoughts into writing. The most exciting part of being an independent working adult(LOL) is the freedom to decide what to do with your living space. Yeah,this addicted Momma to making everything aesthetically pleasing is on the move again for another house renovation project.... Read More

He's Father's day gift came four days earlier! I don't think Mon would mind the timing of getting his present if he's receiving what he's been wishing for. Toys for big boys quote is the classic example of this blessing. Thanks dear Lord for granting us another family grace.🧡 When we started our journey here as an immigrant, we already aimed in one of our long term goals for Mon to pass their required exams to drive. It's one of the struggles of an immigrant because it is a must to conform to their laws, pass their tests and do... Read More

We are all still feeling very elated after Akyn's performance last Saturday when he joined a piano competition in Cottingham. Mon and I are so proud of our baby's effort to overcome his fear of performing in front of a huge crowd. Almost everyone has that fear even me as a grown up I would be petrified to be on the spot. How much more for a seven year old boy! The night before Akyn's performance, he expressed how scared he would be for the next day and we, as the parents could at least offer our words of encouragement... Read More

It's been a few days since I had shared another blog post for my Akynfullhouse website. The holiday season for me has been extremely busy, not just because of being a working mother but also due to my other extra activities or tasks I needed to prepare for December. My Akyn's seventh birthday was one of my top priorities of my to do list. I did ask Akyn on how he wanted to celebrate his birthday if he wanted us to do the normal family travel get away we do during special events or if he prefers to throw a... Read More
