Happy first of June everyone. Hope you are all having a lovely start of a warmer weather. I am truly beyond happy enjoying the sunny skies everyday. When the sun is up and so as my mood.🌞 Whilst scrolling my phone last week, I came across with a page advertisement announcing the opening of their farm to the public for strawberry picking. We haven’t tried strawberry picking activity as a family. We normally only go for pumpkin picking during Autumn season to which Akyn enjoyed it a lot. So, why not try this new experience then with Amyn to join... Read More

Hello Summer! I couldn’t be more thankful to experience again one of my fave UK weather, the summer. The vibrant colours of the flowers, the sun shining so bright and the freedom to wear lighter clothes are only few of the perks I love about this season. As they say that a bright world equates more to happy people. I say a big YES to that pretties! It’s been a few weeks since I posted another blog. I am soaking every warmth of the sun putting blogging on hold whilst this Mama enjoys the outdoors.😂 This blog post is all... Read More

Yes, the long wait is over for our Akyn’s ILR approval. The answer to our prayers were given to us last week and this is a five year wait in the making. I still can’t believe it has been five years now since I brought Mon and Akyn to join with me here in the UK. You’ll never notice how time flies when every moment spent together is full of happy moments as a family, isn’t it? Thank you Dear Lord for granting the settlement status for our baby here in this country. Too many grateful blessings came this month... Read More

Here comes the nicer weather pretty Mommas! Hello Spring! Sunny and warmer season like this never fails to elevate my mood. Another thing that excites me during spring is to say bye to the thick, heavy coat and welcome to the lighter more colourful clothes to wear in going out. I can’t wait to enjoy my favourite season of the year! That being said, our family of four started going out to enjoy nature. Amyndeen isn’t a fan yet of going out of the house because he loves more to chill at home.For sure he will eventually get used to... Read More

Happy fourth month Baby Amyndeen. Your chubby cheeks are just so irresistible for me not to kiss them. Daddy, Mommy and Kuya are all so happy seeing you grow everyday. We love your little voice now that we are starting to hear them from you. Those cooing, babbling and your laughter completes the joy in our home. We did start our day with a DIY photoshoot for our little Amyn’s fourth month. My three boys and yes I am the only queen at home.(LOL)🤣 Ordered this cake from Euphoria Cravings.Please click the link for their FB profile.You’re welcome. It tasted... Read More

Starting my day by saying,”Thank you!” As they say that gratefulness is the key to the manifestation of our dreams .❤️ A hundred percent agree because the fact that I was able to wake up today means I have another chance to enjoy life and be grateful with everything that comes with it. So, let’s start pretty Mommas with a sprinkle of positivity today. I have so many reasons to be glad for be it few little wins in life or the bigger blessings which my heart can’t fathom how I did manage to be blessed with so many precious... 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

This is the part three of my blog post about our recent Maternity and Newborn/Sibling photoshoot with Nino Travagli Photography. One nice thing of the package deal we got for the photoshoot was the no charge for additional family member we wanted to include during the supposed to be Newborn shots of Amyn. We decided to make it a combo shots of both our Akyn and Amyn together in one picture together.❤️ My heart is so full of happiness scanning thru each of their photos together. I still can’t believe I was gifted the chance to be the mom of... Read More

I can't believe it took me more than a month to publish another blog post for my website.💕That's the reality of how hard the fourth trimester is of postpartum mothers like me. To all the Mommas out there trying their best as well to survive each day,virtual hugs for all of us. This too shall pass! So, let's enjoy this moment while it lasts. My blog post today is the continuation of my previous post. Last year, we signed up for a package that included both the maternity and newborn/sibling photoshoot with Nino Travagli photography. It was such a good... 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

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....
