Who has time to make fancy meals for their toddler Who has time to make fancy meals for their toddlers everyday? Not me, for sure! 😁 Thankfully, Andi isn't (usually) a picky eater. When I only have 5 minutes to spare, I just put together a no-brainer meal like this sandwich composed of buttered bread, tomatoes, fresh spinach, melted cheddar cheese, and @papabearfoodph Körözött (Hungarian spiced cheese spread), which I discovered through my sister (hello, @alexailacad!). It's such a simple meal but Andi loved it so much that she wolfed down the whole thing! 👏 Woohoo!

One of my goals for 2021 is to be more mindful of One of my goals for 2021 is to be more mindful of our finances. But if there is one thing that we will definitely NOT scrimp on, it's @andromedaevesmith's vaccines. 💉 We have no second thoughts about investing in whatever will protect Andi from diseases because we believe that prevention is really better than cure. Safeguarding our kids' health is not just an optional choice. It's our duty.

I'm inviting you to join the Team BakuNanay group on Facebook. It's a safe space where we parents can discuss and ask questions about immunizations. Link to join is in my bio. 

I'm proud to be a BakuNanay... and if you swipe til the end, you'll see that Andi loves her BakuNanay. 😊❤ Here's to a healthier 2021! 

(Thank you, Ninang @maycarmelle for this cute doctor set!)

Instagram Memories reminded me that it's been 5 ye Instagram Memories reminded me that it's been 5 years since I quit the corporate world to pursue event hosting full-time! My husband has been persuading me for the longest time to just give it a shot, and it took me a few years before I finally jumped in at the deep end. Was I scared? Nope. I was terrified! I was trading stability for uncertainty. I kept thinking: "What if I don't make it?!" And Mike said "Well, what if you do?" 

I didn't know it back then, but the next 5 years after I handed in my resignation letter at my last office job would be some of the best and most fulfilling years of my life. I have NO REGRETS. And even if things didn't turn out the way I hoped they would, I would still feel the same. Life is short. Do what makes you feel alive. Don't be afraid to fail and make mistakes. You'll never know if you don't try, right? You wouldn't want to be haunted by 'what ifs'!

"There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask 'What if I fall?'
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?"
- Erin Hanson

@milkingbombsbyabc has a new baby: the Lactation M @milkingbombsbyabc has a new baby: the Lactation Mochi Bites! Chewy, airy, sooo soft, and too cute to eat, these deliciously savory treats make for a nice breakfast and brunch snack for breastfeeding mums (and kiddos too, as you can see in this video!).

After being on OMAD for 5 days (for spiritual reas After being on OMAD for 5 days (for spiritual reasons, not vanity), I finally gave in to my cravings and we had a little Latin American lunch at home. 

🍗 Roast chicken by @gambyschimichurrichicken. So many flavors going on in this dish and I could probably eat that chimichurri sauce with everything! 

🍰 Tres Leches cake by @kitchen_no7. It looks so simple but it's really nice! It's light, moist, and milky. My family loved it.

Luis and Lucho are lucky to have such a loving and warm mama who makes everything more beautiful and extraordinary. Really hope this pandemic ends soon so we can hang out again... even if it means just getting a free massage in the mall while taking care of our babies. 😊 (See 3rd to the last pic!) ❤️ Love ya!
