A few days before New Year’s Eve, I told my husband to set aside an hour or two for one day so we can have a 2024 Alignment Meeting. “What’s that?” he asked. I explained: “It’s really just a little Mama and Dada date where we sit down and talk about our goals and intentions …
Every year, I choose a ‘Word of the Year’. No long list of New Year’s resolutions, just a single word that serves as my touchstone that will guide my actions for that year. One word is definitely a lot easier to remember than a long list of resolutions! Last year, my word was PROSPER. It …
Our little family is growing!!! Yay! As I write this blog post, I am already on my 37th week of pregnancy, which means that Baby Number 2 could make her grand entrance literally any day now.

In contrast to our quiet New Year’s Eve celebration last year, our send-off for 2021 was buzzing with party music, disco lights, and lots of chit-chatting and laughter. For one, my mother-in-law flew from Australia to Manila in the middle of the pandemic to spend the holidays with us. Also, my sister Alexa just got …
Would you believe that we just finished taking down all our holiday decorations today?! Yes, we’re nearing the end of January but Andi kept refusing to dismantle our Christmas tree!

Sure, I’d like to crush my goals for this year, but I also want to leave a little room for flexibility and …
If you had asked me five years ago why I started blogging, I would have given you a straightforward answer. I would have said: “Because I love writing, taking photos, and telling stories.” Simple! Being a successful influencer and achieving growth as a blogger were the least of my concerns. How My Blog Started and …
What were you doing with your life 10 years ago? If you ask me, I was working as a writer for a small international school – a job that I loved even if it didn’t promise any opportunity for career advancement. Aside from my day job, I would perform as a lounge singer once a …
5 years old!!! Today marks the 5th anniversary of my blog ScenesFromNadine.com. Wow, time really does fly when you’re having fun! FUN – that’s the biggest reason why I started doing this anyway. It was never for the fame or fortune. You must believe me because I’m not exactly rich and famous now! I blog …
Happy New Year, everyone!!! What a crazy year that was, huh? I bet you all couldn’t wait to say “Good riddance, 2020!” I hope your New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day celebration was a BLAST, fireworks or no fireworks! As for me, Mike, Andi, we just had a small, simple, and quiet dinner at …
