Publishing a yearend blog post is something I do every year so I wanted to continue the tradition this year, despite being busy and sleep-deprived. However, this time around, I’ll keep it short because now, I have a needy newborn who requires my attention 24/7! (I am nursing as I type this) 2017 has been …
Our Fluffy Space Princess is so blessed to have not just one but TWO baby showers! Actually, that’s two baby showers and one celebratory dinner with Mike’s family, all to commemorate the coming of this little lady who’s already so special even if she hasn’t even come out yet! My sister Alexa threw us a …
A few weeks after our gender reveal with our family, my sister Alexa sent me a Viber message while Mike and I were strolling around the mall. She asked me if I was going to have a baby shower, to which I replied, “It depends. If someone throws me one!” She then asked, “Can I …
Bring on the pink coz we’re having a baby girl!!! After months of referring to our baby as ‘he or ‘she’ alternately just to be fair, we finally confirmed that we’re having our own Fluffy Space Princess. (That’s an Adventure Time reference!) No wonder I occasionally have some pink dessert pregnancy cravings. Cakes, doughnuts, cupcakes …
It still feels so surreal when I say it. Sometimes, I look at my growing belly and I feel the tiny kicks of my baby, and I am still in utter disbelief that – oh my god! – we’re going to be parents! Our guinea pig Booboo is going to be a big brother! “SO… …
Once upon a time, Mike and I experienced being models for a day… That time was our pre-nuptial / engagement shoot. Our parents and our parents’ parents probably never had something like this back in the day. But now, a pre-nup shoot is done by a lot of engaged couples to get people even more …
It’s been almost two months since we’ve moved into our new home! Right now, we’re still missing a few things like a dining table and a small couch, but so far, we’ve managed to turn this space into a place we can really call “ours” (well, until our lease contract expires, that is!). Before moving …
I know, that’s a, uh, GRAVE topic, but it’s something worth thinking about, especially if your blog is important to you, and even more so if it’s your source of income. For me, my intentions for my blog were very clear from the beginning. It wasn’t to make money out of it or to be …
My aunt asked me a few days before my birthday, “How old will you be this year?” Without flinching, I proudly said “Thirty three!” My cousin-in-law laughed and said, “You’re too honest! You should have said twenty seven!” (I could have said 8.25, actually. The advantages of being a leap year baby!) I was getting …
Most people finish writing their New Year’s Resolutions even BEFORE the New Year arrives, but me? I’m a little behind on that. But what I DID figure out early on was my ONE WORD. Sometimes, resolutions fail because there are just too many of them. We write a long list of “promises” to ourselves, only …
