Monthly Pampering

I say – the hardest job is being a “mom” because you are constantly worrying about this and that. I’ve gotten my husband into getting a massage bi-weekly now and he loves it. He used to be very reluctant to go for a massage because of pain but after the first time – there’s no saying “no” anymore. How can you resist a massage when it feels so good afterwards right? I enjoy massage since I was at a young age and it’s just a type of pampering. Being at home with a newborn and at the same time getting my blogging work done can get overwhelming too. But I never forget to pamper myself at the end of the week by getting a massage or facial done. It’s just part of life – you gotta pamper yourself to reboot your energy right? Don’t forget to treat yourself to something nice after a long week of work!

Scrapbooking Fun

This is my other hobby – scrapbook fun! Gives me another excuse to collect things too. Ever since I was pregnant – I’ve stopped working and just stayed home. Well not stay home every day kind of thing – I did go out with friends and families. I’ve also kept myself super busy on focusing my life with blogging. In another word – I took it more serious this time because I do want it to get somewhere with my life. This nine months flew by like a flash because of the hectic/busy schedule I set myself up to. I mean – it’s not bad – I do like it because time flies. But with all the work I pile myself up with – I still gave myself some fun time too. Spending time with friends, organizing and scrap-booking!

If you enjoy cutting things with scissors and making things look nice – scrap-booking is for you too!

Planning ahead with 2012

Have you planned ahead with your schedule yet? 2012 already and it’s MARCH! 1/4 of the year just flew by like a blink of an eye. I cannot imagine how 2013 will be like for us. Or will there ever be 2013? LOL – do you believe in 2012 end of the world? Well – I mean – if it’s going to happen – it will right? I’m not too afraid of it because I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot already in the past couple of years. But no matter what happens – life still goes on. This year is another fast year that’s going by – 2011 was crazy fast. Will time ever slow down for us? Or am I just planning too far up ahead?

Our Memories

Collage is finally put together and hung on the wall last month! Took me quite sometime to get my bum moving and to put collage like this on the wall. I’m pretty proud of my work here. It took me about an hour to put pictures together. It’s not only about putting them together – taking the time to pick out the pictures was quite hard too. These collage only has pictures of us. The first one is the pre-wedding phtoos, second is wedding day morning and church, third is wedding reception, and fourth is the past 3 years of us only.

I’m planning to get more of these frames for the future – so in our future home we’ll be having more hung up with little Jayden in them. It’s going to be neat

Summer is here!

Not lying – summer is here and it’s only March in Toronto! We are having such beautiful weather but I’m indoor most of the time with the little munchkin. It’s alright – we only go out during the weekend when hubby is home. I’m getting quite bored though – missed the freedom of just going anywhere and doing anything. But I’m still enjoying motherhood though! Summer is here and we are thinking of investing in a firepit table this year – so we can enjoy outdoors more. Haven’t decided which one to get yet though – this one looks pretty nice eh?

Things to work on this year

In terms in having a newborn baby – I know there’s a heck lot to learn and take in. But that’s not the only thing I want to work on this year. Although there’s a pile of things on top of my mind right now – one huge thing I want to work on is the relationship with my brother. It’s a quite complicated relationship because of all the family issues we had in the past. Some says – what’s in the past belongs in the past but these memories will always stay. I would want to be or you can say – learn to be a better, loving, and caring sister. I’ve been a sister for the past 20 years and I know I haven’t been the best sister because of all my stress and frustration in the past. I hope one day he’ll realize how much I really love and care about this little brother of mine. It’s hard to say these words but I hope one day he’ll feel that.

Our Valentine’s Day

I have a reason to why I date my months and years on facebook photo albums – it is because I look back and remember what happened this month or this year. I’m not good with memorizing things – so facebook is like sort of a storage unit for me to look back on things. So this is what I found for the past four years Valentine’s day! Yep – I had to look through the albums to remember exactly what happened!

This is our second Valentine’s day spent together at his place.

Third Valentine’s day at his place too – I think by than I was living with him already – time flies by too quick eh?

This is this years Valentine’s day – this year I am officially his wife and soon to be his son’s mama I know there will be MANY MANY MANY more Valentines day ahead of us and I’m happy that we’ll be spending it differently starting next year! Why? Can you guess why?

Home Organizing

Finally all organized and packed in boxes. My scrapbook goodies, wrapping goodies, and other little things. No more clutter messes on my table! It feels good to be organized and know where things is – instead of digging through things. I’ve been wanting to organize my stuff but never got the chance to. Since I don’t have much time left till the little one arrives – I had to clean this mess up. Everything must be organized before he arrives because I know he won’t give me anytime to do things like this. He’s going to want my full attention 24/7! Poor me – I’m going to miss a lot of my freedom!

Valentine’s day plans

Do you have any Valentine’s Day plans in mind with your special someone yet? I’ve thought about it ever since January and I was/am planning to make the husband dinner at home but I seriously don’t know how I would feel like that day. I can’t stand for too long these days because of the extra weight. Sometimes I’m more tired and lazy. I know making dinner at home is more thoughtful but I don’t think I can do it this year. We’ll probably go out for a romantic candle light dinner and just enjoy the day. I’ll make him something special next year. But if I feel like it – I’ll add baking a cake for this year. What’s your plans? Share with me!

Pantry Set up for Babies

I never thought about having a pantry place for the little man till my mother-in-law suggested it. Than that hit me – because this little guy does have a lot of things that needs to be put in the kitchen. So here it is – all organized for him. The only thing I need to do left is sterilize and clean everything before he arrives. A baby consists of more room than an adult eh? When I moved in – I didn’t need a place in the pantry or anything. Soon he’ll be taking over the family room with his bouncer/swing sets/play pan and you name it. What a baby!
