Motherhood is one adventure after another. I live, I learn, I write.
Define busyness: Back-to-back weekend bazaars for ManilaBaby Shop Global Pinoy St. James the Great Mommy Mundo Bazaar David's 5th birthday celebration With his cousins With his classmates I have a day job and the company I work for just had its Christmas party (1920s theme) I am pooped.

For Noah's birthday party, we did away with the traditional loot bags. We made our own loot bags when David turned one (see the Safari bags here) but with all the parties we've been too we have amassed a collection of bags and loot that we didn't really know what to do with them!

I spent a day at Fabella last Oct. 31, 2013. I was mentally and emotionally preparing myself for the visit, which is part of NIVE BABYY's ful wondercampaign, #CaringBeyondSkincare. I was a NICU mom and I know the toll of seeing your tiny baby all wired up in his isolette fighting to be healthy. Everytime I think about Fabella and the babies, I feel a heaviness in my heart. And so when NIVEA BABY told us that we will be given the opportunity to actually visit Fabella, the Maternity and NICU ward … [Continue reading]
