happy thanksgiving everyone!

Although we are not celebrating Thanksgiving in our corner of the world, there is really no reason for me not to be thankful for all the many blessings I received.

For my little man, who never ceases to bring a ray of sunshine into my life. I will never be the same without my little tot + I will always be eternally grateful to the All for giving him to me.

For my siblings, whom I know I can always count on, no matter what, am sure Mama + Papa are looking down from heaven, smiling at us. Thank you

For my PMC family, there has been a steady outpouring of blessings ever since I became part of this group + I couldn’t thank them enough. It was such great pleasure seeing a lot of you again.

For anyone who’s been nice to me in one way or another, you know who you are + I thank you.

So, to everyone celebrating Thanksgiving + even to those who aren’t, Happy Thanksgiving! 🙂

pinay mommies community second grand eb

A Second Grand Eye Ball has been planned a few days after the first one in April was finished, simply because there wasn’t too much time {read: less chikahan for the mummies :P} + we just couldn’t get enough of Pinay Mommies Community!

PMC GEB 2, PMC, events

+ so, after multiple online discussions + a lot of planning, the PMC Second Grand Eye Ball finally came to fruition. That particular Tuesday morning, not even the bad weather can stop the mummies from trooping to Aling Tonya’s for the much-awaited + highly-anticipated event of the year, + yes, we’d like to claim it the mummy bloggers event of the year 😀

the morning after

parenting, motherhood, home chores

The bliss of having gone to two major events {the PMC EB + the Postcrossing EB, which I will be posting in beautiful details very soon :)} in this mum’s month is slowly wearing off as I get back to my normal life + fall back into my daily routine. The most-welcome break of  being out for two days in a row is now taking its toll on me, particularly on my laundry basket. I was left with a mountain-tall one-week’s worth of laundry, which I have to wash by hand, mind you, as we have yet to get a new washing machine. Plus, there are the regular home chores which need to be done on a daily basis like cooking + doing the dishes, among others.

Add taking care of my lovely tot on top of that list + I will hardly have enough time to do anything else {it was a good thing I was able to put away my tokens + my freebies from the PMC EB + my sis obliged to take photographs of each item so I can post them on my blogs, before we slept that same day, that’s one thing less to worry about from my invisible long list}.

In times like this, I really wish I can afford to hire a house help, much like the ones from Maid Service Ashburn VA. But, time + again, I was reminded that that’s what I am here for in the first place. I quit my job + decided to be a stay-at-home mum so I can personally attend to each of my child’s need + to everything else that needs to be taken care of in the house. Oh, well, even I can afford to dream sometimes, right? ^-^
