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? ^-^

you are my i love you

I stumbled upon this beautiful piece on Popkin Garbr whilst I was browsing through my other e-mail. I saved the message to my desktop thinking I’d love to share it here. It pretty much sums up this mum’s {+ I would bet my bottom dollar, most of the other mums out there} sentiments about my little man.

This is actually a free printable + comes in blank + pink color, too, for mums with little darling daughters. I plan to print this out + hang it in our bedroom, one of these days. You may download them here + while you’re at it, you might as well check out these I Love You Quotes, too. 🙂
