I chanced upon this cool illustrations that perfectly describe what it’s like to be a parent by Mama Ilustrada in Smart Parenting. This is really spot on and I was giggling while scrolling the page. I’m sure many parents can relate to this cute illustrations of Natalia Sabransky. Yes, motherhood is LIFE CHANGING! In the best ever way though :) I enjoyed my pregnancy actually, except for my first…

She’s not a fragile infant anymore but a very hyper toddler already! She seems independent walking around and playing with everything she sees. She likes playing with anything electronics and climbing! This toddler should be carefully attended to, you cannot miss even just a second!

Though Olivia gives me a lot of scare I love this baby so much! She’s a sweet baby and is a joy to us! I cannot help but be marveled of her milestones. Much as I want to be with her 24/7 to witness everything, I cannot because I’m a working mum. That’s why it’s a pain leaving her every morning but a bliss when I get home. As much as possible, when I’m at home I give my full attention to her. I play with her and hug her and kiss her as often as I can!

This 52 Week Project is an inspiration from the blog Practising Simplicity.

There’s a common saying amongst mothers, first coined by writer Gretchen Rubin in her book The Happiness Project: “The days are long, but the years are short.” Indeed, our days of mothering babies and young children can be tiring and messy; a cycle of washing, settling, cleaning and playing. Sometimes they’re monotonous and seemingly endless. But then, without so much as a blink, the sleepless nights and mornings at the park are over, and we’re sending our children off to school, hesitantly cutting the metaphorical cord once again.

This Project is my way of creating portraits/memories of Olivia because, yes, time flies so fast :) My Olivia just got one year old last December 13, 2015 and for the week thereafter is my week 1. I hope that I will be able to maintain this so I could also make my blog active! Help me God!

My Baby is now a Toddler!

I can’t believe it! I now have a toddler! My small, fragile baby is now a super hyper, curious toddler! Happy 1st birthday my Olivia! I hope and pray that you will be happy & healthy. That you will grow up to be beautiful, kindhearted and humble. That you will be a blessing to everyone around you. And that you will be able to live your dreams I also pray that daddy and I will be good parents to…
