I Love Husband Because

...he taught me how to love myself just the way I am.

Holidays

It's been a hectic month for me; hence, the lack of posts. I've been busy working, and being a mom. My husbandmis busy with work and his masters. But we make sure we have time for us.

December is my favorite month. Not because it's my birthday month, it's because I love Christmas. Since I was a little girl I get this magical feeling during this time of the year ( not because of the presents...ummm, yeah). And I want to make Christmas as magical to our little girl. See, we have been living in our little home for almost a year now, meaning, it's the first time I get to manage almost everything daily. Also, I'm just new at being married so I've been learning how to communicate better. Moving on (and getting straight to the point), we do not own a Christmas tree (or any tree at all...). I've been wanting to ask Adam if we could purchase one...but I wanted it big, and deep inside I knew he wanted it small. So I never got around to asking. But everytime I look at Bean...the more I itched to get that tree.

Bravely, I asked Adam if we could buy a tree for this Christmas. And he agreed! And we got the size that I wanted, too! He's such a good husband, and a good daddy because I know that he said 'yes' thinking about our little girl. We want Bean to love Christmas, and the meaning of Christmas as much as we do.

Because Adam works during the day, and I have a home based job, I was the one who put up the tree...and decorated it too...with a little help from...who else...but...Madeleine Bean. I was surprised how well behaved she was. She even got the broom and cleaned up in her own little way. Anyway, here are a few photos of this month so far...

December started out bad for me. The first day this month, my iPhone got stolen along with my money, credit cards, atm, and licenses in a bazaar. But my mom told me: "Just think that the things that were stolen from you may be of some good use to the person who stole it. Whatever reason they had, just let it go. It's only material things and can be replaced. Maybe, there is something better coming your way."

True enough, she surprised me with an iPhone (this time in white) after a week. Also, I got my credit cards and licenses back easily. To top it off, my husband, daughter, parents, brothers (+ sister in law) made me very happy during my birthday yesterday. :)

Hope to post regularly from here on.

Happy holidays!

Today

Bits and pieces of our day.

Have a great week!

First Beach Trip

Since 2005, it has been a family ritual to go to our beach house every weekend. I always look forward to going there ever since. But as time passed, we rarely ever get to visit. Maybe everyone's been busy? Anyway, we decided to go with our parents.

We always wanted to bring Bean to the beach, we want to teach her to love it there (or any other beach). I think she enjoyed our stay, as she kept on running around, playing. She even slept late from too much fun. She was a bit scared ofnthe water at first because of the waves. But quickly adjusted and played. She had a blast. Here are a few photos from our trip!

Look at this tiny foot!

Bubu is tired...

We certainly enjoyed our trip! Hope everyone had a great weekent too!

Little People

Bean finds some little people interesting. She's been obsessing on them for almost a week now. She puts them everywhere--the bed, the chairs, the shelves, etc. I think she has an idea of how organizing is. Here are a few snaps of what she's been up to...

I think she's a turning out to be a little perfectionist. :)
We hope everyone has a happy weekend! We're off to the beach!

P.S. The little people are from the dollhouse My cousins gave Bean (Hi, Naning and Monang)!

Toughest Job

Nope, I am not pertaining to my home-based job. You'll find the toughest job in the world at home, with a toddler. You might think that the newborn stage is the toughest because of those sleepless nights, but you are wrong. Its just the start. I used to wish for my baby to start walking so that I wouldn't need to carry her around. Well, I got what I wanted, and it came all too fast! I didn't realize that my baby is now a walking, talking toddler (But I did treasure each day of her being an infant)!

I say its harder because you have to chase her around, make sure she's not doing anything that may hurt her. Every bump, bruise, and scratch really worries me. Also, everyday is not a walk in the park. There are bad days wherein she's in a bad mood, and won't listen. I thought those sleepless nights were the hardest, but the energy I spend playing and playing really gets me more.

On top of all that, I have a job to take care of, and a home to clean. I can do it all, yes. In this department, nothing is impossible. :)

I am lucky to have a supportive husband though. He cooks dinner every night as he can see that I already have a handful. Lucky me. He's easily the kindest, most generous, and loving person in the world for me.

I have learned to multi-task like never before! Lol. I can whip up breakfast and lunch, take a bath, organize the clothes, sweep and mop the floor, sterilize bottles, fix the toys, watch tv, and work...all with my little girl. :) Pheeew....they never taught that in school.

Here are a few snaps of me and my little girl's daily life when daddy is at work.

Life Lately (But not according to my broken iPhone)

Its hard not having my phone with me. The battery just gave up last week. I brought it back to the store, and they told me to wait 2-3 weeks for a replacement. So here I am, waiting. I am back to using my camera for takng photos. I just find the iPhone more easy to use because of the size. Anyway here are some snaps of our life lately.

We hope y'all had a great weekend!
