MIDWEEK MOOD: SPRING AWAKENING

Hello!  hope you had a good easter!  this week had been a very slow days for me since i was stuck at home needed to be home for some phone calls.  apart from our usual stroll to the highstreet shop to buy some vegetables and fruits mostly for jc.  also i couldnt help to feel a bit disappointed with my company not giving me the flexible working hours that this country's government has given as womens right. especially if they have a young child.  I could have made an appeal  but beacuse i was on our holiday, i missed the 28 days period.    Finding out that i couldnt have a flexible working hours and the feelings that i couldnt leave my baby to anyone else but his own father really came as a shock to me.  the realization that i might have to leave my career to look after my baby really did sadden me.  otherwise my life could have been perfect!!

Well,  i guess nobody could have a perfect life otherwise life could be dull.   I might just be heading to a new direction, new career,  A NEW BEGINNING.....  A CHANCE TO LIVE WHAT YOU LOVE.... to follow what god is directing me.   i could have fight for my rights....  but i simply didnt have that feelings in me.   i live for todays god's blessings,  i know as long as i work hard and follow my heart.  me and jc would always be ok.

this moment i took this photos,  i know god is listening to my prayer....

a midday rain....is so needed to grow wonderful plants.

here comes the sun....

a time for a good cup of coffee...

i feel lucky that i live in a place where every season look wonderful.   a view of the skies make me feel closer to heaven.  everyday is a new day...a new beginning....

and to see this smiley face is pure love and joy.....

MY WEEKEND: one bright lazy afternoon with my li'l man

li'l jc

 hello ....just to share some photos taken this week. we've  been so busy going to the children center everyday so this good  friday i decided to have a nice quiet afternoon with my little fella,  cook a lovely meal for myself, take snap photos of the little cruiser while i do some editing on my polyvore.   i  had been noticing my little man had started to develop a bit of a cheeky character , learned what make mommy tick.. constantly trying to do things that i stop him to do.  so im trying to do reverse psychology.  just had to child proof my house to avoid him getting hurt.

this picture has a lot of resembrance to his daddy...



Egg hunt?

snack for the li'l man.....melted cheese on toasted bagle and cherry tomatoes

FASHION FRIDAY: my li'l dribbler

remember i used to do some fashion styling on a friday using  whatever i have in my wardrobe.  its a way to encourage myself to try to look after my body and well-being.   coz i believe whatever you wear will always looks better if you look after yourself.  but the life of a  full time mom is really hectic, no more gyms for me, after 25 years of being an active gym member.  even though i always promise myself not to let myself go down that root of becoming just nothing but jc's mummy.  on your own, it can be a hard motivation.  here... i still feel not fully myself.. exhausted,...lack of sleep and feeling F. A .T...

my model ....

but i wouldnt trade my new life of being a mum to this gorgeous adorable little boy..... even though he's such a handful.  here modeling his new bib collection .

MY WEEKEND: spending easter at home

Easter is a time to reflect, pray and spend quality time with your love ones.  i just dont know how chocolate eggs came to get involve in easter???  perhaps when you dont believe in god, you dont believe in celebrating easter in a biblical way.  Growing up in a strict catholic country,  easter is started with series of days of fasting and prayer(novena) or attending mass.  this is to commemorate jesus suffering and death.  then when jesus was ressurected was the time we celebrated which is the easter sunday.  i guess this is the day in our modern times where we can have the things we love in easter.

love this paul smith bunny from last year easter collection.

 



easter little something for jc.

hope you all have a happy easter.....



INSPIRE ME MONDAY: pop colors to inspire happiness in your home.

here are some of my favorite this season's home decor available now at john lewis.  has anyone heard of color therapy?  well i believe on it. colors can reflect the state of mind.  and those who live with small children, colors also stimulate their brains.

color option

these can make a contemporary mobile for your baby's room.

INSPIRED BY KIDS: a baby's den



hi!!!  especially to mum's out there,  if you are like me who like's minimalist decor  and a tidy freak but have to give up for the sake of your child's development, the important of play.  we are our child's first and most important teacher.  play helps our child to try out new things, make connections, take risks, make mistakes, solve problems and express their feelings.  playing is important for your child's learning, thinking and development.  it is also the heart of how they begin to make connections and develop their understanding of the world.





the new look of my living room....i tend to rearrange everything around so jc dont feel bored, he is a kind who likes to move and about, ( little transporters) likes movings things and carrying, pulling, emptying.  when jc goes to bed at 7pm everything goes to that boxes under those lack tables including the pop up tent. so i could have my space again.











pop up tent for a little nook. but he prefers to pull down at the moment.

my hallway as a play area. 

this rug was bought in a flea market in my highstreet, it was perfect size to my narrow hallway.
