I have been officially a mother for one year and 10 months and 17 days.

A few more to go and Adi and me will celebrate the big day!

Officially 2.

Adi will turn two years old this August and my how time flies so fast.

One moment I see him and he is still like a baby to me. The baby I will alyways cuddle along at night and
every mornings that I wake up.

Each day, I am thankful.

Thankful for the days that I get to spend with him.

Being at work is like a pain and a sweet thing all rolled into one.

I am glad that I have work to be able to sustain our needs, my son's and my family's.

I am grateful for each moment I see myself become a strong person amidst all the trials, misses, one cannot always say that the road is easy.

Motherhood will never be easy.




Each day. Life is unfolding. As we teach our child about life they show us what really Life is all about.

No one will ever understand the pains, the simple joys, the strength a mother has to master.

How simply we set aside our joys, our time and our efforts to raise our kids.

To feed them when they are hungry, to cloth them when they are cold.

To be their source of strength and them our only source of joy.

We are strong because of our children.

And that no body can ever break the bond that was there since we carried them inside our wombs.

No one else can replace or even surpass this.

That is why today, I am forever grateful that I am a mother.

Let's celebrate!

Cheers!

Hi Mommsies!

But don't you worry kasi now I will be announcing na my Reader of the Month for June.

 I have been busy with Adi lately he has been having dry cough associated with vomitting.

I was so worried..Kaba puyat at pagod ako at this very moment mga muther.

Anyways, I hope you there in the Luzon area are doing good. Grabeh din ang bagyo noh?

Note: Adi is already turning 2 this August and sometimes I am really troubled at how he still cannot manage to talk. It saddens me a bit. But I am still thankful that he responds to me whenever I try to talk to him.

although it's kind of Minion-ish. hehehe... ilove you baby anak!

Hi Mommies! you might wonder why. a picture of a sewing machine pops up on your screen.
Well, i will be having a round up of crafting posts here in YMT.

For a quick start, i wanted to show you the sewing machine's anatomy.
Few may know it but, my grandma has been a dressmaker hmmm way back 1960's here in CEBU.
And it has been the family's lifeblood. Our bread and butter.

Sewing machines have been a part of my childhood. And it has brought good memories till now.
I would like to share some of my sewing stories with you. If you want please let me know by leaving your comments down below. =)

Sewing seems difficult but it is easy if you just gave it a try.

Cheers to us!
and let's get crafty.... there is always time to imagine and create.

MAY this POST INSPIRE you!

The subject may intrigue you into thinking that I am sexy. But well it doesn't go too well with me right after giving birth last 2012.
so bear with me as i make the intro of this hopefully 60-day weight loss challenge.

Currently, I am 138 lbs.

and I am really hoping to get back that pre-pregnancy bod. ;D

it doesn't have to be really that giddy with it, but i have my own reasons.

First, I want to fit in my old clothes.
Second, I want to promote that healthy lifestyle for my family.
Third, I can't single out the fact that i am already having a hard time moving and getting around the house.
Fourth, it's hard to keep up with a growing ever-energetic baby boy with all the pounds.
Fifth, I need to skip all the unhealthy foods i habitually take in.
Sixth, I am a running enthusiast and i want to be back on track after my Cesarean Operation last 2012.
Seventh, it's never too late to wear a bikini. haha LOL!
