Despite all the rain, today was a good day. The weather has been nutty lately.  On Wednesday, it was sunny and hot with temperatures at about 25 degrees C (77 degrees F).  Then Thursday, it became incredibly cold and rainy with temperatures down to about 8 degrees C (47 degrees F).  In fact, it was snowing in some parts of Japan.  Some places had both snow and cherry blossoms in bloom!  It was pure madness and all over the news. Here’s a glimpse of my Thursday… I got quite a bit done today.  I did a bunch of cleaning and vacuuming.  I worked on myRead More →

Last post of the day, I promise… 3 posts in one day, talk about a busy day!  I don’t know about you but all this blogging has tired me out. Here’s a glimpse at my Wednesday… Wednesday E had a fever today which meant no daycare since they send kids home if they have a fever over 37.5 degree C.  Of course having a feverish E at home all day with me meant that I was going to go crazy at some point. Thankfully I didn’t. E was acting pretty normal today despite the fact that she had a fever and had some tummy troublesRead More →

Welcome to my Monday! Truth be told, this week is a little bit different from my usual routine.  I don’t often work on jigsaw puzzles on a weekly basis.  It just so happen that I bought one last weekend and want to work on it and finish it before the week is over…something I’ll explain later. If you want to see a bigger picture, just click on the one you want to see and a larger version will open up. If you actually want to read what my Monday was like…. Read More →

This week, I’ve decided to participate in Ali Edward’s “Week in the Life” project.  I’ll spend a week documenting all the mundane things that I do in my life and then put it together in an album form later. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while so it’s going to be fun.  My life isn’t very interesting so the next few posts this week will be quite boring to some.  Either way, you’ll get a glimpse into what I do on a daily basis now that E’s in daycare and I haven’t gone back to work or school yet.  Of course all thisRead More →

Recently, I read this incredible list that was put together by Jen over at Buried with Children. The original source of the list idea was from another blog, Life with Triplets. Anyway, Jen’s list pretty much hit everything on the dot but with a very humorous side to it. It also got me thinking about the 10 things that I’ve learned over this past year about motherhood that I never knew or had imagined before. So here is my list of 10 things I never knew until I became a mom (it’s a pretty lengthy read): 1) Cleaning dirty diapers isn’t as bad as IRead More →

Are my eyes playing tricks on me or is that a toddler you see? Wha….who….HOW….WHEN?! With just one more month left before she officially turns one, Ellie is looking and acting more and more like a toddler. My little baby who, not too long ago, couldn’t even sit up on her own or crawl is now a cruising/walking little person who can feed herself bread. It really feels like she just grew up overnight. There are days I feel like time couldn’t move any slower and I wish she could do more on her own. Then there are days where I’d watch her as sheRead More →

I know I don’t have many people read my blog other than my family (hi, mom, dad, meems, Nicole and auntie Mary) and a few friends (hi Jen and Angel!) but I figure there’s no harm in sharing this with you. Growing up, my dad has always taught us to be generous and to help those less fortunate than us.  It’s one of those lessons that’s stuck with me all my life and probably why I have no problem with donating to charity even when I’m tight on cash myself. No, I’m not going to talk about helping Haiti by donating to all the reliefRead More →

2010… Another decade has passed us by once more.  So far, January has been quite busy for all of us. Jason’s working on middle shift which means he sleeps in an hour or two and gets to come home for dinner and quality time with me and E. With E being so mobile these days, it’s more fun for Jason to interact with her. Ellie’s been quite active this month.  She’s heading towards toddler-hood and at quite a fast pace too.  Over the holiday season, she went from a baby that did a slow, jerky crawling movement to one that constantly needs to be chased. Read More →
