Julie & Julia

So what’s up with these two? Well since their Facebook page doesn’t have any activity for almost 2 months, might as well give you a hint of what they are up to these days.

 

There you go. My two lovely dovey daughters, Julie & Julia. Big sister is growing up very attentive and curious with the things around her. She would gradually ask from time to time the things that is new to her. Like asking why do we eat? What’s inside her tummy? Why she needs to take a bath? Why she need to dress up? Why she needs to poo? Thank God I’m passing the set of questions she’s throwing at me. Questions of a toddler that I’m having trouble lately on what and how to respond. A commenter told me once, that being a stay-at-home-mom is like going to school as well. Because you have to be ready with all the questions of your teacher child and do a lot of research on how to answer them in the most appropriate and nomad way.

The little one on the other hand is getting all the attentions lately. She smiles a lot and she makes a lot of funny noises too. Her sleeping habits are normal, except that she stays awake longer in the day – which makes me a hands on mom. I’m keeping up with it though. I’m thankful that my mother-in-law is here to help out with the cooking. Otherwise, I don’t know how I will ever get through a day.

That’s it for them. Big sister’s birthday is coming up soon. In 10 days, she’ll turn 3. While the little one’s turning 5 months on the 4th – I’m getting old! Gosh!

I miss scrapping. I lost my mojo sometime last September, and I’m still looking for it. If by any chance you came across with it, share some with me please? Have a blessed Sunday everyone.

For A Great Success

Dear Jhari,

Embrace failure.  Fail forward.  Fail quickly.  So that you can start again.
It’s the only road to success.

To your great success,
God

P.S. Jhari, you will succeed.  I know.

Waking up in the morning and reading an inspiration such as this made my day. Now I’m confident that I truly am in the right path. Ya Rabi, Ya Allah. We lift it up to you. As always, may your WILL be done.

Have a blessed Sunday everyone.

Lily Dearest

It’s been a while since my last post for our dearest Lily. She’s turning 5 months this coming 4th of November. She’s growing up so fast that sometimes I wish I could just pause the time. I’m thankful that her sleeping habit are not the same like before. Bedtime is strictly at 9:30pm, maximum of 10pm. The big sister is still adjusting, though she knows that it’s time for bed. It will take her though to really fall asleep after an hour, but Lily tuck herself Masha’ Allah at the time I lay her down on her crib.

More of her:

  • She giggles a lot.
  • I noticed that she loves to eat, so we give a her a taste of a milk biscuit and a banana once or twice. I can’t wait to see eat solid food by 6 months.
  • Her hair is getting lighter
  • and her skin color as well.
  • Her eyes is turning golden brown in the middle (I have the feeling that this time, her eye color will be the same like her Papa).
  • She love Tete (grandma).
  • and she loves her big sister too.

That’s all for now. Living you with a photo of her playing around with her toes. Her favorite snack of the day, hahaha! :) Yeah I know, she looks like me aye?

Think About It…

For Dad

November is a special month for us. For the 1st week, we’ll be celebrating the BIL’s birthday, 2nd will be for Julia (she’s turning 3), and 3rd will be a week for my dad’s birthday. I found a site that offers great gift for Dad for any occasion. Great ideas and good deals. Looking something to cheer up dad, and I hope he’ll like it too – well I’m sure he will. He’s fond of surprises. A busy birth-month for us.

Battle of the Tomatoes

Have you ever heard such of a thing about the tomato fight? The other day I was able to check about it and I was amazed on how dedicated these participants are with this type of event. So basically the major thing about this is to throw each other with tomatoes, and they call it the Tomato Battle. A different type of thing that you can experience from time to time and it looks FUN!

Before you join such event, I’m happy that security and safety of each participant are being considered and a first on their list. Signing an e-sign waiver, age restriction (should be 14 years old above), no stuff that could cause injuries to each participants (example: bottle), and the one thing I like is for you to make sure that the tomato that you want to throw to another person should be crushed first. Not just fun, but a safe battle indeed. 5 cities in the States will sponsor this event: Seattle, Norcal, Socal, Texas and Georgia. I have friends living in Seattle, I think they will sign-up.

Looking over the event photos and seeing the expressions on their faces, it looks like once you start throwing, you’ll never stop. Thousands of tomatoes all over your body, exciting!
