Being a Stay-At-Home Mom....

   Being a stay-at-home mom is never easy, I know its a cliche' but most of you would agree on me,... but what if I say that being a stay-at-home mom is very easy job and its easy as a pie...well I guess you won't agree, right?.
I've been a stay-at-home mom since my first born child came, I 
didn't choose it but I guess this is fate. To take care of my children. The more I wanted to go back to work, the more chance of having a badluck, hehe. And so, I got nothing to choose but to be a SAHM. At the start of being SAHM, I was really having a good time taking care of my son, I enjoyed it and loving it too much...but as the weeks, months and years gone by, I was starting to missed working. I get bored in what I am doing, I love taking care of my son, I loved reading him books, dance and played with him but there's something in me that I really wanted to do and that is working in the office. I've talked to my husband about it and ofcourse he loved the idea of me going back to work but the big question is who will take care of our beloved son ELIJAH. 
My husband and I don't like the idea of getting a maid or a "yaya" to take care of our baby since we heard so much about the "yaya hurting the baby, etc"...which we avoided. So we left no choice but I will take care of our baby.

And so years has passed, I got pregnant and now we have a daughter, we named her ERIN DOMINIQUE.
And now it seems that It is impossible for me to work...probably work at home but not in the offices. Besides, I am officially breastfeeding mom. 
Well to make this short, little did I know that in our daily routine, I was able to do everything without any regrets. I was happy and contented, as if like, I have everything. Which is true! I have a loving husband and two adorable children. 
So I can say that it is so easy to be SAHM if you will accept it wholeheartedly and enjoying it!!!

Thanks everyone for having time to read!!!

Moms BFF

   When you say SAHM (Stay At Home Mom) doesn't mean you will forget your self and just focus on taking care of your family.
Ofcourse you also need to take care of yourself, and part of that is to be beautiful inspite of doing all the chores inside the house while taking care of the children. As a woman we need to be beautiful inside and out. 
Are you wondering why there are some husbands who cheated on their wives? Do you sometimes feel that you lost your self esteem? Or Sometimes when you look at the mirror you'll see an old lady with fine lines on the forehead?...
Well that is because you tend to forget yourself. You have more time to other things...I'm not saying that you prioritize yourself more than your family or children, what I'm trying to say here is that HAVE TIME FOR YOURSELF EVEN IF YOUR TOO BUSY WITH YOUR FAMILY OR CHILDREN....

I have a quality time for myself and buy things for me.
Whenever theres a chance I passed by a beauty products, I would tend to buy like some lipsticks, or eyeshadow perhaps...
It doesn't matter if I occasionally use it but atleast doing those things and having those simple stuff would make me feel beautiful and boost my self confidence and ofcourse showing to my husband that I am still beautiful inspite of staying at house the whole day.

I want to share some of my bff to boost my self confidence...

Next time I will make a product review of my make-ups... We will start with the lipsticks.

Thanks everyone for taking time to read my blog!

Magic the Gathering

   Who says only boys can play card games?!!! 

When I met my husband he always talks about this game that I am not really interested to. He even stay up late to his friends house to play this game. Then when we got married, I thought that it would be nice to play this card games with my hubby instead of him going out at night to play with his friends. I thought as a wife it would be much happier if both of us share the things we like. And so one time, I asked him to teach me how to play the game, at first he was hesitant because he knows that I might get bored and won't like the game. And like what the saying goes "kapag ginusto, matututo" And that is what exactly what happen....I learned eventually how does it play.

MAGIC THE GATHERING is an trading card game that is somewhat a fantasy that should need a good strategy.

How does it play? Oh boy, its very crucial to explain, haha...
But I'll try my best to explain how I played and how does my hubby taught me....I play the role of a wizard which is called planes walker, I can cast a spell and help me to destroy other planes walker. I could also destroy other creatures. Players should have atleast 60 pcs or deck cards and not more than...but each player should have only 7 on hand cards.
Normally only two players can play the game but it depends on you guys...
Now, those are the basic steps the rest is up to the player strategy.

I just want to share with you SOME of my husbands card games...

See how many card does my hubby has? Hehe..


I'd rather want him to be addicted playing in this game rather than other not so good games...

Why is the baby Crying?

  When I became a mom, honestly I am so scared to death whenever I saw or even hear Elie crying. Because I don't know what to do, I don't even know why is he crying. All I can do is to carry him and sing a lullaby or watch while my mother-in-law carried him.
Then slowly I learned his "cues", meaning I learned from his action why is he crying. When he is hungry, when it is time to change his nappy, or when he just wants to cuddle him.
Each newborn has a same "cues" and from what I've learned you need to really be with him all the time when he needs you.

I found a picture which can help a new mom or a mom to be when taking care of her baby, especially if its time to feed her or him.

Then from this picture I've learned if he is really hungry.

safety first

   I, as a mom always secure my kids wherever we go...I always follow wherever they are...but having a toddler and a baby is a challenging job for me, especially whenever we are at the mall. I always keep an eye on my toddler. 
And I could say that having a toddler is always testing your patience. Your tots would sometimes scream at the top of their lungs to get the toy that they wanted or sometimes just to get your attention. And most of the time your tots loves to run while you chasing them. I don't have the strength to chase him the whole time inside the mall, so good thing I found this "Tot-A-Long" thing. It looks like a leash of a dog, hehe (excuse me for the term) but it is actually made for kids.

Elie and his lolody wearing the strap

 It is really a big help for us (my husband and I) to have this kind of stuff. When Elie outgrown with this, I am positively sure that Erin will also use this strap.
Thanks for those who invented this strap, it is really a big help for me.
Maybe some people, especially here in our country won't like the  idea of this strap, because it looks like you have a dog strolling along with you, but for me it doesn't matter how does it look like as long as I know my kid is with me or within my reach.

"Safety First" that is what my husband and I priority.

Thanks for Reading!!!
