Books

While rearranging the house to create yet another school/study area, KC asked if she can bring down some of her books because " it's starting to take over my room." Her words, not mine. I said yes. Boy, do I regret saying that.  

.... And that's just the beginning!

What was really sweet was when she saw this book! She went on to say how "my Kuya brought home this book and he told me about it and it was the very first book I really liked." Looking over to her Kuya, she went on to say ," then Kuya, you introduced me to the Percy Jackson series."

 

It warms my heart that my kids bond over books! And that love of books I can truly say they got from ME! 

Happy Saturday! Such a fruitful day! 

My Very Short Thanksgiving Post

Thank you! There is only one measure of happiness for me! My children! Thank you!

Happy Thanksgiving! Hold on to what's most important and do not focus on shallow things.

Just Like Gibbs

Its no secret how much we love NCIS or any cop drama shows but NCIS hold a special spot up there.

Anyway, early Sunday, we were watching a documentary that featured Cher and it said how Cher's mom was married 8 times and out of nowhere, Josh goes, " hahahahaha, Ate, Mom! Just like Gibbs!" 

Oh, I love my kids! Sorry, I influenced them too much. Blame my Nancy Drew and Hardy Boy's years! Hahahahaha.

Sweet Alone-Time with my Princess

Last Sunday after church, KC and I went out to do a little shopping. I've been really good about spending lately due to so many reasons.

Anyway, we had so much fun just shopping around. One funny moment is " wow, I get it now why you don't like to shop at Macy's mom, it's a mess!" Hahahaha. Nordstrom rocks!

But the reason for this post is to tell you what I discovered about my baby! That- she is still a baby! Inspite of the hair coloring phase, the I-only-wear-jeans time or the don't-tell-me I-know-it all screaming fest with me, she is a child at heart!

Lookie!

Getting all excited with this sword!

And she can't remember we've passed/posed by this a million times! Maybe because those times, I asked them. They didn't see why. Now they do.

But finally, her "shhhh, don't talk to me mom" moment came when we got to her paradise also known as Barnes and Noble!

My baby is still a baby but slowly being a lady! 

Happy Friday folks!

Conversations With A 15 -Year Old

You already know we are crazy.

You know I talk to the kids about everything. Everything. Seriously.

Anyway, here is a text convo I had with Pherry today. Back story--- he did not want to go to the school dance tonite and I told him I'd pay if he did. Sure enough he wants to go. So I had to drop off the payment at the school.

My Baby Boy is No More

Aaaaw! Look at him!

I am not really very keen to school pictures much. They are expensive and getting really ridiculous! But this year, he requested it because it is his first year in "middle school." He is only in 5th grade!

I miss my baby! But,wow!

Happy Monday!

Monday Brag Day

Amidst the pain and horror of a tragic weekend in my home country, I find joy in the very little things in my life.

I believe that's what's important anyway. Finding joy in little things!

So proud of my baby boy! Josh is such a responsible student and I am immensely proud!

What about you? What makes you happy? Whatever makes you happy, even the little ones, makes sure you share it--- you never know who you inspire! Happy Monday and God bless us all!
