25 Rules for Mothers of Daughters.

I found  this article in the internet. I did not write this article and found it to be applicable to me and my unica hija. So sorry I didn't find the name of the writer since it was written anonymously.

25 Rules for Mothers of Daughters...

1. Paint her nails. Then let her scratch it off and dirty them up. Teach her to care about her appearance, and then quickly remind her that living and having fun is most important.

2. Let her put on your makeup, even if it means bright-red-smudged lips and streaked-blue eyes. Let her experiment in her attempts to be like you…then let her be herself.

3. Let her be wild. She may want to stay home and read books on the couch, or she may want to hop on the back of a motorcycle-gasp. She may be a homebody or a traveler. She may fall in love with the wrong boy, or meet mr. right at age 5. Try to remember that you were her age once. Everyone makes mistakes, let her make her own.

Bonding Moments...Baking

Kids are such a joy to work with. They are passionate little souls that help you wholeheartedly once they put their minds and hearts into something.

At times when we feel like eating cookies, rather than just buy them, we bake them! And what better way to bond with your little ones than baking!  Whats fun about it is,

Bea's New Tweety Neighbors

photo from the internet

Just this weekend, while Beaboo and I were playing (yes I play with her too :) at the backyard, there was this little tangerine Maya bird (who looks a lot like the photo on the left) going back and forth in one of Lola Cora's hanging plants...

The Big Shift - Working Mom to Stay at Home Mom

Just recently, I was visited by one of my BFFs who is a busy career woman and mom who works for the Australian embassy. She informed me that she was granted a one year indefinite leave. Whew! Talk about being one of the fortunate ones in the corporate world. She was about to resign but her boss decided to grant her a one year leave instead! :) And so I started reminiscing about my days working as a corporate slave before

Beaboo Anecdotes...updates

Forgetfulness is a trait I am slowly getting accustomed to. Maybe due to aging...sigh! :) Still in my twenties and already becoming forgetful..hehe. So before this memory gap takes me on full force I am documenting my little girls latest antics... something to come back to once in a while. Please bear with me. :)

In my Barbie world...

Documenting some of our latest beaboo anecdotes...

***

I was in the bathroom taking a shower when I heard singing (and probably dancing too) 

"I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie wooorld.. imagination...life is my creation...c'mon Barbie lets go party..." 

Nope, it wasn't my little girl singing, it was the daddy. For daddy's sake, hoping we have a baby boy next.. LOL

To daddy with love...

I have never seen a dad as affectionate with a daughter as you are with yours. You never seem to run out of hugs and kisses for your little angel..always a smile as you say "pag laki nya ayaw na nya ng hugs and kisses from daddy so habang baby, papakin ng hugs and kisses" :)

Daddy the Photographer

My four year old can't really understand when I often tell her that daddy has a photo shoot or that daddy has to go to the studio to make people smile with his camera. She doesn't get the "photographer" kind of work. All she knows is when daddy goes to the city to shoot, he is at a mall 'naglalakwatsa' and it makes her sad since daddy didn't take her and mommy along. :)

Daddy off to a photoshoot with his gears and camera bag..

So it was a nice surprise for her when one Sunday, after our day at the mall,

La Familia

Families are people who are bound to you by blood whether they like it or not. These are supposedly people who will stick by you when you are at the lowest point of your life and will understand you when you are at your worst behavior....Ha! tough luck! The truth is, since they have no choice being affiliated with you by blood, makes them both ways -- either the strongest ally you can have or the strongest enemy.
