Morning with the Mongo Plant!

Being a working mom is a tiring but a fulfilling role.  Since the latter part of 2013, I made this realization that I should not just balance my roles but I should prioritize motherhood.  After all, the kids are growing up so fast and they need our constant love and undivided attention.  I try my best to give each kid their “me-time with mommy”.  I play with them, read books, create stories, write their names, draw silly characters, and the list goes on.

The other day, I decided to wake up late.  However, K1 who usually wakes up ahead of us, got too excited when he saw the sunlight coming through our window.  He then woke me up with his mongo plant in his little chubby hand!  He asked, more on forced, me to get the mongo plant from him and to hold it where it could get the maximum rays of the sun!

Here is the ever-obedient mom doing what she was told --

 

Oh, I'm good with sticking with schedules when it comes to work.  But with motherhood, the kids are just too demanding that you cannot say no to them.  How can you resist this curious kid who wants to know the answer in everything?  Well, that is how I usually start my day.

By the way, I saw this article from Yahoo that you can grow Quinoa at home, just like mongo seeds.  Since Quinoa is a staple at home and we have few stocks left, may be I can ask K1 to plant some for us.  That is, if those store-bought and packed Quinoa are still capable of being planted.  Or may be I can ask the hubby to plant some and tease him that he really has no "green thumb" should he fail to grow those Quinoa grains.

Will update once we succeed in making those Quinoa grow! :)
 

I'm back from a hiatus!

I have been wanting to write but cannot find the time. Instagram took the best of me not only because it is easier to share pictures there but also because you don't have to write anything and just caption the pictures you post. 

 

Further, since I am sharing more about my experiences as a mother of two naughty and playful kids, I decided to make it more personal by having my journal wherein I write my kids' experiences and my observations of them. That way, there is something tangible I can pass to them when they grow up. That is, if my boys are even interested with mementos. 

 

To keep the most of the 2014 Starbucks Planner my sister KCL gave me, I'm using it as my journal. Credits to my not-so-little-sis, she's on her way to her 6th SB Planner.  The little one I'm keeping for my hearings.  That little one fits in my purse!

 

 

At any rate, I will try my best to update my blog for me to document what ever I come across to. But for the most part, I will be sharing the joy of motherhood and our journey as a family. 

 

Seen here are my two boys and their cousins who were from the US during the holidays. 

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I would be able to update this humble blog once in a while.

 

Happy 2014! 😊
