Get well soon on your birthday.

Please help us pray for my good friend Tschai who is battling dengue at a hospital right now. Get well soon Tschai. We pray for your fast recovery.

Tschai is a paper addict, a loving wife and a mother of two.

cupcake-cupcraze!

I was browsing for my soon-to-be-2-year-old son his birthday cake. I was planning to get him a Car formed cake but really it all depends on how big the D is. (D= dirhams)








But instead of getting on track, my eyes have wandered through these little pretties! I don't think I'll get over loving cupcakes!

We had cupcakes as our wedding cake back in 2004. Our cupcakes aren't fancy, they were simple and shy just the way I like it. After a few months, I realized it wasn't that original after all. A lot of weddings have resorted to cupcakes. A trend maybe? But even up to now, I am still charmed by how these little ones come together to create one magnificent theme for an occasion.




My friend, the very talented Jade has gone crazy over cupcakes too! She is popular for her naughty cakes and even the not so ordinary wedding proposal answer in a cake. I can't wait to go home and ask her to make me one of those colorful, sweet cupcakes... uh... maybe for Baby Manghud's Christening? I can make her Ninang and then it would be natural to give the cupcakes to her kinugos for free! hahahah good thinking! ;)

It must be a cupcake day for me! Karen just gave me a link of these cuties! I admire this pretty lady's grace in making these masterpieces. It's genuinely pure talent. Sorry, they're not one of those ordinary cupcakes. They're pendants! View more of anjeli's collection here.

Ahh...don't you just love weekdays without the boss at your back?

ZAIID turns a little older

I admire my boy. The way he picks up a game, or when puts on a show when everybody's watching him, and how he understands simple rules around the house. He breaks them once in a while, on purpose, watches us intently as we say "No, Zaiid..." then comes to us with his I'm-sorry-face plus a 5-second hug. So dramatic.

He's learning words one at a time. He wants to say them perfectly that he would make his little nose
lisngag in the process. His vocabulary includes new words like "Min" for milk, "Fava" for flower, "Bas" for blocks, "Cok" for clock, "Pish" for fish. He points, without a miss, to whatever object you'd ask him to from his favorite book of the month. I would want to think his brilliance can save the world, but that would just be a pure mother's pride.

At 22 months old, he's overweight (on a diet) but has not mastered the art of chewing, he's TV proof but knows what youtube is, doesn't like to dance, but has a good taste in music, loves anything watery - water dispenser, taking a bath, the sea, but hates drinking his water, loves to jump up and down or turning around until the world wouldn't stop turning, throws things in different ways and expects a different result, mimics his papa's acrobats and "magic" like a pro.

the making of: Tummy Adventure Journal II

I was always hyper on my first pregnancy - getting involved into fashion design show, getting into self-organized parties, and making a pregnancy journal. I guess it's pretty normal to go crazy that way because it's your first, and firsts are meant to be extra special. We want to capture every second of it.

Right now, I'm feeling guilty of not getting into this whole pregnancy journal. It's just that I can't seem to find time for it and I couldn't get the right materials around here. I always wanted something you can flip through or feel the words with your hands - and settling the journal digitally is not an option for me.

But...if I think of it really, starting it late is not that bad. Come May 17th, we shall find out Baby Manghud's secret - that is, what-is-between-the-legs! That would leave me enough time to find the right Boy stuff or Girl stuff for the Tummy Adventure Journal! Oh we can't wait!

Ok then, guilty feelings gone!

Mamas&Papas

Last friday, we came to a shop in Mercato called Mamas&Papas. It was surely an eye-catching shop for expecting parents - everything you see is heavenly.

Zaiid my 1.9yo immediately fell in love with the place. He got off from his stroller, took off his shoes, grabbed a huge teddy ("brother bear" we call it) and jumped from one bedroom setting to another. He even wants to try on some walkers!

The prices, well, they're pretty up there. But I'm not complaining, everything you see is worth the penny. Although the maternity section don't please me that much :)

Sorry I can't help it, I need to steal a photo of my boy with that lovely setting!

getting that idea

i thought it might be cool to make a club of mothers like me - working mothers, scared mothers, mothers who love to design and are into the crafty-artsy stuff.

what if that club can provide mothers like me the desire to become World's Greatest Mother Hens (or at least to our family)?

what if there's a mothers club where mothers like me can share thoughts on parenting, enjoy our kid’s growing up years together and basically just support each other?

what if that club is so crazy that it can support each motherhood adventures?

i thought i might like to give it a shot. im going to create a mothers club called "wemake". and underneath there's a tiny line that says "babies.life.love"

Please let me know if you are in for the ride and if you have better ideas.


Lots Of Love,
Govinda
