My life as a Nanay

Friends asked me why I wanted to be called Nanay instead of Mommy,Mama or Mamman. Even my husband resisted to calling me that way. Bakit nga ba? First, I really love its sound, listening to someone calls you Nanay is like being transported back to one's childhood-reading Doon po sa amin. ; ) Secondly, I had called my grandmothers Nanay and these two women inspired me a lot. They had brought up their children with so much courage and love and somehow teaching my daughter Karen to call me Nanay is like instilling into her the unconditional love that my two Nanays had given their families. Lastly, I am talking to her in Tagalog (while my husband in french) and for me Nanay is the most appropriate term she can use to call me. I can't wait to hear her first word.

Let it snow, let it snow--man!

The rasta-inspired creation of my hubby and Ms.K After loads of rolling here and there, it's done. Our first snowman of the season.;)It might not last long and will surely lose its precious eyes by tomorrow, but for now let's enjoy that smile. This reminds me of something, I just can't put my finger on it. Hmmm, do you have any idea? Think...think...! Eh-oh! Smile, it's Monday!

Vacation over

It's kinda hard to get up early again after 2 weeks of staying up late.I've started taking the girls early to bed and of course, they're awake at around 6h30. My husband on the other hand has started working and I think he misses his late mornings. Now it's back to normal sched again. Now, I'm lazily doing my chores and still hoping that my mug of coffee will take effect soon. How do you get back to normal routine after weeks of vacation?
