Jelise's 1st birthday

Time flown so fast and my daughter, Jelise turned one year old just like that. Well, I'm inclined towards a colourful childish themed party so I chose candy land theme for her. I did the planning and I'm so blessed that my husband supported me all the way. I've always wanted a picturesque backdrop and lively decors where people will feel light and happy as they enter the dainty venue.

A pre-birthday photo shoot nowadays becomes a habit especially for first time moms. How endearing it is to see your little one posing in front of the camera, wearing cute costume in a gorgeous set-up of  different theme or props.

Wedding Anniversary Celebration

Last April 17, we'd celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary. Usually, we go on a trip for special occasion but this time it fell on a holy week and we are working in a budget so we just decided to spend the day simply with our favorite thing: spa and dinner. We don't go for vacation during holy week as we observe it.

Birthday Thoughts: Beautiful & Grateful

As another year of life opened up to me, I wanted to take a little time to spend over  my musing. I agree in the quote ''Train your mind to see the good in everything'' so I exercise as much as I can to be more optimistic instead of dwelling on the negativeness. Somehow, I've learned to see things positively, that there's a good reason behind things we didn't want to happen and to have positive thoughts in order to attract positive results.
